The estimate for the present year is over
8. SOC. 600 bushels. Rural New Yorker
calls attention 10 a curious fact brought
out from a study Of the crop production
by states.
In 1850 the states Of Virginia, Penn
sylvania. Ohio, New York and New
Jersey produced 50 per cent. Of the en-
tire crop, with Pennsylvania far in the
lead. In 1860 Michigan, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, New York and Indiana produced
so per cent. with Pennsylvania but a
few thousand bushels ahead of Ohio.
In 1870 the same states produced 50 per
cent, Pennsylvania still ahead. In 1889
the states of Illinois, Indiana. Michigan,
New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio and Wis
consin produced nearly 30 per cent Of
the crop. with Ohio in the lead. closely
followed by Michigan. At the present
time Michigan leads. and the crop is be-
coming more and more popular In that
state. Clover seed seems to follow wheat
towards the north and west The
southern counties of Michigan are giving
place in the production Of this staple to
/ the more northern counties where farms
have been cleared out Of the pine forests.
In fact. it Is believed by many that
clover seed viii prove one Of the most
profitable crops for these stump farms,
where "wheat. clover. sheep and wool
are TO bring the cash. The damage done
by the clover midge is great. A remedy
that appears to have given satisfaction
according to the authority quoted, con-
sists in running the mower through the
field about the middle of May, leaving
the product on the ground as mulch.
A vigorous crop Of blossoms viii develop
after this. This comes between two
broods of the ulidge and thus escapes
attack.

Ditched.

The passenger train going West
Tuesday night was wrecked at ll:3O
o'clock, about two miles north of Ben
son, on 20 foot grade. The engine
went down the embankment twenty
feet, turning completely over. The
mail car also jumped the track and
swung around cross ways on it. The
mail car was not damaged, but the
engine was badly wrecked. Nobody
was hurt.
The wreck was caused by
the removal of four bolts
from the fish plate, pulling
seven spikes from beside a rail and
two curve-braces. AS soon as the
engine struck the loosened rail the
track spread, and it went down the
embankment, turning completely over
The tracks of the Williams who did the
dastardly work, were plainly seen,
leading up and down the embankment
to telegraph pole, where horses had
been tied. Whoever it may have
been, they had evidently planned the
deed previous to undertaking its ex
ecution, as they had broken open the
Toulouse at Benson and taken 8
claw-bar, with which the spikes were
pulled and which was left at the
wreck and picked ap by the train
men at the bottom of the embank
ment.
No person was seen by the train
men or passengers in the vicinity Of
the wreck, and it is presumed that il
the intention was to ditch the train
for the purpose of robbery, those who
planned it lost their nerve when the
time for action came.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered
by the railroad company for the ar
rest and conviction of the person OIL
persons who caused the wreck.

you, give her a serenade some evening. The
