THE U. s. CROP REPORT FOR MAY

A special, dated Washington, May 10,
furnishes this report, which is OF special
interest to farmers:
"The May returns show the acreage in
winter wheat is to be 81 per cent greater
than last year, the comparison being
not with the acreage harvested in 1897,
but with that sown in the fall of 1896
While there is an increase of 28 per cent
in Kansas, more or less marked in
crease in every eastern and southern
state and some increase also on the
Pacific coast, the large expansion thus
indicated Is to some extent Offset by a
decrease of per cent In Indiana, 8 per
cent in Ohio, IL per cent in Iowa, l3 per
cent in Missouri and l6 per cent in II
linois. The reduction in area in these
last named states is due to the fact that
the fall of 1896 was one of the finest
seeding seasons ever known, whereas
that of 1897 was one Of the most un-
favorable. The average condition OF
winter wheat is S6.5, against 500 May l
last year. In the nine states with
1000 900 acres or mere the averages are:
Kansas, los; Pennsylvania, 96; Michi-
gan, 90; Tennessee, 95; Missouri, SS;
Indiana, S5; Illinois, SO; Ohio, 50; Cali.
fornia 26. Correspondents agree in re-
porting the crop OF California to be one
of the smallest ever raised in that state.
On the other hand the Kansas crop
bids fair to be the largest in it's history.
The average condition of winter rye is
S6.5, against SS May ! last year.

The bondholders' organs are busy now
trying to impress our people with the
idea that the insurgent forces in Cuba
are very weak and the Spanish army
under Blanco is strong. These servile
sheets say sit has been demonstrated
that little if any dependence can be
placed on the armies of Gomez and
Garcia in the campaign that is to be
conducted against the Spaniards.
This is new song these organs are
singing. For three years these insur-
gents have maintained themselves in
spite of the power Of Spain and her
army in Cuba, never less than 100. 900.
What has this army been about if the
insurgents have been 80 very weak? 1t
is only recently these administration
sheets have been talking thus. From
whom and where came the cue they are
now following? 1t was not got from
Fitzhugh Lee who was at Havana these
years, and should know. These sheets
don't quote General Lee, nor any Of
our consuls elsewhere in Cuba. In short
If these papers tell the truth, what has
Spain's large army been aboutP Why
did not Weyler crush out theinsurgents2
What has Blanco been about? Let US
quote:
