(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept l2.-Secretary
Wilson, who returned last night from
trip through the West, to-day summarized
the agricultural conditions in the States
he visited. He said:
There will be good corn crop. Corn
is substantially out of the way OF the
frost The corn crop in parts Of Kansas,
Nebraska and Indiana probably is the fin
est on record There has been more than
hundreds of millions Of dollars depending
on the ripening Of this crop this year
than the ordinary person has ever real
lied. While the crop may not be a record
breaker the quality of the corn is splen-
did, and will, the exception of the South
ern States, the yield per acre is very
heavy. In the South the drought has
somewhat affected the corn crop. The
wheat crop OF the West this year is
also very fine. and what may be con-
sidered as really the most important crop
of all-the grass crop-is exceedingly
good.
1.-THE census tells US that there has
been a great increase during the past
ten years in the number of cattle in the
United States This information. taken
together with the fine crop OF grass.
insures lower prices of meat. I do not
believe that the price Of meat. however,
will ever be a low as 1T has been in the
past. for the simple reason that the Amer
lean people are more prosperous than ever
before, and are eating more meat than
ever before. However. the exceedingly
high prices of meat will be thing of
the past as soon IS the present feeders"
get faItened up to a beef condition. An
ether thing that will tend to keep the
price of meat a little above the former
low price'sfs the demand OF England for
our meats.
II have Just received from Texas
report which states that experiments
for the eradication of the Mexican cotton
ball worm have demonstrated that this
disastrous insect will not touch Egyp
tan cotton. The department has been
experimenting with the raising of EGyp-
tan cotton for several years with marked
success. If this last report proves to be-
true it will undoubtedly result in the
planting Of Egyptian cotton in Texas In
the future.
What may be considered as another
important step in agriculture is the pro-
gress the department is making in the
development of a fine tobacco filler Sew
eral years ago the department began its
work in the tobacco industry by endeav-
oring to develop a wrapper tobacco OF
the finest quality. We are making these
experiment in Ohio and Texas. In the
development of filler tobacco attention
only is paid to the aroma This aroma
is very often found in Havana tobacco
but not always owing to the deteriora-
ton Of the crop"

the scene OF trouble on the Isthmus Of
Panama had sailed for their destina atoms
a telegram was received from Rear
Admiral Casey, comma nding the Pa cific

characterized his prompt hurrying to the
scene of the terrible disaster at Marti-

the Cincinnati, had started for Colon
within a few hours after the receipt of
the Navy Departments orders. and
cabled Secretary Moody to that effect

In view Of the reports that political
significance attaches to this latest dis
patch of naval force to the Isthmus of
Panama. statement was gained to-day
from a high and unquesuonable official
source to the effect that the protection. of
American interests and the endorsements
of treaty guarantees are the only two
considerations involved in the sending of
additional Warships to Panama and
Colon.
The Department has decided not to
send the Panther with the battalion Of
marines to the Isthmus unless Com
mander Mclean, upon the arrival of the
Cincinnati at Colon, inform the depart
ment that the men are needed.
Rear-Admiral Silas Casey, commander
in chief of the Pacific station. will go
down to Panama aboard the Wisconsin

forces upon his arrival there.
