Fort Madison Gem City: Federal
agents, quietly swooping down upon
the city yesterday, paid a brief bust
ness like call upon several person
ages and gave them fair warnings OF
what would happen to them should

The Iowa weather crop bulletin
for the week ending July II, has just
been issued as follows: Though the
average temperature was somewhat
below the normal, yet there was suf
ficient warmth and sunshine during
the week to maintain the rapid growth
of corn. The moderately cool
weather prevailing since the first OF
the month has been especially favor
able for small grain, which is now
almost free from rust. The straw is,
however. rather short, but the heads
are filling well and promise good
yields. Early oats, rye, barley and
winter wheat harvest is well adj
advanced In southern counties and
will begin in central districts the
coming week. Haying is progress
ing in all districts under satisfac-
tory conditions generally, but the
crop is light with little or no clover
in the southern counties. Although
corn made rapid growth, it is still
small for the middle of July. How
ever, the fields are clean, the color is
good and the crop as a whole is very
promising. Early potatoes are be-
! ing harvested, but the tnbers are
mostly small and the yield is not
quite up to expectations. A good
soaking rain is needed for potatoes
| and pastures and would benefit corn.
Considerable damage was done by
hail in several localities, especially
in Washington and northern Scott
counties.
