GOOD CROP OUTLOOK.
Nay Crop largest In the History Of the State
-ksansbse Applss Scarce.

The Maine Farmer has just received
complete summary of the crop condi-
tions Of the State, and it is a very Ia
vorable showing. The hay crop was
the largest in the history Of the State.
and the farmers say they never knew
more excellent fall feed for the stock.
Grain Of all kinds has ripened well.
There being a heavy yield per acre.
In only a few sections OF the State Ia
there reported shortage in grain.
The corn outlook is excellent. and
the canning factories are all running
in full blast.
The apple crop Of the State will fall
far below the average. In the great
apple producing sections of Kennebec.
Franklin. Androscoggin and south
eastern Oxford. the yield is very light.
The crop outlook. this year. Is such
that the farmers feel that the year is
to be proberous one to them. There
is fair demand. and very reasonable
prices are offered for hay. pork and
other products.
Last year. it will be remembered,
was a very disastrous one for Maine
farmers. The present one will go far
to recompense them for the losses of
last season.

The Time to Buy.
Use the Opportunity.

The bear weapon OF not placing st. Paul
on 6 per cent. basis Is a weak one. and
likely to hurt those using 1t to depress
prices. II the directors had made the
dividend. at a per cent. rate the profess
sional element would have been horror
stricken at the managements liberality
to the stockholders, and would have sold
the stock with just the same zeal as they
did when the conservative distribution
was announced. What was wanted was
an excuse to raid the market That was
furnished. the raid has come and the
market is all the better for IT,. The bears
have created an enormous short interest
which in itself will prove strong sup
port to prices; but aside from this, legiti-
mate conditions are too strong to allow
the market to be forced down. This is no
time for using pessimstic eyeglasses. 1t
is the time to take advantage of the re-
action and buy stocks Of merit with con-
fidence

The students Of the Cony High
school are very much pleased over the
prospects Of good football team this
fall. Three Of the best men Of last
years team have been lost by gradu-
alton. Small. Nash and Owen. TO iii
their places new men will have to be
developed but It Is confidently expected
by the management that some Of the
underclassmen will be able to accepta-
bly, MI their places.
An effort will be made to have all
the players pupils Of the school. Prof
Cook In talking to a Journal represent
tative In relation to the makeup Of
the team expressed himself as heartily
In favor OF a straight school team and
said he would be much opposed to
anything contrary. The victories won
by the aid OF outsiders would not re-
fleet credit on the school and the team
on which they played could not be
rightfully called a Cony High school
team.
Manager Stone. on assuming the
duties Of his Office. was not confronted
with large lot Of bills and had only
few small ones. The team Is in ex-
cellent financial condition, much bet
ter than it has been for some time.
and no difficulty will be experienced in
arranging games on this account.
Manager Stone has been corresponding
with the managers Of several high
school teams and while the schedule
is not made up some games have been
arranged for.
For some years the managers have
made the mistake OF placing their team
against teams altogether too heavy
and consequently the team has not
won very many games. This year. 1t
will be different as the teams which
will play Cony High will be more
evenly matched.
The candidates for the team will
commence practice. early this week.
