On Matters Pertaining to Crops,
Gives its Opinion.

The following viii appear in the FARM
erS Resrezv as q result Of summary Of
their crop reports up to the close Of the
month of June:
A few reports have been made that the
wheat crop would prove to be better than
has been estimated. Yet II anything has
developed to make any changes in former
estimates, as made by the Revsew on
June LIST as to the yield Of wheat, $780,
100000 bushels, we confess we are at q
loss to know it. All reports for the last
fourteen days show increased develop
ment of chess, q steady running down OF
the general prospects and more or less
damage from the Hessian fly. Tennessee
and Kentucky were the first states that
early in the season gave us an idea as 70
the damage of the crops. They are now
the states that are harvesting, and ii re-
ports from other winter wheat states are
as low as reports which have been re-
ceived from these, as to the yield OF wheat,
it would look to-day az if the lowest estl-
mate of the crop was high one. Wheat
for fall seeding will show q very large
proportion Of what is now called the VS.
ible supply. In fact it is quite serious
question where clean and pure seed wheat
Is to be obtained this fall. Inquiries are
now being made for this article for seed
ing purposes from Tennessee. Kentucky,
Missouri, Kansas and southern Illinois.
The spring wheat situation, as the
season advances, shows somewhat OF a
spotted character, but conditions are
fairly promising. The crop seems to be
more or less weedy, and particularly in
the northern areas. No more rain ID
needed to make this crop.
We ought, at this late day, to have some
reasonably fair assurance of the outcome
of the corn crop, but as yet nothing def
mite can be said At present all that can
be said is that the corn crop has been
subjected to wet and backward weather,
and that re-planting has been very gen
eral. The crop to-day is fairly clean,
free from weeds, and on this side OF the
Mississippi river has generally been well
cultivated. There is very little to worry
about crops at present. July and
August are the months which make the
corn crop.
Oats are heading out IN many areas
very short, but the acreage is 80 large
that with no disaster at harvest We ought
to cut very large crop of oats.

-Habitual constipation is not only one
of the most unpleasant, but at the same
time one of the most injurious conditions
of the human system, and is but fore
runner of disease, unless removed. This
is usually accomplished by the use OF
purgatives, which for the time afford
relief, but after their immediate effects
have passed they leave the system In q
worse state than before. To effect cure
it is necessary that the remedy used
should be one that not only by it's carthar-
tic effects relieves the bowels, but at the
same time acts as a tonic so as to restore
the organs to sound, healthy condition.
This PR1CKLY ASH Buffers will do. It
removes the cause and restores health.
