When Mr. Gallup sat down for the
evening. he had his newspaper on his
knee and Mrs. Gallup was singing

supper table. He had been reading for
a quarter Of an hour when she quietly
entered and sat down and said:

RANGER MAY DO.
Probably Will Not be Necessary to
Send q BattIeship South.

Washington. Aug 10-The state depart
ment was without any additional infor-
nation today concerning the Venezuela
Colombia situation nor upon the revolu-
tionary outbreak on the isthmus. These
two troubles are quite distinct-one on the
west and the other on the east of Colon
bia-
The Ranger, which has been ordered to
get in readiness at San Diego. Cal, for q.
trip to Panama. is a small cruiser of 1,020
tons displacement and has been engaged
for some time past in surveying work
down on the Pacific coast and in Central
American waters. It is very possible that
her services at the seat of trouble will
suffice and that battleship will not be
obliged to make the long trip down from
the north
The Ranger has main battery Of six
4-inch rapid fire guns and a secondary
battery of four 6-pouisers ard Colt
gun She has a compl ement Of q Off
GERS and 127 men and is commanded by
Commander Wells L. Field
As the battleship Iowa reported her ar
rival at Bremerton today while the bat
tleship Wisconsin has not yet been heard
from, it is probable that the former may
be substituted for the prospective trip to
the Pacific side of the isthrnus if it il
decided to send battleship, although
the formal announcement OF the change
was not made up to noon today.

cultivation had, the effects of the heat
upon the tassel has been to great ex-
tent balanced by the amount OF
moisture that the plant could get to
Offset evaporation. In cases where the
ground was saturated by excessive
rains in the spring (and this has oc-
CURED in many helds) the roots spread
near the surface. They could not get
into the saturated soil because they
could not find oxygen there
THE growth under these conditions
was retarded and when the heat came
such fields were in bad condition to re-
sist it particularly where cultivation
was not as frequent and as thorough a S
it should have been. In many cases
corn fields under the latter conditions
seemed stunted-undersize and quite
a per cent should be cut up now for
fodder. Some farmers are cutting such
corn for fodder and it viii make better
fodder than the average because the
stalk stin retains the strength that
ears.
Early corn has suffered most, where
all the conditions, including organic
matter in the soil, and thorough culti-
walton have not obtained, but where
those conditions have obtained, early
corn is the finest.
Conditions can not be altogether de-
term1ned by latitude Some OF the finest
corn fields I have seen are west Of the
Missouri river. and 1 hear of localities
in western Nebraska that they have
lad ram ana give promise OF SOou
crops.
THE oat crop is abundant and varia-
bic. 1t may have ripened prematurely
in some cases but there viii be plenty
of oats Wheat is excellent everywhere
The hay crop is abundant and of course
put up in fine condition. Northern and
extreme western states will have an
abundance of potatoes to supply the
states further east where they have
suffered The sugar beet is entirely
healthy everywhere and has withstood
the drouth admira bly,. I have visited
no locality" said Mr. Wilson, where
the people need help from anybody
There is an abundance of forage in the
west to winter all kinds of stock and
the injury done to the corn crop may
result in nagement in the future
that will aid the farmer to avoid to a
large extent a repetition Of this years
experience"
Speaking of the value Of continuous
cultivation Mr.. Wilson said:
Cultivation is valuable in that it
tends to conserve the moisture by Gre
ating a dust mulch on the surface
through which the moisture will not
rise. Farmers make a mistake when
they stop cultivation when there are
no weeds to kill. When cultivation
ceases the ground cracks, the cracks
widen-go deeper into the soil, moisture
escapes. and the crop suffers.

MORE Rain.
Nearly Half Inch Fell Friday
Afternoon.

Friday afternoons rain amounted to
80 hundredths of an inch in the govern
ment rain gauge.
The fog this morning was the result
of the rain of yesterday. Yesterdays
wind was from the northwest where
there has been cooler weather The
forecast announced cooler weather in
Kansas. The fog came after midnight.
The air was fun of moisture last night
and the cooler weather caused the
clouds to form at the ground The fog
was dense At seven o'clock this morn
ing the fog lifted and the clouds that
were in the sky this morning were the
ones that hung close to the ground be-
fore seven o'clock and caused the fog.
The rain of Friday seems to have
been more or less general in the north
eastern port of the state. There was a
good rain at Kansas City and from
there as far west as Hutchinson good
showers were reported. Showers fell at
Concordia, Columbus. Mankato. Glen
Elder, Stockton. There was heavy
rain at BelOit. Lyndon received a good
rain. The rain at Newton measured
nearly an inch. Usage City had a good
rain and Hutchinson reported a good
shower
Reports received at the Rock Island
general offices here show that a good
ratsa fell over the Harrington division of
that road. No rain was reported from
other parts of the state covered by the
Rock Island.
Rains were quite general over the
Santa Fe lines last night. On the
Strong City branch as far north as
Hymer. good rains are reported. From
Emporia to Newton and beyond there
We're rains, and also at Wellington and
vicinity. There was no rain at Nc
PhersOn or Marion
The minimum temperature today was
IS, which occurred between seven and
eight o'clock The wind has been south

WHY CORN SUFFERED.
Secretary Wilson Discusses Eff

Traer. Ia. Aug. 10.-Secretary Wilson.
Of the department of agriculture. has
completed his tour Of the corn belt and
is resting for a few days on his farm
ana among his townsmen at this place.
THE weather of the future said the
secretary to an Associated Press repor-
ter. will have much to do with re-
gard tc the final yield of corn and final
figures can not be given by anybody at
the present time Late corn will be ben
Gifted by favora bic fall weather. and
early corn, growing under the best con-
ditions viii fill out better with suffi-
cient rain fall in the near future.
II have been travelling through the
corn belt he continued, more with
view to studying the conditions thar
nave brought about present results
than to ascertain the precise amount Of
damage done to the corn crop by the
hot weather, in order that may have
bulletins prepared in the department
for distribution among the farmers
showing them where they may improve
their methods.
Il observe that the corn is seriously
injured" said he, in a good many To-
calities In the corn belt. observe also
that the corn is quite promising in 9TH
er localities. The reasons for the varf-
atoms are found in conditions tracing
back to the planting season, and also
to the system OF agriculture pursued by
the several corn growers. There has
been some injury owing to the protract-
ed heat to all corn fields but much less
where rotation IN crops has been OBJ
served than where the land is perpet-
ually cultivated and where crops are
grown for the purpose Of selling the
grain.
"A common observation regarding the
corn crop this year is that the tassel
upon coming out has been vyithered by
the heat and failed to fertilfze through
the silk. This is the case more or less
in all the fields that have visited but
po1tnation has been much more per
feetly performed where the soil was
