Weekly Bulletin of the Iowa Mea-

For the week ending June 26,
1917.
The weather during the last
seven days was exceptionally ia

Temperature was about normal

light. except in the northern

occurred, accompanied in some
localities by severe wind squalls
which did some damage to crops.
Corn cultivation progressed rap
idly and most fields are fairly
clean. Much replanting was done
on late, overlooked bottom lands,
but some fields intended for corn
will be devoted to catch crops. All

light Potatoes and all garden
truck are i'm excellent condition,
and a good crop of early potatoes
seems to be already assured. The
set of apples and other tree fruits
is generally good south of central
Iowa, but over the northern coun-
ties the set is lighter on account
of cold, rainy weather during the
blooming season. The June drop
of apples is not yet over, but is
expected to he about normal. The
damage to grapes by winterkilling
in Pottawattamie county is not as
great as was anticipated. A good
rain would be very beneficial in
the southwestern and south CEN

May 1e17-our Soldier BOYS.

May 1917-Our Soldier Boys.
How OIL our memory back returns
10 this sweet month of May;
How Oft We'll see our soldier boys
In dreams both night and day.
When duty called them to the
front,
With honor they did go
To fight beneath the Stars and
Stripes
Against the common foe.
Our soldier boys will do their
part,
Not one of them will lag:
In foreign ountries they must
fight
10 save our nations flag.
They pledged for us their life and
all,
To keep our flag unfurled,
And tidings OF their victory
Shall echo round the world.
And ere the sun sinks i'm the west
Our boys are far away.
They re marching in the sacred
ranks
or Uncle Sam today.
OftimeS they'll follow fife and
drum
While foreign lands they roam.
And il they stand knee deep in
They'll think of home, sweet
Meath the Teutons' tangled bull
And their cruel ways to kill,
See our boys go marching onward
To the summit Of the hill.
Der i'm France mid gloom and
sunshine,
If perchance our boys must
fight.
They'll put down those great as
SaSinS
Ere they see the dawn of light
Our boys they heard their coun-
try's call:
How glad they We're to go
And join their comrades at the
TO fight the foreign foe.
And in defense of human rights
They'll right till victory's won,
There is no boys like U. S. boys
When put behind the gun.
They do not wish to give offensc
For peace is their delight:
If Teutons dare insult our flag,
They have our boys to fight.
God bless our nation and our flag
God bless each mothers son.
God bless our faithful soldier
boys,
Till victory they have won.
Upon the blood-stained battle
field,
Perchance our boys might be.
And some may fight on ocean
waves,
While some midair might be.
Twas not for joy, nor mirth nor
Our boys left home that day:
They went to fight for freedom
For US some future day.
If Fate so Wills they should come
back
When peace doth reign SUI
prcmc,
We'll hoist Old Glory i'm the air
For your boy and mine.
Then war drums will be cast away
We all shall be as one.
And strengthen with The tie that
binds
Loves brotherhood of man.
