minnesota Crop Bulletin.

On the whole, the week has been very
favorable for work in the harvest fields
in all parts of the state. Much of the
spring wheat Is in shock in southern
counties, and harvest is begun in the
extreme north. Barley is ripe, and its
cutting in central and southern portions
is further advanced than is the wheat
harvest; much of the barley Is in stack.
The oat crop is generally poor; large
areas of oats have been cut for hay and
good deal has been harvested, put as
the stools seem to be heading well many
farmers are waiting for them to rlpen
before cutting the crop. Early max IS
ripening, and a little has been cut. The
straw of all grains is very abort ana
thin on the ground north OF the Min
nesota valley, and many headers are
used to cut the wheat instead of bind
ers, which cannot gather the short straw
without considerable loss, and some bar
ley has been mown and stacked loose.
The wheat heads have filled well with
an excellent quality of grain.

Americans without Money Are Advised 10 Give

Washington, April 3.-The war de-

note of warning to restrain over-con-
fident Americans from tiocking into
Cuba without resources. General Wood
made this a matter of special represent
taticns to Secretary Root. He reports
that there are quite "a number of such
Americans completely stranded in Cuba
whom he Is unable to relieve. His sug-
gestion was that the war department au-
thorize him to ship them back to the
United States on the army transports,
but so far Secretary Root has not been
able to see how he can do this.
According to the advices received by
the department, Cuba is no place for
a man without money. With some cap
ital there is large opportunity for re-
turns, but otherwise even willing work.
ingmen and clerks cannot secure employ.
ment, and must soon come to grief.
Secretary Root mentioned the fate of
some of the Americans who had gone to
Cuba as parts Of alleged COLONIES" as
particularly hard, and If it shall ap-
pear proper to extend relief at all 1t may
be he will authorize those who are now
suffering in these colonies to be brought
home in the transports
