CROP CONDITION.

Summary Of the Monthly Report OF the
Secretary OF the state Board of AgricuI-
ture.
TOPEKA, June ll.-Seeretary Sims, of the
state board Of agriculture, furnished the fol
lowing synopsis of the condition of crops in
Kansas:
Winter Wheat-but little, If any in excess
of fifty per cent of the acreage last fall viii
be harvested.
Condition of that portion from which a
product may be expected as compared with
a few year, average seventy-tive per cent.
forty per cent. of the average annual pro-
duct for five years.
Spring wheat acreage about the same as
last year. Condition 90 per cent. as com
pared with five years acreage.
Rye area large and condition good.
Oats, the area sOWn is large, but taking
the state as a whole, the crop is not good
The condition is found to be seventy, a fall
ing on of thirty per cent since our last re-
port, caused by dry weather, the greatest
loss being in the central land south central
counties.
Corn.-The outlook for full crop was
never better at this time in the season.
The area planted will exceed the average
Of 1O2 as compared with a five years aver
age. Very few correspondents complain
of unfavOrable weather for the crop, or re-
port condition at less than 1000
POuat0es-Ihe area planted is larger than
last year, with a condition of 100.
Tame grassss-COudition for the state 90,
with large increase IN area. The dry
weather caused considerable uneasIness for
a time, but since the late rains the crop is
looking well.

A VIVA Indian NyeddInc.

Mrs. Elizabeth A. Stearns, of Dakota,
was AN eyewitness to q yeritable Indian
wedding, andin a letter to a western pa
per she describes 1t as follows:
L have been through one of the strang-
est experiences Of my life In the last few
hours. L have been to an Indian we'd
ding. There was a large tent with the
front opened and a row of stakes Gov
cred with canvas, making a fence upon
each side leading to it. Outside was
quite small tent, trimmed with all
kinds of pretty feathers, and over the
door a Wildcats skin trimmed with beads
and porcupine quilts. In the large tent,
back IN the center, against a very gay
curtain, sat young girl, a half-breed,
not more than 10 years old, dressed in a
skirt and Jacket of bright buttons and
bOar's teeth, her hair long and black and
falling in front, while a wreath of feath-
ers on her head completed her wedding
outfit. All around were ornaments, and
yards Of pink, red and yellow calico as
drapery, and on a little green trunk near
the bride sat the old chief wrapped In
buffalo robe, looking like q great bear.
Along on one side OF the tent sat the
women and girls, and upon the other
side the men, young and old. They
were all painted fEghtfully, and wore
dreadful ornaments, bright blankets and
feathers, and most Of the men had on
but little clothing. Near the middle Of
this group were piled the provisions Of
the feast, pans and kettles of meat,
bread and boiled corn.
eThe ceremonies began with the old
chief drumming upon a drum, and max
ing a shout like an animal. He then
rose and walked around the girl several
times, got on his knees and again walked
around her, knocked her from side to
side, then smOothed her hair, gave her
something that he called medicine, then
/ took a dish and placed it before her,
lmeIt down and took a sip OF what was
I In it, as she did also. He then stood up,
went through some mumblings over her
head. and then began to pass the feast
[ first 90 the women, and then to the men.
/ The girl took of her outside gray robe,
and it was given to her mother, as We
| supposed. Underneath she had a short
! blue dress, which was taken on; and
/ when the eating was concluded the poor
l little grip probably. as SO often among
savages, sold for a price. and with no
voice ia her fate slipped out OF the
/ tent In a little plain pink calico Dakota
( dress, and with bare feet and legs
I looking frightened and cold went to
I her own tent all alone. Then they
made ready Tor the dance bgt We did

A country banker recently stated that
the most profitable business connected
with agriculture was loaning money to
farmers. He added that they. gave the
best security and paid the highest inter
est OF any OF the patrons Of money loan
ers. They not only gave good security
and paid a high rate of interest, but
they allowed the money-lOaner to run
up a handsome bill for examining the
title, and for commissions for obtaining
the money from some distant capitalist
Observation shows that persons who
make a business Of lOaning money to
farmers almost invariably become uch IN
a short time. In large cities money can
always be obtained on good security for
a trifie more than the interest allowed
on state bonds. At the present time
banks and capitalists in all our large
cities are holding large sums of money
that they are not able to loan at the Ie-
gal rates Of interest. Still farmers In the
the Eparslsy- states and territories
are charged usurious rates for the use Of
money, even when they are able to offer
security on land that has been improved
and which is rapidly advancing In value.
That many western farmers borrow
money niudiciOusly is a matter OF CON-
mon observation. it is the fashion ia
most parts Of the south and southwest
for farmers 20 hire money at a rate OF
Of interest that the profits OF their busi-
ness do not warrant, and at the same
time 70 contract debts for running eZ-
pengea. They are anxious 20 make tleil
