EXPERTS LOOK OVER THE fIflDs
OATS SOMEWHAT SHORT AMI
CORN WILL BE A LIT.
TIE OFF.

st. Paul, Aug. 1S.-Despite the MANY
and varying estimates of this Years
crop given by the experts, the con.
census seems to be that the wheat
crop will be an average one. and thu,
as far as the Western States are con.
cerned other crops, with the exception
of the corn crop, will come I'D to Iast
years mark.
Late in July II. V. Jones of Mime.
apolis estimated the wheat CROP OF the
Northwestern states at l47,3OOOOO
bushels. Since that estimate was an.
nounced other experts have gone over
the country, and they figure that the
crop will be considerably in excess Of
this. For Instance, Col. G. d. Rogers.
secretary of the Minneapolis chamber
of commerce, is quoted as stating Lhat
the crop will
Reach 100000, 900 Bushels.
The Duluth Commercial Record
figures that the crop will be in the
neighborhood of 1880 900 bushels.
On top of these estimates comes the
report from the party of Twin CITY
men who are interested in the crop.
and who but recently returned from an
extensive trip of inspection. They de-
clare that the wheat crop will be a
heavy one. One man stated that the
yield in some parts of North Dakota
will be as heavy this year as it was in
1895, which was a banner year.
While many of the fields were ex-
tremely backward during the last two
weeks in July, when Mr.. Jones made
his trip, the conditions have been ex-
tremely favorable since then, and
rapid strides are reported from many
sections. Few of the party who re-
turned Saturday cared to place any
Definite Estimate
on the wheat crop, although one man
stated that he believed the crop in
North Dakota would run as high as
55,000,000 bushels. This, however in
cludes the macaroni wheat. which Dir.
Jones did not take into consideration
in making his estimate. Mr. Jones
estimate is based upon an acreage OF
12,6oo,000 acres. The government es-
innate of the acreage in the three
states is 1860
Reports for the past week have
been decidedly favorable. Grain and
elevator men at points in the three
states all report the climate conditions
n 90 tn &c
to expect short crop.
There is, however, a slight shrink
age in the corn crop. Throughout the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys the
crops are
Slightly Backward,
but the conditions are reported good
and average crops are expected.
The oats crop will probably be be-
tween and 10 per cent shorter than
last year Kansas, Nebraska and
South Dakota all report slight in
creases, ranging from per cent 10
16 per cent. In Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and North
Dakota, however, decreases of from
per cent to 80 per cent are reported
This will reduce the crop to con-
siderable extent
The rye and barley crops are saic
to be better in Kansas and South Da-
kota but the totals for all the states
show slight average decrease.
Reports from the potato crop in TINS
section are encouraging, although no
estimates are available.

sational feature about it all is that the
officials of the interior department and

years devoted themselves to devising
some scheme which would protect the
indians when their land was finally
allotted.
In several instances the very men
who are now implicated in the effort

the Indians protection. The value of

for Indian Territory, is the largest
