THE CROPS.

Although the wheat is nearly all gathered
in Kansas. the country at large is just IN
the midst Of its harvest, and fair to large
crops are reported from all quarters. In
some places there has been too much ram
in others the crop has suffered somewhat
from rust, and other causes, so that the as-
gregate yield will not be as great as was
auticipated few weeks ago, nevertheless II
is good. The New York Herald OF June -,
has crop reports from various parts OF the
country, and referring TO these, says edito-
rally:
The money value of our wheat and cotton
crops depends somewhat, of course, upon the
strength of the foreign demand, and reports
from abroad give promise of AT Least falr de-
mand for our surplus The prospects OF an
abundant harvest in this country seem 10 DE
excellent. About thirty million acres were
in wheat the present year, an increase over
last year in area sown of fifteen per cent. Tor
winter and eighteen for spring wheat. We
notice, rs a curious fact, that while the total
surface sown with wheat is nearly as great as
all New England, twelve States will this year
produce nearly four -fiths OF the entire crop.
These are Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Cali
fornia. The crop promises TO exceed three
hupdred and fifty million bushels, of which
forty-hye millions Will be needed for seed.
and il is estimated, that we will have
surplus of seventy million bushels for ship
ment.
Besides the thirty millions IN wheatwe have
fifty million acres In Indian corn. Illinois
alone has nine million acres in corn, aud
Iowa five million. The acreage of corn has
increased twenty millions since 1850. The
prospect is for a fair rather than a great crop.
The acreage in oats is ten per cont. greater
than last year, and the yield Will be above
the average. The acreage in cotton is three
per cent greater than last year. The South
ern States have far greater area in food
crops than ever before, the planters having
discovered that it is profitable to them TO
raise grain as well rs cotton. We notice also
that in the New England States there is an
increase in the number of small wheat fields.
which shows that the farmers in that region
have found il profitable to raise at least a
part of the bread they consume.

THE FREIE.PRESSE.

We notice that new Haberlein has been
added to the management Of our German
evening contemporary. The firm is to be
known as Haberlein Bros. and consists of
four of the same family. The FreieIfess
Is acredit to Eeavenworth, and deserves the
substantial encouragement of not only our
German fellow citizens, but Of all our mer-
chants. 1t circulates among a class ofpeople
who have money, and an advertisement in
Its columns will always pay handsomely.
A good German paper is not only beneficial
to our city, bnt to the entire State, as natu-
rally many copies find their way to Ger
many, and lead to inquiries in regard to
Kansas, Its people, its resources, its climate,
and the advantages it offers emigrapts.
The Efeie Pesse has nc ephemeral existence;
is not here for day or a week, but is fix
tore, Ind as such THE TINES congratulates
the Messrs Haberlein on their success, their
journalistic ability, and the esteem in
which they are held by their neighbors.

AMERICAN TRADE DOLLARS IS
CHINA.

The New York Shipping List having de-
MED that the American trade dollars sent
to China circulate in that country as coin,
the BULietin, of San Francisco, applied to
the two leading banks OF China-the ORR
entail and the Hong Kong and Shanghai
for authentic information. One Of the
banks reported that the United States trade
dollar has been well received in China, and
is eagerly welcomed in those parts OF the
country where the true value of the coin is
known. 1t is legal tender at the ports
of Foochow and Canton, in China, aud also
at Saigon and Singapore. The reply OF the
other bank was: Trade dollars are cur
rent by count at Singapore, Penang, Bang
kok, and Saigon; they are current by
weight at Swatow, Amay, Foochow, and
Canton. In the south OF China, The Straits,
and Cochin China, the trade dollar is well
known, and passes without comment along
with the Mexican dollars.

s'WaAT MAeES ND MANY
TfsANPSr, r1

Hon. Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania,
in a recent letter disspssing the question
"What Makes so Many Tramps ?p thus sets
forth very clearly one of the principal rea-
sons why there has been so much unem-
ployed labor in the country, for the last
few years:
For four years, 1866 tcloSe OF the war to 1855
inclusive, We built s,sI7 miles of railroad,
which included nearly all of the Pacific Rail-
road and its branches. The next four years,
1859 to 1872 inclusive, We built 24,s05 miles
and for the next four years, including ls76,
there were only $500 miles built, a difference
of Is, ,s99 miles in four years. There were in
1873, in the united States. 7O,s5l miles of rail-
road, which had cost almost 5000, CO.., coo,
more than half Of which amount returns
nothing to the investors. Our railroad system
had then been extended till there was on an
average one mile of railroad to every 5.5 Fer
sons. All experience in railroading wherever
the experiment has been tested proves that
for a railroad to pay anything there must be
on an average to the mile not less than 800 per-
sons tributary to the business Of the road. In
England the average to the mile is l,9l6, and
in France $40; and yet but few OF their rail.
roads pay. Railroad building in this coun-
try, therefore, ceased, or comparatively ceas-
ed, in 1873, from sheer exhaustion in that
line Of development, having locked up in
unproductive investment over t2y0O0, 100000,
Its stoppage. in addition to leaving unem-
ployed the labor that had been engaged in
the preceding four years in building 1900
miles OF road, put an end for the time being
to the great demand for iron, and with 1t the

CONVERSATIONAL CONVENTION.

We had an editorial few days ago, call
ing the attention of the people to the I'M
portance Of attending the primary meet
ings. Ii We want good men nominated to
office We must send good men as delegates
to our nominating conventions. At the
coming congressional convention there will
undoubtedly be an animated contest, and it
is important to the interests of Leaven-
worth that the city districts, especially,
should be represented by good men. We
give below a list of names of gentle
men who have been suggested by large
number of citizens as suitable persons to be
sent as delegates to the District Conven-
ton from the several wards of the city:
First Ward-D. L. Anthony, Judge T..
Stillings.
Second Ward-Lucien Baker, Judge II.
NJ. Aller.
Third Ward-J. ii. Gilpatrick, Judge
Jno. A. Halderman.
Fourth Ward - Alexander Caldwell,
Judge ROBERT NroZler.
These are all gentlemen who are well
known not only in Leavenworth but
throughout the State, and if sent to the
convention could make their influence felt.
The object in making the selections has
been not only 10 take men who are thor
oughly identified with the history of Leav-
enworth, who are recognized as solid, sub
stantial citizens, and representative men Of
the various interests of the city, but at the
same time men who will be personally dis
interested in the result Of the contest, who
will have no individual axes to grind in
the convention, and whose conduct will be
governed solely by a regard Tor the best in
terests of the District.

TEE TIMES.

Our advertising patrons may rest assured
that THE DAILY TINES, circulation in the
city exceeds that Of all others combined,
that It's mail circulation is six times
as much as that OF any other paper
in The city, which fact can be easily es-
tablished by any one desirious Of seeing
the proof Oar aim in the future as in the
past will be to make THE TINES The paper
OF the Missouri Valley.
On the first OF August, or as soon as the
old stock OF paper is used up, We shall en-
large The TINES, not for the purpose of
making room for more advertisements, but
for the purpose Of giving more reading mat
ter.
-Four years ago our receipts for subscrip-
tions were only about $500 per annums
gross.
In the year 1877 the subscription receipts
were about $4,000. This year, 1873, pro-
viding the last half OF the year is as good
as the first half, which closed June 3Oth,
our gross subscription for 1873 will reach
$4,000.
Under these circumstances a plain duty,
which The TINES owes TO itself is to en-
large and improve to the extent that its
presence in eyery'family in the West will
be regarded as a necessity.
or course, the greater the subscription
increase the more prosperous the paper.
Three years ago our subscription receipts
were only one-third Of our advertising re-
ceipts. To-day, our subscriptions will al
most equal our advertising receipts. In
other words our subscriptions increase in
greater ratio than our advertising re-
ceipts. We give these facts with pride.
THE TINES is undoubtedly the strongest
financially, and upon the most permanent
footing, OF any paper in the west. Mere
words OF thanks do not express our graft
tude to the patrons of The TINES, and We
trust in the future by strict attention to the
needs of the newspaper public to furnish
reliable news at the earliest moment and
shah strive to make The TINES a better
newspaper as each year is added to its
existepce.

An exchange referring to the assertion
made by many Republicans that the re-
nomination of Geo. T. Anthony would
cause the defeat of the lee.I ucge cts in
many OF the counties, SAYS that State Con-
ventions are not intended to Hx up local
tickets, but tha: the Republicans Of the diff
ferent countits should nominate good and
popular men, who can poll the full party
vote. Suppose you Apply your own rule To
the office Of Governor, and nominate Il man
who can poll the full party vote, instead Of
running behind his ticket from fifteen to
twenty thousand votes We thought State
Conventions were held for the greatest good
OF the party in all parts Of the State. We
would like To know what special obliga-
tions the Republicans of Kansas are under
TO Geo. T. Anthony, that they should be
required to jeoparCiise local tickets for the
sake OF packing such a dead weight through

interest in the success Of their local tickets,
il is safe to say that dead weights will not
command a premium in the Convention.

Care With Early Fruits Essential.
Success.
[American Agriculturalist' July.l
Care with early fruit is quite essential to
success, and selection and neat packing are
found to be As important with this as with
any o,her fruit The time was when one would
fill a wagon body with early harvest or
sweet bough apples, put in shovel and
half-bushel measure, go to the nearest vii
lase and shovel up his fruit, pack il in pa
per-lined new half barrels, or in baskets or
crates, and put upon msrSet a. carefully
as If it were pears or peaches. Thus treat
ed, summer apples pay. as some growers
know to their profit. Among the best and
most profitable eating apples, We euumer-
ate the following, remarking that the list,
as with fruit lists, will not answer for all
localities: Benoni, Carolina Red June,
Early Harvest, Large Yellow Bow, Pri-
mate, one OF the best, but tender; Red As
traehan, tart, and excellent Tor cooking
Summer Queen, large and profitable Te-
toisky, Williams Favorite.
Early pears come TO maturity rapidly,
and ii not gathered in time, many are apt
to rot at the core. Selection and Ut al pack
ing pay with these.
Thinning fruit, however thoroughly it
may have been done early in the season,
will still need attention that any excess
may still be removed.

The Ox-eye daisy abounds in tie East
Unlike the plantain, it grows in cultivated
land, while the plantain, called by the In
dian the white mans foot" from the fact
that it grows in and near trails, is general
ly found in hard or trampled soil. The
Ox-eye daisy is an exceedingly pretty flow
eli, 5ui should not be allowed to grow even
in gardens. IT is a rascally weed and will
soon overrun the soil when allowed TO get
a foothold. 1t is often coniounded with
May weed but, noxiou- a. this latter plant
is, the ox-eye daisy is far more no1ious
and may easily be distinguished, even by
the inexperienced. 1t grows taller, and
the flower stalks are taller, the blossom
with a spreading circlet OF petals. Ii
should be destroyed wherever found. Here
and there in the West it has found a lodge
ment, either from the unpacking OF nursery
stock or its introduction by some good peo.
pie, from its supposed efficacy as an anti
