THE CORN CROP.
Secretary OF Agriculture Returns
From Tour of Belt.

SCCECtdEy W
From Tour of Belt.
Traer. Ia, Aug. 10.-Secretary Will
son of the Department of Agriculture
has completed his tour of the corn belt
and is resting for a few days on his
farm at this place.
1.-The weather of the future" said
the Secretary to an Associated Press
reporter, Twill have as much to do with
regard of the final yield of corn, and
final figures cannot be given by any
body at the present time. Late corn
will be benefited by favorable fall
weather, and early corn, growing un-
der the best conditions. will fill out bet
ter with sufficient rainfall in the near
future.
Il observe that the corn is seriously
injured in a good many locaB<ies in
the corn belt. l observe also that the
corn is quite promising in other local
tiles"
This the secretary ascribed to the
varying system pursued. Less injury
followed where rotation in crops has
been observed than where the land is
perpetually cultivated.
"a common observa tion regarding
the corn crop this year is that the
tassel upon coming out has been with
cred by the heat and failed to fertilize
through the silk. This is the case more
or less in all the fields that I have
visited, but pollination has been much
more perfectly performed where the
soil was full OF organic matter from
plowed under grass roots, than where
corn has been grown so long that the
organic matter has been oxidized--
burned out of the soil. Where there
was plenty of organic matter in the
soil. and thorough cultivation had, the
effects of the heat upon the tassel has
been to a great extent balanced by the
amount of moisture that the plant
could get to offset evaporation. In
cases where the ground iwas saturat-
ed by excessive rains in the spring (and
this occurred in many fields), the roots
spread near the surface. They could
not get into the saturated soil, be-
cause they could not find oxygen
there"

OHIO WILL PROCEED.
Action to BE Instituted Against the
Steel Corporation.

Columbus, O., Aug. 10.-It develops
that action against the United States
Steel Corporation is contemplated by
the Secretary of State. 1t is believed
by that official that the United States
Steel Corporation is doing business in
Ohio contrary to law. The corporation
has never been admitted as a foreign
corporation to do business in Ohio. al
though the property controlled by It in
this state is represented by several
million dollars worth of stock, upon
which, if the Ohio companies actually
have been absorbed. the state is en-
titled to collect a tax of one-tenth of
one per cent, under what is known as
the Hard law, the constitutionality of
which was recently sustained
by the Supreme Court. The
Secretary of State has come to the con-
clusion that the United States Steel
Corporation is liable. as foreign cor
poration, to the payment of the tax
which would amount to probably more
than 100000. Should the plea be made
that the Ohio companies have not been
absorbed and are operating under their
original charters the United States
Steel Corporation will be attacked un-
der the Valentine antitrust law, which
prohibits the operation of companies
holding the stocks of other companies
in trust.

London, Aug. 1O.-The great Unionist
celebration at Blenheim to-day was
favored by the most pleasant weather
It's object was to celebrate the third
Unionist victory in the bye-elections.
One hundred and twenty members of
Parliament were present with some B.
600 delegates from Conservative and
Liberalist associations throughout the
country, and others present made
total of about 1000 persons. Mr.. Bal
four and Mr.. Chamberlain delivered
addresses, after luncheon, in the open
air. Both were accorded a warm re-
ception from the enthusiastic crowd
During the course of his remarks
Mr. Baulfour said that the erstwhile
alliance between the Conservatives and
Liberal Unionists was now an indissol
uble union, and the country was not
so moonstruck as to confide the con-
duct of public affairs to those who, so
far as they had uttered any clear note
had uttered it against their own coun-
try.
Mr.. Balfour proceeded to compare
the opposition tactics to the sniping,
guerilla warfare in South Africa and
said both would end at no distant date.
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke in a similar
VEIN He said the alliance of the par
ties had resulted in building up truly
national party. The Liberal party
were now only the "rump" party. They
had sung in the pro-Boer mud so deep
that not even the Liberal Imperialists
could extricate them. Even the latter
were not free from heresies and until
they were free the Unionist party did
not want their communion.

RANGER TO GO.
confirmation of Report That She
Will Proceed to Isthumus on Pa
cific Side.

,h'eAOh OA NcpOrt lnat She
Will Proceed to Isthumus on Pa
cific Side.
Washington, Aug. 10.-The Navy De-
partment officials confirm the press re-
port from San Diego, Cal, that the
United States ship Ranger has been
ordered to get in readiness for a trip
to Panama. No order, directing her to
leave for the Isthmus, has yet gone for
ward.
The Ranger is a small cruiser of ,020
tons displacement, and has been engag-
ed for some time past in surveying
work on the Pacific coast and in Cen
tral American waters. 1t is very pos
sible that her services at the seat of
trouble will suffice and that a battle
ship will not be obliged to make the
trip down from the north.
The Ranger has a complement of 81
officers and 127 men, and is in COM
mand of Commander Wells L. Field.
AS the battleship Iowa reported her
arrival at Bremerton to-day, while the
battleship Wisconsin has not yet been
heard from it is probable that the for
mer may be substituted for the pros
pective trip to the Pacific side of the
isthmus, if it is decided to send a bat
tleShip, although the formal anonunce-
ment of the change was not made up
to noon to-day.
