DRY IN IOWA, TOO.

Allen Louks Writes of Crop Conditions About Maxwell. Allen Louks, formerly of Jasper county, writes The Democrat under recent date as follows : Dear Sir:—lt is very hot and dry here. We have our w’ork all done, early oats cut and hay put up. The late oats yet to cut and they are very light, hurt by the hot weather. The hay crop is light, not a half ton to the acre in some parts. Early oats hurt to some extent and the late oats can’t make more than one-fourth crop. What oats I have I contracted last month for 38c per bushel. All last summer I thought it was very dry, but oats were good and corn fair. The hot winds hit us last -eek and on the 3d of this month we got another little dip, so one cap look over the corn fields and see lots of the top blades dead and brown. Although corn is most all in tassel and looks fine considering the dry, hot weather. This morning the news went over the wire that the thermometer at 10 o’clock stood at 108 in the shade, so the Hoosiers who read The Democrat can see it is pretty warm in lowa. I believe yesterday, the 4th, was the hottest day I ever experienced until, today. At half past eleven I was pretty near all in and two others with me on the porch. One was overcome by the heat, but rallied. Yesterday three of my boys attended the 4th at a town east of us seven miles and said they never saw people suffer as they did there on the ground. One of my neighbors was up

to our county seat, eight miles north, and reports the city well had gone dry, the first time since it was put down 42 years ago, and the first time to ever show any indications. So Nevada, our county seat, is dry for sure. The saloons are gone and the neighbors say you can’t get a bottle of pop in the town it is so dry. But at our town, Maxwell, you can get root beer and pop, and the druggist might put in other stuff, too. For some drug stores are not to good to have a blind p’s; hid in the rear corner. One can see men in our town that are said to be dry, intoxicated—whether on soda water or strawberry or other soft drinks, I don’t know. Yes, better news follows—it thundered once when I sat down to drop a few lines to The Democrat and now out of a small cloud that has come up quickly is just a regular downpour of rain. Now, Mr. Editor, maybe you think us Hawkeyes by adoption but Hoosiers by birth are not enjoying the blessing we will receive from this bountiful rain. Respectfully,ALDEN LOUKS.

LADT WARWICK AND HEE FAVORITE HORSE. Long before Mrs. Belmont of New York thought of espousing the cause of women or establishing a farm school an Englishwoman, the gifted land beautiful Countess of Warwick, organized and opened a college for women horticulturists. In her school dairy work, market gardening, poultry farming, beekeeping and horticulture are all taught. It was established to benefit well bred women thrown on I their own resources in earning a living. Capable women teachers are in charge of each branch of the work. Lady Warwick publishes a paper, the Woman’s Agricultural Times, which exploits the work of the school. The icountess also established an association of women agricultural workers, known as the Daughters of Ceres. The products of the school, one feature of which is a jam factory, are disposed of for the benefit of the institution, whose preliminary expenses were borne by Lady Warwick. The Agricultural college originated in 1898, when the Lady Warwick Hostel was established at Reading. England. Later the school was removed to Studley castle, about fifteen miles from Bir- I mingham. ' Gardening has always been a fad with the beautiful Countess of Warwick. At Easton Lodge, the magnificent heritage which she brought her husband, she has one of the finest rose gardens in the world. Every known species of rose is said to grow there. I Her garden of friendship is remarkable. Everything, in it has been con-
