The Crops in the West.

The government reports indicate that
the corn crop will be light. in fact. the
smallest with two or three exceptions
in 20 years or more. This latest report
iC little less than startling the coun-
try had been led to believe that the
very severe. after all. The crop. it is
now stated, will fall about 500, 900, coo
bushels below the great crop of a year
ago. This is a real calamity though it
does not affect the prosperity of the
country. 1t means that the price of
corn will be higher and that there will
be i smaller amount for export. 1t
also means higher pork. The farmers
of the West will lose little, if any
thing, by the harvest shortage.
Fut there is remarkable offset to
the small corn crop in the great wheat
crop which the goodness of nature has
supplied. 1t will be about 12500O. coo
bushels larger than in 1900. and will be
the largest with one exception in our
history. This huge product has al
ready been assured ready market
more quickly than ever before in a
year Of abundant harvest. Europe s
crops have turned out as a whole de
hcient Russia in particular failing to
make good its earlier promise, and the
continent has been forced to buy
wheat from America on an absolutely
unexampled scale. Not only did last
months exports of wheat and flOuI
surpass those of any previous August
hut they have never been approach
in the most active shipping period OF
the past. The increase i'm last month
~ wheat and flour exported has beer
greater by fully $s,0OO,O 900 than the de-
crease in corn. and the crOwning fac,
of this singular harvest outcome is
that the largest profit from the whea,
trades good fortune has been enjoyed
hy farmers in the very states wnert
the corn crop failed.

The Veterans a. Cleveland.

Not only among the veterans them
the 35th Annual Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at
Cleveland, Ohio, this week. would have
attracted much more attention had it
not been for the tragic event at Buff
falo. To the old soldiers it has been n
comrade, their most distinguished and
best beloved brother. who was shot
down in such dastardly fashion and who
has been fighting that grim foe, death,
whom he faced with them upon many
Il bloody field in the South. II is not
strange their hearts have been in
buffalo rather han in Cleveland.
This meeting which the President
was to attend. had every promise of
being exceptionally large and success
full. The place of meeting was easy
of access and in state famed for
fervid loyalty. But because the in
tcrcst in the encampment Was some
what obScCred. it does not mean any
lcsseninG of the interest of the Amer
lean people in this great organiza ton.
The reduction of the total member
ship from 1000. last year, to 269 600
this year. shows in a striking manner
the thinning of the ranks of those who
saved the Union. \ decade or two more
will bring the survivors down to q hand
full. AS they become fewer and fewer
the honor and consideration in which
they are held will become greater and
greater. Their services will never be
forgotten while the republic endures
The record they made grows brighter
and brighter, every year. Nothing can
dim it or detract from the glory they
won. The story of their sacrifice and
valor will inspire loyalty and patrio-
tism in the hearts of their children s
children through centuries to come. In
their old age as III their youth they are
Il bulwslk of the nation.
