BIG YEAR FOR CROPS.
Harvest of Wheat, Corn and Oats Prom
ises to BE Great.

Uses to BE Great.
Nature has dealt lavishly with the
farmers throughout the grain growing
section of the country, despite the heavy
rains of June and July in some localities,
and the drought in others, and as a gen
eral proposition the crops will exceed
those OF last year, and in many instances
prove the largest for a number of years.
Not only is there promise of this being
a banner year in the amount of grain
harvested, but it comes in the face of
high prices; prices that are two or three
times as large as they were a few years
ago. The outlook is such as to bring joy
TO the grain growers everywhere.
The monthly report of the statistician
of the Department Of Agriculture shows
the condition of corn on Aug. l to have
been S6.5. as compared with S7.5 on July
1, 1902, 81 on Aug. /, 1901, S7.5 ut the
corresponding date in 1900, and a ten
year average of 81. There has been en-
improvement during the month of 10
points in Pennsylvania. in Indiana and
Wisconsin, 4 in Ohio. Illinois and Kansas,
in Iowa and IL in Nebraska. This sub
stantial Improvement in the most impor-
tant corn States would undoubtedly have
resulted in a marked Improvement in the
average for the entire country but for
the fact that fourteen Southern States,
containing 1868 per cent of the total corn
acreage, show an average decline during
July of 10.7 points.
The statistician estimates the winter
wheat crop at about $50 100000 bushels,
or an average of 1873 bushels per acre.
While this estimate is subject to revision,

crime he committed last June. In the
course OF it he gave the startling infor-
nation That he had dug grave for her
several days before he killed her, and
that she lived an hour after he had struck
be- on the head with a club. The only
reason which he assigned as a cause for
the deed was that attentions shown his
wife by other men had made him ex-
tremely jealous. He finally resolved that
she must die, and went to the river bank
about four miles from Chippewa Falls,
where he dug a shallow grave.
