PAST WEEK FAVORABLE
FOR CROPS IN ILLINOIS

The past week has generally been
favorable for the growth of vegeta-
ton and quite favorab for carrying
on seasonable farming operations.
Showers occurred in the early part
of the week. interrupting farm work
to some extent. especially in the
northern part of the state. During
the latter part of the week the
weather was fair and favorable for
haying and harvesting. which have
been pushed rapidly The weather
was warm at the beginning and end
of the week and cool in the middle of
the week, but not so cool as to re-
tard the growth of vegetation ma
terially. As a rule the showers were
light to moderately heavy, but i'm
some localities they were very heavy.
In the southern part of the state
these rains were beneficial and crops
generally show continued improve,
ment. In n few localities in the eX-
IRENE southern part of the state still
more rain begins to be needed. In
the northern district wheat and rye
harvest is in progress, and n gener-
ally good yield is promised. In the
central and southern districts these
crops are being threshed. In the
southern district the yield varies
from poor to good. and in the CEN
trail district from fair to very good.
There has. however. been some in
jury to the grain by sprouting in the
shock. Dat harvest is nearly com
pleted in the southern district and is
well advanced i'll the central district.
In tho northern district tho crnn l..
nearly ready to be harvested. and in
a few localities harvesting has begun.
Though there has been considerable
injury by lodging in the northern and
central districts and in parts of the
southern district, in many localities
the crop has recovered to n consid-
cradle extent from the injurious eff
feet of previous heavy rains. and
good average crop is promised. Corn
has made good growth during the
week. and is now generally in fine
condition and promises a large yield.
In some localities corn on the bottom
lands which were flooded is in bad
condition. Over a large part of the
state the crop is quite free from
weeds. but in many localities where
rain prevented cultivation il is very
weedy. In parts of the southern dis
trict it begins to need rain. In the
central and southern districts tassels
are beginning to form. Broom corn
prospects continue good. Consider
able hay has been made. During
part of the week the conditions were
unfavorable for hay making and the
crop put up at that time is not in
good condition. Pastures are gener-
ally excellent. Cow peas are growing
nicely. The fruit prospects have not
changed much. The apple crop is
good in some localities and very poor
in others. Peaches are very scarce,
except in few localities. Other
fruits vary from poor to good. Gar
dens are generally fine. Potatoes are
generally a large crop, but in many
localities they are rotting in the
ground.

The world has always believed in
rnonsters-great dragons of the land,
and huge serpents of the sea. AS a
rule these monsters have been fairly
peaceable, and beyond frightening peo-
pie occasionally, they have done little
recorded harm. The real ca1amities of
humanity have come from the smallest
forms of life. The minute microbe has
slain its millions upon millions. If this
microscopic form of life were depicted

An almost complete suspension of
business marked the observance to-
| day of the annual Merchants holi-
day.
The weather was fair for the oc-
casion and warm enough to inspire a
desire on the part of the average cit
izen to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to get out of town and com
mune with the breezes.
Practically all the retailers closed
their places of business and there
was little doing in the central part
of town.
In the morning there was period
of activity while people were coming
and going, but toward noon the
streets took on Sunday appearance
There was little of the activity IL
impress stranger.
Two Trains Run.
The excursion of the Retail Mer-
chants association was. of course,
the main attraction of the day. Two
specials were run over the Milwau-
kee road to Elgin. the first section
starting at GEO and the second at
$3.50, from the passenger station at
the foot of Seventeenth street. The
first section composed 10 coaches
and the second eight coaches. and
baggage cars. The first was in charge
of Conductor Watson and Engineer
Hamilton. u. l.. Hinrichs, the tri-
city passenger agent of the road,
went on the first section in general
charge of the excursion.
Most of the people went on the first
section and the coaches were pack
ed. On the second there were scarce
ly dozen people from Rock Island.
but 100 were picked up at Moline and
more were gathered at various points
enroute. No accurate count could be
made of the number who went. but
there were probably about LOO in
all.
Sunday school Picnic.
The other attraction of the morn
ing was the excursion and picnic of
the Methodist Sunday school on the
steamer c. w. Cowles to Offermann's
island. On the trip At 9 o'clock about
200 people. mostly ladies and chiI-
dren. went. In the afternoon n see
ond trip was made and the numbers
of the crowd was considerably swell
ed. OF course there were numerous
private picnicking parties. both
along the river and to inland points.

WHEAT DAMAGED BY HAIL
An Insurance Company Sustains
Heavy Loss.

The recent storm IL Kansas and Okla
bona brought havoc with the wheat
which was done BY the hail many fields
! being damaged nifty per cent This was
I CLEANED by a reporter for the Eagle.
who called yesterday on the insurance
firm Of Van Arsdale & Osborne OF this
! city. They represent The only old line
company in the United States that
handles hail Insurance. This company
has been writing hail insurance for over
twenty-five years past and has paid out
over one million dollars in hail losses
The recent storm throughout Kansas
and Oklahoma did the greatest damage
| OF any Tor many years past Mr. Van
Arsdale Informed the reporter that his
firm had been handling the business for
this company for the past six years and
that their losses on account OF the hail
storms were far greater than had ever
been sustained since they had handled
the eompany's business. and 1t was pos
sibly a record breaker. His desk was
almost covered with envelopes contain
ing reports OF hail losses from various
sections. The principal damages IN Okla
homa were done IN the following coEn-
ties: Kay. Noble. Grant Garfield. Wood,
Daily. Canadian, Otoe, Missouri and the
Popca Indian reservations; in Kansas
the damages. were more or less from as
far east as Usage City to the west line
of the state. from Sumner O. the south
to Decatur on the north.
Van Arsdale & Osborne have the most
extensive insurance business in the
southwest and the reports from their
agents Immediately after storm gives
the severity and scope Of every storm
that occurs IN their territory as well as
the government bureau could. These re-
ports begin TO come in the day after the
storm and continue until all the agents
are heard from.
They have also sustained many losses
from lightning during the recent storms
They started five adjusters from Wichita
this week who viii make their southern
territory, and expect to put another
force of adjusters out in their northern
territory soon.
The hail insurance is certainly a great
help TO farmers. especially has this been
proven during the heavy rains ard
storms of this month Many Of the
losses paid were for fifty per cent Of the
crop.
The large number of losses. while indi-
eating great destruction in the wheat
section. does also show the expansion Of
business In the scope OF territory
covered by the insurance nrm Of Van
Arsdale & Osborne. which should be
taken into consideration when considering
the extent of damages and losses sus-
tanned by farmers in the southwestern
section
