The sweet potato crop is sur
prising the farmers this year.
They were counting it a short
crop, not much better than
last year, but it is turning
out splendidly, and some
farmers say they have as good
potatoes as they ever raised.
The warm weather the last
month is what brought out
the sweet potatoes. They
have grown more during that
time, some say, than during
the whole summer.
The bird hunters who have
been out trying their guns and
dogs say most of the birds are
only half grown. There are a
great many of this size, but no.
many full grown birds. But

It's provided that the American Histori-

il is for US 20 have this exposition unless
we are given positive assurance OF Congress

have raised by subscription over S40COO.O.
The balance needed to make up the S3,VOOi-
600 which We propose to raise by a SUD
scription will have to come from large sub
scribers. We are assured that II we can
get the pledge Of Congress to grant the
aid which We ask for this exposition we
will have no difficulty whatever in raising
the additional amount needed But unless
we get this assurance, / do not believe IL
will be forthcoming. 1t is also important
if We are to hold this exposition. that We
should arrange with foreign exhibitors TO
be present at our fair. This can easily
be done while the Paris Exposition is in
progress. But il action is deferred by
Congress upon our bill until the Decem-
Der session the Paris Exposition will
then have closed and it will be matter
of great difficulty and OF great expense to
procure foreign exhibits for the s.. Louis
exposition. Whatever you do there ore,
we wish you to do promptly.

that Congress should take positive action
