was representing the state highway
department and the purpose Of the
visit was to explain the workings OF
the McCullogh-Morgan road law
passed by the last Legislature. Mr..
Malang Is strong advocate of hard
surface roads, and his speech here
was a strong plea in that direction.
The way to get them is to form
special road districts and assess the
land contiguous. The state and fed.
eral governments will contribute 60
percent of the cost. At the conclu-
sion of the meeting a number OF COM
mittees were appointed to ascertain
the sentiment of the farmers along
certain roads. Clark county can have
dirt roads and get SO much per mile
for their Improvement from the state,
but the improvements must be of a
permanent nature. The road ques-
ton is big one, and one which has
the people of the county guessing.

JULY WEATHER
THIS MONTH
High temperatures Both Day and
Night Have Advanced Crops
In This State
Rapidly.

The Iowa weather crop bulletin roi
the week ending June II mas 1us'
been issued as follows:
High temperatures both day and
night, resent bling July conditions, ao-
vanced all crops rapidly. The temper
allure averaged degrees above nor
NAL. Sunshine averaged per cent
below normal, ranging from 80 per
cen, below at Sioux City to 15 per cent
above at Keokuk Though rains were
quite general up to the 18th, after that
date they were mostly light and local;
and in most sections Of the state corn
cultivation proceeded rapidly begin
nlng Friday or Saturday. The progress
OF the crop is unusually variable, rang
inc from not yet planted on wet bot
tom lands in some southern counties,
to half cultivated the second time on
uplapds in other sections. In Madison
county corn is reported to be 10 lo
inches high, though the average LOT
the state would be about half tnat
height. In general the fields are
rather weedy, but a few days OF
warm, dry weather would speedily
correct this. The heavy rains
drowned and eroded corn and other
fields in the northwest counties quite
seriously and the plants are yellow
from excessive moisture in many sec
lions.
Winter wheat Is nearly all headed
out and generally in bloom; rye is I'LL
ing and turning; oats are beginning
to head in all but the northern coun-
ties Spring wheat is beginning 10
head as far north as the central por-
ton Of the state. The winter grains
have lodged considerably and there
are a number of reports OF red rust
on winter wheat in the southern coun-
ties, but in general the condition OF
the crop is good.
Alfalfa cutting has been delayed 10
DAYS by wet weather. Red clover is
in bloom and ready to cut in the CEN
trail and southern counties, and will be
cut as soon as there is favorable
weather for hay making. This work
is crowding in upon the corn blowing
unusually early.
A large crop OF fine strawberries rs
being gathered, though there Is some
complaint of rotting, due to rains.
Other small fruits promise we'll, but
tree fruits are dropping badly and
cherries and plums are failure IN
some sections. Grapes are blooming
freely. Potatoes are blooming and
prospects are good, except a few re-
ports of rotting where the soil Is too
wet

Armour considers government own

defending present packer control.
"As packer. l am interested in
seeing the yards handled in the most
efficient way possible and it is abso

charges are utterly untrue"
Existence of pools in the days

"The business of Armour and Com
