 Reports from 164 counties in Texas and approximately all of Oklahoma and Indian Territory say tlere is a falling off of the wheat and oat crops of 75 per cent, compared with the yield of 1900. Enough of these grains will not be raised for home consump- tion and seeding. Large imports will have to be made before next year. The drought of the eaxiy part of the sea- son caused part of the damage; the green bug, scientifically known as the aphis, did.fthe rest.

MERIDIAN WANTS
 THE DOLLAR RATE
Citizens Formulate Resolutions Which Are Forwarded to A.
 6. s. Freight Department

Meridian, Miss, May 30-(Special.)-A ing for the purpose of drafting a request to the Alabama Great Southern Railroad Company to reduce the rates on coal to Meridian by car load lots from $125 to to a fate rate of s1.
 This matter has been under considera- tion by the users of steam coal in Merid- ian for some days but owing to the ab- sence from the city of certain of the heavy consumers of the black diamonds, action was postponed until they could reach the city.
 The matter was talked over informally this morning and President H. L. Mckee of the gas company rendered the use of his office to the gentlemen for a meeting this afternoon. Mir. D. J. Martin took the initiative and called the meeting. An other gentleman who has been much in- terested in the work is MT. E. Calm, who in private correspondence, has been urg- ing the Alabama Great Southern to make the voluntary reduction.
 The meeting was precipitated by the action of the Louisville and Nashville and Southern roads in making big drop in the rates on coal from the fields about Birmingham to Mobile and New Orleans. It is regarded as manifestly unfair that the short haul to Meridian should be charged as much for as the longer route to New Orleans.
 A strong protest was drawn up this af- ternoon and forwarded to the Southern general freight agent asking for dollar rate into Meridian.
 In the event the request Is denied, the users of steam coal in Meridian will take up at once a study of oil, obtaining such rates from the fields as will justify them in making the change from coal to oil in their plants.
