The last government crop report places
the acreage of winter wheat at only 1 per
cent. below that of last year, with the con-
dltion of the crop on June ! averaging s3.2
per cent, against 8l.4 on May 1. and IS per
cent. year ago. But in such large pro-
ducing states As Kansas the condition is
only 81 and in California go. Spring wheat
acreage is 1872 per cent below last years,
and the condition is placed at IS per cent.
on June /, against So q year ago; the con-
dition being SO in Minnesota. 81 in North
Dakota, 70 in South Dakota and So in Wis

shipping Monaghan Pheasants.

The Aorth,eea Sportsman and Cgelist in
speaking of the Monaghan pheasant says:
There would be no valid reason against
the shipment of q limited number of
Monaghan pheasants from this state to
other states for the purpose of propaga-
ton. providing II was clearly shown that
they were for that purpose.
These birds readily bring $40 pair or
more in the East, and the temptation 10
strong for pct hunters to make business
of their shipment, which would soon rob
this state Of its finest game bird. The
law probably will be changed, as has been
suggested, to allow them TO be shipped for
the purpose of propagation. upon sutfi-
Gent proof being submitted to the game
warden that they are for that purpose.
Il is probable that the frst brood OF the
Monaghan pheasant viii in many places
be destroyed by the high water. On the
iowlands, along the river and creek bot
toms, where they nest, they can hardly
fail TO be- DESTROYED.

The case OF Count Won Kotss high ON
eial OF the German imperial court, who
was recently arrested by order OF the en-
peror, Is Q most extraordinary one.
IL Is asserted that this man, noble OF
high lineage. friend and counsellor OF
the emperor. man OF education and re-
finemsnt Of manners. has for years been in
the habit Of writing scurriIous Anonymous
letters to the people whom he met In daily
intercourse. The letters were written to
scores of people, apparently without other
motive than 70 arouse suspicion and create
dIscord between husbands andawives. pa
rents and children and brothers and sis
ters. Neither jealousy ora desire for
revenge can account for these letters, for
they were sent TO many people, few of
whom could possibly have crossed the
counts path In any manner.
The only reasonable conclusion Is that
Count Won kotz Is the victim of an extra
ordinary form of insanity. and that the
proper manner to deal with him Ia to con-
fine him in an asylum where his oppor-
tunities for writing letters viii be few.
