Chicago, June 27.-Tho following crop
summary will appear in tAis weeks Issue
Of the Farmers Revisv. The harvesting Of
wheat has been concluded in Tennessee,
Kentucky aud Missouri. In the former
two States continuous wet weather delayed
the gathering Of grain In some sections
and caused some damage both before
reaping and while In stack. In Fayette
and Lexington counties, Kentucky, whole
fields arc reported to have been ruined by
black rust and In FayettA the reports In
diCate that fully one half OF the crop was
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 thai In nearly every
portion Of Missouri farmers were unus.
ually successful in harvesting wheat, the
average yield Is placed as high aa II to %
bushels to the acre in st. Clair, Pickering,
Charlton aud Scott counties. Indications
are that the entire acreage for the State
will be unusually high.
Harvesting Is sstill progressingln Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio under fairly favorable
condition, though scattering reports OF
rain and rust are made, but not such as TO
any Widespread damage. Rains
prevailed over large areas Of Dakota, i'm
proving the general outlook for apring

average.
The reports still indicate that the gon.
eral average throughout the territory OF

fifteen percent before the drouth was bro

week indicates that not to exceed one.hali |

ports show that the crop was shortened

The refusal OF the Senate Committee to
investigate the bribery charges against

The Senate ought 10 be willing to enter
upon this inquiry. To say that 1t is not is
to put blot upon itself, The country

Senate, which cannot have the public re-

A suARP TRIoK.
Mexican Sheep with WOOl On Brought Into
this County,


WAsHINGToS, D, o., June 26.-The Col.
lector Of Customs at Corpus Christi, Texas,
has made a report to the Treasury Depart,
ment in regard to the practice INDUCED in
by importers in that district OF importing
sheep with the wool on, just prior to or
during the sheariDg season. by this
method the importers either obtain the
wool without payment Of any duty, as in
cases where the sheep are admitted TO free
entry for breeding purposes, or pay but a
small percentage OF the duty on wool in
cases where the animals are subjected to
duty Rs such at the rate Of twenty percent
ad valorem. The Collector shows that
out Of total Of S2,S44 sheep imported
from January to March 81 last, 80, l44
were admitted FREQ Of duty for breeding
purposes.
Acting Secretary Fairchid has instruct.
ed the Collector that, where parties make
claim TO enter animals for breeding pur.
poses q very careful investigation should
be made, in order to see that breeding Is
the special object Of the importation, and
when satisfied that such ia not the case
duties should be assessed accordingly.
