good Pontiff, Pope Leo XIII. Born after

his beautiful life of SO years was filled
with noble and pious deeds. Sublime in
his conception of all things pure and good,
his far-seeing wisdom and worldwide
magnanimity rendered him the central
figure Of the age in which he lived, and
from his pontifcal throne the influence of
the grand old man of the Vatican was felt
throughout the entire world.

Condition of the Crops.

The Weather Bureau Tuesday issued
the following weekly summary of crop
conditions:
Corn has made favorable advancement
in all districts, but in the principal corn
states it is variable as to size and condi
ton, being generally small, especially in
the central and eastern districts of the
corn belt. AS a rule the crop is in good

and Texas corn is in need of rain to a
greater or less extent High winds fiat.

gion on the II and IS.
Winter wheat harvest is practically
completed, excepting few of the more
northerly states. Weather conditions
have been favorable for thrashing, which
work is in progress, the yield continuing
light.
The reports respecting spring wheat are

River Valley in Minnesota, is believed to
be beyond recovery, while heavy rains
have kept the lowlands in the southern
portion of the state flooded, and have
caused lodging in the uplands. Rains in
southeast and extreme northeast portions
of North Dakota have improved the crop
and in South Dakota spring wheat is
filling well except in the southeastern por-
ton and in Iowa, where it is unfavorably
affected by rust. In Wisconsin and Ne.
braska and on the North Pacific Coast
more favorable reports are received.
Much rust in oats is reported from the
states of the Ohio and Upper Mississippi
Valleys and Lake region, and upon the
whole the condition of the crop is below
recent anticipations. Harvest is in gen.
eral progress.
The tobacco crop is in need of rain in
portions of Ohio and Kentucky, and has
sustained some damage from high winds,
and heavy rains in Wisconsin, but else
where the outlook is promising.
Haying has continued under favorable
conditions in the lower Missouri and up
per Mississippi valleys and Lake region,
where an excellent crop is being secured.
In the Ohio Valley and Middle Atlantic
States the yield is better than expected.

Why Mosquitoes Thrive.

Entomologist L. 0. Howard of the De-
partment of Agriculture, recently said
that the enormous increase in the num-
bers of mosquitoes in the country, par
ticularly epidemic along the North Allan
tic coast, is attributable to the unusually
heavy rains of this spring and summer
He said that as result of this unusual
precipitation there are surface pools all
over the country, which largely increase
he breeding places for the mosquitoes
DR.. Howard said that there are many
natural enemies of the mosquito, but not
one has yet been discovered that can be
practically utilized in the determination
of the pest.
