The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1885-09-17

New YORK, Sept IA ru nor prevailed
in this city that the telegraph operators
were about to strike on account Of not re-
ceiving pay for extra work. The belief
that there might bs general strike was so
strong that when the day men quit work in
the evening at the main Western Union
building here they were asked by passers-
by if there was a strike. One OF
the members of the brotherho hood said: I'VE
have little cause for complaint in the east
ern offices, and especially here, for we are
paid for all extra work The men will not
strike. They will insist on being paid for
overwork. By our contract with the com
pany, either party must give months
notice If any man is discharged for refus-
ing to work overtime without pay, he can
recover a months salary, as has been de-
cided IN a to t case

winter wheat in a aaa ,y.v.

WASHINGTON, April 25-Tho 6rst monthly

says there has been reduction In thS area Of

December made the shortage 8 per ceht. This
is equivalent to reduction Of 10, 600, COO bush

crease in area Is reported in every state except
Oregon. The decrease In Illinois is II Der
cent; that Of Minnesota ia slightly less, but the
figures are not given. The present condition
of winter wheat as reported, is worse than III

last year, and SO per cent. In 1853. In 1881,
the year of lowest recent ratio of yield, the
condition April was So, and serious loss was
sustained afterward. The real status Of the
crop will be better shown a month hence, when
the vitalitylof the roots has been demonstrated
and the character Of the spring determined.
On the present showing the reduction of yield
on this years production promises to be more
than 81, 100000 bushels from winter killing and
low vitality, in addition to the loss from diinin-
ished acreage. Whether the crop will exceed
4o0,000,000 bushels or falls short OF it depends

shortage in winter yyheat.

s. 7. X. Prime, of Dwight, ILL.,, recognized
as high authority on crop matters, was on
change at Minneapolis yesterday. He is Just
now making up his reports on the winter wheat
crop for the month of April. This report he
says, is nado up from 1, 700 points in the winter
wheat belt and covers the territory thoroughly.
Win tho exception Of Michigan. MI. Prime
says, not single state in the on wheat belt
will produce an average wheat crop this sea-
SOIL. The poorest outlook is in Illinois. Tho
indications are now that not enough wheat
will be raised in that state to furnish bread aud
seed. Kansas and Missouri will have about
half crop. Ohio and Indiana may have
two-thrdS crop, but probably not more than u
half. Tennessee and Kentucky will not pro-
duce over one-third Of an average crop. There
are no conditions which can arise now TO iln-
prove this outlook, On the contrary, the gem
eral averages are likely to run down. The
wheat left OIL the ground is generally thin,
and will grow up weedy, and with more or
less Cheat" Tho spring wheat outlook and
inal results OF the crop have never been Of 10
great importance in tho history Of the country
as this season. In 1884 the spring wheat area
evensd up the deficiency in the winter wheat
states, but under no circumstances will It be
possible, with the present conditions, to mako
up the shortage this year. Mr.. Prime says his
report which will bo issued about the Lat Of
May, will show worse condition Of affairs in
the winter wheat belt than his April report

Barley as a Crsp.

That barley Is coming to be considered as q
profitable crop in North Dakota Is evidenced
BY tile fact that Mr.. Nestor, of the Nestor farm.
will this season sow about 1000 acres Of barley.
During drive through the northern portion
OF the county few days ago, Mr.. Nestor saw
some barley that he pronounced to be nearly
perfect. The barley in question underwent no
special care, being cut with mower and
cured In the same manner as hay is cured, and
from this Mr.. Nestor decided to seed large
portion OF his farm to barley. This will be
done OF tho kind known % the two-rowsd
barley, the seed for which has been sent here
from New York. In regard to tho malt house
to be erected at Valley City, Mr.. Nestor says
that at present he is not prepared to begin tho
erection until he is more fully convinced that
the enterprise will ba success. To insure
this he must be convinced that-a large crop Of
the right kind will be raised As an incentive
to others he is making start in this direction
himself with the number Of acres named above.
Should other farmers follow his lead and
raise barley OF the good bright color required
for good malt, MI. Nestor will no doubt be in
duced to begin the erection of the malt house
talked Of. Should this be done the era of pros.
porous manufactures for the shsyenne valley
will receive substantial impetus

BETTER Times Ahead.

There has never been time when the out
lsok for prosperity in Dakota was better than
now. The trouble in Canadian northwest tor
ritory is not only directing immigration from
that section to Dakota, but hundreds of settlers
In Manitoba and hecountry west are prspar-
ing to desert their homes and move acrsss the
boundary line. These facts, taken in eonnec-
tion with the prospect Of great war abroad,
insuring good prices for wheat, and the favor
able weather for seeding, make the outlook de-
eidsdly encouraging. Farmers, business mon,
real estate owners, eapitalIsts-in short, all
classes feel greatly encouraged. Farmers gen.
orally are preparing 70 SOW more grain than
they hid contemplated, real estate is looking
up, and there are indications OF dscjdsdss
