CROP PR0sPECT
Much Spring Wheat in Minnesota
Ruined,

CHICAGO, June 27.-The following crop
summary will appear in this weeks issue
of the Farmers Review:
The harvesting of wheat has been concluded
in Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri. In
the former two states continuous wet weather
delayed the gathering of the grain in some
sections, and caused some damage both be-
fore reaping and after, while in shock. In
Fayette and Lexington counties in Kentucky
whole fields are reported to have been ruined
by black rust, and in Fayette the reports in.
dicate that full one-half of the crop Yves
ruined. The average yield in both states is
reported at from fifteen to twenty-five bushels
to the acre where no injury from
rust has occurred. The reports Indicate
that in nearly every portion of Missouri
farmers were unusually successful in har-
vesting wheat. The average yield is placed
as high as seventeen to twenty-five bushels
to the acre in ST. Clair, Pike, Pickering and
Charlton and Scott counties. The indications
are that the eLtire average for the state will
be unusually high. Harvesting is still pro-
crossing in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio under
fairly favorable conditions, though scattering
reports of
RAIN AND RUST
are made, but not such as to indicate any
widespread damage. Rains prevailed over
Grg e areas Of Dakota, improving the general
outlook for spring wheat greatly and appar-
SiIlly luSuIluS all average ylelu. Inc reports
still indicate that the general average
throughout the territory of both wheat and
oats was reduced 10 to Is per cent. before the
drouth was broken. In Stutsman county the
report this week indicates that not to exceed
one-half crop of wheat is promised. While
in Codington and several adjoining counties
the report shows that the crop was shortened
Is to 20 per cent. The situation in Mime
sofa has not materially improved. In Dodge,
Fillmore, Martin, Nicollet and Winona
counties the reports states that fully one
fourth to one-half of the entire spring wheat
oats crops have been ruined by the drouth,
and to the fact that the rains have come too
late The need of rain in Iowa and Nebraska
is reported in Cass, Carroll, Franklin,
Howard, Iowa, Keokuk, Marion and Van
Buren counties in Iowa. The necessity of
rain has been very pressing. and the prospec-
tive yield Of wheat and oats has been lessened
10 to 20 per cent. The corn prospects con-
tinue very promising in both the Northwest
Southwest states.

herself III her usual emphatic wav at
the door. She was shown into recep-
ton room, and in very loud voice said
to the valet: 'WiIl you tell Mile. de la
Rance that Mrs. John Bigelow of New

Hardly had the message been given
when voice from the next room was
heard in tones equally loud TO reply:
Tell Mrs. John Bigelow of New York
that | don't want 10 see her or any

Mrs. Bigelow rose and answered the in
visible lady of the house with: You
ought to be ashamed of yourself We're

the two well-matched women were face

statements regarding European coal
fields still unexhauSted. and add esti-
mates of the probable duration of their
supply.
In Great Britain the chief coal dis
tricts-namely: Newcastle, South Wales,
and the Clyde country, yield about a hun
dred and seventy million tons per year.
Taking last years consumption as rep
resenting the average annual consump-
ton for many years to come, the journal
named estimates that the British coal
mines will not be exhausted in less than
from 900 to 800 years.
In Germany the coal industry is more
favored than in any other country OF
Europe. L. is calculated that drawing
upon only one of her tields-to wit: the
Westphalian-Germany will not be able
to exhaust her coal supp Y in less than
a thousand years. She has, in addition,
the riches OF the Bavarian, the Aachen,
and the Silesian coal districts.
IL is thus evident that Great Britain
and Germany aionc-to say nothing OF
France. Austria, Denmark, Russia
Sweden, ana IJaly-are able to supply
Europe with coal for a period which
makes ali speculation about the coming
exhaustion OF the coal supply, TO say the
least, highly premature.
To suppose, moreover, that a thou

ing upon the coal supply is to put even
less faith in the resources and the
future Of science than would have been
reposed in them by man predicting in
