Crop Prospects.

Many fears of rust on small grain
have been expressed during these
recent hot moist days, and no won
der that the farmers havebeen
quite anxious. A somewhat wide
enquiry on our part reveals the pleas
ing intelligence that damage from this
source is not likely to be as great as
feared. There is good deal OF rust,
but for the most part it is confined
to the leaves and has affected the
stalks of the grain very little. Then
the frequency with which heavy show
ers have followed each other has been
q decided help, since before the rust
which was forming got deeply seated
it was washed of by the next shower.
Despite some poor pieces on bottom
lands which were drowned out or bak-
ed out in the early part Of the season,
and a few showing the effect OF poor
farming or other adverse conditions
easily accounted for, the outlook for
small grain in this county il now ex-
cellent.
Farmers have experienced great
difficulty in getting good stand Of
corn, and the backward weather in the
early part Of June was very discourag'
ing. However, = cloee observer vii.
find that there 10 fairly good stand,
averaging wonderfully better than the
fears that have been expressed would
lead us to expect. The weather con
ditions since the middle Of June have
been almost perfect for corn, aud
night and day II has made magnificent
progress during this period. A travel

for the coming year. The school is

Miss Mary Walrod of Beresford is the

high school is one Of a dozen whose
graduates are admitted to the profess

MON ET.ARI COMMISSION.

The President sent to Congress on Sat
the appointment of monetary commits
sion to examine our banking and currency
laws and report whatever changes they
may find necessary The House quickly
responded to the Presidents request and
passed a bill providing for the appoint
ment of the commission. The Senate,
however. which rarely acts promptly upon
any subject of public importance, simply
tabled the message, and there the matter
will rest until Congress meets i'll regular
session in December. That the commits.
sion will be authorized by the Senate as
at present constituted is very doubtful.
While the passage of a bill establishing
the commission would have been a sub
stantial advance toward the proper re-
vision of the currency system, it would
not have been final, neither would Con-
gress have been bound by its recommended
tons For this reason, therefore, the sill
yer and populistic forces in the Senate
could easily have afforded to sanction the
creation of such commission without los
ing any political advantage. Their re-
fusal to accept the Presidents recommen-
dations, therefore, was simply an exhibit
ton of the 'crankiness' for which the
higher branch of Congress has long. been
noted, and which it has frequently display
ed at the cyDcnse of the public welfare
