Prospects for Abundant Supply Of
Wheat and Potatoes.
AFTER THE FALL HARVESTING.
VINE PRODUCTS WE'RE INJURED
BY THE EASTER FROSTS. AND
WILL BE SCARCE-vERY FEW Alp
PILES, BUT AN ABUNDANT CROP
OF PEACHES, MELONS. GRAPES
AND SMALL FRUITS.

Some interesting facts in connection
with crop prospects were CLEANED by a
Register reporter through tour or the
wholesale produce dealers yesterday All
indications point to an exceptionally gooo
year for farm products. The crop Will
be short in some respects, but larger tnan
usual in others, the latter more than
counteracting the former.
Wheat and potatoes, two of the most
important staples, will be plentiful, and
unless affected by the European demand,
prices will be low. The fluctuations in
wheat values have not been natural Out
have been the result of speculations.
There will probably not be mucn variance
from present quotations, until the luli
crop is placed on the market, and as II
promises to be large, further stump IN
wheat is expected. The potato crop VIII
be unusually large. 1t is estimated that
it will be 80 per cent.
Vine products have suffered great
deal from the Easter frosts, ana lhere
will be a shortage. The estimate TOT
vine products is 40 per cent. or less. Ihls
includes, cucumbers, peas, beans and to-
matoes. although the last mentioned is
frequently classed among the fruits All
the Watermelons handled in Wheeling
have come from Georgia and other south
ern points. Farmers are not deVotlhs as
much attention to Ohio river melons as IN
mast years. and the crop has gradually
dwindled Cantaloupes made appearance
in the local markets last week. and the
supply promises to be fair throughout
the season.
The apple crop will be very small. In
some sections of the country, notably III
southern Illinois and Missouri, 1t Will De
an entire failure. The crop in the south
ern Illinois district yielded several nun
dreds of thousands of dollars last year
The trees blossomed magnificently IN the
early spring. and a record-breaking crop
was anticipated, but frosts and cola
weather did uncalculable damage.
In spite of the annual stereotyped com
plaint that 1.-THE peach crop is rulned'
which is heard every spring. the cron 81
that luscious fruit will be enorr.5us 1t
is estimated that it will reactes5 per cent.
1t has been stated 800 cars will be
required to move tte'crop from the state
of Georgia 2ione. The favorable condl-
lions .n.ace not only quantity but quail
itv. Prices will be very low.
In the local market the supply Oh
blackberries will be fair; grapes Will De
abundant: corn and tomatoes will be fair'

Better than great riches is a good
name: but both riches and fame, if
the name is q reflex of the individual
or organization Ottumwa is the beau
tiful Indian term for "Rippling Wat
or" and the thrilling power and ten
der sweetness of the Ottumwa's
music renders the name superlate-
lively appropriate. The abundant
honors thrust upon this organization
from the music loving public, from
the gulf and the Great Lakes and
from the classic bay state to the
breezy Black Hills, have given this
constellation of musicians, the bright
est place in the armament of Amer
ica's male quartettes. The harmony
of their voices, the richness and VOL
ume of tone, the scholarly rendition
Of the classics, and their abundant
fund of rich and rolicking humor,

ing of the generous patronage, a.
they are faithful and spare no labor
when there is call for their service,
for which they receive no pay and
ask for none individually, but desEe
to have a substantial fund to sseist
