MR. WILSON'S VIEW.

Corn Crop IL Not Ruined.

Agriculture Wilson hopes that the corn
crop Of the western states has not ye,
been ruined by the droath. lie il dis
posed 10 believe that tho reports as 70
tho damage have bsen exaggerated. He
IL quoted as follows:
IL do not regard the corn crop as Sc.
riously damaged. notwithstanding the
press reports from the western states.
On July I. the condition Of the corn
crop was more promising than ON the
same date last year. and even II tho
press reports are not 'exaggerated.
although | am inclined 20 think they
overstate the real conditions, there is
not as yet cause for genuine alarm.
Throughout the area Of the great corn
crop the drouth has not been severe
enough 20 seriously affect that crop. Hot
weather is not damaging to corn at this
season. In fact. high temperature nj
this season is one OF the iisites Of
corn development. and 81 cink that
we had better wait a while before We
say that the corn crop is ruined.
For myself, think that we shall
have plenty Of corn in this country.
The press reports from Kansas aud Ne.
braska are Of course discouraging. but
the crop in those states is not gralA ex.
cepi in the eastern portions. The great
corn belt of this country is east Of the
Mississippi river and west Of the Ohio.
81 have not yet seen anything to in
dictate that there has been large
amount of damage in this area Of
country. | am going TO wait. therefore.
until hear whether the drouth has
been destructive in Iowa. Illinois. Mis-.
souri,, Indiana. Michigan and Wisconsin /
