Synopsis of the Crop Report.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued synopsis of the forthcoming
crop report for the month of September
which has special interest at this time.
The condition of corn is reported as q
points higher than in September of last
year, and has been exceeded onlv
three times in the past ten years. On
we'll cultivated and drained areas the
crop is very heavy. The condition of
wheat is reported as very high. The
general average has only been exceeded
twice since 1879 State averages show
considerable uniformity, only ten fall
ing below 95, and three below 90.
Those showing the highest average are
Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota, each
100; Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania
and South Dakota, each 90; Califor-
mia, Nebraska, Michigan and Onfo
each 98; Maryland, Oregon, Texas,
each 81 Virginia, 95 Missouri and
North Dakota, each "a. In the Mid
die States generally wheat was well
filled, harvested in good condition,
yielding well in threshing. In a few
counties in Pennsylvania and in parts
OF Maryland and Virginia there has
been some injury to the shock. The
Texas crop was unusually fine, har-
vested in May and June, and is now
mostly marketed. In Iowa, Min
nesota, Nebraska and the Dakotas
extreme yields of 80 to 40 bushels are
reported.
The European agent of the Depart
ment reports some improvement in the
weather of Great Britain, which may
tend somewhat to relieve the bad crop
situation there. He reports the quality
of the French wheat the worst for
years, in addition to reduction of guam
tity. He reports a reduction of % ,OOO,-
600 bushels in the French crop during
the past month, and a present prospect
of only 212,000,000 bushels. The Rus
sian ukase fOrbidding the export of rye
sent the price of that grain in Berlin
up to 257 marks NEARLY $12) per ton,
the highest price ever known. Rye
meal has nearly doubled in value.
I The total production of the Austrian
Empire is placed at about 100000
bushels, reduced yield. Italy and
Spain will do somewhat better than
was expected.
The returns of the potato crop, with
local exceptions, as very favorable.
There are, however, indications that
September is likely to develop consid-
cradle damage from blight and rot,
which have appeared in many por-
tons of the New England and Middle
States.
Smyrna times., 1891-09-23

we never thought heaven would be

reminded that he was sick he said ::
"Yes, | IOdS sick at Bro. Smyth's.

soul to-day" And he lUdS not for God

Funeral services were held in the
Church at Pensaukin, Tuesday, August
4th, at $50 o'clock, in charge of Pre-
siding Elder Rev. Milton Relyea. Sew
eral of Bro. LattOmus's ministerial
friends were present and took part in
the services. In the evening, at the
Eighteenth Street church in Pbiladel-
phia, services were conducted by Rev.
G. B. Jones, there being present and
taking part in the services ReVs. Cum
mings, Lame, Harkins, Collins, Haines,
Batten and McBeth. The church
was filled with mourning, sympathiZ-
ing audience, and the speakers were
moved in an unusual manner as they
expressed their appreciation of the
character of the deceased On Wed
nesday, August 9Th, the remains were
taken to Friendship Cemetery, near
Smyrna, Delaware, and after services,
buried.
All my brother, the world is poorer
for incarnated honesty and straight

The well-knOwn humorist, Edgar

ed upon him many years ago by brot h.

tribute to The Century during the COM
