CROP BULLETIN.
Illinois Winter Wheat Practically De-

Illinois winter Wheat fractlcalIy De-
stroyed-outlook In New York.
Springfield Qll.) dispatch: The June
crop bulletin OF the State Department of
Agriculture confirms previous reports as
to the condition OF winter wheat. The
crop is practically destroyed. Corn and
nearly all other field products promise
well.
New York dispatch: The State
meteorological bureau has issued a re-
port which says: "In the central and
northern counties tho cessation Of
heavy rains has been OF great benefit to
vegetation, and the outlook for spring
grain and garden vegetables has
become more favorable. The tenn
perature during tho week has been too
low, however, for the best growing
weather. Through the Southern and
Southwestern tier of counties, and those
along the Upper Genesee river, the con-
ditions have changed but little during
the week; vigorous growth OF grass,
wheat and rye obtains on the uplands,
while along the water courses great To-
cal damage to crops has been sustained.
Several stations in the region Of heavy
rainfall report that grass is turning yellow
and has tendency toward a spindling
growth; but generally throughout the
State this crop is very vigorous The
fruits have developed well during the
week. The apple crop is exceedingly
good in the western counties, and about
an average yield for the State may be
expected. Strawberries, grapes and
small fruits have improved during the
week and promise well.

vast building was crowded and many OF
the distinguished men OF the city and

ject OF the popular orator was 'The
Worlds Fair" and he did ample justice
to it.
When the prolonged applause with
which the distinguished guest OF the
Press Club was greeted had ceased that
gentleman advanced step or two
saearor tha faoilights, as IL to DO In
closer communion with his auditors,
and began his ''talk" with no further
prelIminarles than TO explain that he

pecting to face such an audience as he
saw before him. Possibly he had just
a tinge of ''stage fright" for his first
few sentences were uttered in voice
which hardly penetrated to the depths
of the great hall. But his voice seemed
to strengthen as he progressed, and he
soon had everybody en- rapport with
him. 1t was soon evident that he was
prepared to furnish an oratorical feast,
and he did it. His remarks were fire.
quently interrupted by applause, which
at times was extremely enthusiastic.
Speaking of the benefits to be de-
