Condition Of the Crops.

Following is the Weather Bureaus
weekly summary of crop conditions:
The temperature conditions of the
week ended June "a were highly favora-
BILE in nearly all parts of the country,
especially in the Rocky mountain region
and on the Pacific coast, where the pre-
vious week was abnormally cool. The
South Atlantic States, which suffered
from excessive rains in the previous week
have experienced more favorable condi-
tions for cultivation, which has been
seriously delayed. Rain is now very gen.
orally needed in the Central and West
Gulf States, including Arkansas and
Southern Missouri.
Further and general improvement in
the condition of corn is indicated In
Nebraska, the Dakotas and portions of
Iowa the crop is in need of cultivation,
but is generally clean in the last named
state. In Missouri corn is holding out
well, hut the southern portion of the state
damage. In Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
corn is backward, but is now making
rapid growth. In the Southern States
the corn crop is doing well except in
Texas, Louisiana and Southern Mississippi
where it is greatly in need of rain, especi-
ally in Texas. In the Atlantic coast
states the crop has made favorable pro-
gress, but needs cultivation in portions of
the Virginias and Carolinas.
Winter wheat harvest has advanced
under favorable conditions during the
week, and is now in progress in the
northern portion of the central and wes-
tern districts of the winter wheat belt,
with generally satisfactory results. both
as to yield and quality. In Michigan and
portions of Pennsylvania and New York
fly has caused deterioration, and increas-
ed reports of rust are received from Ohio
and Virginia. In the Caroiinas grain in
shock has suffered some injury from
moisture. In California harvest is pro-
crossing in all sections. In Oregon and
Washington the prospects continue favor
able, and wheat is ripening in the first
named state.
The spring wheat region has experience
ed very favorable weather conditions, and
the outlook for spring wheat is now most
encouraging, although in Northern
Minnesota some fears of lodging are
entertained. The crop is nov heading
over the southern portion of the spring
wheat region.
In the principal tobacco states tobacco
is growing well and the stands are good.
Transplanting is now about finished in
the mole northerly sections, and cutting
has begun in South Carolina.
The reports respecting apples are some
what more encouraging in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Kansas, but in the other
important apple states the outlook is less
promising, and dropping continues to be
extensively reported.

Items from AQuascO.

President r. w. Sylvester of the Mary
land Agricultural College spent last Sun
day with Mr.. and Mrs. P. A. Bowen.
Mrs. R. L. Craycroft is visiting her
aunts, Misses Grace and Perrie Stone.
Misses Florence Bowen, and Sue Col
ton, after most delightful visits with diff
ferent friends, returned on last Saturday
to their homes in our village, which has
been unusually quiet the past spring, be-
cause of the several sorrows in our midst.
These young ladies thoroughly enjoyed
the delightful hospitality of President and
Mrs. Sylvester during the week of closing
exercises of the NJ. A. c., which lnstitu-
ton has under the able and vigorous man
agement of Captain R. W. Sylvester, at
tanned very high degree of excellence.
Little Misses Helen and Anna Nichol-
son of Washington are staying at the
home of Mr.. G. H. Mcpherson.
Miss Mamie Thomas is visiting her Sis
ter Mis-. Burns Wilson uear Baden.
The little home school, of Miss Re.
becca Compton was closed last week !;
very quietly this year.
Miss Margaret Bowen who was one of
the "house party entertained at the
home President and Mrs Sylvester, du-
ring commencement week, is now at
Ocean city with a number of friends.
The first suicide ever committed in
Woodville within the recollection Of the
Oldest inhabitant took place on Wednes-
, day afternoon, when Jack Beatty, an old
and respectable colored man, between
seventy-five and eighty years of age, took
a sharp butchers knife and crept under
the wood pile at his house; in this
crouching attitude, cut his throat, entire
ly severing his wind pipe. Persons hear
ing his scream, went to him, Mr.. Freaer-
lex Connick among the number, hut too
late to save his life, as he died almost i'm
mediately. No cause is ASST signed for this
rash act, although his physician says he
was greatly depressed by his inability to
longer support himself
And thus this sad "wave" of suicide
with which our fair land is cursed reaches
even unto us in our peaceful village.

Farmers Form A League.

Representatives of number of agrl-
day in the lecture room of the State
Geological Survey, Johns Hopkins Uni
v,rsity, and organized the Farmers
League of Maryland.
The result was the outcome of gather
ering of farmers last November at the
Maryland Agricultural College, when ii
was decided to make an effort for the
better organization of the farmers of
Maryland.
The new league elected the following
officers:
President-James Harris, Kent county
e-President-Milton f. Smith, Har-
ford county.
Secretary Treasurcr-Morton O Stabler
Montgomery county.
Executive Committee-Asa B. Gardiner,
Jr., Baltimore county; John ID. Worthing-
ton, Hartford county; Jesse Webright,
Carroll county; Joseph B. Ager, Prince
Georges county and the president, vice
president and secretary-treasurer OK
otficio
The constitution adopted states as a
reason for organizing the league that its
promoters believe the interests of agri-
culture will be advanced, First, through
friendly discussion and practical advice,
and by learning and making public the
successful methods of agriculture that are
found in the different sections of the
State and elsewhere as well as by advo-
eating the formation of sectional clubs
and oranges where such objects are
sought, and second, by taking part in the
and an interest in the appointment of
efficient Ulcers for their execution"
The membership of the league is to
consist of one delegate and one alternate
from each farmers club, grange, live
stock association or any body based on
agriculture in the State. Any officer
accepting political position of nomina-
ton for such position must vacate his
office in the league. Annual meeting are
to be held in December, although special
meetings may be called.
One of the principal committees will be
that on legislation, which shall endeavor
ito promote beneficial and impede harm
full legislation with reference to the ulti-
mate welfare of the interests represented
by the league, whether pending before the
Congress of the United States, the Legis-
lature of Maryland, the Mayor and City
Council of Baltimore, or boards of county
commissioners"
A committee on public officials is to in
vestigate the character and fitness of any
candidate or public official whose possible
duties may affect directly the interests of
agriculture, cor whose duties should call
for any special knowledge or training in
the several branches with which the
leagues members are most familiar"
A committee on publication is to keep
the members and the public informed of
now or successful attainments in any of
the branches of agriculture.
Dr. Mahlon Kirk, of Montgomery
county, presided at the last meeting,
and w. W. G. Stewart, of Baltimore
county, was secretary. Mr.. W. L. Amoss.
of Hartford county, deplored lack of
tendency in farmers to organize. He
said there are ut present but 90 farmers
clubs in Maryland, and but 81 farmers
organizations of all kinds
