CLOVER CROP INJURED.
Long Stay Of Coating Of Toe Damages
Hamilton County Fields.

Hamilton County Fields.
webster City. May 1.-THE outlook
for corn in Hamilton county from this
early observation is as good as usual
With favorable weather from May q
forward, there are Just as many
chances for O bumper crop OF corn al
there Is in q season when spring Is
much earlier
According to the observations oi
Colonel Marvel. of this city, who has
lived in Hamilton county for ten years
and Is a close observer of farm con-
SGitions, this is the latest spring ex-
perienced In that length of time.
On account of the lengthy period
during the past winter when every
thing was closely covered by blanket
of ice. the clover crop was seriously
injured. about Is to 50 per cent Of
the entire crop OF Hamilton county. II
is estimated, being a total loss.
The oat planting Is about all done
and what little winter wheat is un-
der cultivation in this county Is I'M
injured by frosts and backward sea-
son.. The loss of the clover crop ,is a
serious one. for large per cent Of the
hay is clover hay. Many fields previous
ly sown to clover are now being plowed
up except where the clover was mixed
with timothy seed, the timothy being
uninjured by the Ice Of winter.
Everything points to an enormous
crop of small fruit. If late frosts hold
off long enough. a@
