LUCKY WEST VIRGINIA.

We have already pointed out the
great advantage of Wheeling over 9th
er cities as a summer resort. And this
is no joke, since our temperature dur
ing the present prolonged hot spell has
ranged anywhere from five to twenty
degrees lower than in other cities. al
though the thermometer reports else
where are usually taken ON top OF a
sky-scraper, while Wheeling's the--
mometer record is taken down on the
hot street.
What is said of Wheeling is true also
of the entire State. While the rest OF
the country is sweltering and people
dying of heat like sheep, while the crops
everywhere else are burning up. West
Virginia is experiencing few if any o.
these hardships due to the extraordin-
AIRY hot weather.
The weather and crop bulletin for the
State for the week ending July q, now
made public by the weather bureau at
Parkersburg, shows that corn, which is
burning up out in the West, in West
Virginia 'is generally tassellng and
silking, and good crop is looked for
although there is some complaint OF
chinch bugs. Meadows have improved
potatoes are making nicely, and prom

The New York Journal of Commerce
presents some important crop bulle-
tins and estimates OF the damage 10
corn by the drouth. They are Turn
3shed by bankers, business men and
others. who, as the Journal points out
..bave the maximum reason for know
ing what the facts are, combined with
the minimum interest to warp their
Judgment one way or the other. IN
Kansas one optimist puts the loss on
corn in his section at only 20 per cent,
few put it at so per cent, most OF
them put it at rs per cent and all the
way from that point to absolute faii-
alre. Kansas has suffered in a short
hay crop and the drying up of the
pastures. Wheat straw was worth Ss
a ton several days ago on account or
the failure of hay. Cattle are being
forced to sale at very low prices be-
cause farmers have neither forage nor
water for them
Cattle receipts at Kansas City are
on one day of this week 5000 above
the record ON account OF the eagerness
of Kansas farmers to get the stock off
their hands.
In other States than Kansas, says
the Journal of Commerce losses are
not so appalling, but they are serious
enough. In Iowa there has been little
loss on live stock yet and estimates
of damage TO corn are generally
quarter or third, sometimes less, oft
ener more. Two estimates put the
loss at go per cent, one at Is per cent
and one at total In Missouri there
has been heavy loss on live stock, the
amount being estimated several times
at so per cent, and most of the esti-
mates of loss on corn are good deal
over one-half; several of them are to-
tai. In Nebraska damage to cattle Is
rare. Damage to corn is estimated at
all the way from Is to so per cent,
with the larger number of estimates
leaning towards the worst reports.
There is still room to hope" says
the Journal, that prompt and copious
rains will greatly reduce the loss,
but it is impossible to resist the con-
clusion that very much of the damage
is now beyond remedy and that within
the affected region the loss may con-
siderably exceed 300,00O,0o0 bushels
of corn. There has been some damage
TO corn outside of this region, but it
losses to some of the other cereals and
to live stock within this region, but
the information is not full enough yet
to warrant an estimate of the
amount"
