Wheat Crop Of Kansas.

TOPEKA, April 9.-Secretary Coburn
of the state board Of agriculture made
public his report on the wheat crop,
topic of foremost interest just now. He
says: ''Of the los counties, 90 report the
present as above so per cent of an aver.
age good condition; sc counties so per
cent or above; 80 counties so per cent or
above; SO counties 80 per cent OF above,
and in 16 counties it Is given as 100 to
10 per cent. Deducting the area which
correspondents now estimate will be
plowed up, there is left full 1000, 600
acres of wheat, and its condition is 1916
per cent of good average; in 1892, when
Kansas produced its great wheat crop Of
more than 20, 700, 600 bushels, the acre
age was S,82O,U00, and condition March
81 was as compared with a normal or
full average, set down at IS per cent. In
no instance does a correspondent allude
to the presence of Hessian fly, chinch
bug or other insect pest.
1.-THE quantity of wheat in the hands
of farmers as estimated by themselves is
about 5,627, 600 bushels, 51.5 per cent of
the quantity reported by assessors one
year before, and of corn 19, 465 900 bush
els, or 81 per cent of the stock in hand
year ago. The quantities of each in the
different counties vary widely, some pos
sessing none to spare or scarcely sufici-
ent for seed and current needs, and 9TH
ers having an abundance and much to
spare.
cit is notable that = large number of
counties reporting highly favorable
wheat conditions are with few excep-
tions among those having the principal
wheat acreage; in other words they are
the counties that usually furnish large
share of the tremendous output Of wheat
for which Kansas is noted, while the less
encouraging reports are in many in
stances from counties with but compare
lively limited wheat acreage and the
surplus product of which really repre-
sents only minor proportion of the
grand total"
The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1894-06-23

Aspecial despatch to The Times
Democrat from Baton Rouge says:
Mr.. Loret is desirons of adding to
the extent of st. Mary parish, and
to that end has introduced a bill
changing the boundary lines of
that parish, together with those of
st. Msttin and Iberia. The object
of the bill is to add to st. Mary a
certain strip Of swamp land which
IL included in the parish Of St
Martin, but cut off entirely from
that parish by the Intervention of
Iberia. The valus of the land is
not considerable, but it is occupi-
ed by MANY swampers and others,
who claim that their affairs would
be benefited and their efforts faci-
litated by annexation to St Mary"
The strip of land referred in the
above should belong to either
Iberia or ST. Mary, we believe
however st. Mary should have
better claim for annexation. It is
the famous Bayou Boutts' section
where q little war occurred q few
years ago that cost this parish
several thousand dollars for the
prosecution of those who we're &C.
cused of having taken Fart In the
war in which seyszal persons
wsre killed. This parish is a,1-
ious to cede that part of our par
ish, which properly belong 10
either 1berss or st. Mary.

LYNCHINGS.

A pfoment Federal official in
Georgia has been collecting the
lynching statistics for group of
four Southern States, including
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and
South Carolina. and hnds that
there were in these States fifty,
three criminal assaults on white
women last year, distributed as
follows: Georgia 81, South Caro-
lima IA, Alabama Is, and Florida
3. The assailants in all CAGES save
two were negroes. OF these cfi-
minals "a were promptly lynched,
l hung by law, while the fate Of
20 was never definitely known, Is
being "lost in the woods" that is.
probably lynched or disposed of,"
making q total OF 49 lynched, l
judicially hung, and tho remand
er escaping. It is probable that
II any of the latter had been
caught lynching would have
promptly followed.
It appears from these figures
that public sentiment in the four
States We have mentioned is, as
Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson
declares, very emphAtically in fs-
vor of lvnching for this crime,
and it would appear also that
Judge Lynch is vigilant and very
fs~ of these crimes by negroes go
unpunished; and finally that the
crime is one largely peculiar to
tho negro. All these circumst-
snoes will tend to prevent any
change Of public sentiment in the
rural districts of the South in the
matter of lynching for certain
crimes.-Times-D Democrat.
