CROP REPORTS.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Specials from the in
terror of Wisconsin state, rains of the past
week have injured wheat in stack. which
is beginning TO sprOut; spring wheat is in
danger of rust but the weather to-day is
excellent and danger probably past. Gen
eral manager Merrill, of the ST. Paul rail
way, thinks no great injury yet done and
the general feeling Is that the rainy and
unsettled weather is over for the present,
and that there is fine prospects of good
harvest, and that corn will not suffer for
want of rain as its roots are deep and
strong. while the ground is well moistencd
and ready for any amount of hot weather
A St Paul special gives as nearly as it
can be arrived at by competent special
agents and official staticians. the acreage
of wheat in Minnesota; the drift CT the re-
p0rts that the wheat crop will be one of
the largest and best ever grown in the
North west. Oatsi will far exceed in guam
tity any previous yield. Barley is the fin
est quality and color, and that corn alone
OF all grains is not first-c1ass
crop; potatoes will yield enormously. The
grand total of the Minnesota wheat crop
for this year will be not less than 3S. 000, 600
bushels on an acreage of 2.414, 900. against
$4,000. 600 bushels in 1881 on an acreage
of > 1854 900. The largest yield is "a bush
els per acre in Cooper county and 12 bush
els is the lowest estimate. Goodhue coun-
ty will yield over 100000 bushels, Otter
Tail nearly 1900, 600 and half; dozen
others over 100000. There has been
some rust and chintZ bugs but no grasshop-
pers to note. The gross product of this
state and DakatO territory is estimated at
s., 900, 900 to 60O00,O0O bushels wheat
Commission men are more conservative,
hut ali agree that the yield will greatly
exceed last years, and accept 3S,000,0 600
for the state as a moderate estimate. All
reports concur that there is even yet fair
show for corn. The entire product of
wheat along the Northern Pacific coast
last year was 6, TT 900 bushels. This year
ii will not be less than 1900, 600.

you have TRADE against Mr.. Camp,
do not try to crowd it into this paper.
We understand that there is to be
large amount of s'literature" distrib-
uted of a similar character to the
above, the burden of which is to
make the county believe that all the
opposition to the regular ticket is
brought about by the two papers
which have had the audacity to OPP
pose a man or men on the Irregular
ticket. This is huge mistake as can
be proven by the large number of
persons who have desired the calling
of new convention, and the large
and respectable gathering of men
who will meet at Irasburgh on We'd
nesday. We will suggest to those
who circulate the s'literature'' that
they state just what the positive
qualifications are that make DIR. Tenn

a few questions may be given which
sFair PLAY" can answer:
Is the reputed standing of DR..
Templeton such in this vicinity and
elsewhere that he will reflect honor
on the county if he is sent to the
senate?
Has he any special fitness, by edu-
cation, experience or familiarity with
law and business for the position of
senator?
What speech did he make while in
the legislature on any popular bill
that gave him credit?
| Why do the records of the house
show that he was absent from his
seat (not voting) more than one-third
of the time?
Finally, what one qualification
