The fact that the present governor gen

most incredible is that pressure is brought
to bear to compel Poles to subscribe to the
scheme for honoring the man who slaugh-

insult, although it will serve to keep alive
in Poland the sentiment of nationality

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE August re
turn to the statistician of the department
of agriculture make the condition of corn
9O.s; spring wheat, 95.5; spring rye, 500;
oats, s9.5; barley, 93.s; buckwheat, 970S;
potatoes, 965; tobacco, IS 5; hay, 900.
Corn has fallen off . points during the
month, the decline being almost entirely
in the states of the Ohio valley and the
northwest. The decline was due to dry
weather, approaching drought in portions
of Indiana and Illinois, and low tempera-
ture in all sections of the non surplus dis
tricts.
A Grave Danger Suggested.
There was sufficient rainfall in Kansas
and Nebraska, with some local excuses,
and the month was fairly favorable not
withstanding low temperatures. East of
the Allegheny mountains and in the south
conditions We're favorable and state aver
ages advanced. The crop continues late
in most sections. the result of the poor
start and absence of hot, forcing weather
during July. Unless August should prove
unusually favorable, aid the season be a
long one, there is grave danger that the
crop may not mature properly.
Averages in the Principal states.
In the surplus states the averages are:
Ohio, So; Indiana. IS; Illinois. IS; Iowa, 90;
Missouri, 81; Kansas, IS; Nebraska, 81
The wheat returns relate to spring wheat
only, the average for the whole breadth
advancing somewhat during the month.
The improvement is general except in
Washington, where hot winds injured the
prospect in some districts and the state
returns outside of this state and Wiscon-
sin closely approach the standard for com
parison. Principal states are: Wiscon-
sin, %; Minnesota; 9s; Iowa, %; Nebraska,
81; North Dakota, 90; South Dakota. 9s;
Washington, 90
Medium Yield of Oats.
Oats have improved two points during
the month, and the figures of condition
indicate medium yield per acre The
blight which ruined the crop last year and
was feared again at the date of the July
report has appeared in but a few isolated
localities The weather at the close OF the
growing season during harvest was gen
orally favorable, and late growth was suf-
ficient to largely offset the poor start and
deficient stand. The cool weather which
retarded corn growth in the Ohio and 3, p
per Mississippi valleys was favorable to
this cereal. \ great crop of potatoes is
indicated.
