CROPS WILL BE LARGE.
So Says Charles N. Robinson, Who
Ought to Know.

Charles N Robinson. of the Bardwell-Rob-
tnson company, returned this morning from
trip through the farming country Of Min
neSota and Dakota, during which he made it
a point to look thoroughly into the crop
conditions, even to the extent of taking wa
gon drives many miles off the main lines at
various points. He gives it as his opinion
that nothing can prevent an enormous crop
this year.
There will be only one trouble" he said.
and that is that the farmers will not profit
by experience and stack their grain. There
is going to be more work on hand than they
can possibly attend to, and it will be next
TO impossible to thresh out the wheat in the
helds as they usually do. Many of them will
nave their wheat lie and rot unless they take
the trouble to stack it, and some one should
take the pains to instruct them now that
they must do this in order to get all there is
in it,
Mr.. Robinson states that even the grain
which was badly planted without proper
preparation of the soil, and even the late
wheat, is all doing well. Corn is simply
grand, and worthy to rank with that of ia
nous corn states. Everything all over Min
nesota is simply blooming garden. There
We're some spots that have been struck by
hail, but even these are going to be worth
something, and not all loss. On, the whole,
he thinks the present season should eclipse
anything in the past, especially as the mar
ket conditions point to a good price on &C
count of scarcity in foreign markets.

fident that this country is about to ex-
perlence an era of solid, substantial
prosperity" said Senator Davis, of
Minnesota, this afternoon.
When you hear of great strikes
among laboring people you must real
lie that they have work, or would be
unable to strike A strike is always
an instructive appreciation of prosper
ity; a sort of universal belief that en-
ployers are prospecting and able to give
better wages. l therefore regard strikes
as indications of returning prosperity,
because they indicate the hope of the
laboring man who understands the
business of his employer
1T is also the evidence Of prosperity
that there have been greater shipments
of iron from the Great Lake region
during the present season than in any
pert of the last two decades. Statis-
tics of the treasury department also
show increased importations. Great
clearing houses also show an increased
volume of business.
AS matter of fact, from a political
standpoint, I might say that 1 have
been very anxious for the early pas
sage of the tariff bill, so that my par
ty might receive proper credit for tina
era of prosperity before it really be-
gan. From the standpoint of state
craft. 1 must say that l am pleased
fol my country and for my people. to
see the indications that are everywhere
apparent of the return of confidence
among business men, and the conse-
Quent return of prosperity among all
classes Of our people,"
