IOWA WEATHER
CROP BULLETIN
Corn Remained at StandstiIl for Week
Owing to Cool Days and Not
Enough Rain in
State.

| The Iowa weather and crop bulletin
for the week ending August 81, says
of conditions in the state:
! Another cool week with deficient
rainfall has been unfavorable for
crops.
Corn has remained practically at a
! standstill. Reports of denting have
been received from only few locali-
ties, mostly in the northern half of the
state. The bulk of the crop is yet in
the roasting ear stage and much is
yet in the milk. The damage refer
red to in last weeks bulletin as re-
sulting from wind on the goth has
been extensively discussed with
township crop reporters visiting the
state fair this week. 1t appears that
for some unknown reason corn in
nearly all portions of the state has not
put out strong brace roots. Some
correspondents state that the corn
root worm has been working extern
sively and others that some sort of
rot or fungus h;.s attacked the roots.
The heavy rains of the 19th-21st over
much of the western and northern
portions of the state loosened the soil
and weighted down the corn stalks
which were unusually tall and heavy.
| AS a rule the stalks lie in all direc-
tion$ in a tangled mass and not in one
direction as is usual when blown
down by wind The damage was
equally as great on new ground as on
old Approximately half million
acres have been damaged in this way
and with the crop in it's present back
ward condition the value will be re-
duced at least half over that area for
| it has little chance to recover. More
over, it is believed that over much of
the state the same poor rootage pre-
walls and that heavy rains or moder-
ately strong winds produce the same
result.
| Shock thrashing is practically COM
pleted. Only stack thrashing re-
mains to be done and this is but
relatively small portion of the crop.
Fall blowing made good progress
during the week, particularly where
moisture is sufficient. Considerable
was done even in dry, hard soil by the
use of tractors.
In anticipation of considerable soft
corn this fall and because of the short
age of cars for transporting grain to
market, there has been a considerable

ANOTHER LEGION
IS DISAPPOINTED.
centerviIle Soldiers are Finding it
Difficult to Dispose Of Tickets
for Their Lyceum
Course.
CONTRACT FOR SHOWS
People Of Town However, Do Not
Seem to be Inclined to Buy
Tickets for the
Events.

II keokuk post No Al of the American
Legion is not alone in it's disappoint,
ment over the failure of some of its
plans for entertainments, it would
seem. Centerville post is having a
hard time disposing of tickets for a
lyceum course, as the following from
tine Centerville Iowegian shows:
4 The American Legion boys are
wondering why the people of Center
slvllle have not responded more freely
lin subscribing for the lecture course
tickets. The Legion has contracted
las good a course as they could pro-
4 cure, informing the Redpath bureau
i that they wanted the best they had
as they did not propose to put on a
1 program that would not be meri-
torious. They signed up six num-
bers which will be given at the
lopera house. And then they made
their canvass for tickets. The re-
lsults have to say the very least, been
idisheartening to the boys. They had
ibeen reluctant to ask fer any public
contributions to provide them with
needed funds for their local expenses.
$50 they devised this plan to give the
! public something of genuine worth.
and make it an avenue for bringing
some money into their treasury. I'm
Hess the people of Centerville respond
abetter than they have thus far they
Twill have less money after the course
lis given than before it begins, as not
nearly enough tickets are subscribed
flor to pay expense.
How They Feel
I'VE had supposed that the people
of Centerville would take enough in
terest in good lecture course 10
buy tickets of u.s." one of the men
iactive in all affairs of the Legion
stated. I'VE have not been asking
the people for money for ourselves
in the past, and we thought surely
i they would buy these lecture course
tickets. We suppose we could in
! some way induce enough to buy to
pay expenses, but we will be greatly
disappointed If we do not do more
/ than this. We want some money left
for our treasury. We can hardly be-
I lieve that the people of Centerville
! are unconcerned both about high
class entertainment course and the
interests of the American Legion"
! 1t is felt that in all probability
much greater interest will be taken
| in the course a little later. 1t opens
/ the latter part of September 1t may
be that many have hesitated to sub
scribe for tickets ahead Of time. At
/ least the boys will be out in another
effort after while to make the course
a financial success and help out the
badly depleted treasury of the
Legion.

Deer Flat Farmer
Gets Bumper Crop

Nampa.-What is believed to be the
record production of the Idaho rurals
in this state was made this season
by Edgar Chitwood, who raised 3488
sacks of this popular variety of POI
tatoes on the w. S. David ranch in
Deer Fat. Those potatoes passed
the certification test and all but a
small quantity being held for seed
were sold for $3.50 per hundred. Only
one sack Of so were graded as culls.
Mr.. Chitwood, who came to Nampa
last year from Williamsburg, Kans.,
estimates that the cost of producing
this record breaking crop was $3.50
an acre, which leaves him a net profit
of nearly 5000 an acre for his work,
more than enough to pay for the land
from the first crop.
Part of the potato field yielded as
high as 400 sacks to the acre, though
the average yield was slightly under
$50 sacks. Three acres Of the field
were planted to alfalfa, until this year
while the balance had been cropped
to wheat and corn successfully for a
number of years past.
While this record is we'll above the
average, it is taken as only another
evidence that the Deer Flat section
Of the Nampa valley can compete with
the world in potato production.

WO1 increased usefulness
automobile has been opened
by the recent 20 per cent increase
in rail passenger rates and the so
per cent increase in Pullman rates.
c. E. Wyckoff, Overland agent, be-
lieves there is no question that COM
muters and folks living in small
towns can go more cheaply to the
big centers by motor car than they
can by rail.
And, apparently, the people have
been quick to sense the possibilities
Of cheaper travelling opened by the
motor car. Although the rail rate
increase had been in effect only two
days, reports at one of the greatest
railroad centers in the country a few
days ago indicated that day coach
travel has suffered noticeably be-
cause of the increase. At the Union
station in that big center the second
night after the increases became ef-
fective, it was reported that many
local trains carried less than. half
the usual number of passengers.
How are these. day coach riders
getting 10, and from their business
and their homes? In most cases, the
motor car is the answer to the ques-
ton.
In some cases, reports show, COM
muters are paying daily fee to the
owner of some automobile for TAX
ing them to and from work. Usually
the machine is owned by some neigh
Dor. And, in addition to the lesser
cost of travel. these folks are find
ing quicker service and much more
pleasant ride.
The increase in Pullman rates,
which is about SO per cent. is ex-
pected to have a decided effect on
long distance touring although it is
too soon now to determine to just
what extent.
Motor car manufacturers and dis
tributors in general are looking to
the increased rail. rates to increase
materially the demand for motor
cars because of the possibility Of in
creased usefulness to the public.

WATER YIELDS
WONDER METAL
Tougher Than Cast Iron,

inunn, It May Cause Car
Building Revolution.

! Chicago, Oct. Brine water,
taken from the earth in Michigan,
may solve the problem of lighter but
stronger construction of automobiles.
The REQ Motor Car company's engi-
neering department is now expert
naenting with Dow metal, a magnes-
INN metal manufactured from brine
water and recently perfected by the
Dow Chemical company of Midland,
Mich.
The REQ engineering department is
one of about 40 automobile concerns
conducting similar experiments. Ex-
periments with pistons predominant.
IT these experiments result satisfac-
torily, and they have so far, accord
ing to reports, the Dow metal will
have . universal use in this one par
ticular part of motor construction.
The Dow company is already organ
ixing in this matchmaking depart
ment and has begun the manufacture
of the new metal on . big commercial
scale. Metallic magnesium was the
Iightest metal known to man, and
before the war, was q strictly Ger
man product. The Dow company,
however, began . series of expert
ments for the production of this metal
about five years ago and have de-
veloped processes and alloys not
previously known. The metal is OBJ
tanned from the salt water of the
mineral wells owned by the Dow
company around Midland and Mount
Pleasant. The metallic substance OBJ
tanned from the water and which is
known as Dow metal, has only one
fourth the weight of cast iron. II
is one-third lighter than aluminium
and has shown a tensile strength
greater than either.

Arabian Frights.

Once upon time the son of noted
caliph was led into the presence of the
first of two princesses, between whom,
it was decreed, he should choose a
wife. As he gazed upon the unbeau-
tiful countenance of the first his face
paled and he staggered against the
tapestries.
"He needs air" remarked his pros
pective father-in-law. And he was
given air and he revived.
When he recovered he was escorted
into the apartment of the alternative
bride-to-be. But one glance at the
blushing maid was enough, for with
a grasp he collapsed headlong upon
the divan.
"He needs air again." declared the
observant father, once more turning
to the windows.

tim family. Gimme straight Oxygen"
