Des Moines. April 19.-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin notes that
the last week was exceptionally fav-
3orable for farm work. The average
temperature was about degrees
above the seasonal normal and the
rainfall, altho light, was general and
well distributed ON Saturday night and
Sunday. Early sown grain In the
southern counties Is up and shows q
fairly good stand. but fall wheat is
generally in poor condition as COM
pared with the acreage and stand Of
a year ago. t s
The high temperatures and drying
winds during the first part Of the week
put most Of the ground in the northern
part Of the state in good working con-
dition and much seeding Of spring
wheat and oats was done. Flowing for
corn is well advanced In southern dis
tricts and some potatoes have been
planted. Since the warm weather and
showers grass Is making good start,
burt more rain do badly needed.
Fruit buds are still nearly dormant
In the northern part of the state. but
are in an advanced stage in the SOUTH
ern counties and q. few days will hiring
them into bloom. Apple, cherry, plums
and other fruit promise "a good crop, OF
bloom. Spraying Of tree fruits Will
begin In southern Iowa this week and
CONTINUES northward next week. This
is the important spray for apple scab.

that their little forces are SO strong
that even the United States stands in

"The peon followers Of these robber
chieftains," he continues, have heard
dinlly Of the United States. and al
ways as a mysterious. grasping nation,
eager to swallow Mexico and the iMexi-
cans at one gulp. They know nothing
of actual war: they have no idea of
the power or the resources Of the Am

were compelled to flee from Mexico
City in 1S4S, and that we retreated
from Vera Cruz In 1914: that Resaca
de la Palma and Molino del Rey and
Buena Vista were victorious for the
Mexican army, and they say, Why not
fight the United States?

MAKE final PLEA
FOR HALF-AND.HALF
Joint Citizens Committee Argues Be-
fore Senate Appropriations Com
mittee Against Rider.

The Joint citizens committee, headed
by Henry 3. F. Macfarland, yesterday
made It's fnal plea for the retention OF
the half-and-half plan Of appropriating
i for the expenses of the District at 3
hearing before the subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriation Committee. The
hearing was behind closed doors.
The great mass OF evidance which has
been collected by the joint citizens COM
mittee In support of the half-and- hall
plan was placed In the hands of the sub
committee. and later elaborated on by
MIR. Macfarland. Edwin c. Brandenburs
| president Of the Board of Trade; A. Left.
~ich Sinclair, representing the Chamber
| or commerce. and Charles J. Columbus
| or the Retail Merchants Association.
Inc speeches at yesterdays hearing
were like the closing arguments to the
jury in a long legal battle for the Sem
ate must decide the fate of the half-and-
half before many weeks have passed,
Undaunted by their failure to have the
House Kill the rider to the District ap-
preparation bill abolishing the half-and-
half plan, the members OF the citizens
committee renewed their fight in the
upper House yesterday with vigor.
The substance OF the arguments made
by the speakers yesterday wa. that the
House voted TO kill a plan which has
proved satisfactory for years, without
onering anything in its place.
Mr.. Macfarland said the joint citizens
committee represented not only taxpay-
ers, but national citizens, who have made
their full contributions to national taxes,
and In far larger proportion than many
States.
