cording to the latest reports received
by the Iowa weather and crop ser
vice here. The present indications
are that the yields per acre will be
up to normal, the condition of all
crops having improved materially
since June i.
No definite figures are available as
yet on the corn acreage. Director
Charles j. Reed said today that the
acreage in corn Is undoubtedly
larger than the farmers had con-

For this reason there is a Wide
variation in the height or growth or

other fields just coming thru. But
the average condition is approach

and warm weather work wonders
with an Iowa corn crop.
Small Grain Condition Good.
AS has been noted in previous re-
ports the winter wheat acreage in

as compared to $4,000 last year
The acreage seeded last fall was
about 40 per cent less than the fall
proceeding and during the winter

spring wheat acreage Is about 80
In spite of unfavorable seeding
conditions the acreage devoted to
oats is about per cent less than
that OF last year. The acreage OF
barley is estimated at 21s.o00 acres
as compared to $4,000 last year.
The condition Of the small grain,
however is good The latest reports
on small grain issued by Director
Reed declare that Spring wheat and
oats are in fair to good condition
and heading generally but short.
Winter wheat is blooming and tllling
and promises nearly an average
yield per acre. Barley and rye are
heading and are In good condition
generally. All small grains need
rain badly in the southern and to
some extent in the central dis
tricts.''

| For some time this proposition has
been discussed and ways and means
Of carrying 1t thru have been pro-
posed but 1t was not until today that
the first real steps toward consum-
nation of these plans was taken. 1t
means one of the largest improve
ment tasks ever undertaken in the
county and will result according to
the supervisors from the two coun-
| ties affected. in untold benefits to
land holders and to a protection from
the high water never before realized
since the installation of levee work
here.
This Is to he a patchwork PROPOSE
ktion only to the extent that all the
holes or weak points will be rein
forced. It means, actually, the
Strengthening of the entire levee and
then, adding enough to insure pro-

The sun, OF 100000 is approximate,
but It is conceded as fair estimate.
Work will be started as soon as pos
sible.

Des Moines, June 25.-Much CON
Germ is manifested here over the coal
shortage which now exists thru the
country and the prospects of serious
trouble In securing coal next fall and
winter.
The lack of freight cars has hit
lines of business and mines are re
ported shutting down in Iowa as
elsewhere. Reports from Philadcl-
phia are that the railroad yardmen' i
strike has reached the anthracite
coal regions and shipments OF hard
coal will be ut u standstill unless
there is speedy Improvement
From Minneapolis to st. Paul II
is reported that cars can not be had
to ship coal from the docks along
the lake and the supply of coal ut
the docks Is away below normal.
There is n threatened coal famine
in the northwest which industrial
and coal experts believe may develop
into an unheard of calamity" ac-
cording to reports from the twin
cities. Coal on hand at the Duluth
and Superior docks Is reported as
only $4,000 tons compared with A.
10000 tons last year and last years
supply was more than n million tons
short Of actual requirements.

commission from centerville Thurs
day sent by the Southern Iowa IT'LL
tiles Company stated that their
mines had closed down because
freight cars can not be secured for
shipping coal. The capacity OF the
mines is about 1000 tons per day.
and at least sixteen freight oars
per day are needed to handle the
output.
state Railroad commissioner
Charles Webster, who served as STATE
fuel administrator during the war
and again last December during the
coal strike. considers the outlook for
coal most discouraging. Storage or
coal during the summer months as
much as possible - the only recourse
in his Judgment.
While grain elevator men and
farmers with grain to sell, bankers
holding the paper OF grain men and
others are urging the interstate COM
MERGE commission TO send grain cars
to Iowa, coal operators and civic
bodies are beseeching the commits
sion to provide cars for shipping
grain. Railroad men. however, point
out that the demand for cars is ma
ton wide, that lack of man power
due to the switchmen's strike IS
one of the serious factors contrib
uting to the shortage and that all
lines of business are affected either
directly or indirectly.
