been lost by failure Of seed 10 grow On
the LIST Of August the condition of the crop
in the southern counties averaged - per
cent, and in the central and northern coun-
ties ~ per cent OF the average condition.
AS in lNS7 and 1856 the crop has suffered by
drouth, though not to the same extent
The average rainfall for July was but
little more than half the normal for 3 years
Since that date the meteorological stations
make a little better showing, but the rain
had been badly distributed and in many To-
calities the crop greatly needs more mois
ture.
In sections in which rains have occurred
the conditions Of corn is above the average
and probably Vi per cent would be "a fair
estimate for this date. \ steady soaking
rain of several days duration is needed
throughout the state
With average weather from now on corn
will ripen from the fifth 10 the fifteenth Of
September.

Unjust Competition.

General Master Workman Powdcrly said
before the Ford investigating committee a
few days ago that the system of imported
contract labor is a most vicious one. The
foreigners who come here under such cir
cumstances are grossly immoral and are
not fair competitors with honest labor. He
said the condition of the workers in the
Pennsylvania mines Is almost indcscrib-
able. The Hungarians and Italians are
without names, but bear tags which are
numbered, and in that way they are identi-
fed. Mr.. Powderly said these ignorant
foreigners live principally upon salt pork
and corn meal, though they steal volumin-
ously from their more intelligent neigh
bors. The general master believes that
violators of the law prohibiting the impor.
tation OF contract labor should be impris-
Oncd as well as fined.
