LARGE CROPS ASSURED.
Believed that Wheat will Go 4O5,-
100000 and Corn $780,
100000 Bushels.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 80. - The August
crop report Of Orange Judd Farmer states
that the condition of corn has been main.
tanned during the past month, standing
now 949, and with normal weather condi-
tons for next six weeks indicates a posi-.
BILE crop exceeding 250O00.O00 bushels.
Drouth and to a limited extent hot winds,
rust and smut contributed to reduce the
condition of spring wheat by Sc points,
the present average being SIS. The de.
cline in principal states is as follows:
Minnesota, 3 points; North Dakota, )
points; South Dakota, points, and
Washington, 10 points. Present condl-
ton indicates a crop of about 165, 100000
bushels, of which 12O,0OO,OO0 is in Minne>
sofa and the Dakotas. Present indica-
tons point to a total wheat yield of 4O5,,
100000 bushels, or 100000 less than q
month ago.
Chicago, ILL.,, July 80. - The Illinois
weather crop bulletin says that the gener,
al and heavy showers of the past week,
together with the temperature slightly be-
low the normal. have proven highly bene,
fetal to growing crops. Severe storms
occurred in the Illinois river and north
west counties on Friday, but while great
damage was done, it is not irreparable.
The water famine has been generally re-
lieved and springs, wells and streams are
filling. Pastures, late potatoes, gardens,
millet and fodder crops are doing well,
and late potatoes promise good yield.
Corn has made marvellous growth, with
a large crop practically assured. There
has been some damage done to wheat in
the shock by smut. Fall blowing has
been started with the ground fine and mel
low Fruit, is exceedingly plentiful in all
crop in northern counties. Trees are
bending under the load of fruit and early
markets are glutted.
Des Moines, Ia, July Bottle aver
age temperature of the past week was
about normal. Nearly all sections of
the state have had sufficient rainfall for
present needs and considerable damage
has been caused by severe local storms,
accompanied by wind and hail
On the whole, however, the week has
been highly favorable for the growing
crops, and for harvesting and threshing
the ripened small grain. The oats har-
vest is about completed and threshing is
in progress, with many reports of phe-
nomenally heavy yields. The cutting OF
spring wheat is in progress and some
early fields of fax are ready for har-
VeSting.
Corn is steadily maintaining it's lead
and bids fair to break all previous rec
ords in the districts where the rainfall
has been ample Potatoes and the minor
crops are doing well.
Columbia, Mo-, July 30.-Except in por-
tons of the eastern sections the weather
during the past week was much more IA
vorable to the farmer than for some weeks
previous. In many of the northeastern,
east central and southeastern counties
the weather continued damp and shOwery,
and harvest and haying have progressed
very slowly Further damage has been
done to grain in shock and corn and cot
ton are being injured in some localities
by too much rain Over the balance of
the state. threshing, stacking and haying
has progressed rapidly under favorable
conditions and this work is now nearing
completion.
Oats have yielded well, as a rule, but
in many counties have been damaged by
wet weather. Corn continues in excellent
condition generally. Flax is about al
cut and is a good crop. Hay on the whole
is better than expected. Sorghum, mil
let, tobacco, late potatoes and garden
vegetables are generally doing WELL
