The acreage of wheat grown in
Michigan this year is, approximate
/ ly, l,710,000 acres.
This total is the footing of the
column "acres now on the ground
as returned by supervisors in the
Farm Statistics last spring, though
for few townships not yet received
or footed the acreage has been care
fully estimated
The average yield per acre in the
state is estimated at 1914 bushels.
This estimate is based on nearly
l ,l50 reports covering all parts of
the state. More than 200 are from
the southern counties and more
than 300 from the central counties.
The estimate, however, must be un-
derstood to represent simply the
best judgment of our correspondents
while the grain was standing uncut
or in stock, as when made no thresh-
ing had been done. The estimate
points to a crop of about 2S, 900, 900
bushels.
Harvest is full two weeks earlier
than in 1897. With good weather
it will be completed by the 10th
to 18th, or about the time begun
last year.
The number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in June is ,l32,-
931, as compared with 1902 re-
ported marketed in June, 1897, and
the amount marketed in the eleven
months, August-June, is 1862, 661
bushels, as compared with 9,46J, 5S2
bushels in the same months last
year.
The area planted to corn is about
normal, and the crop is in excellent
condition. The condition is % per
cent higher than one year ago
The average condition of oats is 81.
The estimated area planted to
beans is 81 per cent, and to potatoes
96 per cent of area in average years.
For potatoes the percentage for the
southern and central counties is 95,
for the northern 104, and for the
upper peninsula 100. In condition
this crop averages 96.
Meadows aud pastures and clover
sowed this year average about 80.
The hay crop this year is fairly good
and secured in fine condition.
Apples promise in the state 80 per
cent and peaches "a per cent oil
average crops. The>figures for the
southern counties are, apples "a
and peaches II. One year ago the
outlook was for less than hall
crop OF apples, and for less than one.
fourth crop of peaches.

DUN's review of the conditions of
trade indicates that the war is not
having IA disastrous effect upon com
merce. During the last three months
there have been fewer failures than
in the same quarter during the past
four years. The exports continue
to be heavy. Those of the past four
weeks are "a per cent heavier than
during the corresponding period OF
last year, while the imports are 80
per cent less than last year. This
condition tends to keep the gold
flowing into the country in spite OF
the war. Products of the soil prom
ise well, but manufacturers are
hesitating and the industries are not
quite up to their usual activity. The
outlook all around is most favorable
and the chief effect of the war Is
seen in the increased caution OIL
manufacturers who are afraid tc
risk a heavy output until the end Of
the war is in sight or its effect up.

A Peculiarly About the MuskeIiunge
Fish.

A few weeks ago l advanced wha,

garding the shedding of its teeth by
the muskellunge during the summer
months, says writer in Forest and
Stream. / now have confirmation on
the matter advanced at that by Mr.. II.
L. Stanton, of Chicago, and l believe
the phenomenon properly to be re-
garded as established. Mr.. Stanton's
observations were made in Wisconsin,
and his original informant had seen
the PHENOMENON in Canada. Now comes
Mr.. II. G. Mccartney, Of Chicago, who
has observed the same thing in the
waters of Cass and Itasca counties
of Minnesota. Mr.. Mccartney says
that last spring in May and June the
teeth of all the muskellunge taken in
Woman lake and adjacent waters were
sound and normal. On July 10 he ex-
amined fish which showed jaws red
and infamed, and with some of the
teeth missing. In August still more
teeth were found to be absent in speci-
mems examined. In late August and
in September it was the rule that no
teeth at all would be found in the
mouths of the muskellunge taken. The
muskellunge taken in October all
showed perfect teeth. Mr.. Mccartney
intends to keep record on this matter
next year. He does not know whether
the teeth are shed yearly or not, but
knows that they are shed sometimes.

TIE SENTINEL heartily endorses
the following from the Menominee
Herald; Auditor General Dix will
be re-nominated for his present Of
flee by the Republicans of Michigan.
He has proven himself worthy and
able official and deserves the honor
Of a nomination and reelection
He is not only an efficient officer, but
is also an honest and popular one
and will add strength to the ticket.
Gen. Dix was soldier in the late
war and the veterans of Michigan
will stand by him. And it may be
added that in the performance of
what he considered his plain duty
Gen. Dix has been instrumental in
saving the people many thousands
Of dollars and the state treasurer
the necessity of borrowing money
to meet current expenses.

Woman Takes All the blame for q

Woman Takes All the blame for
Murder Her Fiancs Committed.
The supreme court of Mexico has
asked President Diaz to pardon Maria
Montesi,los, who, some time ago, was
sentenced TO 20 years Imprisonment
IN Belem Jail for q murder she never
committed. The crime for which she is
suffering punishment was the killing
OF Pascaul Montafio, in a family quar-
rel. Miss Montesillos' lover, Piquinto
Torres, was the real murderer, but be-
cause she loved him Maria was willing
10 take the penalty. She took all the
blame for the murder and during the
preliminary inquiry by the third crimi-
nal Judge, and afterward at the trial
by jury, stoutly maintained that she,
and she alone. was responsible for the
death Of Montafio, whom she bad killed,
she said. to free herself from his con-
slant eourtship and dishonorable
propositions. Torres, therefore, got
off scot free, and the woman, as the
murder was considered to have been
committed under aggravated circum-
stances, was sentenced TO 90 years in
prison, a sentence which she cheerfully
accepted. But Torres, when he got
out, was unfaithful, and jealousy then
proved too much for Maria when she
learned of this. She presented the
clearest proof that she was innocent
and Torres guilty, and showed letters
from him to that effect. Her first at
tempt to secure relief was made before
the superior tribunal and was unsuc-
cessful. but the supreme court has just
set aside that decision and asked Presi-
dent Diaz to grant her freedom.
