ON the State ofthe Crops In General
Indicate q Season Of Prosperity.

Washington. July 21.-1n the last two
days information regarding the grow
ing corn crop has been received at the
department Of agriculture. There are
indications of a big yield. 1t has been
impossible until now to get an accu-
rate idea of the prospects. The July
reports are therefore of unusual i'm
portance. There are growing in the
United States 100000 acres Of corn.
In many of the leading corn states the
crop Is in splendid condition. Every
where excepting Texas 1t gives en-
couraging promises.
The official method Of the govern
ment for communicating the state Of
growing crops to the public is to take a
basis of 100 as reasonable standard of
excellence. Averages in excess are ex-
ceptionaily good, and averages below
100 become less encouraging the lower
they go. With this explanation the
statements of the officials of the agri-
cultural department become plain to
those outside the board of trade.
AVERAGE CONDITION OF CORN.
The reports just received justify the
following estimates Of the average con-
dition Of the crop in the leading corn
states, which are given alongside the
averages for July, 1895:

BOY LOST IN A WISCONSIN WOOD.
Governor Upham Leading in the
Search for Strayed Lad,

Marshneld, Wis. July 21.-The g.
year-old son Of John Weber of this
city is lost in the woods four miles north
from here. With other children he went
picking berries yesterday and strayed
into the dense forest at noon. Search
by his parents and neighbors living
near was kept up all night and today.
A party Of 300, by the generous offer of
Mrs. Governor Upham, who was in the
city. was taken to the scene by the Up
ham logging train, but.it returned to-
night without finding any trace Of the
boy.
Another party is being organized to-
night. Governor Upham arrived this af-
ternoon and IL taking an active interest
In the matter. All the factories here
agreed to shut down. and 1000 men will
go out In the morning. a bloodhound
at Rhinelander has been telegraphed
fer. The forest Is dense with under
brush and old pine slashings. and It Is
doubtful II the boy will be found alive.

GENERAL CONDITION GOOD.

The condition Of the entire crop
throughout the United States is 756
against 65.S in July. 1895. This is an
encouraging state Of things. Corre-
spondents Of the agricultural depart
ment report with regard to winter
wheat that In Pennsylvania 1t was
much winter killed: that the fly and
rust greatly damaged the crop in Ohio;
both as to quantity and qaulity; that
in Michigan during June the crop i'm
proved, but that 1t has suffered much
from rust. insects and the unfayorable
conditions at the time of seeding last
autumn, so that in some of the heay-
lest wheat counties hardly more than
half crop Is expected: that in Indiana
thrashing discloses the low yield Of 9.3
bushels per acre; that in Kansas, where
a large portion Of the crop has been
harvested, the grain is found to be of
light weight and the quality below ex-
pectations; and that on the Pacific coast
the spring has been very favorable for
wheat.
With regard to spring wheat 1t Is re-
ported that in Minnesota the crop had
a rapid and rusty growth, but that
rust appeared in the middle Of June,
which after all may not do much dam
age II the weather conditions are fav-l
orable. Spring wheat. however, IL in
fair condition. The report will show
the following averages for spring
wheat:

There Is every indication now that the
corn crop of the country will equal the
enormous crop of last year, which was
2,l5l, $4,000 bushels. That was the larg-
est corn crop the United States has pro-
duced for many years. The crop of 1894
had only been 1.2l2 900, 900 bushels. and
1t was but a trifie more in 1893 and 1892.
In 1891 1t reached beyond 10000, 900
bushels. Though Iowa led all the other
corn states in yield last year, harvest
ing over 29S. 900 900 bushels, 1t will prob
ably not do SO this year

WINTER WHEAT PROSPECTS.

The agricultural department is now
able to give some pretty reliable infor-
nation on the winter wheat crop,
though the harvest has not progressed
far enough to enable an accurate esti-
mate Of the yield to be made In some
states thrashing has already been
started, but as rule the harvest is now
in progress and the wheat is still in
the field. The department has pre-
pared statement to be made public
tomorrow which will give the following
averages OF present condition, COM
pared with the condition this time last
year:

For the entire country the present
average Is 92.4 against 1913 in July,
1895.
In Texas there is general complaint of
dry hot weather and hot winds, so that
cornfields are parched. In Indiana, al
though the moisture has been excessive
in some places, the crop has fine con-
dition. Complaints of wet weather are
received also from Iowa and Missouri,
but this does not seem to have had
serious effects. In Illinois the stalks
are reported In fine condition, and are
unusually forward, giving promise of
big and early harvest.

KANSAS THE GREAT CORN STATE.

Kansas. as usual. comes forward as
one of the greatest corn states of the
union. II the dry, hot winds of August
and September do not parch the stalks
this state will produce wonderful
crop. The spring was wet in Kansas.
and corn has had a rapid growth, so
that 1t will be better able to, stand the
hot fall winds that 50 often ruin the
crop.
The extent Of the corn crop of the
United States this year is about 100000
acres less than it was last year. Then
it was s2 100000 acres. In 1894 1t was
only 76,OOO00O. The average acreage in
