WEATHER CROP BULLETIN

OF the Kansas Weather Service, I'M
Corporation With the u. s. Signal
Service, for the Week Ending May
1S. 1889.
The average rainfall for the state, this
week is 2.58-two inches and ifty-eight
Notwithstanding desidedly above the nor
NAL.
An excess occurs in Norton, Graham, Ellis,
Rush, Stafford, Pratt, Comanche and in all
counties east of them, eliminating in the
north, in Geary and Pottawatomie, where six
inches and over fell, and in the south in
In Haskell, Gray, Ness and Trego de-,
fciency occurs, while from the west OF
these counties the reports have not yet
reached this Office.
Sixty-three per cent of the rain this week
fell in the north half of the state and thirty
seven per cent in the south half. Since
this weekly service began, March 1887, no
week has eQualled the present for amount
of rainfall, though it was better distributed
over the state during the week ending April
80, 1883.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
While the week has been comparatively
cloudy, yet the temperature has generally
been slightly above the normal, except in
the west, where it was slightly below. On
the 18th it fell decidedly below over tho
whole state.
In the middle and eastern divisions the
weather conditions have proved very favor
able to the crops, and all vegetation has
made vigorous growth. While in localities,
in the western division, the weather has
proved unfavorable to special crops, the
general expression is decidedly encouraging.
The abundant rains IN the northeast coun-
ties have materially enhanced crop pros
poets. The excessive rainfall in the north
ern, central and eastern counties has flied
all streams. In the southwest counties the
continued deficiency in rainfall has affected
the Arkansas river, and, coupled with the
light winds, 10 proving unfavorable to corn
which is also being retarded by the cool,
cloudy weather in Trego and Cove. In the
northeast cut worms are at work. The
chlnch bugs have been numerous, but the
recent heavy rains have dampened their
vaIor. Wheat heading in central counties.
Peach trees promising full crop. Cherries
ripening in south. Clover harvest begun in
Cofey. I. B. JENNINGS,

The Grain Inspection Bin.

The Grain Inspection Bin.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1s.-The state grain
inspection bill has passed the senate and
now goes to the governor. It contains an
emergency clause and will therefore become
law as soon as signed. St. Louis grain
merchants do not look favorably upon the
measure claiming it will work incalculable
injury to the grain trade of this city. By
the. bill only elevators having capacity
over 5000 bushels are regarded as public
elevators and the smaller ones can conduct
their business as they please. One of the
most Objectionable features advanced by
st. Louis grain merchants IS that grain
mixing will be freely INDUCED in. The bill
provides for the appointment of state
grain inspector and takes that work out of
the hands of grain men entirely.

The Presbyterian Conference.
NEW YoRK, May 20-At the session of the
Presbyterian conference Rev. ]. F. Smith
continued his paper on ''Un on Mission
work in the southern church." He prefaced
his remarks by pointing out the necessity
for evangelizing the colored portion of the
population and said that the southern church
recognized that the status of the co,ored
people was the same as that of tho white
people. The negroes, Mr.. Smith said,
look forward to separate African church.
THAT may come about" said the speaker,
'while the question of organic union between
the church in thenorth and in the sout ,
lies in allegiance" We must content our
selves with uniting ON less important ques-
toms.
Judge Samuel Breckenridge of st. Louis
presented q minority report stating that
nothing less than organic union between
both churches would prove satisfactory.
Both reports will be printed.

A Big Combine.

NEW YoRx, May O.-The conference be-
tween the directors of the American meat
company and the trustees of the American
cattle trust was continued. The meeting
was private but enough was learned from
authentic source to warrant the statement
that the alleged deal between the two con-
Germs will be consummated. The arrange
ment dses not, as has been erroneously
stated, contemplate the consolidation of
both concerns and the exchange of $780,
0o0 in securities. The purpose of the con-
ference looks to the formation OF traffic
agreement by which the meat company will
handle the product of the cattle trust max
ing the pecuniary outcome beneficial to
both. The details are still under consider
alton and will in all probability be satisfac-
torily settled before the meeting adjourns.

WAsHNaToS, D. c., May 22.-In response
to resolution of the National Grange at it,
nesting in Topeka, Kan, the statistician
OF the agricultural department has made
up statement of exports of American pro-
ducts. where and to what extent there is
foreign demand for them; what foreign prod.
ucts are imported that might be grown
here.
The result is full of surprises, and VIII
have its influence upon American produce
tion. Europe, the figures say. produces l..
2Oo,O0QC0 bushels of wheat and Imports
only Ia. OOO, 600 bushels. The production Of
wheat in Europe is twice that of all America.
OF the amou,t imported the United States
sends 100000. All Europe imports Of
corn (maize) only about one half as much
as is produced by either of our principal
corn growing states. Of the 68OO0,0O0
bushels sent there by this country England
takes almost all What goes to France could
ing states. Germany takes less. Russia and
Romania grow surplus of corn and all
southern Europe grows enough for home
consumption.
Europe imports over a billion pounds of
rice, none of which goes from the United
States.
Europe grows more potatoes than she
needs, while the United States buys potatoes
of Canada.
Nearly all European states produce enough
butter, some of them to spare. The United
States sends "a ,OOO, 600 pounds to all Europey
which is about all they buy anywhere.
OF cheese there is great demand and the
United States sends lis, 100000 to supply d
deficiency of 100000.
Europe buys 1,85O.OOO 600 pounds of cot
ton, being all that is manufactured there,j
producing none. The United States stands
next to Great Britain in the amount of cots
ton manufactured.
The deficiency in wool in Europe is 78,-
C0O,00O. being slightly more than is pro.
duced here, while the United states buys OF
other countries one fifth of the wool manu-
featured here. The United States imports
Sc, OOO, 900 pounds of wool every year.
Europe produces about as much tobacco
as the United States, and could easily pro-
duce all it uses, but percentage of Ameri-
can tobacco is always wanted becauss it Is
cheap, so Europe buys of US A2,0Oo,OOo
pounds.
The United States exports larger portion
of its product than any other nation, being
about one tenth of it's product in money
value. Yet the articles shipped abroad are
few, being cotton, tobacco, meats, bread
stuffs and cheese.
Of articles imported that might be pro-
duced here sugar takes first place. We now
sell of wheat and flour hardly enough to pay
for the sugar we buy: Flax and hemp
might be largely added to our productions
for expectation. We could sell much more
cheese than we do.
We pay S20,COO,0O0 a year for imported
fruits, a large part of which might be as
ell produced at home.
