cRoPs ARE LARGE.
Yield Of United States Farms Esti-
mated TO Be Worth s2,5oo, 900, 900.

The New York Sun says: The un-
sympathetic farmers of the West and
South are so busy adding up long col
umnes of figures--a task which en-
ploys them far into the night these
days-that the doleful cries from Wall
street go utterly unheeded. They are
trying to puzzle out just how much
Of the $2,5OO, 100000 that the enor-
nous crops promise to yield is going
into their individual pockets.
They have got so FAR in their cal
culations that their wives and daught-
ers are already negotiating with the
piano agent the sewing machine
vendar, and the piano lamp man.
Steam heat and electric lights will
probably follow the last addition.
hTe estimates show that It is rea-
sonable to expect a corn crop worth
on the farm $1,OS5, 100000, a cotton
crop worth $492OOOOOO, and an oat
crop worth $275,5OO,OOO. These total

els of corn yielding $1OOOOO,OOO, and
53,00O,0O0 bushels of oats, worth

Trouble More Than a Year old.
The trouble in the little church at
Roseland has been growing for over
a year. It has its beginnings, the
anti-Greigg faction claims, when the
Rev. Mr. Greigg first took charge of
the church, almost two years ago. At
that time plans had been formulated
for building a new church at Rose
land to replace the present small
wooden edifce The projected build
ing was to COST in the neghborhood
of $4,000. II is assorted that the aew
pastor stopped tho building opera

cation should have a larger church,
and that he would be able to procure
funds for It's erection, either from a
