Samples of the growing winter wheat
plant, literally alive with the larvae Of
the Hessian fly, were exhibited on Change
in Chicago Thursday. The effect on even
the most radical bear was impressive,
while the bull had fair chance to put in
an II told you So" The wheat exhibited
was plucked from fields in Indiana by H.
Kerlin and William Danlin, of Delphi.
Said Mr.. Kerlin: 1--WE feel it Is simple
justice to the farmer that the people who
deal in the commodities may be given a
chance to see the actual state the wheat
Is in. We have been travelling with a
horse and carriage along the line of the
Wabash Railway from Lafayette to Lo-
gansport, talking with the farmers and
looking at the fields. Ask farmer how
his wheat is and he will tell you that 1t is
looking very bad. Ask him what the mat
ter is and he will say: 4 guess it is the
drought In every such case on exam
lining the stalks and roots they were found
to contain from one to twenty of the Hes
sian fly larvae.
"There was good stand of wheat ev-
erywhere, but when once we became IA
miliar with the fly germs we could tell a
field affected as far as we could see it.
The larvae were laid by the flies last fall.
That is not an uncommon thing, but the
dry weather ever since has been particu-
larly propitious to the perpetuity of the
germs. The farmer is just finding out
what the real cause of the trouble is. One
feature is to be noted-namely: That the
pest can spread no further because 1t is
terminated only in the fall. That is to
say, it cannot affect wheat in which 1t is

ION, ito the necessity for the foregoing

Of money are spent by the Government in
ornaments, ironclads and other military

would be good thing if more were spent

DIR. E. III. Woolsey, of California, made

disease was carried by paper money, the

next year should inquire fully into this
important subject.

Snow In Places.

Jack Frost again swooped down on the
fruit trees of Southern Michigan, Ohio,
Indiana and Wisconsin early Tuesday
morning and blighted almost the entire
crop. The frosts of Saturday and Sunday
nights began the destruction. Tuesday
the young leaves turned black and the
blossoms withered. Few districts escap-
ed. Reports of damage are conflicting,
but 1t Is calculated only one-fourth of the
fruit crop will be saved. From fifteen
States Professor Moore, the weather
watcher in Chicago, received kilograms
reporting the condition of crops and the
general influence Of the weather on the
cultivation and growth, of all cereals dur
!. ing the week. The reports set forth that
the cool wave, which overspread nearly
the whole of the country east of the
Rocky Mountains, had proved very un-
favorable to growing crops, and that
much injury had resulted from frosts in
northern attitudes. In the Western States
the reports state that during the early
part of the week the crops were doing
splendidly but the frost of Saturday
and Sunday nights had proved disastrous.
Some of the States were suffering from
drought, notably Ohio and Illinois. In
the eastern part of Ohio wheat, corn, po-
tatoes and fruit were seriously injured.
The reports in general were cheering con-
cerning the condition of wheat, oats and
barley. But fruit, corn and vegetables
have suffered.
The following readings of the thermOm-
eter, taken al q o'clock Tuesday morning,
best tell the tale of the frigid waves visit:

Is from Detroit, and of course red winter.
Mr.. Carruthers says the wheat will be
consumed by Ontario millers. Now that
1t has been pretty well demonstrated that
the United States wheat can pay the duty
of Is cents 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-
Gently and 80 cents for hard Manitoba
wheat at Fort William. 1t is probable
that further importations will be made
and If they reach hundreds of thousands
of bushels, the expectations of many Mon
treal traders will be realized

could be taken to compel repayment,
but whether such an act will be passed
by Congress is extremely doubtful in view
of the fact that the representatives OF

THE COST OF MISSIONS.
Facts Brought Ont at the Southern
Baptist Convention.

Facts Brought Ont at the Southern
Baptist Convention.
At the Southern Baptist convention held
in Washington, G.. A. Nunnelly, of Mem
phis, presented report recommending
the establishment of a permanent building
board, to have general charge Of the erec-
tion of church edifices within the territory
of the Southern convention. The report
showed that, although there were now
over 10000 Baptist churches in the South,
there were 1900 homeless congregations.
Most of them were in the Southwest. In
Texas alone there were 1000 Baptist
churches without shelter. The report also
stated that there were in the South TO-
100000 people without the gospel, and
that 1000 missionaries were needed with
in the territory of the convention. DIR.
Tichenor, secretary of the Home Mission
Board, opposed the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
that board, which had heretofore had
charge of the work of aiding in the con-
struction Of churches. The report was re-
.jected-30 to 155.
j. j. Taylor, of Mobile, Ala, treasurer
of the Foreign Missionary Board, report
ed the apportionment of the levy for the
foreign mission work Of the ensuing year.
1t aggregated $15OO0O, distributed as fol-
lows: Alabama, $10,S0O; Arkansas, So
600; District of Columbia, 81, 200; Florida,
81, 800; Georgia, $4,000; Kentucky, $751;
600; Louisiana, $2,4O0; Maryland, $13,-
200; Mississippi, $4,000; South Carolina,
$1,000; North Carolina, $1,000; Missouri.
$4,000; Tennessee, $4,000; Texas, $15.-
600; Virginia, $21, 900, and Western Ar
kansas and Indian territory, 5000. The
report was adopted, after which the con-
ventiOn resumed the consideration of the
report on pagan fields. Rev. II. III. Graves,
for thirty years n missionary residing at
Canton, China, in discussing the report,
urged eloqnently aggressive work in
China. The result of the Japanese-C Chin
ese war; he said, would be to open China
to modern thought and enlightenment, and
now was the time for Christianity to
strike. He spoke of the inadequacy of the
money expended by the church in foreign
mission work. and suggested that ut each
communion service every church member
give FIVE cents TO carry the news of the
gospel to the heathen. DIR. Willingham,
secretary OF the foreign board, said that
during the fifty years of the existence of
the convention it had contributed over ST.
100000 and 80 missionaries to work in
foreign fields The report was adopted,
as was the report of the treasurer of the
home mission board, presented by Rev.
Yeatman, of Washington, which showed
a marked Improvement in the financial
condition during the past year.

Reports from throughout the Northwest

of the State escaped the blight, and IN
no part Of the Staterhas any damage to

Some Damage to Fruit.
Fears are expressed that there has been
much injury inflicted upon the fruit re-
gion of Michigan, especially on the bigh-
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
10 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 a furance that
both winter and spring WI Rt, corn and
oats are generally~saf w lie corn was
killed back to the ground, Vt will grow

all over the State, however, on the condi-
tion of fruits and vegetables, and in this
respect Iowa has probably been the worst
injured of all the~S 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.
