RAIN MUCH NEEDED.
Hay Crop Has Suffered and Will be
Light in Many Places.

Boston, June 1.-THE weekly crop bulle-
tin of the New England section of the
climate and crop service of the weather
bureau says:
The dry weather preceding the rain of
the 22d caused widespread damage. The
hay crop, in particular, suffered. In some
localities the crop has been harvested and
the ground seeded for fodder. 1t Is es-
timated that more fields of this character
have been sown than ordinarily. The
heavy rains of the latter part Of the week,
relieved the crops along the coast, but
inland the conditions remain unfavorable.
Farm operations have been uninterrupted.
In the southern half of the section the
second hocnC has been completed while
| in the northern States most crops have
| been cultivated once.
Grass-Haying has begun in most
States. Reports generally state that the
| crop is light. In old meadows especially,
| the yield is below the average. few re-
ports from Massachusetts and Maine
| state that there is an ordinary yield, but
| from New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode
Island and Connecticut reports state that
| the crop will he from one-half to three
| fourths the normal. In New Hampshire
and Vermont pastures on sandy slopes are
| looking brown.
| Grain.-Rye continues in good condition.
Oats are now heading, and in the locali-
| ties where heavy rains fell are promising
elsewhere the fields are almost stationary.
Corn is generally from week to ten days
| late; but little replanting has been nee
essary.
Fruit.-Reports in general state that the
| apple crop is heavy. though not so heavy
as the blooms seemed to indicate. One
report from Maine states that apples are
not so promising as they were a week ago;
another from the same state says they
are blichting and falling. All reports from
New Hampshire and Vermont are fiatter-

chief characteristic of the quatrains is
after all the admirable technique
displayed especially in a marvellous
lyrical expression, a delicate gracefulness
of metre, and poetic fancy of sentiment.
Thus Omar Khayyam's chief claim to
renown rests not upon his expression OF
epicurean philosophy and moderness of
sentiment, but rather upon the UNIVERSAL
ity of his work and the beauty of diction.
Several quotations were introduced to
Illustrate the different points made by the
speaker.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick made reference to the
great political crisis in the Far East and
pointed out that the present strain
cd relations between England and
Russia must sooner or later gen.
crate into open war between these
Inationalities. He called attention to
the great preparations in a military way
which Russia was carrying on apparently
with Just such n future conflict in view
and emphasized the fact that England was
the only logical rival of tho great S,avCnic
power and indeed was the very power at
whom Russia was aiming in her mobiliz-
ing designs. The most important, and the
salient feature of the great Forthcoming
struggle between these world powers Is to
he it's racial character. The struggle is to
be that of Sav against Saxon, with Rus
STA and England as typical representatives,
of their respective races. The speaker
strongly asserted that the conflict is to
be a struggle between antagonistic types
of civilization and that i'm such a conflict
the filter product will undoubtedly prevail.
However, this does not mean that the
higher civilization will prevail for the
higher civilization is very rarely the hitter
tyne The problem is Does the Russian
possess a inter and more Virile type
of civilization than do that of the Saxon.
In the struggle that is inevitably forth
coming this is the problem which is to
