ed and the crop is generally in need of rain, although somewhat improved as compared with its conditions at the close of the previous week.
 The oats crop is generally suffering for rain in the southern states, and damage from insects continues in Texas, Okla homa, Arkansas and portions of Illinois.
 Rains are very generally needed throughout the cotton belt to germinate the very large part of the crop replanted since the cold of April IS, some of which, however, is coming up to good stands, es- pecially in the eastern districts. While planting has been delayed by dry weather in Texas, this work has made good prog ress elsewhere and is nearly completed over the northern portion of the central districts There Is extensive complaint of scarcity of seed.
 Owing to dry weather no tobacco has been transplanted in South Carolina, but plants are generally plentiful in this and other tobacco-growing states.
 The fruit outlook continues encouraging generally in all districts.

GUS condition of the country brings with
it considerable danger that in the desire
to catch fortune at f1oodtide we may
lose ourselves in materialism. A
thought of the future, loving considera-
tion Of those who come after us, may
bring about at least a short reaction
from this tendency. Then came the
question: How can we fifty give ex-
preston to our fellow men, who shall
walk our streets hundred years from
today-of our thought of them? Here
Mr.. Ehrich's plan gave delightful
answer. He suggested that series of
letters be written, addressed to the citi-
zens of Colorado Springs in the year
2OO1. These letters should come from
prominent men and women, who pos
sess an intelligent knowledge of the
present conditions of our city, as we'll
as Of it's past. In addition to these let
ters, portraits of the writers should be
inclosed in strong box made for this
purpose, also photographs of all classes of
residences, streets, industrial plants,
ladies and children in modern costumes;
in short, good reprs ssentations Of our
selves and our surroundings of today.
The box is to be made of wrought iron,
lined with zinc. A copper plate with
suitable inscription will tell the gene
rations to come what it contains and
when it is to be opened"
