Wheat Harvest on

Cou,,tjes--Corn Booming
Special to Times-Republican

Speclal TO IlmeS-RepuDllcan.
Essex, July 6.-The farmers in south
western Iowa have been improving the
past week in finishing blowing corn.
This has been the best growing week
for corn of the season and it has made a
remarkable growth as there is plent:
of moisture in the ground and the pros
poets were never better for a record
breaker crop Of corn at this tine of
the year. Checked corn Is genela ally
farther advanced and is not SO wieidy
as listed corn, and farmers who disc
their ground and then listed report the
ground as not as mellow as it should
be, which convinces one that blowing
deep for corn, whether 1t is to be
checked or listed Is the best method to
have the ground in mellow condition,
which insures good yield of corn, The
prospect was never better for bumper
wheat crop, and harvest will begin July
in this section. Farmers are Offering
$3.50 per day for help, as timothy and
clover hay will be ready to cut just as
soon as wheat harvest is over. Tim
othy will yield, it is estimated, from
one and one-half to two tons to the
acre. The second crop of alfalfa will
also be ready to put up soon and will
make good yield.
The farmers are we'll pleased thus

them will charge any extra premiums
on policies in force before the holders
entered on active service.
New policies on the lives Of militia
men are limited to $4,000 by the Pru-
Dental. Metropolitan and Equitable
The New York Life will insure up to
$4,000 and the Mutual has no limit.
The Mutual will charge an extra an
nual premium OF IS per $1,000 on all
new policies to militiamen going on
active service, whether they leave the
country or not. Subject to the same
conditions, the Metropolitan and the
Equitable will charge extra single pre-
miums Of SIS and $40 per $1,000 re-
spectively. The Prudential will call for
an extra single premium OF $40 per
$1,000 from all policy holders on active
service who go within 100 miles Of the
Mexican border.
These premiums are figured on the
basis that 3 per cent of~those sent~to
the front in war with Mexico would
be killed or die from sickness. In the
early months of the European war
many policies running into millions OF
dollars, were written on the lives of
Canadian soldiers at normal premiums.
The hot fighting In Flanders, however.
increased the death claims so much
above the expected that the companies
were forced to charge large extra pre-
miums on most OF the policies issued
in the last twelve months.

Cherry trees In Iowa are in danger
Of cherry leaf spot, disease which
causes severe damage If not sprayed
just as soon as the present crop Of fruit
is removed" is the warning sent out by
Prof. r. j. Nancy. OF the horticultural
section Of the Iowa experiment station
at Ames, in answer to many inquiries.
The trouble is a spotting and yell
lowing Of the leaves caused by the cool,
damp summers, such as 1915 and this
year. The leaves first become spotted,
then turn yellow, and finally drop off.
In many cases." says Professor Nancy,
1.-THE trees are entirely defoilated before
August"
In 1915 the season was especially
severe. In one 3-year- old orchard of 100
trees at Clarinda, the infection became
severe during June and by July Is the
leaves were all gone. Later on they
made a short second growth, but they
went into the winter in a depleted con-
dition and as q result every tree in the
orchard was winter killed.
This disease can be readily con-
trolled with Bordeaux mixture, used
as outlined in extension bulletin No.
60 Of Iowa State College, which may be
secured by writing for it. 1t is abso~
lutely essential that the spraying be
done just as soon as the present crop

Bugs Eat $4,000 900
Breakfast Evsry Day
at Farmers Expense

Every time you sit down to break
fast. the bugs and insects of the land
sit down to a breakfast off your fields
and gardens that costs You $4,000, 900
a meal" said President r. A. Pearson,
describing the work Of Iowa State Col
lege in a. talk before the recent rural
life conference, which met at Ames.
Each year these insects eat enough
of our crops to endow m institution
the size of Iowa State College in ev-
cry state in the union"
1t Is the work of the college to fight
these insects and keep them from the
crops. explained the president. 1t Is
also the college work to study the re-
sources Of the state and help to con-
serve them. College experts are study
ing ways of saving the coal, which is
estimated to be all used up in $50
years, and the petroleum. which may
be gone in twenty-five years If the
present rate Of increase in use Is KEPT
up.
THE public has come to respect the
man who fights the bugs and insect
enemies and the harmful bacteria un-
der the ground just as much as tho
soldier who fights human beings
above grounds" declared President
Pearson in explaining the favorable at
tltude now being taken by the public
towards the work of the college and
experiment station.
'Have q garden of your own, even
If no larger than a wash tub and have
it the best garden in the neighborhood.
Then understand the insects that get
your cabbage" was the advice given
the preachers at the conference az
way to get in touch with country con-
ditions.

of Lee county who rode their farm
horses fifteen and twenty miles to
West Point one day last week to take
par in the cowboy potato horse race
put on as a part Of the county club

may not make the speed that the cow
boy ponies do, but SO successful did
the race prove that Prof. E. G. Bishop,
Of Iowa State College. state leader of
boys and girls clubs, declares that he
is going to have one at every county
club picnic from now on.
This potato horse race was adapted
by Professor Bishop from the cowboy
celebrations of the western plains and
is played by q number Of boys on
horseback, who attempt to carry pota-
toes from a box on one side Of the
square to a box on the other side, hold
ing the potato on the end Of long.

knock of the potato tina the other
fellow Is carrying. At the end of a

awarded to the boy who has the most
potatoes in his box.

Cedar Falls. July 6.-There Is little

warm weather brings it on, according
to Special Agent Foster of the United
States department of agriculture, VINO

also that his investigations over the
state lead him to believe that there will
not be as much oat smut in any part
of Iowa as there was last year.
Porter was much impressed with the
excellent condition Of the corn crop in
this vicinity. He says it is very good
considering the poor quality of the seed
farmers hereabouts were forced TO
plant this year. With the best seed
last year than In many years, the 1915
corn crop was no further advanced at
the same time than the present crop.
The present period Of warm weather
will save the corn crop, he believes. In
some parts of southern Iowa the corn

says, but in southeastern Iowa heavy
rains last spring delayed the planting
so much that the crop Is threatened,

If the oil is of good quality, 1t will be
