daughter, Eva, wants consent to marry
Frank Perry she acquiesces only on
condition that her prospective son-in

Perry does emulate her husbands ex

When Mrs. Perry calls him to ac.

The Alarlnist Crop Reports.

1t will be well for the country to &C
slow about accepting the crop reports
which are being issued from the spec
ulative centers. One of these stories
is that the wheat yield will not be
above 500,0000O0 bushels, as com
pared with a yield of over 60O,O0O,-
900 which, a month or two ago, WAS
expected. Corn, too, according to this
forecast, will be not more than $3.50,
100000 bushels, although the estimate,
based on the latest government report,
placed the probable yield at over p
500,00O,000 bushels.
Now it is possible that these stories
of crop shortage may turn out to be
true, but it is well to be cautious
about accepting them. If the wheat
yield should drop to 500,000,000 bush
els it would be the lowest in eight
years. In 1896 the product was
427 100000 bushels, but the smallest
crop since then was 522,0O0,O00 BUSH
els, in 1900, while the 600,00O,000
mark was crossed in 1898, 1902 and
1908, and the 70O,OO0,OOO line was
left behind in 1901. A drop to $780,
100000 in 1904. in the face of the
steady and rapid increase in popula
ton, would be rather serious thing
for the country. While the wheat
yield will undoubtedly be far below
the line expected a few weeks ago, it
is not safe yet to accept any guess
which puts it down to the mark pre-
dicted just now from Chicago.
A drop in the corn output to 2,
35O,O0O,000 bushels would bring the
yield to lower point than was
touched in the two latest years, the
crop being 1923, 100000 bushels in
1902 and 2.244. 100000 in 1908. Tn
1901, however. the yield was only l.
522,000.000 bushels, so that, notwith-
standing the increased acreage in
1904 over 1901 and the two later years
a decline to 2,350,000,O00 bushels
would not be calamitous, though it
would be unfortunate. This year. ex-
pectation, based on the earlier reports
sent out by the department Of a"ri-
culture, was that the 2,500.000,000
mark would be passed in 1904, aod
that record crop would be harvested.
The critical period in the corn belt
will not be passed until about the
middle of September, so that this es-
timated decline of 150,00O,OO0 bushels
from the recently expected total may
chance to prove true, but the figures
given out by speculative synd' Gates
at this time of the year should not a.
ways be taken literally.
