I'm THE CORN FIELDS.
Condition of the Crop of This
CPra1l.


Cereal.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The following crop
report will appear in this weeks issue of
the Farmers Review:
The rains during the week ending Saturday
were more general throughout the corn belt
than of any previous time since May, and
brought a medium of hope to farmers
whose cornfeds were literally burning and
whitening. The reports from correspondents
received during the week indicated more
thoroughly than ever before that the total av-
erage yield will be seriously reduced, vast
harvests being blighted hey ond any power of
resuscitation. Out of ninety counties in
Ohio Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri, from which returns came during
the week, only Is predict a full yield, 80 indi-
cate not to exceed half an average yield, IL
indicate not to exceed one-fourth crop, 26
report the promise of three-fourths of an av-
erage crop, while in 10 counties corn promises
yield of not to exceed five to ten bushels an
acre unless for fodder. The most discourage
ing reports are from Illinois. Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and Missouri, while the most encouraging
come from Ohio and Michigan, while Indiana
and Minnesota reports continue to indicate a
fair average outlook. In Illinois, this week.
the only county reporting the promise of a
full average yield is Edgar, while Jasper
Dewitt and Morgan report the promise of
three-fourths of
AN AVERAGE YIELD.
In Bond and McHenry counties one-fourth
of an average yield is indicated. Through
out Illinois complaints continue Of pastures
completely drying up. Late-planted potatoes
are generally failure. In Iowa Humboldt
county is the only one indicating full aver
age yield. Estimating by the counties re-
porting this week the yield FOR the state ut
large will not exceed so to 60 per cent. for an
average crop. In Decatur and Carroll
counties the crop is set down as a failure
Wheat is threshing out very unevenly, but
the grain is grading well. The yield ranges
from eight to twenty bushels. In Kansas
Norton and Osborn counties report promise
of full average yield. The state at large
promises Is to so per cent. of an average
yield. Fruit is abundant throughout the
state. In Missouri the general outlook is re-
garded rs very poor. Marion, Usage, Rails
and st. Charles counties report almost total
crop failure. In Minnesota full average
yield is promised in Kandiyohi, Wabasha
Lac qui Pare and Nicollet counties. Wheat is
threshing out eight to twenty bushels. Ne
braska promises three-fourths of an average
with continued good weather. The
threshing reports from Dakota show a
yield of from five to eighteen bushels The
yield Of the territory fall considerably
short of any form-r yeaz1y average.

COULD BE PERSUADED.

Guenther Believed to Desire An
other Congressional Term.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-It is an open
secret among Wisconsin men in Washing
ton that Dick Guenther, the Oshkosh mem
Der of congress, has not given up his seat
for good and all. in spite of his declarations
to that effect last winter. 1t was with great
difficulty that Mr.. Guenther was elected
the last time. and but for the timely aid of
Senator Sawyer there is good reason To be-
lieve he would have been beaten. SAWYER
has been doubtful ever since of Guenther's
ability TO make fourth trip, and he adj
vised him veal ago to follow his own eX-
ample in 1876 and refuse to accept a nGmi-
nation. There has been no disposition on
the senator's part to give Guenther any diff
ferent advice. Guenther however sue
ceeded this summer in getting an appropri-
alton of 500 900 for public building at
Oshkosh and this has set him in high IA
vor-so high that he is quietly improving
his chances for denomination. 1t is under
stood that the Sawyer influence will not
work actively for him, but it will not work
against him. Unconstitutional Villas,
feeling kindly to Guenther tor his able as
sstaHce on the p0stoiiice committee last
winter in his ugly fight with the Pacific
Mail and the vilest set of lobbyists that
ever collected in one place, will not stand
in his way. There are few men better
skilled in fine Italian methods than Guen-
Their, and his reelection is to be expected.

Vidual losses are comparatively light, but
in the aggregate reach over $1,000, 600,

devastated were among the largest in the
