Crops in the West.

The following crop summary WIZ
appear in this weeks issue OF the
Farmers Review: The prolonged
drought, which is almost unprece'
denied in its length and severity,
is beninging to have a very serious
effect upon all the late crops The
spring wheat outlook has been in
no wise improved, and the average
condition of the crop has declined
since July /, when the Farmers
Review said that the probable to.
total wheat yield of the United
! States would not exceed a round
total of APO, 0O0, 900 bushels. The
tenor of the reports indicates that
this estimate will have to he rednc
ed by from 10000, 900 to 100000
bushels. The reports from NebraS-
ka, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Dakota do not indicate an av
erage yield of six bushels to the
acre, with many fields entirely ruin
ed. Corn is reported very uneven
in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
iowa anu 4NtDIdShd, dII'l W INV
looking clean, is in need of rain,
and a shortage in the yield is
threatened. In Minnesota, corn is
looking well. but is beginning to
feel the effect of the drought. The
oat crop will fall short, with a
promise of not to exceed one.halt
an average yield in Wisconsin and
Minnesota, and three tourths of an
average in Illinois, Michigan and
Iowa. With the exception Of Min
nesota, the potato crop is threaten
with failure, few Of the reports
indicate more than one half yield
and i'll many sections Il complct,
failure. The pastures in all the
northwestern States are reported
AS short, and in large sections ruin
ed. In portions of Wisconsin the
cattle are already given feed, ow
ing to an inability 10 obtain sls
tenance in the dried-up pasturnl
lands. The fruit crop of Michigan
Illinois and Wisconsin is very
promising.

road that leads up to Dams Rock, but
l presume it is good, never having

So far as | have seen, and l have
seen all the roads in this county, the
appropriations must be small, or the
men to whom the work is given don't
do it. But if they do not work out the
money they swear it out, and, there

borers are in pursuit of oil, natural

settle the great question whether
there is ony mineral extent of suf

"Cumberland," among the great
