Crop Summary.

Following is the weather nurcaH-s general summary Of crop conditions for the week ending October IT: The week was characterized by warm, clear days and cool nights with an almost total absence of rain Cotton Is opening nicely and in many sec tions is nearly all open. Picking has been carried OF without Interruption from unfavorable weather conditions and considerable portion of the crop has been picked, ranging from fifteen to twenty-five per cent i'll the northeast section to sixty to seventy five per cent in the southwest sec tion. The yield Is very satisfactory in the northeast portion of the state, elsewhere not so satisfactory. Corn is being gathered generally and in the more southern counties the bulk of the crop has been gathered. the yields secured have generally been good for the carly corn and very poor for the late. Late potatoes and tur- nips are poor crops. owing to lack of moisture. sweet potatoes are fair to good Some wheat has been sown in the northern portion of the state and that which was planted ten or fifteen days ago is coming up to a good stand Much less than the usual amount of fall blowing has been done as the ground has been too hard from continued droughty conditions. Pastures are drying up: however. stock is generally doing very we'll, Apples have nearly all been gather ed; the yields secured were generally a little better than was indicated earlier in the season.

EDDY'S ESTIMATE.
Predicts Dunn's Election by $4,000 Ma


Former Congressman Frank M.
Eddy of Sank Centre believes that
Robert G. Dunn of Princeton will be
elected in November by at least $4,000
majority.
although I have not made it a
point to ascertain the sentiment of the
voters in all parts of the State, am
satisfied that MIR. Dunn will be elected
by a large Majority" said Mr.. Eddy.
'Mr. Dunn will probably not get all
the Republican votes: just as Mr..
Johnson will not get all the Demo
cratic votes. Mr.. Dunn will draw
many votes from the opposition.H
''There is undoubtedly some defec-
ton among the Republicans and it
would be foolish to predict that Mr..
Dunn's majority will be as large as
President Roosevelt's. I believe
that President Roosevelt will carry
Minnesota by $4,000 to 100000, and
that Mr.. Dunn will be from $4,000 to
$4,000 behind.
This estimate is not based on ac-
curate knowledge of the situation in
every county. I have not canvassed
the State, but from what information
possess, and applying my best judg-
ment, I predict that Minnesota will
go for Roosevelt and Dunn by large
majority and that without a doubt
every congressman elected in Novem-
Der will be Republican.
Mr.. Eddy, who was candidate for
the Republican gubernatorial nomina
ton, is giving Mr.. Dunn and the en-.
tire State ticket enthusiastic support
in the Sank Centre Herald, which he
has recently purchased. He plans tc

UNITED STATES LOSING
ITS MARKET FOR WHEAT
Exports Have Fallen, While Do
mestic Consumption Has Great
ly Increased.
special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 22.-It is believed
by the officials of the Department Of Agri-
culture, who keep close watch of the ex-
port trade in American cereals. that it has
been extremely fortunate for the farmers
of this country that industrial conditions
have been so good in this country during
the last two years. The unusual demand
of the domestic market has had the eff
feet to make up for the great falling off
in the exports of grain to foreign countries
1t is especially noticeable to the officials
how great has been the recent increase in
sales Of wheat by Russia TO the great wheat
buying markets of the United Kingdom.
Three years ago Russia sold in Great Brit
ain only about 100000 hundredweights of
wheat and wheat -four, all of which is
listed as wheat. while last year her sales
in the British market aggregated more than
100000 hundredweight. In the same pc
Rod the sales by the United States to Great
Britain fell off from 66.0oo.Oco to 1900 900
hundredweight. Canada increased her sales
in the meantime about one-fourth. and
Argentina more than doubled her sales of
this cereal in the British markets. and the
mother country took three times as much
wheat from India during the years stated.
