Harvest Returns East of the Rocky
Mountains.

| ultlOu VI tue growing crops, anu tue pIO-
| gress of the harvest collected from all
portions of the United States East of the
| Rocky mountains. The dispatches COM
prise reports from over nine hundred
counties. Of these reports the Times
makes the following analysis: The wet
weather of the past two months has re-
suited in an extraordinary growth Of all
kinds of grasses. Consequently the hay
crop will be large in all parts Of the
| West, and as it has been very generally
harvested, and is, therefore, free from all
danger, there need be no fear Of a scarci-
ty of hay. Wheat has been harvested in
the sections lying south Of the 44th de-
gree of latitude, and in Wisconsin it is
much above the average, both in quantl-
ty and quality.
In Illinois and Indiana some damage
has been done to the crops by the rain,
bugs and other cause, 50 that the yield
will not probably exceed three quarters
! Of All average.
In Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and
Iowa, the reports snow that the crop will
! be largely in excess of last year. In the
| two first named States the depredations
of the grasshopers have been com
parativcly Insignificant, and unless
some unlocked for calamity occurs
the producers will realize far greater
return for their labor than ever before.
In Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri,
and the Eastern States, there is every
prospect of fur better yield than mere
tofore, and the production will be far in
excess of the consumption. The pro-
duct in these States is represented as be-
ing much superior IN quality to that OF
former years. 1t is noticeable that for
the first time in twelve wears, the South
will raise sufficient brcadstuils for home
consumption This will, Of course, re
lieve the North from the necessity Of
shipping grain in that direction, and
enable us to supply the deficiency in the
European markets. Oats promise an ex-
traordinary large yield, but the heavy
rains that have fallen recently have
lodged the grain somewhat, and the
chinch bug elsewhere caused some dam
age but there is every indication
that the yield Will be 45 to
| 80 bushels to the acre and in many Sec
tiuns much larger. Rye and barley
promise well. These crops are MT OK
iensiveIy grown, but there is every indi-
cation that the supply will be fully equal
to the demand Corn Is not yet maturrd
in the Northwest.
In Alabama Mississippi, Georgia and
some parts OF Arkansas and Tennessee
the crop has been harvested and
. II, g..
In Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and
Indiana the crop is backward, but unless
frosts should occur previous to the mid
die of September, there i, no reason to
apprehena short crop. In Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan the backward
ness of the crop is such that there is little
hope of more than half u crop, but ~
these States raise but little corn, the
dimunition OF the crop there will have
but little influence on the supply. POta-
toes will yield full crop in all sections.
The Colorado bugs are only seen for tas
most part il the Eastern States. In the
West they have Disappeared having
been almost entirely cXtrrminutcd
| By the heavy rains. Some complaints of
| it, dcprrdatiOns come from points east
of Ohio, but none from the West. Re
ports of the cotton crop are exceedingly
! favorable. The army worm, 50 dcstruc-
/ tive to the plant, has appeared in but few
sections, aud has been deferred from
active operations by the eNigen-
| cirS of the weather, consequently the
cotton product of Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Nir-
! 1. a. Il
The plant is Towering in even the most
northerly latitudes, and in the extreme
South picking has commenced. The
planters are Sanguinc of Il .plcndid crop
and as there has been no trouble
with the negro laborcr- there will
be no danger OF loss from
incomplete harvesting. As to fruit and
vegetables, the dispatches are not very
full, but rs these products supply but Il
temporary want, and there Is no com
plant of failure there will be probably
enough.
Later-Loss Greater tlInn nt First
Supposed.
The loss ut the Fourth street fire this
morning is much larger than at first sup.
pcsed. Blocks loss is between $4,000
and 100000. VIM. Donaldson loss is
1920, loss on the building $4,000.
Dick Holcmcl was found dead in the ru
ns. His body was terribly torn and
mangled, it being broken in two
lust below the breast. Chief
Mcclure is doing as well Is could BE- OK
pccted and hopes of his recovery are
very strong. Mccormick cannot re-
cover, rs he had one side OF his face
Knocked oil, and Is injured worse than
WAS supposed this morning. The rest OF
the Injured are doing well.
