Report on tho Condition OF ths crops IN
Several StHtes.
WAsHNGroN, Aug. lZ.-The weather
crop bulletin issued by the Weather
Bureau reports the condition Of the crops
as follows:
New Englund.-Drought severe in CEN
trail and southeastern portions; pastures
suffering, also wells and cisterus very
low. Corn has grown well. Potatoes
promise a large yield, and there is but
little not reported. Tobacco promises an
excellent yield.
New York. The oat and barley har-
vest is progressing favorably, with a
large yield in prospect. Corn growing
fairly well. Potatoes locally damaged
by rot. Severe storm In western coun-
ties inflicted damaged on fruit and
grain.
Pennsylvania - The warm, bright
weather has been partially favorable for
farm work, and has advanced all grow
ing crops. Corn is excallout, Potatoes
are the finest crop for years. Tobacco
cutting continues. Fruit of all kinds
has seldom been as plentiful.
New congratulations have been
most favorable for corn, vine truck and
fruits. Some local damage done by hail
and high winds prostratiug corn.

GERMANY TO SURRENDER.
Fears of Riots VIII Oauss "a Mitigation
Of the Corn Duties.

of the Corn Duties.
BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE government is
preparing for n surrender to n certain
extent on the question Of corn duties.
The clamor has become so overwhelm-
ing that Chancellor Caprivi GIN hardly
maintain himself against it.
IL is said that the Kaiser has referred
tile matter entirely to the Chancellor, to
act in his discretion. Both the Kaiser
and the Chancellor would rather give
Austria and Hungary the exclusive bene-
fit of the German demand for foreign
corn, under the commercial treaty soon
to go into force, and this has been the
chief motive for delay, but the distress
on account Of the high price of bread is
30 great and growing that prolonged
waiting may, it is feared, result in riots
and bloodshed. Hence a probable miti-
CATION of the corn duties within a few
days.
The government itself feels the pressure
OF scarcity, owing to the higher prices
paid for grain for the army, and would
undoubtedly be u larger purchaser of
foreign grain Ht lesser rates should a re-
duction of duties take place.
The report that American farmers are
boarding grain causes no little anxiety
not only in Germany, but in all European
countries, as il is felt that the demand
from America this year will undoubtedly
be large.
Advices from Russia present the situa-
ton in no more favorable light. In AS
t%rnhkan, near the Caspian Sea, several
villages are reported to be almost de-
populated, many of the people having
died of hunger, and others have left for
better favored regions. In Volhynia,
where the Russian manouvres are to be
held, it is said that the commissariat
branch of the army has found that no
supplies can locally be obtained for the
troops, and that all food will have to be
orouRht from u distance.

about SO, 00O,0 900 bushels. Dedu. ting
for seed and consumption 10000 ,060
bushels this will leave $4,000, 600
bushels for export. Of this amount
Manitoba expects to export %, 000, 900
of hard wheat, the finest Canada pro-
duces. Last year the total export of
wheat fren Canada was a little over
$4,000, 900 bushels. The wheat crop
here was nearly 100000 bushels
short Of requirements for seed and
bread in the Dominion, and this
shortage was supplied by large i'm.
portatiOns of United States -four.
The crop of wheat in Canada this
year exceeds anything In the history
of the country. The average yield of
fall wheat per acre this year will be
24.4 bushels. or bushels above the
average in years past. In western
Ontario some fields produced as high
as SIS bushels an acre and 90, "a and IS

CROP INSURANCE.

O. Anu, 22nd the Pioneer Press
Contained an editor ial which we wish
We could publish in full, with refer.
tnce to tirmers state insurance ON
crops. 1t truly says that emo other
interest of equal magnitude would
dream for moment of discarding the
insurance safeguard. No business man
with common prudence would take the
risk of fire that the farmer does with
hal aud tolHadees, md the one Is about
ns sure to cone as the other"
The hard labor, and calculations of
a whole summer, Is swept away in an
hour, we have had sufficient proof of
that year ago in this county. The
insurance of crops has made slow
headway thus far; one reason is that
farmers are TOO willing to take the
chances, hoping for the best. An
other reason, adinsters have made it n
point to settle claims very much below
Whst they agreed to give when the
INSURANCE was effected; this system of
grinding down the farmers has dis
couragcd them, and they sometimes
feel like letting ia Rgs taking care of
themselves.
The trouble Of adjusting justly
would be obyiated if the farmers OF the
entire state would combine together in
. mutual insurance organization such
as many societies do with life insur-
ance. In the midst of the super
ABUNDANCE of this year, quite namber
will suffer want OH account of loss by
hail.
It is estimated that II every acre
of wheat in Minnesota and the two
Dakotas were insured, a rate of q
cents per acre annually would more
than cover all crop losses from storm
and leave a surplus for profit. Sup
pose we doeble that and say, for Min
nesota it would cost cents per acre
it would come light on every farmer.
That would make a certainty for every
farmer in the state without compelling
them to the humiliating position of
receiving aims; and what farmer would
refuse to contribute as much as his
assessment would amount to for the
relief of brother farmer who would
be unfortunate enough to loose his
crops.
If the faraers of Minnesota would
unite together fer movement like this
it would be of infinitely more practical
benefit than chasing the ignis fatuus of
sub treasury or other wild schemes.
