Annual Review of Crops-yield of

Washington, ID. c., December o.. -

pieted preliminary estimates of the
principal crops for 1883. Potatoes and

the average yield per acre for the pres
ent year is nearly - bushels, or more
exactly by the preliminary estimates
- bushels, which is II ler cent. less
than the average yield for n series of
years, or 1901 ,065. $50 bushels. This
stands for the quantity of the present
crops. The quality is another condi.
ton. II soft corn is cribbcd i'm masses
and after few weeks mild, moist
weather is badly injured or even
spoiled, II does not change the fact that
the corn was grown and harvested. 1t
Is Doubtless true, the quality
of corn no'th of parallel forty degrees
Is worse tnan for many years, increas-
ing practically the amount OF shortage
predicated by the number of bushels.
As whole the corn grown in 1858 in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Dakota, added TO half Of that grown in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Iowa and
Nebraska would make of 100, OO0, 900
bushels, only fourth of the whole
crop, SO that a possible depreciation of
forty per cent. in all of it would
be equivelant To ten per cent.
reduction in 20 value OF the entire
crop. The Illinois agent makes the
quality 81 per cent less than the aver
age in that state. An effort will be
made later, after the worst of the crop
has been fed, TO test the feeding value
of the years product. 1t is not

The young man with two watch
chains across his vest boarded q
Woodward avenue car at / / O'Clock
yesterday forenoon. Among the
passengers was an old woman who
had been inquiring about taking
the Bay City tain at the crossing.
She looked across 1T the young man
with great interest for a minute or
two and then said:
"Iour time must be very yalu-
able, youngman.n
He bowed and mumbled some
thing which she did not catch, and
leaning forward she asked;
II s'pose one O them watches is
for when you go down, and the
other is when you come up, eh?"
He shifted around to look out of
the window, and seeming some
what vexed at his want of fcourtesy,
she continued:
"Seems to me it would be
great deal cheaper to hitch an
eight-day clock to your shirt
bosom"
He didn't reply to that either
and tapping him on the knee with
the handle of the umbrella, she in
quired;
"Young man, want to catch
the Bay City train"
"Yes'm."
"What time is it by all your
watch chains" "
"I-l-about 1ll' he stammcr-
ed.
"You didn't look. Come, now, |
here's an old bulls eye that's been
in the family forty eight years and
never had an inch Of brass chain
hitched to it. I'll bet it shows the
right time nearer than anything
you've got.".
She hauled out a watch almost as
large as a saucer and ratified il
around and waved it about, and as
be Sid along the scat towards the
door she continued:
I'D let them chains run down
