THE WHEAT AND CORN CROPS.
The Recent Rains Came Too Late To Be Of
Benefit to Wheat in the Northwest

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE following crop sum-
mary will appear in this weeks issue of the
Farmers Review:
In portions of Dakota, Minnesota Wisconsin
and Iowa the injury to spring wheat has been in
creased and has embraced a wider area than
was noted in the detailed reports of the Review
of the preceding three weeks, when the great
danger threatening the crop from blight was
fully outlined. In large sections of Dakota
Minnesota and Wisconsin the fields were visited
by light rains at the close of this week, but the
damage to grain was such as to prevent any re-
vival of life, and the injury inflicted was com
plete. In the sections where the drought was
the most severe the yield will not exceed five to
eight bushels to the acre. The rains
which prevailed during the closing
days of the week bettered the
diana and Ohio Nineteen counties in Iowa re-
port that all of the crops which have not
already matured show injury from drought, the
most serious effect being shown in oats The
rye and barley crops have both been harvested.
and are below the average Corn is looking
well, and in the southern portion of the State is
in tassel. In jefferson. Palo Alto, Blackhawk
and Howard counties the injury to spring wheat
is reported serious, with the prospect of not to
exceed one-half an average crop. The winter
wheat crop was harvested in good shape. The
yield viii average from twelve to twenty bush
els In portions of Wisconsin all grains are
reported to be suffering for lack of rain. In
Sank county the drought is declared to be the
most severe and protracted since 1864. The bar
ley crop is reported to be almost an entire failure
in this and adjoining counties. In Minnesota,
the only county to report an improvement is
Blue Earth, where rains reported
in time to save the crop, and So per cent. of an
average yield is indicated. In Mower Sibley,
Wright, Dakota and Olmstead the fields are
badly burned. with promise of so or rs per
cent of an average crop. The meadows will all
fall short. Corn is still looking WE'LL and. with
more moisture, promises full yield. Dakota
wheat is not filing well, and dry. hot winds in
many sections have lessened the outlook for an
average yield. In Sphinx and Stutman counties
the yield will not be more than one-half an
average. The barley outlook throughout the
Territory is poor. In Illinois. Indiana Ohio
and Michigan the winter wheat is all in stack, or
has been thrashed. The largest yield in Illinois
thus far reported is in Pike, Plat and Motgom-
cry counties, where the grain is thrashing out
twenty bushels Marion county will average
about ten bushels. The average for the State
will be from thirteen to fifteen bushels.

Edward Bedts, farm laborer employed on the
farm of Jacob S. German, near Auburn, started
out after dinner. driving two-horse corn cult
vator. Upon the seat of the cultivator he had
placed sack filled with straw, which seems to
have frightened one of the horses. The team
dashed around in lively and spirited manner
but were finally held under control by the
driver Supposng they were over their fright,
and finding the harness in some manner dis
arranged, Bedts went around in front of the
team to regulate the harness. when the horses
again became suddenly scared, and, springing
forward, knocked Mr.. Bedts down, while the
cultivator passed over him, instantly picking
him up. With mis- head down among the plows,
and his feet up, the poor fellow was dragged
over the rough road for distance OF quarter
of mile as fast as the frightened horses could
run He was not released from his pcrilous and
painful position until small bridge was crossed,
when the wheels of the cultivator, bounding
high, dislodced the mangled victim, only to
breathe and moan for few moments. Deceased
was an unmarried German, about forty or forty
Eve years Of age. He has two brothers living in
Alton, who have been notified of his unfortunate
death
