CROP CONDITIONS IN THIS COUNTRY.
Wbeat Harvesting Disappointing, Corn Look.
ing Well and Fruit Promises Fair Crops.

Wneab hdtNSSuuk DISappOiuttuSg SVtu LOVhs
ing Well and Fruit Promises Fair Crops.
Wheat harvest is now under way in
the extreme west; the harvest is prac-
tically over elsewhere throughout the
section, and most of the crop is hous-
ed, although locally there are many
fields with the shocks exposed to the
weather, and in such cases loss by
sprouting is feared. Threshing has
made fair progress during the week,
with disappointing results as a rule;
the crop as a rule will be light one.
Rye is all cut; the yields are fair to
good as a rule. Complaints of rust in
oats are still received from many dis
trlcts, but the crop continues fairly
promising in the upper county, cutting
will shortly begin in the early fields.
Buckwheat has quite a large acreage;
the crop is beginning to come up to
nice stands.
Corn has done well during the
week, and, while still small, is sd-
vancing rapidly in size; there is some
report of yellowing in the lowlsnds on
account of flooding rains, and the
fields are generally very grassy; but
the outlook is not discouraging at its
worst, while in the uplands the pros
pect is very satisfactory, the excess in
heat for the past two weeks having
been very beneficial for the entire
crop. Pasture continues excellent, eX
cept in limited localities in the south
and southeast that have been slighted
in the matter of abundant moisture.
| Spring sown grasses continue to do
well. Hay harvest is in progress, with
with some loss by wet weather; the
yields are ordinary to fair, but We
far surpassed the earlier expectations
of the farmers, who looked for prac
cal failure at the close of the drought
early in the season.
Early apples are now yielding fairly
well, and the late varieties promise
good returns generally, although loss
| by dropping continues locally, reaches
are quite light everywhere, and those
now maturing are rotting badly.
Pears are very scarce.
Gardens continue weedy, but are
giving good yields. Early Irish pota-
toes are being dug, the crop being
fair to good, and late potatoes are be-
ing planted. Tomatoes are making
good growth. Raspberries are now
about over in the western counties.
Blackberries and dewberries gave {
profuse bloom earlier in the season,
and promise large yields, but at pres
ent they are ripening slowly. Grape
are reported plentiful. Melons hsv'
made fair progress during the week.

UNFAIR TO WORKING GIRLS
Mrs. Van Worst and President Roosevelt
Would Deny to Others the Outlet
,..a for Pent Up Energies. - .


Mrs. Van Worst: in .: her book, ''The
Woman who Tolls" pronounces the girl
who works from. choice, when she might
be supported by her parents, a snob,
drawing the sweeping conclusion that she
is prompted to effort Sin her unmeaLsured
vanity by desire to dress better, and
to possess more luxuries than otherwise
would be possible. Strangely enough,
says Ella Morris Kretschmar in Good
Housekeeping, President Roosevelt is
sufficiently impressed by the ladys ar
gument to indorse it warmly, and to ar
que further that a nation has cause for
alarm when its women do not recognize
that life's highest mission Is ito be good
wives and Mothers; the girl wto works
from choice being, by inference, factor
Of weakness in our nation.
What could be more astonishing than
the statements and conclusions Of these
two thinkers and molders of public opin-
ion? Intelligent people have ceased to
regard the horizon as the end Of the
world; but the sense of measurement in
man seems quite as rudimentary now as
at any age, when its application bears
upon finer problems.
How absurd for chemist to Judge OF
the final transparency of a fluid by its
appearance during the process Of agita-
ton and mbinings necessary to it's
production! A turbid stage may be but
a step Of the process, without which final
clearness would not be possible. Now
here are President Roosevelt, strenuous
above all men, and Mrs. Van Worst, who
needs must find an outlet for mental en-
ergy thru her pen, writing to condemn

GOING TO MISSION FIELDS
Two Minnesota Women VIII Be Sent Out

Soon.
Two Minnesota young women whom the
Minneapolis: branch of the Foreign Mis-
sionary society will send to foreign fields
this fall are Miss Mabel Lee and Miss
Mary E. Olson Of Alton. Miss Mary Oh
son, who has just completed six-year
course at Hamline university, will go in
August, to Penang, to take the place
vacated by Miss Martin, who, will spend a
year with her parents at Hamline. A
month later Miss Lee will go to Toxic,
Japan Miss Lee has just returned from
Folt's institute in New York, where she
has been preparing for her work in Japan.
With these young women in the field
there will be ten active workers supported
by this branch. -
Mrs. I. W. Joyce, secretary of the
branch, has asked for contributions for
the missionaries Of household articles, as
knives, spoons, linen or anything that is
dear to the heart of a neat housekeeper
and can be- readily packed, for it is al
most impossible to obtain these acces-
SORES in the field. She has also called fol
books suitable for missionary's library
either reference books or those containing
readable matter These contributions may
be left at the home Of Mrs. Joyce, 81

Why Is President Roosevelt strenuous?
He can't help it, Why is Mrs. Van Worst
thinking, inferring and expressing? Be
cause she must. It Is prepesterous to
talk Of decadence in an age when every
other man is an inventor or the protector
of startling evolutionary ideas, CONNER
cial, or social; when the citizen dominant
in wealth, is not an idler or voluptuary,
but a focus Of ruthless, selfish or benef-
icent mental power, as he may chance to
elect; when the laborer is not a clod,
but radiating center Of Independent,
aggressive thought; when one out of every
ten, or twenty citizens (of both seXes)
throws off, a book, sketch, Nplay, song,
essay or sermon, as the contribution Of
