STILL HOPEFUL.
Secretary Wilson Takes Cheer
full View of Situation
As Regards the Cereal Crops of
the United States.

New York, July pa dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Mr. Wilson, secretary of agriculture
has favored the Tribune with a talk on
the effects of the long continued drouth
on the growing crops of the west. He
does not take so gloomy a view of the
agricultural prospects between the Al
legheny and the Rocky Mountains as do
some of the so-called experts who are
not connected with the government ser
vice. Nor yet does Mr.. Wilson attempt
to minimize the injury already done
and that will increase unless there is
greater precipitation of moisture dur
ing the next few weeks in the vast
stretch of country between the CONT
mental ranges. While he acknowledges
that the hard wheat belt of the North
west has been damaged, he does not
yet despair Of an average yield of corn
In the corn belt, which he defines as
extending east from the Missouri river
to the Alleghenies, embracing the states
of Iowa, Wisconsin. the northern part
of Missouri and all of Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio. The most regrettable loss
from his view point is much of the
macaroni wheat crop. For the first
time an experiment had been made this
year in the production of this variety
of wheat on a large scale in the United
States.
The secretary is especially hopeful of
an average corn crop. He says it will
not be a record breaker, or "a bumper
in the parlance of the agricultural de-
partment but at this moment the pros
poets favor a fair average yield. Mr.
Wilson said:
IF something could be done to in
duce the farmers in the corn belt to
extend their period of cultivation about
two weeks this year beyond the usual
limit, it would look for a big CROP
