THE CORN CROP.

Was Expected.


Was Expected.
CHICAGO. Oct 2?.-The Fd,,ners' Rcrfep
will say this week that . careful examina-
tion OF the estimates furnished by corre-
spondents reveals the fact that the corn
crop is turning out somewhat better than
was expected. The crop In Michigan and
Wisconsin Is larger than last year. and In
Minnesota and Dakota IS almost as largo.
Other states. especially Kansas snd Me-
braska. show q considerable shortage. In
several counties OF Kansas and Nebraska
corn Is nearly q total failure.
The review gives estimates OF the produce
tion In Illinois. Indiana. Ohio. Kentucky,
Missouri. Kansas, Wisconsin. Michigan,
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota aud the Da-
kotas. and says that after deductins from
the gross product q large percentage OF un-
merchantable corn In the states named Is
S2S 935. .o53 bushels. The condition Of the
crop in the remaining states Is not covered
By the report, but Is estimated al about SIS
per cent. OF the average

sew York's Potato Crop Unft for Use ON
Account Of Rot,

New York's Potato Crop Unflt for Use on
Account Of Rot.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Oct. e7.-The extent Of
the potato rot IN this section Is almost ap-
palling, considering the dependence which
has been placed upon this crop to even up
the farmers balance sheet of the thus far
unfavorable year. Other crops have yielded
poorly and, except in isolated instances, the
fruit crop has been light. Early potatoes
were ruined by the drouth and yielded poor
returns. Tho late crop, however, had
promised we'll. and reports being we'll
founded Of the almost total failure OF the
crop Ia Michigan and other great potato
regions, farmers looked for . fair yield and
remunerative crop. In many cases 1t has
been abandoned, there not being sufficient
number OF sound potatoes to pay for the
labor. Some farmers who ordinarily would
have had hundreds Of bushels TO sell will
have hardly enough for their own use. and
buyers are having loads OF potatoes returned
TO them as not being at for market
