continuance until the next term on the
ground that they had very recently

to prepare the case on that line of de-
fense. Judge Stewart refused con-

THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT
IN IMMENSE YIELD OF CORN PROMISED

AN IMMENSE YIELD OF CORN PR0MIsED-r
SPRING WHEAT DECLINES THREE POINTS.
Washington, Aug. 10.-The August crop report 81
the Department Of Agriculture makes the condition of
corn 94s; spring wheat, SIG; spring rye, s5<;
oats, 923; barley o06; buckwheat, o5.2; potatoes
94.3; hay, 945; tobacco, ga
Corn has made an Improvement during the last
month OF IL points, and is now less that point
lover than at the same date last year. The August
return Of condition has not stood UP more than
point higher during the last nine years, and the
present return has been equaed but three times during
that period. Tho improvement is quito generally dis
tributed throughout the country, following favorable
growing weather and sufficient rainfall. In few
States, especially along the Atlantic coast the con-
ditlon has been somewhat reduced from excessive
ranfalls and local floods and overlows. The general
average for the seven surplus States IS 95 against
90 last month and SO for August, 1883
Spring wheat has suffered a further falling of dur.
ing the month, the decline amounting nearly three
points. Condition is nearly three points higher
than In 1887 and above that OF 1885, With these
exceptions it is the lowest since the very small Of
1881. Minnesota records some Improvements since
last report, but In Dakota there IS further decline
from the same causes noted last month. Dakota Is
the largest spring wheat State and the very low
condition there reduces the general average. Tho
quality of the crop will be better than usual especially
In the extreme Northwest.
Rye and barley each decline one point the falling
off being mainly in Nebraska and Dakota. Condition
of oats while two points lower than reported last
month, higher than August of any year since 1885,
In many sections the crop has suffered from heavy
winds and rains about harvest time. and the next
report may show damage from this not yet APP
preciated. Potatoes have maintained their high
dtion of month ago. and now stand one point higher
than at this dato last year. Tobacco has fallen Ok
materially on account of excessive rain
The condition Of cotton IS 1913, an advance OF
nearly two points during the month. Since 1850
this has been exceeded but three times. In
1892, 1885 and 1887. Damage wherever reported
Is attributed to excess OF moisture and conseluent
inability to keep the crop clean. some fear Is
expressed of too heavy a growth Of stalk, rendering
injury Liable should dry weather set IN.
