CORN CROP AND THE EXPERTS.
The Opinion Of the hicago Trade
About Them.

Chicago September 26.-Whcn it
comes to betting on the corn crop, the
West looks to the government crop
renortS as at least the safest guide.
Private reports may be all right so far
as they go. but the area in corn is 50
large and il is so much more difficult
to look over a corn field and figure out
its yield than TO do the same with
wheat. that it is only by the most care
full work and long training that an ex-
pert is able to make corn estimate
worth anything. The government re
port for September suggested to the
Board II Trade a WELD of 1886. 600 COO
bushels Even allowing 10o,00o,o00
bushels for damage by frost and other
causes. there would still be left s.
235. OO0 600 whereas james j. Hill
guarantees a crop Of no more than two
billion bushels. while the Jones and
Ingls estimates prOphesy respectively
49,. Goa. 100 and $50. 600. 600 bushels less
than the governments indication.
This is 81 far from what the weather
crop bulletins issued by the govern
ment suggest. ana from the reports
made bv corn men who have for years
watched crop developments. that the
trade in general does not believe eth
er Of these reports to be correct. The

the nuch-advertised private experts.
! that they want to be shown more
clearly where the loss has been and
what has caused it. Railroad reports
are also more liberal in their estimate ties,
especially in Kansas, where the yield
was stated by one of this weeks eX-
perts as less than 10 bushels per acre.
The state never raised 50 small yield
as that unless in a drought year, or
when the crop was killed by hot winds,
and this year there has been neither.
The truth is, the private expert"
estimates referred to are in reality
based primarily on the governments
data. Were it not for the detailed
statements of the crops, figured out
each month from the Agricultural De-
partment figures by Chicago sta
tistio ian, all the crop experts, with
possibly one exc 2ption-not among
those above referred to-would be in
hard position. None of them. 50 far

WORK ON BOOM.
Season Has Been Best in History Tor
Workmen.

Bangor. Me-, Sept. 2'.-The men who
have put in the whole summer at work
on the Bangor boom and have not
spent their earnings with the usual
free hand Of the rivermen can live
comfortably, this winter, and Will not
find it necessary to work in a lumber
camp as is usually the case, for the
season on the boom has been one OF
the best in it's history and its end Will
find most of the men with lat lump
Of money to take care of them until
another summer come around. From
the time operations We're begun, early
last May, the work has continued
without cessation except Labor day,
and one or two excursions which are
naturally the rivermenS mondays.
There have been no periods of lldeneSS
of two or three weeks between drivs as
has ben the case, but the logs have
come along steadily and there have al
ways been some in the boom above the
dam waiting to be sluiced over as soon
as those below were RATED out.
\ crew of 80 men has been employed
the whole season, So in connection with
the boom in this city, and 80 others on
the steam mill drive. There has been
no dissatisfaction among the men dur
ing the season, the small strikes which
delayed the work, last year, being hap
PLY absent. The men have received
good wages and have made some rec
ords in the amount of lumber RATED
out in single day. The wages on the
boom vary from those of the boy who
does the "hitching up" and get 81 or
s1.25 a day, to the old hands who get
from s1.50 to s., and the men also re-
ceive their board at the cook house at
the boom.
SO far, this season, about so, 0O000D
feet has been RATED at the boom and
there is still about $4,000, 900 feet in the
booms upriver which will be RATED out
boerfe the close of the season. An av-
crage weeks rafting is 3.50O0h feet,
with the conditions favorable and it is
expected that the remainder of the So
00u,000 feet in the seasons work Will be
RATED out of the boom by November -.
The work for the remainder Of the
season Will be easier owing 10 the fact
| that the lumber to come in the West
| and East branch drives runs consider
| ably larger that that which has gone
| before, though of course the weather
cannot be expected to be 50 favorable
as that Of the summer
| 1t is expected that about 30eon.010
feet Of the logs remaining in the East
| branch and West branch drives viii be
| left to winter in the booms ut Sunk
| haze and Pea cove, and already the
| logs are being run into these bnoms to
wait over until another season.
