Uttbuque, May 29.—Weather condi
tions during the past few days have
proved very beneficial to the farmers
in the vicinity of Dubuque who have
been unabl& to get their corn planted
because of the c#ld and wet weather,
according to t'he weekly Crop report
Issued by the superintendent's office.of
the Illinois Central. The report states
that all the farmers in this vicinity
have now about completed their corn
planting and are very optimistic re
garding the crop, saying that they ex
pect one of the biggest harvests in
many years. In some places a number
of the farmers were forced to do re
planting, but this was caused more 'by
the poor .grade of the seed corn than
by the weather.
-^TIMES-REPUBLIC AN, M&RSHALLTOWN, IOWA. MAY 29,1916,
the southern "part tff Minnesota are
having as much luck with the
corn and have started to sow other
grains In the field which they for
merly intended for corn. The report
also' says that oats and other small
grains are also showing great pro
gress and that a big crop is looked
for. Following Is.the report In detail:
The past wqiek began with unseason
ably cool weather, there being a light
frost the nlKht of the 18th and an aver
age dally temperature of about seven
degrees below normal. The last three
days, the^weather has be&i warmer and
with the moisture in the ground from
the heavy xalns of Saturday and Sun
day, growing conditions are Ideal.
Weather Favorable.
Corn planting, which had b^en sus
pended owing to excesHive rains and
cold, has been going on vigorously the
lest few'days, as well as plowing of
land that has been under water. On
the line between Freeport and Water
loo. the corn has nearly all been
planted, tho It may be necessary to re
plant some of that put in the ground
between the 10th and 18th of the month
on account of poor seed not germinat
ing due to cold weather. On the Albert
Lea district, conditions are not so fa
vorable, the corn 'being about one-half
planted. Some farmers have become
so.dlscotirage\ they are seeding ground
intended for corn in flax. Early planted
corn that has come up seems to be do
ing nicely and will be ready for first
cultivation within the next week.
Oats, are doing nicely, stand contin
ues even and color good. Weeds are
causing a little trouble In some lo
calities, but as a general thing pros
pects are good for a large crop. BArley,
wheat and other small grains have
made an excellent growth this last
week.
•Figures received from points on
the Albert Lea district show there is
an increase of about 25 per cent in

First, because it is a comfortable riding car. Plenty of room for five
people deep, soft cushions springs made of the best spring steed,
scientifically heat-treated, accurately suspended and balanced. ..You
will always be comfortable in a Maxwell.
Appearance Second, because the Maxwell is a trim, smart, good-looking car.
Many makers of heavy, high priced cars, as you know, have copied^ the
general lines, the shape of the body and hood of the Maxwell. This is
more of a compliment than an infringement.
Third, because the Maxwell, being a product of thirteen years evolution,
is so designed and manufactured that it gives unfailing, consistent and
and satisfying service to thousands of owners.
Maxwell cars are made of the best materials that money and brains can
buy—and they are made right. You can get out of any car only what
is put into it.
Fourth, because you get everything in a Maxwell that you can get in
any car and you get it for less money.
The answer to this is that the Maxwell is a light car and it is built in
enormous quantities. The Maxwell Co. is one of the three largest pro
ducers of high grade motor cars in the world.
Fifth, because the Maxwell will give ybu more miles per dollar than
any car built.
We say this without hesitation or doubt. It is our honest belief and we
are willing to prove it by Maxwell owners, by comparison with any
other car or by any other way you suggest or prefer.
The Maxwell will please you. We know it will• Let us arrange for a dem
onstration and well take the responsibility of satisfying you completely.
