Baked Soils Soaked.


The first signs of promise in many
weeks appeared to the farmers Sunday
throughout the Western States. A gem
eral opening of the clouds moistened the
parched earth just enough to awaken the
belief that Providence still reigns, and
that the end Of the almost unprecedented
drought is at hand. In nine of the dozen
or more States afflicted by the blighting
dryness showers fell with a gentle force
sufficient to soften the hard crust that
has been baking for weeks ON the fields
and prairies.
A hymn of thanksgiving mingled with
the falling of the rain in hundreds Of
localities. Countless numbers of farmers
hailed the showers that visited their acres
as their salvation from heavy misfortune.
For days and days they have been wait
ing for favorable time to put in their
winter wheat. Such ground as would
permit plowing at all was so dry that
clouds Of dust followed the plows across
the fields. The fields that had been plant
ed early in the beginning of the drought
with winter wheat promised nothing for
Lack Of water ON the tender sprouts. It
Is now believed that much of the ground
can be put in cultivation in time, taking
1t for granted that the drought is broken.
Reports received from the Government
signal service show that rain has fallen
very generally in Colorado, Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
cOnsin, Upper Michigan and Illinois.
The visitation in Nebraska is the first
rain OF any consequence that has fallen
for six weeks. Suffering Kansas got her
first wetting in two months Sunday after
noon. Iowa received her share Of rain
at the same time.
In its effect upon the future crops the
damage wrought by the drought cannot be
estimated for many days, in the opinion Of
experienced observers. On regular culti-
waited soil, grain men declare, the con-
tracted wheat area merely means larger
corn acreage next year, but this does not
apply to the vast acres Of prairie ground
that have never been touched by a plow.
Much of this virgin prairie sod was to
have been turned over this fall i'm Ne
braska and Kansas, but the drought has
made it necessary for this work to be left
over. To make such land available for
next years use it must be plowed in the
fall and left to the elements until the next
spring. 1t is too late now for such work
to be carried out to completion.
One consolation has been found in the
drought by the stock growers, while the
farmer has found nothing to compensate
him for the loss of his winter wheat pros
pect. The cattlemen declare the pros
poets for abundant and fine grazing on
the ranges have not been SO good in years
The grass has been extremely well cured
by the protracted dry weather, and this
fact is encouraging to the men who count
their wealth by the head. Their only anx-
iety has been to supply their cattle with
water sufficient to keep them alive. Now
that the rain has begun failing their cup
OF joy is full, as they see the ponds and
creeks and wells once more available.

Louis team during the recent eastern
trip. An employe Of the Boston manage
ment estimated the profits of the club at
the above sum in q conversation while
the St Louis team was playing in Bean
town. One gatekeeper at Boston said
that the average attendance there this
season was the best in the history of the
game. Ned Hanlon, the manager of the
Baltimores, received $4,000 as his clubs
share of the gate receipts for three games
at Boston. New York will make at least
$1OO,OOO. Like Boston, the attendance in
New York has been large from the COM

the best paying grand stand in the league.
All the Gotham regulars patronize the

New York paid st. Louis $4,000 for six
games this season. For one game, on
April 20, the st. Louis club received ST.
500. Baltimore has made plenty of money,
but the home patronage did not keep up
consistently. The strong clubs only drew
big crowds in Baltimore. They say at
Cincinnati that they will clear about $780,
600 ON the season. Washington will also
make big money, something like 10000.
Philadelphia started off pretty well in the
spring, but the poor work of the Quakers
toward the finish cut the attendance down
to nothing. ST. Louis received $1,000 less
than it did in 1896 for its series in Phila-
delphia. Reach and Rogers will be lucky
