GENERAL CROP CONDITIONS.
Summary Of tho Crop Situation in the
Various States.

Washington. April 26.--The weather
Bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditions issued today follows: From the
west gulf coast northwestward to the
middle Rocky Mountain slope telnpera-
ture conditions generally were favor
able, bu. elsewhere the week was much
too cool for termination and growth,
although the latter part was warmer
and more favorable. Heavy rains in
the lower Missouri valley and portions
OF the spring wheat region interrupted
work, while drouth conditions in middle
and south Atlantic and gulf states have
generally increased. Freezing temper
atures and frosts generally turnout
central valleys. lake region, New Eng
land and the middle Atlantic states
were injurious to greater or less ex-
tent.
On the Pacific coast 1t was cooler
than in the previous week, but farm
work made satisfactory progress.
While preparations for corn planting
have been active in the principal corn
states, as whole, but little. planting
was done during the week, owing to low
tenrpera lures east of the Mississippi
river. No corn has been planted north
of the Ohio river, nor has planting be-
gun in Iowa and Nebraska except in
the southwest part of the last named
state.
Very favorable reports respecting
winter wheat are received from Ne
braska and Kansas. except in the ex-
trems western portions of the latter
state and improvement is indicated in
portions of Oklahoma and Missouri, the
crop made slow growth and in the stat
es east Of the Mississippi river the out
look is less favorable than previously
reported, large aereage in Indiana be-
ing devoted to other crops. Over the
northern portion of the spring wheat
region practically no seeding has BEEN
done. but it is generally we'll advanced
over the southern portion. being COM
pleted over considerable area in
South Dakota Over the greater por-
tons of Illinois and Iowa oat seeding
is nearly finished and this work is pro-
crossing favorably in Ohio and Indi-
ana. Seeding is not yet general in
Michigan and very little has been done
in Wisconsin and Minnesota. except
over the southern portion of the last
named state. Over the southern portion
of the central valleys reports general
ly Indicate oats are making slow growth
and in some sections poor stands are
sShOWn.

Des Molnes, April 26.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued from the office of the climate
and crop service today and is as fol-
lows: Very unseasonably low tenn
perature prevailed the first half of the
past week causing nightly frosts and
deeply frozen soil, checking germina-
ton and retarding field work in the
early morning hours. The last three
days were warmer, and the week clos
ed with heavy showers which brought
considerable excess Of moisture, in CEN
trail and southern sections. The heav-
lest amount reported was 3.35 inches
for the week at Des Moines. In por-
lions of the state rain was timely and
beneficial, but in q large area the
amount was greatly in excess of pres
ent needs.
Reports indicate that good progress
has been made sowing small grain and
in preparation of soil for corn plant
ing In fully three-fourths of the
state seeding has been practically COM
pleted, but in limited portions of al
districts this work has been somewhat
retarded by unfavorable conditions of
the soil. Quite probably this may re-
suit in some decrease in acreage of the
oats crop. In comparison with the area
that would have been sown under bet
ter conditions. Very good advancement
has been made in blowing and pre-
pairing ground for the corn crop, the
acreage of which promises to be much
larger than last year. termination has
been much retarded by cold weather.
and some fears were expressed OF dam
age to early sown grain by freezing,
but the loss from that cause will be
very small. On the whole conditions
are materially better than at the close
OF April 1903.

When Others Failed.

VHVH OtuOto IutIOus
There are few who will not recall
the great strike in the anthracite coal
fields of Pennsylvania during the win
ter Of 1902, nor will many forget the
untold suffering occasioned by that
strike. Thousands of miners and
their families out of employment were
suffering intensely and millions in the
east were suffering for coal. The coal
operators and miners could not get TO-
gether and things generally were in a
bad way. When the efforts OF all
peacemakers had failed, President
Roosevelt took up the matter, and II
was freely predicted that he, too,
must fail in his efforts to restore mar
mony. But he didn't fail After
three conferences it was agreed that
the miners should go to work imme-
diately and that the differences should
be left to arbitration.
In writing of the President action
Judge George Gray, Of the supreme
Court, said in a New York News
payer, September |, 1908:
81 have no hesitation in saying that
the President of the United states
was confronted in October, 1902, by
the existence of a crisis more grave
and threatening than any that had
occurred since the Civil War ! mean
that the cessation of mining in the
anthracite coal country, brought
about 10y the dispute between the
miners and those who controlled the
greatest natural monopoly in this
country and perhaps in the world, had
brought upon more than Onc-hali OF
the American people condition Of
deprivation of one Of the ncccsSaries
of life, aud the probable continuance
of the dispute threateacd not only the
comfort and health, but the safety
and good order of the nation. lie was
without legal or constitutional power
to interfere, but his position as Prcsi-
dent of the United States gave him
ill lllllutllNfs Il 90 llnN WV
zen of the Republic, that enabled him
to appeal to the patriotism and good
sense of the parties to the controversy
and to place upon them the moral
coercion of public opinion TO agree to
an arbitramcnt of the strike then eX-
isting and threatening consequences
so dircful to the whole country He
acted promptly and courageously, and
in so doing aVerted the dangers to
which | have alluded.
80 far from interfering or infring-
ing on property rights, the Presidents
action tended to conserve them. The
peculiar situation as regards the an
thracite coal interest was that they
controlled a natural monopoly of a
product necessary to the comfort and
to the very life of Il large portion of
the people. A prolonged deprivation
of the enjoyment of this necessary OF
life would have tended to precipitatc
an attack upon these property rights
of which you speak, for, after all, it is
vain TO deny that this property, SC
peculiar in its conditions, and which
is properly spoken of as "a natural
MONOPOLY is affected with a public
interest
IL do not think that any President
ever acted more wisely, courageously
or promptly in national crisis Mr.
Roosevelt deserves unStinted praise
for what he did"

Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering of Democratic editors which
met and communcd recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency. but he wrote a letter, of which
this was the concluding paragraph:
1T is because | so strongly desire
Judge Parkcr's election that speak 80
pln inly on this subject. | earnestly
beg of you when You see him tomor-
row ut Esopus, to urge that he accept
also the full responsibility of his posi-
ton; that he will not permit the cam
pagn in New York-the pivotal state
to he msmanaged by the small poll
ticians who beset him"
"Besct" "Beset" indeed Little
is Alton r. Parker "beset" by the
small politicians to whom Pulitzer al
ludcs. those who have, for years, been
the vassals of David Il. Hill or among
the operators for Tammany. Alton b.
Parker has been one of them himself
Foxy political manager for Hill. who
repaid him by an appointment. and
who in the present year. has repaid
him further. he is not likely to he be
set by his own associates. Mr.. PulitZ-
or must be wandering in his mind. 1t
Is upon those from whom he wishes
Mr.. Parker to dissociatc himself that
Mr.. Pulitzer depends for whatever
vote he may get in New YOrk-Tam-
manyites and the Hill hcnchmen.
