CROP CONDITIONS.

h m Review the
Situation For the Week.
CHICAGO, Aug. @.-The following is the
crop summary, according to the Farmers
EerieW: "While the general condition Of
the corn crop of the country is considered
good it has been widely published that in
Kansas very serious damage has been
done to the corn by hot winds; that these
reports have been authentic is c~orrobo.ated
by our correspondents, a Of
which shows the condition of the corn crop
in Kansas to be about 20 per cent. Of an
average, which is much lower than that in
any other corn growing States reporting
this week. But the corn is not in bad con-
dition in all parts of Kansas. In Bourbon
County, for instance, the condition is
placed az 10 per cent; in Douglass, at l0j
per cent, and in Woodson and Anderson
Counties at 100 per cent. The worst report
comes from Rush County. where the con-
ditiOn is estimated at only 10per cent. of an
average. In Sedgwick County the cOn-
dition is placed ut q per cent. of an
average, and in Cherokee at 81 per
cent Corn in other counties ranges in
condition from 80 to 80 per cent. of an aver
g As ain have recently fallen in
Kansas it is reasonable to expect that ma
terial changes for the better will cOnse-
quently be noted in the condition of the
corn crop there. The condition of corn in
other States is comparatively satisfactory.
Most Of the crop will be out Of the way Of
frost in good time, but farmers are afraid
that 4 few fields which had to be planted
a second time, or even a third time, on
account of cut worms, will be caught should
frost come early. Our reports from
Washington County, MIMI, state that the
corn crop there will be a failure if frOsts
before September ~. Illinois and
Indiana head the list in the condition Of
the corn crop, both placing the average at
104 per cent. Ohio comes next with an
average Of los per cent. Then comes Wis !
consin with an average condition Of 1929 :
per cent. the rest reporting as follows:
.! per cent; Missouri, % per
cent; Nebraska. .2a per cent; Dakota,

Andrew W. Kay. a ship chandler. said
he is q Nova Scotian. and said that he has
assisted his fathers, q man named
Evans. and another named Miller, to get
their naturalization papers. After q

Of the committee, testimony was elected
corroborating the statement OF the pre-

Witness admitted hat he knew a man
named Palmer. and had aided him to get
naturalzed. Witness vas quite uncom-
Portable when Palmsr's name was men,

ing evidence against himself. He admit

court that he had known Palmer to be a
worthy man for five years when ne had
never met him. A man named Baylis got
ten dollars for securing Paimcr's nat

with a deputy sheriff named Ross. After
q good deal Of beating about the bush. the
witness finally said that he had been paid

DEATH DEALERS.

The Unusual Activity shown by Inventors
Of Dynamite Death Dealing DE vices-The
Zallnskl and Gr2ydOn Guns-A New Dyn-
amite Monitor.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-UnuSual activ.
ity has been shown by inventors this
session to convince Congress of the
a~daptability Of high explosives to tho
practical uses Of war, and several i'm
provements in destructive agencies and
implements of warfare have been brought
to tho attention of the military and naS!A
committees of both houses during the
session. As q result there are generous
appropriations, a~ggregating nearly three
quarters Of a million. in tbs Army and
Navy bills for experiments with dynamite
shells, aerial tOrpedOes aNd the making
OF air guns for hurting those torpedOes.
Among these inventions is what is
known as the Zalinski gun and the aerial
torpedo thrOwer". tho latter the inven-
ton of Lieutenant ]. W. GraydOn. late of
the United States Navy. The Zalinski
gun throws six hundred pounds Of dyna-
mite about a mile and a hale from an air
n about sixty feet in length. while
GraydOn, by greatly increased air
pressure secures greater range. with air
guns thirty or thirty-fiv feet long.
The new cruiser "Vesuvius" is to be
armed with two Of the Zalinski guns,
placed well forward and parallel to each
other, side be side, and fixed rigidly at
an angle of sixteen degrees. They are to
be trained or sighted by changing the
course Of the vessel.
GraydOn's shOrter gun it ia proposed to
use on what is known AS Admiral Amon's
four of these twenty-one inch tor.
pedO-thrOwers to form part Of the arma.
ment Of this powerful engine OF war. two
mounted on turtle back ~turrets, fore and
aft. These gun Ear be elevated and de.
and trained like any piece Of
ordnance. and with them it is proposed to
hurl enormous t~orpedOes containing
I 200 pounds of dynamite at least two
lies.
The House committee on naval affairs
also have before them an original design
FOR a pneumatic dynamite monitor, the
Of Representative Thomas, OF
Illinois. with water ballast so arranged
the vessel may be sunk when ready
