} PRICES DUE TO EXHIBIT (

| Des Moines, Aug. 24.--Recent sales
of Iowa live stock at unusual prices.
were reported by the Greater Iowa AS
ISOLATION today as an indication of the
advantages reaped by Iowa breeders
who exhibited last year at the Pana-
ma Pacific exposition. These sales,
which We're made to South American
buyers in Louisa and Crawford coun-
ties brought in the first instance an
average Of nearly $500 head for
Shorthorns while in the Crawford
county instance all existing records
were said to have been broken with
an average of SLOT head at sale
in which forty-nine animals were dis
posed of.
The association pointed out that
while there was keen disappointment
among Iowa breeders because their
stock at the San Francisco fair could
not be judged because. Of quarantine
regulations which were imposed by the
fair authorities, the indirect results of
their presence at the fair are now be-
ing felt.
Many foreigners and official repre-
sentatves Of foreign countries were
invited guests at banquets given by
the Iowa commission, and many ac-
quaintances were made by Iowa stock
men which are now standing them in
good stead according to the associa-
ton officials. These foreigners did not
buy many cattle at San Francisco, but
many of them bought tickets to Iowa
afterward and combed the state for
the best stock available.
Dean &C. F. Curtiss: Of the Iowa State
College, who is now in Argentina,
writes the association that among cat
tie breeders there Iowa IS recognized
as being the headquarters for pedi-
greed stock, and that the acquaint
ances and friendships begun between
Argentinans and Iowans at the San
francisco fair are being developed and
that in years to come Iowa will find
an extensive and very profitable mar
ket in South America.
The same friendships. say the assn-
citation officials. exist in other South
American countries, thruout Central
America. Canada. Australia, New Zea
;and and the Orient.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., JUNE g.
Present Indications point to wheat

year than that Of last year. Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture forecasts indicat-
Cd winter wheat crop Of 469, 100000
bushels, 3O,O00,00O bushels less than
forecast from May ] conditions, due
largely to insects in Kansas and Okla
holnH, and a spring wheat crop OF
Z4GOOO, 900 bushels. due to a decrease
OF per cent. in the acreage from
last year and to the late wet spring.
Crop conditions on June / indicated
less production than last year Of small
grain crops, but they promise to be
about the same as the average produc.
ton for the last five years. Fruit
crops as q whole are good; the apple
crop prospect is good, and especially
IL the Eastern States, but the peach
crop promise is rather poor.
Indications are that the oats crop
will be about 3000OOOOO bushels
smaller than last year, being particul-
