SEND WHEAT TO CANADA,

Ten Carloads of Red Winter Go
Across the Boundary Line.
4 dispatch from Montreal says that the
initial Importation of wheat from the
United States into Canada has been
made James Carruthers is the importer
and the amount brought is ten ears. 1t
is from Detroit, and of course red winter.
Mr. Carruthcrs says the wheat will be
consumed by Ontario millcrs. Now that
it has been pretty well demonstrated that
the United States wheat can pay the duty
of Il cents n bushel and sell in the same
market with the Ontario product. dealers
are inclined to believe the prices for the
latter have reached the top unless the
United States market shows material ad-
vances. AS high as 50 cents has been
paid for Ontario red winter wheat re-

fact that the records of the Treasury De-

has ever been made on the States for the
repayment of this money. 1t seems to be-
the general opinion that an act of Con-
gress would be necessary before steps
could be taken to compel a repayment.
but whether such an act will be passed
by Congress is extremely doubtful in view
of the fact that the representatives of
twenty-six States in both houses would
be interested in it's defeat.

SERIOUS.
Chez ring Reports from Fifteen West

Punched by the Cold-Slight Injury

Severe Fall In Tenn perature.

Severe Fall In Temperature.
Reports from throughout the Northwest
indicate severe damage to small fruits
and vegetable crops in almost every Sec
ton by the frost Of Saturday night. The
grain crops, however, are reported safe.
Wheat and oats escaped uninjured, be-
cause neither had begun to joint and
where cut down by the frost or heavy
rains will sprout again. Corn was slight
ly nipp9d by the cold in a few States. but
not enough to occasion the slightest
alarm that the yield will be affected to
any noticeable extent. In general way
this states the condition of the three great
staples in the Mississippi valley. There
is no longer any ground for a scare in the
face Of these facts. On the contrary, the
outlook is said to be better than it was
May /, when it was unusually promising.
On the whole, the news from the fifteen
States visited by the frost is Of a cheer
ing nature.
Illinois Jared best of all the States. Sec
rotary Garrard, of the State Board of Ag-
ricuiture, attributes the death Of millions
of chinch bugs to the heavy rains, and
says the ground needed just such an
amount of moisture to make the future
of the crops more promising. From but
two points in the State have the signal
service officers received reports Of dam
age by the sudden fall in the temperature.
Wisconsin dispatches show that con-
siderable harm has been done to small
fruits and gardens. North of Green Bay
the frost worked the greatest damage.
Baraboo and Boscobel will send few
Strawberries to market, and Pine River
will have shortage on potatoes and
corn. The southern and western portions
of the State escaped the blight. and in
no part of the State has any damage TO
wheat, oats or corn been reported.
Some Damage to Fruit.
Fears are expressed that there has been
much injury inflicted upon the fruit re-
gion of Michigan. especially on the high
lands. A stiff wind saved the peaches,
apples and strawberries along the lake
shore. and the warm weather had pushed
fruit so rapidly that it was hardy enough
to withstand the frost in most sections.
Vegetables and garden truck growing in
the interior of the State were badly hurt.
Farmers believe the spring wheat and
corn are all right
From Iowa comes the assurance that
both winter and spring wheat. corn and
oats are generally safe. While corn was
killed back to the ground, it will grow
again. Discouraging reports come from
a'l over the State. however. on the cond-
ton of fruits and vegetables. and in this
respect Iowa has probably been the worst
injured of all the States.
Minneapolis cereals are reported safe,
but corn, vegetables and small fruits
were greatly damaged. Kansas escaped
the frost except in the southern portion
of the State, where some damage was
done to fruits. Missouri and Indiana
were not affected by the frost in the least

of $500 for each failure of railway com
