CROP

There are always two extreme
parties whose estimates Of the grow
Ing crops must be taken with a great
deal of allowance. These are tae
bulls and the bears on the Chicago
board of trade. The first are interest.
ed In predicting q failure Of the crops
In order to raise prices, the latter in
overestimating the future product,
with Q view of depressing present
quotations. The truth will generally
be found to lie between these two ex.
tremes. From the best sources OF
information there Is every reason to
believe that we shall have a good aver.
age crops this fall, although compared
with last years crop there will be
somewhat Of q falling of. The aver
age condition of the winter wheat crop
Is saidto compare with laht years as fol.
lows: Ohio, So; Indiana, 70; Illinois,
Go: Missouri, 80; Kansas, 70: Michi'
gan, 80; Kentucky, 70, Tennes.
see, 90; West Virginia, 80. These
figures indicate an aggregate possible
yield of q hundred and ninety.four
millions bushels, against two hundred
and sixty.six millions, three hundred
and ninety six thousand. Taking into
the estimate the Pacific slope and the
middle and southern %utates, there Is Q
probability that this years crop OF
winter wheat will be eighty.four mil
lions and q half bushels less than last
year.
The advices from spring wheat are
not as full but q slight falling eff In
condition Is noted with q somewhat
increased acreage. Estimates place
the deficiency at some eight million
bushels' but the statistics may be
greatly changed by future reports.
Corn is late In planting but q largely
increased acreage Is everywhere report.

ATTACKING THE SEWERS.

The premature attempt to improve
the natural sewer to carry off the
storm. water of North Omaha creek,
and also certain pieces and parcels of
personal real estate, has turned out to
be a somewhat damaging experiment.
Judge Hascall's South Omaha sewers
stand the racket very we'll In the CON.
parison. Herald.
The experiment of putting anything
to o use for which 1t was not intended
Is always risky. The rewer In North
Omaha will be large enough and
strong enough for every emergency
when 1t la completed and the old
creek Is filed up as intended. Any
half finished job is subject to damages
from unforeseen emergencies like the
storm Of Monday, and no precautions
In the present state Of the old creek
bed would have prevented the over.
flow. Under the circumstances the
sewer did remarkably well. 1t carried
off more water than Mr.. Phillips
designed and in addition took a large
amount Ct surplus drainage which
ought to have found It's way Into the
earth and along tha streets, 30 1t Will
DO when tho creek oed Is PUT Into con.
dition. Tho Gamag, done to the
Woodman oil mill waB largely
IL not entirely owing to
osrelessness on tho part of its
builders. They had been repeatedly
warned that there was danger in case
of an extraordinary rainfall. In
spite of the warnings they neglected
to keep their overflow Pipe open and
permitted stagnant water to back
Itself up to the depth OF twelve feet
adjoining their property. When the
heavy rain came of course the wall OF
earth gave way.
The storm water sewers In the
north and south sides Of town are
sufficiently large to do their work
just as soon 81 they are completed.
There IL no theory about the matter.
1t Il . simple question of experience.
But during such rare occasions a. that
on Monday evening, when the rain
fell In torrents for hours at q time,
the streets and cutters must be ex'
pected to do their share Of the work,
as they do In every other city. Moth
Ing but o gigantic tunnel could drain
4, 100 acres under such circumstances
unless aided by other re-
sources. What the council ought
to do at once is to
order the filling In of the
creeks where they are crossed by the
streets. When that Is done private
property owners should be compelled
to have their lots brought up to grade.
That will efectually prevent any more
such strains on the sewer a. the one
to which we have been referring. II
will also close the mouths of the
chronic grumblers who are anxious tc
find q chance to run down Omaha and
decry all public improvements.
