IOWA CROP SERVICE
REVIEW OF THE WEEK BY D..
RECTOR OF WEATHER BUREAU.

For the week ending May s, 1917.
The first four days of the week
were cold and wet, with heavy snow
in nearly all parts OF the state on
the Sd. The last three days were
clear but continued cold, with frost
and freezing temperatures in many
localities. Field work was practi-
cally impossible and the growth of
vegetation is at standstill. About
rs per cent Of the blowing for corn
is yet to be done, but with the favor
able conditions now prevailing plow-
ing will progress rapidly during the
coming week. and corn planting will
be rushed in the southern counties.
All spring sown small grain is doing
nicely and winter wheat has improv-
ed some. All tree fruits seem to
have escaped damage from the heavy
frosts. Reports show serious dam
age to cane fruits. The cold, wet
weather has been hard on young
lambs, pigs and chickens.
The secretary of the State Horti-
cultural Society reports condition of
fruit on May 1st as follows: Apples,
10 per cent; pears, IS; American
plums, IS; cherries, "a; peaches, less
than s. grapes, 81; red raspbcrries.
IS; black raspberries. GO; blackber-
ries, 60; strawberries, "A per cent of
"a full crop. The average condition
of all fruits is 81 per cent, or one
point below the May average of last
year. The condition Of apples and
cherry trees is . per cent better than
last year, and the cane fruits and
Strawberries about 10 per cent lower
than year ago. A severe cutting
back of injured canes of raspberrie9
will improve the quality of the fruit.
Clear, warm weather for the next ten
days will be a large factor in deter
mining the size and quality of the
fruit crop in the state.

LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS.

Speaking for the newspapers which
refuse to carry liquor advertisements
some $50 dailies in the United States
Mr.. Schermerhorn, editor of the De-
troit Times, says:
1--WE believe that if newspaper car
ries on its first page the story of a
tragedy caused by liquor and on an
other page a guaranteed cure for
drink, and ON still another page asks
everybody to have q drinll-that the
whole process is as inconsistent as
when the nurse marries the under
taker to catch the patient coming and
going. We believe that for news
paper to take liquor advertising is to
do behind the bar what the bartender
is doing in front of the bar"

Temperance

eEAT BARON MuNcAAusEN.

A liquor paper Recently commented
on the decreased death rate during the
past five years and claimed that dur
ing the same period the sale of liquor
greatly increased. 1t made this state
ment among others:
Sane people who are honest with
themselves will draw the conclusion
that the nation is going along under
constantly improving conditions Of
sanitation and sobriety, and while using
liquors more freely, it is using but not
abusing"
Then the liquor editor made a mis-
take. He sent copy Of the paper to
the Journal of the American Medical
association. Now the Journal had
among its reference books a copy Of
the Statistical Abstract of the United
States, which gives the official figures
of liquor consumption, and after con-
sulting that authority the great medl-
cal Journal also makes a statement. 1t
is this:
statistics or the figures themselves
never lie, but compared with some OF
the interpretations which are made
from them by the advocates of per-
sonal liberty in drinking, Baron Mum

BOOZE HABIT DECLINING.

A New York advertising Journal
gives some interesting testimony 0nent
the decreasing popularity of drinking
among business men. The entire al
cohol bill of all the lunchers and din
ers at the Advertising club of New
York for q recent month was $50.
There were something like 1000 reg
'ular meals served in the club rooms
during those &c working days, not
reckoning dinner parties. This makes
the average bill for booze not over
eigh4-tenths of cent per person per
meal. In other words not over one
diner in forty took drink with his
meal.
