NO BUMPER CROP FOR IOWA
Corn This Year Will Not Equal Yield
of Two Years Ago.
WEATHER CONDITIONS NOT BEST
State's Flight Against Tuberculosis
Declared to Be Along; Most .
Modern Lines of Experts'
Theories.
( From a Staff Corresprndent.)
DES MOINES, la., Oct. 12.-(8peclnl.)
Corn, the great staple crop of Iowa, Is al
ready beginning to crowd election news In
the Interests pf the people.- and Iowa de
sires to rank as the greatest corn state In
the union. The reports from the various
agencies are beginning to come In. The
government has already made its report
fixing the crop lrl Iowa at WO.OOO.noO bush
els. The Iowa Grain Dealers' association
will make a final report on the crop In
Iowa some time next week. The Iowa
crop and weather service will not make Its
final report till December 1. But In the
minds of the great majority of the people
of Iowa corn is the great topic of conver
sation! Just now and will continue so till
the crop Is In the crib.
In spite of many drawbacks the corn
crop of Iowa has suffered this year there
Is sure to be a pretty good crop. As much
as It Is to be regretted It must be con
ceded that It Is not going to be a bumper
crop, however.- There has been much talk
during the summer and early fall of a
bumper crop. People who talk so are 111
advised. There may be counties In the
state where the crop will be a bumper
crop, but taking the state as a whole this
cannot be said. But even If the crop is
not a bumper crop any crop that Iowa
turns out Is a big crcp arxi Is therefore
correspondingly Important and the crop
this year Is probably worth more In dollars
and cents than that of last year for the
reason that the price this year Is 7S cents
a bushel, with prospects of its going higher,
while last year It was but 61 cents a bushel
and In 1906, when the biggest crop the state
ever raised was harvested, the price was
but 45 cents a bushel.
Corn Planted Late.
In the first place this year the farmers
were late In planting their corn because
of the excessive rains during the month of
May when they should have planted it.
Farmers who got their corn planted on the
regulation day, May 10, arc probably pre
paring to harvest a good big crop. But
with the bulk of the farmers It was later
than that tlmo and with many of them It
was far In June before they got the crop
In. Corn requires fully 175 days In which
to mature, which takes to October 10 If
planted on May 10. But this year the bulk
of the crop was not planted till after May
10 and then frost came Ira before October
10 and cut the crop short at that end. The
time was therefore short at both ends
The last estimate of the Iowa Grain Deal
ers' association Is that 73 per cent of the
crop was out Of the way of frost by Oc
tober 1. There was a total of 9.1'46,523 acres
devoted to corn crop this year In this state
which Is a greater acreage than the state
ever devoted to corn before, but according
to the Iowa Grain Dealers association es
timate there was 15 per cent of this acre
age abandoned or 'tailed to mature a crop
this year, which cuts the acreage down to
7,774,545 acres, which is considerably less
than the state has had for some years
back. The September estimate of the Iowa
Grain Deulers' association was for a crop
of 2"9,S83,64:0 bushels of corn for Iowa this
year. This was probably with the idea
that frost would not come as early as It
did come and hence It Is confidently ex
pected that the next estimate of that as
sociation will be less.
The crop raised In Iowa this year is sure
to be of a poorer grado on the whole than
In many years because of the frost.' Corn
experts generally agree that when frost
takes the corn before It Is matured It has
the effect of making "soft" corn. Over
taken by the frost before the grains are
fully matured and filled out and dried the
corn never matures, for the minute a kill
ing frost strikes It all growth Is stopped
and the work of maturing stops and the
ears stay right where they are "soft."
lorra'a lianner C rop.
The biggest cern crop Iowa ever raised
was proba.bly In 19U6. when all the weather
conditions were favorable', and the final
estimate of the state crop and weather
bureau was 388,318,9'.'0 bushels. The estimate
that year was 373,275.000 bushels. The esti
mate of the government bureau at Wash
lngton this year, issued on October 7, after
Iowa had had two or three killing frosts.
was 290,000,000 bushels and the value was
put at $'-'6,200,000, being at 78 cents a bushel
Corn, the most Important crop of the
state, is the last to mature. Practically all
other crops are now harvested and all the
Important crops are harvested. The Iowa
Oraln Dealers' association estimates are the
only final estimates thus far made. These
estimates are based on the reports which
the grain dealers of the state make to the
secretary of the association, George Wells
in this city. It shows a considerable in
crease in the yield of both winter and
fcprlng wheat, but a lighter yield In oats,
barley and rye than In 1907. Winter wheat
this year Is estimated at 2.4S0.S04 bushels,
against 1. 637,856 bushels In 1907; spring
wheat, 6.120, 13ti bushels this year, against
3.&89.314 bushels last year; oats, 101.799,725
bushels this year, against 103,027,916 bushels
lust year; barley, t,SC2,850 bushels this year,
against 9.S22,37I bushels last year; rye, 79!.

commission forru of government for the city
of Des Moines the business men have be
come convinced that the only successful
form of government anywhere la the com
mission form. More than this, there have
been certain slack methods In the1 running
of the county that have not been overly ln
duclve to confidence In the old form.
One of the proportions that will be sub
mitted to the legislature will be to abolish
the supervisorial district lines In all coun
ties of the state so that the supervisors
will be elected at large from the county. It
Is claimed that this will result In getting
much better supervisors.
Then another step will be taken In giving
each county, especially the larger and more
thickly populated counties, the right to put
the county on the commission basis by giv
ing the supervisors wider authority and
better salaries. They may go so far us to
impose on the supervisors the selection of
the county treasurer, county recorder, clerks
of courts and other employes who do the
clerical work about the court house, leaving
to the selection of the people only the
Judges of the district court.
The thing that is fretting Des Moines In
regard to Its county government is mostly
a supposition that the business affairs of
the county are not managed properly and
a lurther feeling that some malefactors
have so much money or so much political
Influence that they get off without punish
ment and even escape indictment. Just
how to remedy this latter matter is a prob
lem that has not been solved as yet.
Iow a It lab. t on Tnbereolosls.
A. K. Kepford, state agent of the Board
of Control In the campaign for the eradi
cation of tuberculosis, has returned from
attending the International congress on
tuberculosis nt Washington and has re
ported to the board that the conclusions
arrived at by the congress are confirma
tory of the plans and methods now In use
In Iowa. In other words after many days
of discussion among the scientists of the
world no conclusions were reached that in
any way conflict with the lines on which"
the work Is already being done in this
state.
L One of the things decided upon there was
registration. Iowa Is already working
along that line. The purpose of registering
those afflicted with tuberculosis Is In or
der that the authorities will have a com
plete check on all persons so afflicted. The
houses will not be placarded. The main
purpose Is that some restraint will be
placed upon the poor people.. Tuberculous
thrives mostly In the hovels of the poor,
where conditions are unsanitary. Doctors
will bo compelled to report nil cases and
the authorities will then see that the prem
ises are made sanitary and In caso the
family moves out that the premises aro
thoroughly disinfected.
It was further agreed that bovlno tuber
culosis can be communicated to the human
family, which Is a matter of great Im
portance In an agricultural and dairy state
like Iowa. The Iowa authorities have ben
working along that line and a determined
campaign Is now being conducted by the

It was further agreed at the International
congress that one of the most Important
places In which to work is In the public
schools in order to educate the chl'dren to
methodB of light living. That campaign
also Is being looked after In Iowa and a
text book Is likely soon lo be prepared for
use In the Iowa schools.
Probably the most Important matter of
consideration, at the congress In the opin
ion of Mr. Kepford Is the fact that tuber
culosis thrives on lack of nutrition or im
proper nutrition. The conclusion Ik that a
new race must be devel iped with a higher
resisting power. It was claimed by all the
scientists there that a person of perfect
health would not contract the disease and
the better the health thi more cap ible he
would be to resist and lin.w It off. For
this reason the people must be educated
on matters of diet aid living. Drunken
ness and any cxtesses weaken the system
and make It more susceptible to tubercu
losis and hence to a great extent miral
questions enter Into the campaign and the
people must he educated to higher stand
ards of morality In ord t to thoroughly
eradicate the diFeas-.

OMAIIA, Neb., Oct. 11, :208.-To the Edi
tor of The Bee: I wish to correct some of
the statements occurring In an article in
today's Issue of The Bee, concerning the
alms and purposes of the National league
of Republican clubs.
It was made to appear as though the
principal object of our league was to build
up a republican organization throughout
the country and utilize Judge Taft's pop
ularity to accomplish this purpose. This
Is erroneous as the sole present object of
the work of the league and Its members
Is to promote the election of the republican
candidates. We believe this can best be
done by organization as through organized
clubs we can get the issues more clearly
before the Individual voters. It Is, however,
our hope to make these clubs permanent
and we believe that they can be made a
power throughout the country In promoting
republican principles and the success of
the republican party.
At the present time we wish It fullv un
derstood that the League of Republican
Clubs Is working solely for the election of
the republicans to minor offices as well as
thoso offices of national Imnortanco. The
League of Republican Cluhs has been In
existence for a good many years and In
some states has exercised a very large In
fluence Its officers are men of national
reputation but who have not been actively
connected with political matters and have
taken this up purely for patriotic reasons
and because they believe that It Is possible
to organize those who-believein republican
principles. Into a federated body of clubs,
which can act as a potent force In promot
ing republican principles and aiding repub
lican officials. The membership of the
league Is composed largely of business men
who realize that legislation, which Is pro
gressive but conservative Is necessary for
the promotion of prosperity throughout the
country. They believe In the refornia In
stituted by President Roosevelt and wish
to see them continue In competent hands.
They look upon the government of the
United States as a , great business, In fact
the greatest business In the world. It Is a
business which has an Income aggregating
over Jl.COO.OCO.oro a year and an expenditure
equally as great. It has hundreds of
thousands of employes and Its ramifica
tions are so great that few indeed of the

public, know the length to which thej
reach. Now our laws and customs make It
necessary fur a mannger of this business
to he selected every fuur years and tht
question we are Interested In, Is to see thai
this tremendous business Is placed In hon
eat, experienced, wise and capable hands.
In the republican enndidate we have a
man, who for over twsnt'y-flve years has
been In the public service and who has
filled every office In which he has been
placed with credit lo himself and benefit
to the public. He has steadily 'advanced
step by step until he has filled many of
the responsible positions In our government,
For years past he has been at the na
tional headquarters 1 and Is In Intimate
touch with nil Important matters that will
later come before the chief executive. Hit
close association with Mr. Roosevelt quali
fies him to continue the reforms and poli
cies Inaugurated by our president, and wt
wish him to have the opportunity to do so.
He has the confidence of the business men
of both this country and abroad to an un
usual degree and with his election the last
vestige of tho panic afld depression, which
has been so much In evtdenrja,, In our east
ern states, will quickly disappear.
Our business Interests believe that Judge
Taft is the only candidate for president,
who has the natural qualities combined
with the experience to so conduct this great
business of governing the I'nlted Stales In
such a manner as to bring prosperity to
the country. This 1s tho view of 90 per
cent of the business men of the cast, and
I believe the saijie is true of those that
live In the west. He stands firmly for the
welfare and happiness of all classes of our
people and for a square deal for both labor
and capital. He Is an advocate of all that
Is Just and honorable for the progression
of the American people.' Very truly yours,
OLCOTT PAYNE.
