weekly weather crop bulletin: The
temperature OF the past week was
above the seasonab.e average and it
was generally dry. The rainfall was
in the form OF light local showers, COW
ering a small area of the state. Re-
ports from the corntields are unusually
variable, being largely colored by local
conditions as to rainfall and condition
of the soil. Late planted corr on

rial damage from the effects of
drought. Early planted corn,
especially on bottom lands is matur-
ing in good shape and much of
it will be ripe enough to cut within a
week. With timely rains to develop
the late planting, this state will prob
ably produce a fair average crop Of
corn. If the weather remains dry and
hot, pushing the crop too rapidly to
maturity, the quantity and quality
will be reduced considerably below the
normal yield. But without another
drop of rain for a month, the aggre.
gate of corn will most likely be more
than double the output OF last year.
Pastures and late potatoes need more

Aberdeen News, 10: The people of
the state, if they desire to embrace it,
will have an opportunity next fall to
wipe out the regents Of education and
various boards Of college trustees.
One Of the proposed constitutional
amendments to be submitted at that
time reads as follows:
The state university, the agricultural
college, the normal schools and all other
educational institutions that may be
sustained either wholly or in part by the
state shall be under the controle OF a
board of five members appointed by the
governor and confirmed by the senate
under such rules and restrictions as the
Legislature shall provide. The legislature
may increase the plumber to nine"
This means that if a majority of the
voters of the state declare for the propo-
sltion, the entire control of the state
educational institutions will thereafter
be vested in one board composed OF
either five or nine persons, under such
rules and restrictions as the legislature
shall provide" The proposed amend.

Nix. CURTIS, in his letters from
Japan to the Chicago Record lays
much stress upon the fact that the
manufacturers Of this country have
neglected the trade OF japan and
missed golden opportunities. There
has been lack of commercial daring
on the part Of the American trader.
This country buys from Japan four
times as much as it sells to it. while
Great Britain sells to that country
four times as much as it buys from
it. When American firms establish
branches and agents in Japanese
cities and become acquainted with
the people thhere will be change.
