FAIR CROP CONDITIONS.

The crop reports for the week, both
tate and national, are on the whole
favorable. 1t seems singular that while
bwa and parts of Texas have suffered
rom too much rain there is a consider
lble area where drouth prevails to the
injury of crops. This dry streak of
sountry comprises the northern portion
IF the central and east gulf states, and
souri, and Indiana. Corn is suffering
from lack of moisture in southern Illi-
nois and southeastern Missouri. Also in
the middle Atlantic states and to the
southwark of the Ohio river, corn has
suffered much from drouth, especially
the early planted. whereas, With oppo-
early planted has Jared the best. Gen
orally, however, all over the nation
corn has had another week Of eXcep-
tionally favorable conditions. In Iowa
corn on the we'll titled upland fields is
making rapid progress. There is still
ground for the belief that the crop in
the nation will be big one.
Our Iowa report notices that much
hay and oats have been spoiled in eX-
tensive areas, but the high average
yield of oats on dry lands will partially
compensate for loss of this grain.
Farmers in Iowa have been extreme
~ busy in an effort to harvest and save
small grain and hay. All of our eN-
changes notice this and also the diff

when frequent and damaging rains have
interfered with their plans. AT pres

More SILK Worm Experiments.

LDry Goods Reporter.
One of Secretary Wilson's pet hob
bies is about to be given practical dem
onstrsttion in the attempt to raise silk
worms in the medium ATTITUDES of the
United states. at last congress has
appropriated $4,000 TO carry on the
experiments. which Will at least deter
mine whether silk growing in this
country is practical. People who are
closely connected with the silk import
ing interests appear to be rather doubt
full regarding the success of this Ven
Iture Past failures are held up and re-
garded by some as proof positive that
silk growing in this country will never
be profitable.
Under Secretary Wilson'S direction
these sill<-worm experiments will be
conducted with a view OF inducins
farmers and the inhabitants of the VII
lagos to add silk growing TO their othel
sources of income. In China, Japan
France and Italy much of the labor
connected with raising silk worms Is
performed by women and children. who
do not devote exclusive attention to SILK
raising but take care of the worms In
connection with their other duties. In
the past there has been no question re-
garding the fitness of our climate: null
berry trees. which furnish the principal
foot for the worms thrive in the central
sections of the country.
The tending of the worms requires
minute attention. readily given in the
European and Oriental countries. Past
failures here have arisen from the vast
amount of labor necessary to make silk
growing a success. 1t is certain that
American silk manufacturers are wait
ing for American grown silk. The mar
ket already exists. so no expense neeo
be incurred to create one.
When the magnitude of the American
manufacture of silk is taken into con
sidcration. it seems strange that TINS
matter of producing raw material here
has not been given more attention. The
other silk producing nations. excepting
| England, produce a large portion OF the
raw silk used on their looms. Fol
wears France has led the world in silR
production, and still claims that dis
tinction, altho this country is coming
up the scale rapidly. AT this time the
United states ranks second rs a sill
producer.
1T now remains for Secretary Wilson
to demonstrate that silk raising i:
profitable and the country VIII nave
another industry Offering great posi-
bilities. American silk looms now con
sumo more that S45.000.000 worth o
raw silk annually. Certainly an item
worth consideration.

himself looked forward. Regarding

of their ambition. That contamination
would not be delayed: if for no other
reason, because it might relieve the
government of the tremendous burden
of responsibility involved in the present
situation, btu all must understand that
the government would not be rushed or
hustled in to any condition which was
not warranted by the circumstances.

Great Westerns Pacific Line,

st. paul flouecE IleSs.J
The news that Senator Clark and
President Stickney of the Chicago
Great Western have joined hands in the
construction of a new transcontinental
line extending from St Paul and Chi
cago VIA Sioux City and Salt Lake to
Los Angeles is such fresh news that
it requires confirmation. According to
one telegraphic story from Sioux city
the Chicago Great Western, now on
its way to Omaha, is to be extended to
Sioux city, crossing there on the great
combination bridge. Then, it is said.
the only gap to be filled is from Sioux
City to Scranton, Colo. Wherever the
last named place is in Colorado, it IN
a long way from Sioux Clay. The
Chicago Great Western would afford n
very convenient access to Chicago and
ST Paul for Senator Clark's road, and
Stickney is always seeking new worlds
to conquer, but whether he and Senator
Clark have hitched teams in the way
indicated remains to be seen.

PROFITS OF RICE GROWING.

The growing of rice in southern and
central Louisiana and southeastern
Texas is getting beyond the expert
mental stage and has been productive of
returns of the most encouraging nature.
Rice growing requires irrigation-wa-
ter, and an abundance of it is needed.
The crude methods of supplying this
moisture have hitherto interfered with
added to this a drouth last year de-
stroyed or shortened the crop. Rice
planters, however, are mastering the
situation by establishing more complete
irrigation systems. Late rains also have
aided in assuring the crop this year.
A we'll posted observer. ID. A. Wiley.
who writes from the field, states that
the man who wishes to become a rice
farmer can secure an ample fund of
statistics from any of the various cen-
tiers to enable him to calculate closely
on the tilint; tract of ten. 100, or TO-
600 acres, for he can find companies
who have invested half million dol
lars to purchase and prepare farms
of the last-named size for the industry,
but the majority of the growers have
confined their individual effort to fifty
or 100 acres.
Taking a group of the 100-acre pro-
iects and averaging the results, the eX-
penses are as follows: Flowing and Gull
tivating. 81 an acre; seeding. $3.50;
harvesting, threshing and hauling crop
to mill or railroad station, SIS. Levee
work and other items swell the total
cash outlay of making the crop to $50
an acre. The owner contracts with the
irrigation company to furnish sutii-
Gent water for the season for one-fifth
of the yield unless he controls his wa
terworks, which for 100-acre farms cost
from 81 900 to $1,000. The harvest, of
course. varies considerably 1t may be
ten barrels of 1862 pounds each to the
acre. a specially favorable season may
too, fiuctuates. Basing it at $3.50 per
barrel for the minimum yield, the far
mer obtains $500 from his rice alone. De-
Quoting interest at 6 per cent on the
cost of his land at $50 an acre, taxes,
and insurance, he nets profit of 5000.
But to this he can add $780, the value
of the straw and bran left after thresh-
ing. Thus so per cent of the original
land value may be paid by the proceeds
Of one years harvest. Usually enough
vegetables, perhaps fruit, are raised for
the family supply, and the tendency to
diversity is becoming yearly more pro-
nounced; for the energetic grower has
an opportunity to produce some other
staple during the half-year when the
rice is not under cultivation. The profit
NAV average nearer $25 or $50 an acre
from all sources of income than the es-
innate given.
Nearly every one who enters upon
this work becomes an enthusiast. The
fact that rice is a staple article of food,
and that the area in which it can be
grown is limited, adds to the courage of
these growers. They feel certain that
they will reap large profits.
