SOME CROP FIGURES.
Report of the Statisticiau for the
Department of Agriculture.

According to report Of the Statistician
for the Department of Agriculture the
corn crop of 1921 was the smallest re-
ported in twenty years. and not since 1874
has the aggregate yield been so meager.
From an area of 100000 acres planted
only 81. 800, 600 acres were harvested. the
remainder having been cut for fodder or
abandoned in consequence Of drought
and devastating winds. March l. 1895.
the merchantable corn crop of Illinois on
hand aggregated L.. 209. 500 bushels. val
ued at SOL, 795, 52S, while the unmcrchant-
able footed up 16.912,2 200 bushels, with a
valuation of $i,39T,172 Notwithstanding
the short crop farmers have not marketed
their corn freely. believing il will COM
mand a higher price during the. summer.
Since Jan. l the weather has been severe,
and stock required more feed than during
the corresponding months of the three pre-
vious years.
Wheat in farmers hands at the same
time was estimated at 10000. 900 bushels,
or $4,000, 900 bushels less than last year
at the same time. This exhaustion OF
farm reserve is found in large measure
to be due TO the fact that great quantities
have been fed TO hogs and other stock.
Returns from North and South Dakota
indicate unprecedented exhaustion of last
years crop. correspondents in many coun-
ties reporting not enough on hand for

During 1894 the total production OF
wheat in North America was 5l5. 4SS, 900
bushels. an increase of $4,000. 600 bushels
over that Of 1899. South America pro-
duced 1O4. 0O0, 900 bushels in the same
year. the increasing product being due to
the large extension of the wheat area in
Argentina and Uruguay. Europe produced
nearly 100000 bushels more wheat in
1894 than it did the preceding year. Asia
showed n decrease of $4,000, 900 bushels.

longed for rain does not appear. Many

longed-for rain does not appear. Many
communities in Illinois are lamenting and
predicting disaster unless relief comes in
the shape of rain. Cisterns and wells are
dried up. and streams usually overhowinZ
with the spring floods, run within their
banks far below the usual level. The I'M
softened ground offers no prospect of the
speedy sprouting of the seeds on whose
development depends the yield of the au-
tumn crops. The situation among the
tillers of the soil in Illinois and adjacent
States Is not particularly alarming. but
is sufficient to cause apprehensons if the
dry spell is prolonged. In small urban
centers. where the water supply is derived
from ncighboring natural reservoirs. the
danger of uncomfortable fires is not only
menacing. but in some cases has actually
been experienced.
Chicago correspondent saws: The
comparatively great heat of the past few
days. although probably only temporary.
tends to intensity the anxiety Of farmers
and others who have an interest in the
water supply. Thursday was a very warm
day. uncomfortable so in some places for
the time of year. In Chicago the air was
mild and inviting. the temperature reach
standing at "a degrees at the hour of the
evening observation, both figures about
30 degrees above the normal for the third
decade of the month of March. Spring

reached 80, Kansas City came two ahead
with 81, and in Dodge City and Wichita,
kas.. the inhabitants famed themselves
and kept off the lies. with The mercury
at IS and 80 degrees respectively.
Throughout the central region as far
south as the southern line of Kansas the
temperature ranged from 20 to 30 degrees
above the normal.
Prof Moore, the officer in charge Of the
government weather station at Chicago.
with regard TO the drought, said: cit is
very general and something unusual for
this time of year. which is usually favored
with March gusts and squalls, if nothing
more. There is nothing very serious in
the prospect, however Vegetation is not
far enough advanced TO be much INJURED,
unless the drouth is long continued. 1
think that the month Of April will have
its share of rainfall. / cannot believe
that another dry Year is coming on. Farm
ers have suffered from drouth now for
three years in succession. and il is to be
expected that the law of chance will cause
a little variation the coming year"

A WOMAN.

She wore high hat to the play,
And what did the man behind say?
Well, not what he ought,
If he'd said what he thought:
But he didn't-he just went away.
From the slow moving car, without fear
She got off with her face to the rear.
All who saw her revolve
Made solemn resolve
Not to go and do like her this year.
She made n small bet with n man
On a most satisfactory plan.
No matter which way
Ii went he had to pay.
80 now she has got new fan.
She never had learned how to cook
But she studied receipts from a book
Her first lemon pie
Delighted the eye.
But the crust Of il cut like caOutchouc.
She got to the theater late.
For her pa and her ma had to wait
While she stood at the glass
For an hour. alas.
10 see if her hat was on straight
But we love her in spite of all this,
For she sweetcns our dull life with bliss
She is tender and true
When troubles pursue.
And our woes vanish all at her kiss.

FIRE COSTS THREE LIVES.
A Sick Woman Rescued with Diff

Die.

Pittsburg, Pa, April pa frame

east end and occupied by Samuel Weaver
and family was burned last night Weay-
er was very i'll with typhoid fever and
was known to have persisted, but this
morning the body of Frederick Snyder,
son of the owner, and Weaver's were re
covered from the ruins. nurse who
was attending Mr.. Weaver is also miss
ing, while Mrs. Weaver is in a critical
condition from burns and fright. The
fire started in an adjoining house and
soon communicated to the Snyder build
ing.
Mrs Weaver is the mother Of two
days old baby and she and child were
rescued with great difficulty A number
of men ran to the rescue of Weaver a.id
Carried him part way out, when they
laid him on a cot and continued their
journey. The man who was at the head
Of the cot was walking Backward. The
space was cramped and the man was
forced against Il table on which 81 lamp
was burning. The lamp. was thrown to
the floor, setting fire to the carpet At
this instant the outside porch which was
burning gave way and swung against a
door The door fell In and q mass of
burning wood followed it. some Of it fall

hina. The cot could not be removed and
the rescuers were forced TO leave the
invalid and run for their own safety.
Tile fate of young Snyder and the nurse
was not known until this morning. Ihe
loss was about $4,000.
The body of William Mitchell, aged 81,
the male nurse attending Mr.. weaver,

that he was IN communication with the
Hoyas. Mr.. Eust;s has verbally and in
writing communicated his instructions to
the French minister of foreign affairs, but
the latter has not yet replied to these
communications.
The foregoing would indicate that the
United States government has received
from Madagascar the report of the Unit
ed States consul there in regard to Mr..
Walters case, and that the conclusions
drawn from it justify such intervention
and that it will possibly result in a fresh
joint inquiry.

Additional Details Regarding the Schintz
Failure at Appleton.

Appleton, Wis, April 25.-The failure
of Louis Schintz, a real estate dealer,
which occurred late Wednesday after
noon, takes on more serious aspect as
the details become known. His liabili-
ties are $4,000 and assets $4,000. His
creditors are almost entirely members of
the st. Joseph congregation, who had en-
trusted him with their little savings in
amounts ranging from 800 to $500.
Many Of them are old and helpless and
will be rendered paupers by their loss.
Schintz was prominent in Catholic So
ciety circles and he used his influence in
this direction in a business way. Among
his largest creditors is Father Richards
of st. Joseph's church, who had $4,000
placed. 1t is alleged that Archbishop
KatZer's private secretary is a creditor
for a like amount. Notes given by
Schintz for money entrusted to him are
alleged to provide that the money be in
vested in frst-class real estate security.
The bulk of the money appears to have
been lost in Colorado mining speculations
COnsidera bic Indignation prevails over
the failure and there is talk of prosecu-
ton for breach of trust. Prominent
Catholics and members of the same socie-
ties as Schintz declared today 'To call
Schintz's action a breach of trust is put
ting it very charitably." Schintz is much
shaken by the failure, and being of fral
health the result may be serious.
