The Iowa weather and crop ser
vice bulletin for the week ending May
8, has just been issued as follows:
The week was exceptionally favora bic
for farm work and the growth of
vegetation. There was an average
daily excess of temperature Of about
degrees, and, while the rainfall was
below the normal the heavy and gen.
eral rains of the previous week and
the light showers on the 9Th and 7th
kept the ground in excellent filth.
Rapid progress was made in prepar
ing ground for corn and much plant
ing was done in the southern and
some in the northern sections. This
work will be rushed during the COM
ing week and with favorable weather
the bulk of the crop will be in by the
18th and practically all of it by the
Goth. Early planted corn is up in the
southern counties. All small grain,
meadows and pastures improved dur
ing the week, but winter wheat is still
below the normal. Truck crops ara
doing well. All tree fruits are in
bloom, but apples are lighter than
last year and peaches are practically
NIL The frost on the I'd seems to
have done but little damage. Stock
in pasture and doing well.

Harrison Rhodes, whose book, I'm

few weeks ago, declares that our coun-
try life in its holiday aspect has at

contribute to the interests of interna-
tional peace.
"We have English servants" says
Mr.. Rhodes, but they bring breakfast
to the bedrooms in the continental
fashion and deal intrepidly with bath
rooms and open plumbing in a way
never to be acquired in Britain.
Negro cooks prepare risotto, and
Italians learn how to turn a buck

toms of our most civilized classes in
America are quite as much in the
melting pot as those of our least.

RICHES TO BE DEVELOPED
Beds OF shaie in Western States viii
Yet Be Made to Yield Millions
of Dollars.

Little attention has been paid to
shaIe in this country because the
quantity of petroleum produced from
wells in the United States has been
sufficient to satisfy all demands, but
for more than fifty years the oil shale
industry of Scotland has been very
important one In a recent year more
than 5000 men were employed in the
industry in that country, yet the aver
age yield of oil per ton of shale was
much less than that which appears
possible from the shale of Colorado
and Utah. 1t Is estimated that In
Colorado alone there is sumcient
shale in beds three feet or more thick
and richer than the shale being mined
in Scotland. to yield twenty billion
barrels of crude oil. from which at
least two billion barrels of gasoline
may be extracted by ordinary refining
processes. This shale contains mate
rails which, when heated, may be con-
verted into crude oil, gas and am
monia. The high cost of distilling oil
from shale as compared to the cost
OF producing oil from wells has thus
far prevented the development in this
country of such an industry and may
continue to prevent it for some time,
but in due time this great source OF
supply will be utilized to supplement
the decreasing production from the
regular oil fields. The gas, which is
a very good Illuminating gas, will per
haps be sufficient to furnish all the
heat required to distill the crude oil
from the shale. Ammonia, a most
valuable by-product of the distillation
may be utilized in the manufacture oil

| compounds, as the market demands

Scientists Have Discovered Reason
Why Some Resist Entrance and
Action of Decay

The reason why one kind of wood
Is more durable than another is ow-
ing to the fact that it contains the sub
stance known as tylose in more gem
erous quantities
Tylose is the material which fills
the pores of the wood and resists the
entrance and action of decay
For instance, white oak is well suit
ed and much used for barrel slaves,
where barrels are to contain liquid,
while. on the other hand. red oak,
which is apparently of the same struc-
ture. Is not at all suited for the pur-
pose. A close examination of the
white oak reveals the presence of the
tylose which seals all the little pores
of the wood. Red oak has none of the
tylose- For this reason a fence post
OF white oak will last much longer in
service than one of red. Timber en-
gineers who inject creosote and other
substances into wood to retard decay
long ago made lists of species that
were hard to treat, and others which
were easy. The preservative fluids
penetrate certain woods to a consider
