FINE CROP OF CORN.
Makes Excellent Progress During the
Past Week in the Principal
Corn States.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
A drought prevailing in the previous week
from Virginia and the Carolinas westward
to Arkansas, has been largely broken, the
rains being excessively heavy over the
western part of the region named. Drought
however, continues in portions of the lower
Ohio valley, the Caroliras and northern
Georgia. The central and northern por-
tons OF Texas have again received very
heavy rains, and. the lake region and the
northern portion of the middle Atlantic
states have also suffered to some extent
from excessive moisture. The protracted
drought in the central and southern Rocky
mountain districts continues with in
creased severity, ard portions Of Kansas,
Nebraska and the North Pacific coast re-
gion are in need of rain. Generally the
temperature conditions have been highly
favorable.
AS a whole. corn has made excellent prog
ress in the principal corn producing states,
and an unusually fine crop is promised. In
small part of the lower Ohio valley and in
southeastern Missouri, central and west
ern Kansas, Tennessee and Virginia a
part of the crop is. however, suffering
from drought
Some winter wheat remains to be har-
vested in extreme northern districts, where
harvesting has been much delayed by
rains, and considerable damage has been
done to wheat in stack and shock. Harvest
ing is in general progress on the North
Pacific coast under favorable conditions.
Spring wheat harvest has been some-
what delayed by showers in Minnesota,
where harvesting is in progress as far
north as the middle portion of the state.
In North Dakota, high winds anG, hail have
lodged and damaged spring wheat slightly
and rust is appearing on the late sown.
The crop is ripening very rapidly in the
Dakotas, somewhat too rapidly in South
Dakota. In Oregon and Washington spring
wheat has made favorable advancement.
Oat harvest in the northern districts has
progressed under more favorable condi-
t1ons than in the previous week, and is
nearing completion, except in the more
easterly sections.

were brothers. One of their horses
died from CHAMBERS and about two
weeks later one of the brothers sick

on the body and some thought that
he had smallpox, although some of
the most marked symptoms of this
disease were not present. Not until

Culture Of Pine.

An experiment in the cultivation Of
pine is being carried on at the Itas-
ca State park, under the direction OF
Attorney General w. B. Douglas,
which will undoubtedly be of value
to the entire Northern part of the
state.
Two years ago Mr.. Douglas secured
an appropriation of $50 year from
the state legislature for the planting
OF trees in the park, and experiments
were made both in raising pine from
seed and in transplanting. The prin-
ciPle object of Mr.. Douglas recent
trip to the park was to see how the
trees planted last year and this
spring were getting along.
The experiments with raising pine
from seed gave very unsatisfactory
results, but the results obtained in
transplanting pine trees have been
far better than anticipated.
Twenty-three of twenty-five pine
trees transplanted last year are alive
and doing well. When it was seen last
year that the transplanting of small
pine trees promised to give better re-
suits than raising pine from seed,
Mr.. Douglas consulted with Prof.
Green of the Minnesota agricultural
school, and prominent nursery men,
and after obtaining all the informa
ton possible from the reports of ex-
periments carried on in Germany de-
cided to try it on larger scale.
Charging Too Much.
Warden Wolfer of the Saltwater
prison has discovered that several
dealers throughout the state have
been selling prison Irvine at a larger
profit than is allowed by law.
The warden reported this to the
board of control, and was instructed
to make a complete investigation.
Evidence has been secured against
six or seven dealers, who will be
prosecuted.
The board also has men in the field
looking up other reported violations
of the law, which provides that no
dealer shall make profit of more
IMAM L cent per pound on the sale OF
prison Irvine.
The penalty for violation OF the law
is fine OF not less than $25 nor more
than $500 for each offense.
The state has been selling three
grades of Irvine, the highest grade
selling for 1879 cents per pound; the
next for 11A cents, and the lowest
for 9M cents.
The dealer is allowed to add the
freight to the point of shipment and
/ cent per pound for profit to this
price.
