April Crop Report.
MICHIGAN,
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, !
Lansing, May s, 1895,

Lansing, May s, 1895.
Wheat and grass are making little growth.
April was month of high temperature and
light rainfall. There was not sufficient rain
to be of appreciable benefit anywhere in the
State after the 18th of the month, and be.
fore the 18th the rainfall amounted to less
than one-half of the normal for the month.
The normal rainfall for April, as determined
by observations extending through long
series of years, is, for the State, 2.44 inches.
The average rainfall in the State In April
for FIVE years has been as follows: 1894,
2.2s inches; 1898, 4.4S inches; 1892, 2.1s;
1891, LOS inches, and 1890. 800 inches.
Since May 1, there have been light show
ers in the State, but the average rainfall in
the southern and central counties does not
exceed one-seventh of the normal for the
same period.
The average condition of wheat as esti-
mated by correspondents is as follows, COM
parison being with vitality and growth of
average years: Southern four tiers of coun-
ties, n per cent; central counties, 81 per
cent; northern counties, 80 per cent, and
State, so per cent. One year ago, when
temperature and rainfall were both favor
able during April the average condition in
the southern and central counties was 80. in
the northern 95 and the State 90.
Very little wheat will be plowed up this
year because winter-killed or otherwise de-
stroyed, and very few correspondents men,
ton damage to the crop by insects.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers i'm April is
$40, 226, and In the nine months, August
April, 1910, 541, which is 2,942, 657 bushels
less than reported marketed in the same
months last year. At 80 elevators and mills
from which reports have been received,
there was no wheat marketed during the
month.
Grass, like wheat, is backward because of
the drouth. The meadows are not vet
ruined, but an abundance of rain must
come soon or they will be greatly damaged.
One year ago they were in prime condition.
Apples and peaches promise fairly good
crops. The averages for the southern coun-
ties are, apples "a, and peaches 81 per cent;
central counties. apples 81, and peaches SO
per cent; northern counties, apples OF, and
peaches 81 per cent and State, apples Sc,
and peaches 80 per cent.

Wanted-the Earth.

This creation by Gus j. Heege. of Ole
Olson and Yon Yonson fame, is an humor-
Gus extravaganza peculiarly adapted to
Dillon's inimltable style, with a strong plot
running through the whole, giving the story
sustained interest, aside from the many
laugh-producing changes and situations
which follow each other with lightning like
rapidity. In depicting the fortunes and
misfortunes attending New Jersey farmer,
who, through his association with his sum-
mer boarders from the City, became dssat-
isied with his condition, and attempts to
gain riches, power, social position-fgura-
lively speaking to get the earth; the author
has most successfully sought to give us a
slashing satire upon the many foibles of the
shoddy, mush-room-like aristocracy, so pre-
valent in our American cities, where specu-
lative opportunity and wealth are stepping
stones to co-called greatness.
From the Jersey farm to Wall street, the
action of the play increased in interest until
the final scenes in the Queens restaurant at
Niagara Falls, where DeSmythe John Dill
on) lassos the william and RECEIVERS his
stolen money-the hero and heroine find
their long lost child. and the ''corner on
widows" is busted, keeps the audience in a
continual roar of laughter. At Sallsbury's

Chauncey NJ. Depew in his address before
the students at Ann Arbor last week paid
alis respects to Coins Financial School in
the following forcible manner:
Let me say OF it as my opinion that the
Book is full of lies, illogical argu 1ents, false
promises. false conclusions, absurdities and
taking pictures which by the way are the
best arguments in it. 1t is sold by the
hundreds of thousands of copies and has
converted thousands by its absurd ways of
financial thinking. Unless its influence can
be conteracted 1t will reyOlutionize the
public sentiment Of our country and divide
our parties on false political issues. 1t can
not be whipped out Of the public mind; 1t
came when all was hopelessness and seemed
to offer the way to light. 1t Is fad and
one of the induces of our time. 1t Is for the
universities to overthrow such illogical
falacies of the public mind. From my
standpoint, il Coins financial doctrines
should be adopted, we should come to
dnaacial crises far greater than the one we
have just passed thorough and we should
continue in it until we found our way back
40 sound financial doctrine.

She Did Not Suffer.

Three months before our first child my
wife suffered so from cramps and pains she
could not get In or out of the house without
help, and was often In bed for two or three
days at time. 1 obtained bottle OF

pication pains and cramps ceased. She
continued to use the remedy and suffered
no serious inconvenience until the hour of

little pain--her recovery was rapid and COM

The Chicago Times Herald of Monday
said The Peoples Institute on the west side
was crowded last night, the pulpit being oc-
cuped by Rev. J. II. Reitzel Music was
furnished by the institute Choral Union and
~0rchestra and vocal selections by Mrs Will
Alan T. Grower, Il. X. Smalley aud Miss
Charlotte Cross. Rev. Reitzel, as prelude
10 his sermon, talked on "Pocketbook and
and Poverty" He said:
Our public treasury and the pOcketbooks
~ssf the millions should have the strings man
aged by an economic conscience; a con-
science that also feels the hopefulness OF our
national resources. With our depleted
treasury the ''gold-bug" is burden on the
back of the nation. 1t is not so much
question of gold or silver as it is the sting of
the bug. Our treasury has been at the
smercy of those who control the gold OF the
country. If the public treasury is depleted
by extravaganza or greed, or is 1t at the
mercy OF the gold Speculation, the self-re-
,specting citizen cannot easily make tax-pay-
ing patroit act.
Unfaithfulness in handling public money
should be regarded as treason. Nothing
strikes more deadly blow at public conf
tdence To the individual we say, treat
your pocketbook as sacred-it represents the
eife of the toiler and of his wife, who gives
Ffhe heart cheer; it represents the necessities
A., and fair comforts of lfe--the roof and health
Sfor shelter and cheer to old age. Disregard
ing the sacredness of LIES resources makes
Kite less sacred and starts the grinding pro-
cesses of poverty. 1t does not change the
rresources. but breaks the relation between
ssresources and pocketbooks.

had been standing two weeks in a closet
with the barrel loaded. and found upon
extracting the cartridge to clean the
gun that the lead OF the bullet had all
been eaten away. and poured out Of
the barrel in fine dust With the dust
there came the dried body Of a moth.
and the appearance OF the moth indiCat-
ed that 1t had eaten the lead from the
bullet He showed the moth and the
lead dust TO several friends and all
agreed that everything indicated that
the moth had eaten away the lead. one
OF Mr.. Johnson's friends happened TO
be acquainted with Frank Johnson of
Brooklyn. y. Y, a famous entomologist
and suggested that the moth and lead
horfngs be sent to him for examination
and report This was done and the re
port has been received. MIR. johnson
says the moth was common carpet
moth and that the gun standing against
the wall OF the closet had captured the
moth as it fell from some article of
clothing and the moth being unable
to climb out Of the smooth gun barrel,
had attacked the softest part II could
find. and had gone to work TO bore its
way out. He says that II is the second

FARM LANDS IN DEMAND.
Mechanics Anxious to Leave the Towns
and Go Farming.

ana 10 fArmlnSs
There has been brisk de-
mand during the past for farms
adjacent to the city. says the
New Castle, Pa, Guardian. This, no
doubt, has grown out of the uncer-
tainty of steady employment and the
reduction of wages, occasioned by the
industrial and business depression
which has prevailed. In this city, al
though our industrial establishment Is
have run with remarkable regularity
under the circumstances. there have
been cuts in wages which have made
the man who earns his living by the
use of his hands very uncertain regard
ing the future. His past experience has
taught him that further regular en-
ployment cannot always be looked for
ward to, and the reduction in his earn
ings has caused him more uneasiness
because it makes it more difficult for
him to provide for rainy day" A
reporter dropped into the office of one
Of the leading real estate agents and
during the talk learned that there had
been quite a demand for farms within a
few miles of the central portion of New
Castle. Said the real estate man:
Farm property in Lawrence county
has been in good demand during the
past nine months. There has not been
much enhancement in values of real
estate growing out of this call for such
property as yet. but 1t will undoubtedly
lead to 1t. Not only are there quite a
number of persons who desire to buy
land of this kind. but it is considered
Just at present the best security by
people who have money to loan at in
terest A well-known Lawrence county
man just the other day wanted me to
loan for him 5000 to SIS. 900 on farm
lands. He probably thought ii safer
investment than city property. Country
property is not subject to the fuctua-
tions of New Castle real estate by rea-
son of the fact that in the latter place
the shut downs Of industrial establish
ments have a marked affect on the real
estate market. l know of a number OF
New Castle men who want to buy farm
property adjacent TO the city. one of
these desires to invest So. 900 and an
other 5000. Mechanics in all trades
have been here during the past few
months getting information regarding
farm values. Some Of these. should they
purchase farms, will quit working in
our industrial plants, while others
want their property near town so they
can continue their vocation here"

SUGAR FROM HONOLULU.
Now Being Shipped by Vessel to New
York.


Washington, April 22-Consul Gen
eral Mills at Honolulu, In a communi-
cation to the state department, says:
Sugar is now being shipped direct
to New York from Honolulu. New ar
rangements have been made by the
Western Sugar Refining company for
this purpose. 1t Is estimated the new
deal will divert at least 10000 tons of
sugar from the port of San Francisco
to New York during the present year.
This will cause considerable loss to the
lumber and coal-laden vessels, which
come to Honolulu from the Pacific
coast and heretofore generally secured
a cargo of sugar for San Francisco.
Many vessels left here this year in
ballast, and others had to wait a con-
siderable length of time for a load.
Railroads in the United States will also
lose considerable in freights, as most
of the sugar now being carried around
Cape Horn was conveyed across the
continent Of America by rail. The first
vessel leaving Honolulu for New York,
carrying sugar for the Western COM
pany, was the Kenilworth. and she
cleared on the 5th of March, and had
aboard $3.50 tons. invOiced at 5000, ,423.
The Charmer cleared on the 25th Of
March. carrying 2.91S tons. invoiced at
