ANOTHER GOOD CROP.

The report Of Secretary Coburn, that
Of the United States government and
also the one put forth by the Americas
Agrlculturist all agree that there is ev-
cry Indication at present that one more
win be added to the long and uninter-
rupted series or good crops with which
the country has been favored. It is es-
pecially gratifying to note that in both
estimates for the entire Union, Kansas
occupies a high place-on wheat the
highest in the government report. AL
this means much to the farmers and es-
pecially to those Of Kansas.
The wheat crop Of the United States
Ga 1900 was 522. .229. 500 bushels. a falling
of from the crop of 1899 of 25,O74.34l
bushels; but the average farm price Of
wheat in 1900 was s.5 cents per bushel
higher than in 1899. This made tAe
smaller crop Of 1900 worth nearly $4,000
900 more than the larger crop of 1899.
The corn crop of 1900 was one Of the
four largest ever gathered. being 2.l05.
10z.51s bushels. The price was 5.4 cents
per bushel more than IN 1899 and the ag-
gregate value Of the corn crop was S122.
O00, 600 more last year than in the pre-
vious year. The cat crop of 1900 was one
Of the largest on record. being estima-
ted at S09. .125.9S9 bushels. The barley
crop was 5s.s25 s33 bushels. rye %, ,ss5. .927
bushels. potatoes $40. .s26. .ss7 bushels, ana
hay 50.llO,s ,s06 tons.
The hay crop was the smallest. with
one exception, since 1883, but the aver
age price was $3.50 per ton. as compared
with s727 per ton in 1899. SO that the
value of the hay crop in 1900 was S445
Fe9 S7g or TSS3. 500 600 more than the larger
crop in 1898 The total value Of the
eight staple farm products in 1900 was
1851. ACC, ,5S2, an increase Of S24s. .43O. .29S
over the value of the same eight prod
ucts fin 1899.
Our exports Of wheat in 1900 were
about 10. 600. 900 bushels less than in 1899.
and less in value by about $11.000.00O.
But in wheat flour there was a gain II
value of over s2.Oo0.000 and the gain in
exports Of corn was about 50. 10000

Ministers Decide That $500, 100000

Pekin. April 12-The committee Of min

subject is thus far incomplete and it will
