June Crop Report no, Encouraging

June Crop Report not Encouraging.
The crop circular for June issued by
the statist!ciaR OF the agricultural de-
partment, under date of the 18th in
slant, is not altogether encouraging.
The climatic conditions which have
been SO extraordinary during the past
winter and spring. seem to have Gre
ated an outlook that shows shortage
throughout the country and portend
high prices during the coming seasons.
The report shows that the average con-
dition OF spring wheat is but Ola per
cent, as compared with 1909 per cent.
on June l. last year, while the reduc-
ton Of acreage is 10000. The decreases
are principally In the great wheat states
of Wisconsin. Minnesota. Iowa, Nebras-
ka, North Dakota and Oregon, rang
Ing from three to eight per cent. The
average condition OF winter wheat Is
but 6I.3 per cent, as compared with
s0.3 per cent. June OF last year, and
3S per cent, the minimum Of June aver
ages for the past thirteen years. The
average condition OF oats is about the
same. as Is also that OF rye.
In the south the reduction OF the cot
ton crop In acreage Is abou. eight per
cent. In the area planted. though the
condition is but three per cent lower
than June AVERAGES for thirteen years
Ia
that shows an increase in acreage, but
is eight points below the average in
condition. The apple crop throughout
the country varies but slightly from
the usual average. The peach crop
will probably come as near being a
total failure as 1t ever will come In n
country OF such vast extent and such
varied climatic conditions as the United

Decisive Action by Business Men

The NEE ting Of citizens, which was
called last night to assemble In the
Chamber OF Commerce to discuss the
Industrial and general business condi-
tons of the city growing out Of the
boycott Of the street railway line, and
to take such action us deemed neces-
sary to bring an end to the intoferabfc
situation. was beyond the expectation
Of the promoters. in point OF attendance
and enthusiasm. The Chamber Of
Commerce room would not hold one
fifth OF the crowd OF represen tatlves Of
all business interests who were de-
manding admittance. and the Odd Eel
lows hall had to be used. 1t was there
that the pronounced aStion was taken.
the full account OF which. together
with the resolutions adopted, amid
great enthusiasm. and by q practically
unanimous vote. will be found else
where, and are unnecessary TO repeat
here.
The result of the meeting. briefly
stated. is that on next Tuesday It will
be determined whether or not present
conditions shall continue. The resolu !.
tons do not take sides as to the merits
OF the strike: simply the alarming state
of affairs that has been caused by it,
and all but about 4 dozen OF those
composin~ the big assemblagc pledged
themselves. by standing vote. that
after the date fixed, the boycott should
be broken The text of the resolutions
gives the reasons which We're voted to
be satisfactory. 1t brings TO public
attention the gravity of the business
situation in this city. the effect it has
had to keep out new industries and
the detriment to the reputation and the
credit of Wheeling abroad.
The effect OF last nights meeting will.
no doubt. be to bring a. change for the
better. so far as these matters are con-
cerned, and prove 4 great relief to the
condition of affairs. The meeting
spoke in no uncertain tone, and 1t is
believed that those present are fully
determined to abide by the action ia
ken.

INC Historic I.insly Inslilntc.

The annual commencement day Of the
Linsly Institute at the State Fair
grounds yesterday completed the
clghty-Afth year since the famous acad-
envy was founded. Its history being the
record OF perhaps THE Oldest educatlona
institution west Of the Allegheny noun
tains. To detail that history would be
to write the history of Wheeling, and
the careers of the hundreds OF Wheel
Ing citizens. who have won their way
In LIES race In all lines OF endeayor
during the more than four score years
Of the existence Of the Linsly. From
Its walls during this long period came
the young men who were aftcrwnrd
pioneers that built up WheeIlng--the
business and the professional men, as
well as those who pursued other call
lnSs Of generations past.
In the earlier days, when the advan-
tages for academic education in this
region Of country were limited, the
Llnsly filed the place, and has outlvcd
other institutions that aspired higher.
There are veterans still living who
started on their intellectual careers
within Its walls; hundreds are in their
graves. Among the younger and mid
dlc-nged are many occupying important
positions in life, who began their ca
rcers there, and each year new recruits
have come to take their own places in
the ranks, and to I'LL the places OF the
older ones who have performed their
missions and gone to rest.
More youthful recruits were added
yesterday. They also have before them
lives of usefulness. II they follow in
the footsteps Of those who have pre-
coded them in the more than three.
quarters of a century that have gone
and more Will follow in future years.
During the past few years the standard
OF the Linsly has been raised under
the principalship Of Prof. John M.
Birch, whose devotion to his work has
been so satisfactory to the patrons Of
the school, and whose high character
has had great influence in shaping those
of the boys in his care. May the insti-
tuition continue its honorable career in
the future and be as successful as its
friends hope it may be.

contemplates n good many things,

says the statement OF the deal. Is not
to reduce the wages Of those employed

is to come In the matters Of rents, sales

templates that some of the houses in
each market engaged in the manhfac-
ture OF the same line OF goods will be
closed, IF necessary"
In other words. while wages are not
to be reduced the number of people
earning salaries and wages Is to be re-
duced. That Is the plan OF this gigantic
combine, which already Is assured by
