Monthly Report of Department of
Agriculture of Situation August
Shows Corn, Oats and Wheat All
Better Than in Most Previous
Years for Decade.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The month

of agriculture shows the
condition of corn Aug. l, S6.5 as
compared with SIS, July l, 1902, and
81, Aug l, 1901; S75 the correspond

provement during the month of seven
points in Wisconsin, four in Ohio,
Illinois, Kansas, three in Iowa and
eleven in Nebraska. This subStan-
tial Improvement in the most import
ant corn states would undoubtedly
have resulted in a marked improve
ment in the average for the entire
country but for the fact that IA south
ern states, containing 36.S per cent
o. the total corn acreage, show an
average decline for July of 1917
points.
The winter wheat crop is estimated
at about 3SOOC0,OOO bushels or an
average of 1873 bushel per acre. If
the estimate is higher than was indi-
Gated by the previous reports of con-
ditiOn, it is due to the fact that the
crop is turning out somewhat better
than was expected. The estimated
average yield per acre in the princi-
Pal western states is:
Kansas ST., Missouri 1872, Califor-
mia Is, Indiana IS Ohio 1915, Ne
braska %; Michigan ia
The average condition of spring
wheat August /, was S9.7 as com
pared with 92.4 last month. SOB Au-
gust l, 1901, and 56.4 at the CORE
spending date in 1900. The ten-year
average is so. There was a decline
during July of two points in Mime
sota 3 in North Dakota, 8 in Nebraska
and II in Iowa. On the other hand
the crop is South Dakota was report
eGed one point higher than the high
figure reported last month and the

ia and Nebraska, Notwithstanding
the decline, is still considerably above

The average condition of oats is
1914, against 921 last month, 1876 on
August l, 1901, IS the corresponding
date in 1900. The ten-year average
is 1922. There has been an improve
ment of one point in Indiana points
III New York, in Pennsylvania, 8 in
Ohio. On the other hand there has
been a decline of one point in Micht-
gan and Minnesota, 2 in Illinois, 2 in
Wisconsin, in Nebraska and u in
Iowa. All the principal oat states.
however, still have their average con
dition comparing fayorably with the
ten-year averages.
The condition of barley barely de
clined 3.5 points during July, but on
August l was still 3.3 higher than a
year ago. Spring rye improved IL
points in July and on Aug. l, was 6.2

"Second--He trusted the people. He
was one of the common people. He
knew them and believed in them. He
had a finely constructed nature, an ad-
mirable disposition. On that basis the
principles of Christianity wrought in
him generous appreciation OF others.
A wise trust of the people is always
source of strength. But cynicism
and bitterness are factors of weakness.
"He trusted God This was the real
secret of his great success. He believed
in God. He accepted Jesus Christ
through whom God was revealed. He
believed in the church. 1t begun its
fashioning work upon his character in
boyhood and continued to mould him
to the end. IIis religion did great
things for him. 1t made him IA man Of
incorruptible integrity. 1t inwrought
in him absolute honesty. 1t made him
a clean politician. In all the political
campaigns in which he participated.
either as a candidate for office or as an
advocate of party success. no breath or
suspicion ever tainted his name. All
good citizens ought to take an interest
in political affairs. We look to the
young men with this ilustrious example

''Mr. McKinley's religion produced a
deep conviction in his heart that
righteousness is the chief attainment
for men and nations. He believed in
right and put conscience as well as
energy into all his work. His religion
made him model husband. 1t filled
him with feeling that his great re-
sponsibilities We're of God.
I'VE do not forget that he was man
of brilliant parts. that he was not de-
ficient in education. that he gave pains
taking study to all the problems with
which he had to deal, that he had
great shrewdness and tact: great kind
ness and unfailing courtesy; but after
all his success as politician, statesman
and representative American would
have been impossible without the high
qualities of heart that gave such a
charm to his character.
This is the great lesson for young
men to learn; one they are apt to for
get, that noble qualities of the heart
bring friends. give self control and
inspire trust and hence lead to the
highest measure of success"
