Summary of the Reports Made to the
Corn Belt"
CHICAGO, June 28.-The Corn Belt

NHlNAdO, bulC 1us AAN WI II A1NAL
says:
Special reports to the Corn Belt, covering
more than 600 points in 1872 counties along the
Burlington system in southwestern Iowa, Ne
brasza, northern Kansas and northwest Mis-
souri, indicate that under warm sun and with
plenty of moisture, crops generally are in ex-
cellent condition
The cold weather in Iowa in the early part Of
June, which in many localities developed frost,
caused some replanting OF corn. Favorable
weather since that time, however has brough &
the crop forward but it will be somewhat be-
low the average OF last year In Ne
braska and Missouri plenty Of warm
weather has had the effect of bring
ing the crop along very rapidly
and the outlook now in northwestern Missouri
is generally good for a very large crop.
Small grains, with the exception of winter
wheat and oats, are generally in good condi-
ton The most unfavorabe reports in
regard to winter wheat come from Iowa
where so per cent. OF the reports say the
condition is only fair and 20 per cent Of the re-
ports say the crop will be full average, In
Nebraska the crop Will be below the average,
and the same is true in Kansas and Missouri

An interesting document, dating back
to 1905, while Mississippi was terri
tory, will bo interesting to Missis-
sippians 1t is piece of parchment as
large as a full-sized sheepskin covered
entirely with splendid penmanship,
evidently written with quill pen, and
is in fine state of preservation. 1t is
a grant of ., 500 acres Of land from the
British government to certain indi-
viduals and was executed ION the 1lth
day OF May, in the year of our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and seventy
nine, and in the nineteenth year Of the
reign of our sovereign Lord George the
Third, by the grace of God, Of Great
Britain, France and Ireland, king de-
fender of faith and so forth" Attached
to this antiquated document, which is a
real curiosity, is skillfully executed
map of the land, being done with pen.
All the seals, signatures, etc, are in
tact and show that the ever present
"red tape" was as much in evidence in
olden times as now. Another interest
ing and historic feature of this old
document is the Endorsement on the
back in perfectly preserved, regular
John Hancock style of penmanship,
which reads as follows:

Qualifications for Practice.

There Is no doubt that Commissioner of
Patents Butterworth will be sustained, not
only by the patent bar, but by the country
at large, in his efforts to so regulate the
practice of attorneys before his bureau, that
every one seeking to patent an invention
will receive fair treatment. The rules pro-
mulgated by the commissioner last week,
declaring the qualifications to be possessed
by those who practice before his bureau,
should be strictly enforced. 1t is strange
that IN the past there has been almost no
restriction in this respect. Any one,
whether he had any knowledge of patent
law and practice or not. could offer him.
self to clients seeking skilled advice and be
received by the patent office without ques-
ton one equipped to take charge of a
case. Every court in the land has power
not only to secure the necessary qualifica-
tons of those who practice before the
court. to regulate their conduct SO that in
nocent clients are protected from the Chi
canery of men who might seek to make
the government a partner in conducting a
sharp practice. If the commissioner needs
further authority in order that he may
suitably regulate patent practice, Congress
should not hesitate to strengthen his hands
by the prompt enactment of the proper
statutes.
