our WONDERFUL CROPS
Production of the Farms This Year
Breaks All Records.

The COT ntry's grain yield this year
will not only break all previous re-
cords, but it also bids fair to estab-
fish a figure that it will be difficult for
any future year to equal. The various.
crops have now reached a stage where
they are practically safe from the
yagaries of the weather, and where
the reports Of acreage and conditions
may be accepted as accurately indi-
eating the actual harvest.
The corn crop will, Of course, sur
pass all others in its volume and
value. The most conservative esti-
mate places the yield at 2,495,0S1 600
bushels. or practically 100000, OoV
bushels larger than last year. me
first year in which the corn crop
reached a total Of 1000, 000. 900 bushels
was 1870. In only six Of the 81 years
since than has the actual corn har-
vest been in eXces OF 2,O0O,OOo, 0O0'
bushels. The present corn crop Will
surpass all of these record-breaklng
years by something like a quarter OF
a billion bushels.
So much attention has been given
to the enormous corn crop that the
great yield Of other cereals has been
largely overlooked. Only one crop will
show a yield smaller than that OF last
year. The wheat crop Is estimated at
610.611, 900 bushels, as against 49,
400, 900 bushels harvested last year.
The wheat crop Of 1901, howeve', was
a record breaker. The crcp this year
is largely in excess Of the average
yield. The estimate of 610,611.OO0
bushels compares with 522,2 30 900
bushels in 1900, 547, sc 900 bushels in
1899, $50, 149, 900 bushels in 1896.
The indications are that the other
important cereal crops-oats, rye, bar
ley and buckwheat-will all be in ex-
cess of last years figures. The esti-
mated yield Of oats Is 6S6.277, 900 bush
els. as compared with 1860 900
bushels in 1901; the estimated yield
of rye is 31,S46, 900 bushels, as against.
30.3A5, 900 bushels in 1901; in barley
the estimate Is 100, 100, 900 bushels, as
against los, 933, 900 bushels last year;
while in buckwheat It is 15.376,00O
bushels, as against 15,125,o C0 bushels
in 1901.
When the figures for all six OF these
crops are added together a most I'M
pressive total Is shown. The total esv
timated yield for the six Is no less
than 4,141, Gil, 900 bushels. The high
est total ever shown before was B.
$40, 610, 900 bushels.
1t is difficult to overestimate. as a
prominent financier stated a few days
ago, what these enormous crops mean
as affecting the prosperity of this
country. They are the most solid OF
the foundations beneath the super
structure of prosperity that the Uni
ted States is now enjoying. Every
channel of trade will receive its share
Of the enormous increase in ~purchas-
ing power that has been added to this
country through these immense crops.

WILL SETTLE STRIKE.
Report That Coal Operators VIII
Open Mines Soon.

A Monday morning special from
Scranton. Pa, says:
This is the beginning Of a week
which it is generally believed will put
to a test the claim of the operators
that they will be enabled to start up
their collieries, if given protection, and
the counter claim Of the United Mine
Workers organization as expressed IN
Wednesdays resolutions that the strik-
ers will not eturn to work without
concessions, even though the entire
military Of the United States should
be sent here to protect them. With a
determination to prove their claim.
the operators have been during the
past week making a supreme effort to
secure men. That they have succeeded
to some extent is evidenced by an
nouncements made with some posi-
tiveness that various collieries will re-
sumo operations in the course OF a few
days. The Delaware & Hudson Com
pany will make a start at the Belle
vue. The Green Ridge Coal Company
will open up its Gree. SiGse colleries,
probably Tuesday or Wednesday. but
assuredly, some day this week. Other
companies say they are figuring on a
resumption at certain collieries, but
declined to give the location. Claim is
also made on the operators side that
the forces at collieries already work
ing are to be largely increased during
the week. The United Mine Workers
leaders continue to assert that the mil
itary can do nothing towards inducing
men 70 return to work., and that all
the men who could be induced to go
back to work without concessions are
already back. Strike disorder is now
almost wholly wanting. During the
past two days the soldiers have had
nothing to do further than their regu-
lar patrol duty. not a single call haT-
ing com to any Of the three regiments
in this country to deal with disorder
