er conditions were experienced, particu-
larly so in the north Pacific coast region.
The cutting of early corn, the greater
part Of which is now safe from frost, Is
general in all sections. the maturing of
the crop having been advanced by the
hot. dry weather of the previous weeks.
Late corn is materially damaged by heat
and drought in portions Of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Nebraska and southern Missis-
sippi, but in Iowa is not as badly injured
as previous reports first indicated.
The conditions have been favorable for
wheat harvest and thra shing in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota, although the COM
pletion of stacking and shock thrashing
in portions of Minnesota was prevented
by light local showers. In Washington
exceptional conditions were experienced,
and change to dry weather saved much
wheat, while in Oregon the harvest pro-
crossed night and day, the crop in the
last named state being practically unin-
juied by previous rains, though some Is
bleached and the berry soft.
reports of the premature opening Of
cotton are general in the eastern and
central portions of the cotton region, and
picking is progressing as rapidly as pos
sible in all sections. The crop has been
damaged by local rains in South Caro-
lima and northern Georgia and seriously

TeSas the weather has been very favor
able for picking, which is being pushed,
and with favorable conditions, will be
completed in some localities by Oct. l.
One-half of the crop is already gathered
in Tennessee. The prospects are poor for
a top crop in Texas, Georgia and South
Carolina, although late cotton is still
blooming in the last name. states.
The bulk of the tobacco crop has been
cut and housetl in the more northerly
states, and this work Is being rapidly

Adverse reports are still received con-

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.

Heart weary Of building and spelling
And spelling and building agasq.
And I long for the dear old river
Where dreamed my youth awI1,
For dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in day.
am sick of the snowy seeming,
OF life that is half lie,
OF the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts endeuvos
would go where the children play
For a dreamer lives forever,
And thinker dies In day.
can feel no pride. but pity.
For the burdens the rich endure.
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives Of the poor.
Oh, the little hands too skillful,
And the child mind choked with weeds,
The daughters heart grown willful,
And the fathers heart that bleedsi
No, no; from the streets rude hustle,
From the trophies from mart and stage,
would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let us dream as Of yore by the river,
And be loved for the dream Away,
For the dreamer lives forever,
But the toiler dies in day.
