CROP REPORT.

US. Department Of Agriculture, Wealth

week ending April Z, issued by the
West Virginia State Weather Service.
General Summary.-The lack of
sunshine, cool weather, and occasional
frost together with the deficiency in
amount Of rainfall have combined to
rather retard farming operations and
the growth of all forms Of vegetation,
the latter being almost at a standstill.
In some localities, however, farmers
have been more favored and have i'm
proved all opportunities and work has
been pushed accordingly. In some in
stances crops have made a little pro-
gress and have partially recovered from
the effects of the conditions existing
during the previous week. The con-
dition of crops generally is not as sat
isfactory as should be but some farm
ers are still confident that the condi-
tions will materially improve. Plow-
ing and resolving is the order of the
day and much has been accomplished
in those directions.
Cereals and grasses Wheat and oats
are beginning to show a little greer
again. Oats where up we're destroyed
some Of the wheat was affected thi
same way, a few fields of the latte
look brown and bare and some hav,
a yellowish appearance, altogethe
more damage was caused than at frs
anticipated but at the same time som,
improvement is noted. Wheat or
river bottoms looks fairly well. Pillow
ing for corn is about finished in mos
localities. Grass made but little pro
gress during the week but is mostl,
in fair condition. Clover shows bu
little improvement and timothy is no
in any better condition.

Insurance of Live Stock

Insurance of Live Stock.
We often ask the question: rs your
live stock insured"
The average owner says: "yes,
against loss by fire.
Well, that is all right, there is arisk
that they may be burned, and you
will do we'll to protect yourself, but
do You know that it is the very small
est of risks?
The statistics of a live stock insur-
ance company, covering their bust
ness in one city for five years show
that in 700 losses, s were by fire, OPS
from other causes. The risk is IS
times greater.
There is IS times greater risk from
collie than from fire.
There is 5 times greater risk from
broken limbs than from fire.
There is S times greater risk from
loekjaw than from fire.
There is 6 times greater risk from
Pneumonia than from ERE.
There is I6 times greater risk from
unknown causes than fire.
Larger from heart disease and dis
temper.
There is 9 times greater risk from
inflammation of the bowels than from
fire.
The same risk from runaways and
only less from drowning, bind stag
gers, and lightning.
If there is a necessity for FIRE insur-
ance land there is) how much greater
necessity for insurance against other
casualties to which live stock is liable.
Now, these are facts taken from ac-
tual statistics, and 'facts are stubborn
things.

SPRING.

We hail thee, yernal spring!
Gladdest time of all the year,
When the earth in freshness,
Doth smillingly appear.
The willows by the river,
Smiled at the early call,
As they quickly bent to whisper,
Tell it to one and all
That Spring with gentle fingers,
Hath loosened winters seal,
And the growing buds in silver,
Soon their fullness will reveal.
Down by the meadow brook,
Where smiles of March did play,
Are growing sweeter treasures,
For a bright April day.
And on the sunny hill-tops,
Carpeted with living green,
With glowing, upturned faces,
Some dandelions are seen.
In thorny hedge and bush,
And where the grape-yines sprea6
Robin in his merry glee,
Tells of the nest o'erhead.
And from out the hazy dell,
Where the misty shadows creep,
Comes the doves paintive song,
When rosy morn doth peep.
We hail thee, gladstone spring.
For every leaf and flower,
Doth some kindly wisdom show,
Of a loving, creative power.
