Far":--s of the Vest.
A dispatch from Washington says: Mr..
Wilson. Secretary of Agriculture, does
not take SO gloomy a view of the agricul-
tural prospects between the Allegheny
and the Rocky Mountains as do some Of
the so-called experts who are not CON
nected with the government service. Nor
yet does Mr.. Wilson attempt to minimize
the injury already done and that will in
crease unless there is q great precipita
tion Of moisture during the next few
weeks in the vast stretch OF country be-
tween the continental mountain ranges
While he acknowledges that the hard
wheas oelt of the Northwest has BEEN
damaged, he does not yet despair of aa
average yield of corn in the corn belt-
whie he defines as extending east frotta
the Missouri river to the Allegheniea.
embracing the States of Iowa. Wisconsin,
the northern part of Missouri and alb OF
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
The Secretary is especially hopeful OF
an average corn crop, Mr.. Wilson said
IF something could be done TO induce
the farmers in the corn belt TO extend
their period of cultivation about two
weeks this year beyond the usual limit |
would look for big crop. But the usual
season for cultivation is rapidly drawing
to close, I'd fear that with compare
lively few exceptions the farmers viii

which has shallow soil, thirty inches of.

considerable more this year, and yet
not dollars worth appears in the re-

off enough to make up the rest of the
difference between this year and last.
And besides all that. there has been a
reduction in, prices; so. really, exports
of manufactures have increased
But that amt the whole point,
either I've sold fully S2,000000, 600

A number of Democratic editors are
apparently greatly concerned over the
present depression in the price of wool
They are not, however. They are sim

dodge the fact that the wool industry
has been built up and wool growers
greatly benefited since the Republican
