CONDITION OF THE CROPS
Government Weather Bureau Issues
Its Weekly Summary.
Corn Reported Making Favorable
Progress I'm Central and West-
ern Portion of the Belt.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop condi-
lions is as follows:
Corn is making favorable progress in
the central and western portions of the
corn belt, but in the upper Ohio valley
and middle Atlantic states the outlook
is less promising. While the improve
ment has been generally decided in the
states of the Missouri and upper Missis-
sippi valleys, in the more northerly por-
lions of these states the crop is need Of
warmth.
Rains have checked somewhat the
progress of spring wheat harvest, which,
however, is now general throughout the
spring wheat region. In North Dakota
recent weather has been favorable for
the development of late grain, while in
southern Minnesota rust, fly and chinch
bugs have seriously affected the crop.
Harvest Is advancing rapidly in Oregon,
and will soon begin in Washington.
Dat harvest is nearly finished except
, in New York, where it has just begun.
The reports generally indicate that
yields are disappointing.
In Pennsylvania and New England to-
bacco is in need of sunshine and warmth,
and in Ohio its condition is only fair,

RECOMMENDS MANYCHANGES
Committee on Laws Reports at Con-
vention of Printers.
Suggestions Arouse Considerable Dis
cussion Among the Delegates
Present.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE real bust
ness of the convention of the Interna-
tional Typographical union began Tues
day with the presentation of the report
Of the committee on laws. The report
contained numerous recommendations
for changes in the laws, among them be-
ing suggestion to make permanent the
monthly assessment of five cents per
capita for defense fund as provided by
the Los Angeles convention. The sug-
gestion aroused considerable debate, but
ultimately was adopted.
There also was considerable discus
sion of a proposition to permit local
unions to fix the time allowed to appren-
tices to learn the use of typesetting ma
chimes at three months. A substitute
providing that no one who is not mem
Der of the order shall be permitted to
learn the use Of machines in union
offices was offered by Delegate Law
head, of Ohio. Considerable criticism of
schools for teaching the use of ma
chimes was INDUCED in, and it was
argued that while this speciality may be
speedily taught the instruction thus
given does not cover any other Of the
necessary branches of the printers art.
The substitute was lost u to "a. A
proposition to make the time for learn
ing the machine six months instead of
three also was voted down. The report
of the committee on this proposition
then was adopted.
When the convention adjourned at
noon for the day 10 of the 70 recommen-
dations made by the committee on laws
| had been concurred in
The afternoon was spent in excursions
to Mount Vernon, Arlington and other
points of interest
