The Wheat Crop.

The Wheat Crop.
The new wheat crop is now being threshed
in all sections of the county and we regret TO
learn that the yield is far short of the expects-
ton. In consequence of the frequent storms
during and since harvest, much of the wheat is
in vary bad condition, and the prices realized
in many cases have been below one dollar. The
depressed condition of the market makes il
doubly incumbent upon farmers not to allow
their wheat to be threshed damp and out OF
condition.

Crop Prospects.
The Department of Agriculture has issued
its July bulletin. The result is very encourag-
ing. From the spring wheat sections reports
show the prospects better than in almost any
past year. Indications thus far point to a
spring wheat crop surpassed by only one years
production From the corn belt little further
south reports are quite satisfactory. The crop
is well advanced, and in very good condition
Going still further south, from the tobacco belt
the reports are fairly encouraging, though in
some sections the weather has been unfavorable
to growers On the whole, however, The in
dications point TO tobacco crop above the
average in acreage and yield. In the cotton
belt the crop in certain sections has teen in
iured by an unusual amount of rain. This is
particularly ture in Mississippi.

fee, and that would be the end Of his trou-
BILE. The Controller would file the pa
per with the Secretary, who would
debit him with the fee. If it was the case
of an order for paper to be made by the
Secretary, the latter would forward direct
to the party ordering it, precisely as he
does now. Or, if the fee was not paid in
advance, he would send out his collection
PAYABLE to the Controller instead Of to
himself, as now, and the payor would ex-
perience no more difficulty in paying to
the one than to the other. Nothing more
simple or speedy can be devised. The
Controller could not avoid the filing or the
order, since an interest is involved that
would speedily disclose any malfeasance or
neglect. He could not steal the fee, since
the Secretary's book would show he had
received it, and his bond would protect the

curing service in State office orders it
and pays the fee, and there is not of neces-
sity any check whatever, in a vast number
of cases, to testify to the amount received,
or whether any sum was paid or service
| performed. And we aver that for years
the opportunity has existed, by which, in
the fee offices, thousands of dollars may
have been stolen, for which no record,
document on file, or entry need of neces-
sity appear, or does now appear. The
check system would not in the slightest
degree increase the fluctuations of the

THIS week the Office of the Immigration
Association Of Northern California is to
be opened for business in this city. The
officers evince disposition to go actively
towork, There is great deal to be done
enough to keep them more than busy for
year. Their success can scarcely be a mat
ter of doubt. The time has come for us
to blow our trumpet, so long silent. We
only need to make sure that we blow no
deceitful blasts. There must be no misrep-
resentation, no exaggeration of the claims
of northern California. We are certain
that the officers of the parent organization
will tolerate nothing of the kind, but in
some of the counties disposition is shown
to speak with little more than enthu-
siasm. The people must not expect speedy
results from the work of the society. 1t
is to sow now, and the harvest may be
late, but is certain to be gathered We
are to work, not for ourselves alone, but
for the generation to come after us In
every section Of the district the friends of
the movement must now take hold of the
work. 1t demands individual action, some
self-sacrifce and deal of energy The
enthusiasm shown at the September meet
ing encourages the belief that it will be
lasting, and that the evidence of the faith
of the people of northern California in the
land of their choice will be made manifest
by their works.
