WESTERN CROP PROSPECTS
Lack Of Rain Has Injured the Growing
Grain.
THE CORN CROP NEARLY 1 FAILURE
Some Complaints From South Dakota, But 4
Fair Yield Promlsed-Larss Yield

CINcINSAr, o., July 27.-Thc Price
Current Gays: Throughout nearly all
the grain producing sections of the West
there has been continued lack Of rain the
past week, which has intensified the ap-
prehensions concerning the corn crop
which is already more or less injured
permanently in portions Of Iowa and in
various districts elsewhere. Without re-
lief quickly the splendid promise OF this
crop will be certainly changed and the
yield will be largely cut short.
ut does not appear that the spring
wheat outlook has changed essentially.
Here and there in the Northwest are
complaints, more in South Dakota than
elsewhere, but there Is far from a uni
formity OF Encouraging advices, and con-
sentative observers are still counting on
fairly good yield, little if any below last
year, and decidedly better than many
statements from that region would sug.
gest.
"Tbreshing returns from the states Of
the central West continue to show unex-
pectedly favorable yields, maintaining the
view that the winter wheat productions
will decidedly exceed the general calcu-
lations. The quality is better than ordi-
narily, feature which will eventually
prove favorable to maintenance or i'm
provement OF values, although just at
this time there seems to be nothing
which can do much at inspiring conf
dence in better values in the rear future.
The dry weather has curtailed the hay
crop, cut short pasturage and shortened
the potato crop.
