THE GROWING CROPS.
Insects in the Winter Wheat Districts-A
Good Promise for an Average Yield.

CHICAGO, May 30-The following crop sum-
mary will be published in this weeks issue of
the Farmers Review:
AS the season advances the reports of the
presence of insects in the winter wheat fields
grow more numerous, but beyond certain
afflicted districts in Kansas, Illinois. Indiana
and Ohio. the reports are Of an isolated char
acter, and do not appear to seriously threaten
the general outlook for an average crop yield.
Southern Illinois continues to send in
the most favorable reports. Greenwood, Frank
lin and Pawnee counties in Kansas, Fulton
and Highland counties in Ohio and Howard
county in Indiana, report considerable
injury from chinch-bugs. Grasshoppers re-
ported "A aamarons quantities in Howard coun-
ty, Indiana, and in Athens county, Ohio. Look
ing over the entire winter wheat belt, the prom
Use is still good for average yield, but the
early promise that the season was to bring forth
bumper crop will now be abandoned. The
acreage would not warrant such an outcome, I'M
less the conditions were.everywhere extremely
favorable. The late returns from Kansas do
not indicate that the former estimate, from 40
to so per cent of an average crop, will be ex-
ceeded The State of Michigan does not prom
ise more than IS per cent of AN average YIELD
while the average of Illinois now threatens to
fall to 80 per cent In Missouri, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and possibly Indiana ana Ohio. the
conditions are still favorable for full average
crop
Turning to the spring wheat States and Terri
tories, the conditions continue TO remain favora-
BILE in Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin for wheat
and all the small grains. In Minnesota, wheat
on many of the lowlands has been drowned out
by the recent heavy rains. On all high and we'll
drained lands the outlook continues to be excel

largest wheat-producing county in the Territory.
reports the wheat prospects never to have been
more promising. The remaining counties re-

Harvesting will commence in Tennessee, and it
is now promised that some grain cutting will be-

ing-rink, instead Of at the cemetery, and hun
dreds of people OF once left the grounds for the

gramme rendered.

rain, every thing passed off satisfactorily.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY ga largely attended
mass meeting was held at Industrial Hall to-
night, under the auspices of the Textile Work
ers' Association, to give Endorsement to an ap-
peal to Congress to remove the customs duties
from all raw materials and to protest against the
importation of foreign labor. Speaker Carlisle
was expected to address the meeting. but a let
ter was received from him to-day regretting that
his duties at Washington prevented his taking
part in the demonstration. In his letter he
says:
"In my opinion the time is rapidly approach
ing when the great body of laborers who en-
gagged In our manufacturing industries will be
convinced by their own experience that putting
rates of duty upon imported articles, and especi-
ally upon articles necessarily used as materials
in our shops and factories, is detrimental to
their interests; and they will demand. you are
demanding, that our revenue laws shall be so
changed as to secure for the products Of labor
an equal chance with the products of their
competitors all over the world"
A preamble and resolutions were passed set
ting forth the deDlorabe condition of labor in
the United States as AN evidence that the pres
ent system of protection does not benefit the
wOrkingman; that the capitalists who do not
profit by it still maintain free trade 10 labor,
bringing dangerous elements into the country
under it from the servle nations of Europe and
Asia; that thestax on raw material being greater
than that on manufactured articles it is cheaper
to import manufactured goods, thereby depriv-
ing American labor of opportunity for employ
ment; that American workmen know we'll
how to protect themselves peaceaby as those
who know other remedy except dynamite;
that they protest agaist the heavy tax on raw
materials; that they call on Congress to vote for
free wool and for further revision of the tariff
laws as provided in the bill now before Con-
eress, and. finally. that they demand OF Con-
eress more stringent law to prevent the i'm
portation of pauper labor.
