NOT ENOUGH
RAIN IN STATE
Deficient Moisture in Most of Iowa.
With Normal Temperatures
For This Time Of
Year

The Iowa weather crop bulletin for
the week ending August 26 has just
been issued, as follows:
Rain was generally deficient, ex.
cept in Winneshiek, Scott and ad.
joining counties and in a few central
and south-central counties, where
moderate rains occurred. Many OF
the northwest, west-central and east
central counties had no rain. Tenn.
peratures averaged about normal
and ranged from about 80 on the
afternoons of the 21st and 22d TO
well down in the SOS on several
nights. Sunshine averaged per
cent above normal, being much above
normal in the Mississippi river coun-
ties and somewhat below normal in
the western part of the state.
Corn continued to make good prog
ress and is maturing rapidly in most
sections. New corn Is being fed TO
hogs in some localities and "hogging
down" is about to begin. Silo filling
will begin in some Of the northern
counties within a week The crop is
generally earlier than normal, and
with favorable weather the bulk OF
it will soon be safe from frost. Old
corn is, being marketed briskly in
some sections, which is possible
indication OF confidence in the new
crop
| Shock threshing Is nearly finished,
but considerable stack threshfng re-
mains to be done. A considerable
acreage Of spring wheat in the west
ern counties that was not cut at har-
vest time has since been cut and re-
moved from the land so that the
! tame grasses seeded Herewith can
grow In many cases this wheat has
been threshed and the yields realized
/ were sufficient to cover the expense
Of harvesting and threshing.
Fall blowing Is progressing where
moisture is sufficient. and even In
dry, hard soil, where tractors are
available, but the dry soil is breaking
up in hard clods.
Preparation for seeding winter
wheat has been delayed by dry soil
over most Of the heavier winter
wheat producing counties. Reports
! Of decrease in the intended acreage
OF this crop are numerous.
Potatoes are regarded as a failure
in many sections Of the state. Pas,
lures and truck crops are needing
rain.
Sugar beets are affected by rust
in Wright county. The plum crop is
poor. Apples in sprayed orchards
are yielding well.

CHANCE
FOR PERSHING
The General Is Expected In Quincy
and Perhaps He viii
Come on Up the
River

All the Pershing Way towns have
invited General Pershing to visit
them, and Keokuk Is one of them.
If he doesn't come on this invitation,
he might come up here from Quincy,
as the Herald says he will visit that
place.
Press dispatches today say that
General Pershing expects to be In
st. Louis next month, on his way to
his old home in La Clede, Mo- where
he plans to visit soon after returning
from overseas. President Wilson
hopes to meet General Pershine
there and to greet him for the first
time on his return. General Perish
ing has promised to come to Quincy
on his return from France.
In letter written to the late Petel
| Felt, about year ago, the genera
agreed to accept his invitation tc
visit his old friend here and to par
take of some old.fashioned Missouri
apple pie as his guest. 1t is hoped
that he can be induced to carry on
| his promise and visit Mr.. Felt'
| daughter, Miss Lula Felt, also
