WHEAT CROP IS
BELOW NORMAL
Quantity Was Generally Up
70 Average But Much Was
Damaged in Shock
CORN MATUREO
RAPIII Y

The dry weather has FASTENED the ma
turity OF corn. but has been fine for cur
ing fodder and tobacco, as well as Tor
COW peas and miliet In the southern coun-
ties. Late apples are also needing rain.
Corn cutting has begun in the northern
districts. some p.owing was done during
the week; much clover was cut and some
was thrashed in Garrett county; some
hay was saved from late meadows and
the gathering of sugar corn and tomatoes
occupied much time in the canning dis
tricts says the United States crop and
weather report for this district
TIE harvest season having crossed and
thrasning having been practically COM
pleted SPECIAL reports regarding the years
returns from wheat and hay have been
solicited. The replies do not differ ma
terially from previous estimates. except
that results Of the wheat crop are even
less satisfactory than were anticipated
at harvest time. Yields are so variable
that IL Is difficult for the farmer himself
to arrive az safe estimate OF the aver
age; they range from very poor to fair
and even fine in a few instances. While
the quality was generally good, consd-
erable gia.n was damaged in the shock
and will consequently grade low. In Al
legany county some will be unfit for flour.
Faliow ground yielded as a rule about
one-third more grain than corn ground,
the latter having been sown too late. The
crop as a whole is far below normal.
The yields of hay were generally heavy
except in a few southern countries, where
timothy and clover were only ordinary
al
returns. In Western Maryland and parts
of North-cent-al Maryland the hay crop
was the heaviest in recent years; hay IS
nearly everywhere plentiful, but probable
one-third Of the crop was damaged or
discolored by rains and thus its market
value much impaired. The remainder OF
the crop is of fine quality. Cow peas and
millet are fair and cutting still con-
tinues on the Eastern Shore. The second
crop Of hay is light and in some places
none whatever will be secured. Buck
wheat promises an average. crop I'm Car
rett county. In Sussex county, Del, 1t is
in full bloom, and is likely to be re-
duced considerably in yeid by the dry
weathe-. Corn is maturing rapidly and
the condition of the crop has not changed
decidedly since the last report The ears
are not filling out as well as they would
had moisture been more abundant, but
late corn is reported to be caring almost
as well as the early fields. From Anne
Arundel county southwark corn has fire,
badly and fodder as well as grain will b'
considerably effected. Injury from smu
is reported from Howard county. Pas
tures are becoming quite short generally
though some are holding out well in Har
ford county. Clover seed is good in Wash
ington county. and pea hay and milet d
fair in ths southern counties.

Fruit.

Winter apples are likely to be small ow-
ing to the dry weather. In Cecil county
they are falling badly. and are ripening
very fast generally. Peaches are ripening
in Western Maryland. and are fairly plen-
tiful elsewhere. Grapes are ripening sat
isfactorily and are an average crop.
The outlook for tobacco has falen con-
siderably below earlier expectations, and
reports now indicate that the total yields
vii be considerably below normal. tate
fields especially having suffered from the.
drouth. The early cuttings are yellowing
nicely in the barns. as the weather has
been exceptionally fine and favorable. The
yields of sugar corn are so heavy that,
according to one correspondent in Fred
erick county. all other farm work has
been mostly suspended for gathering and
delivering this crop. In Carroll county the
crop is one of the largest ana best ever
raised. Canneries have been running on
full time and some both day and night.
Tomatoes are ripening slowly and are
not plentiful. A great many potatoes were
dug and marketed during the week, very
good yields have been the rule, and the
quality Of the tubers is generally fine.
Complaint Of rot is quite limited. but is
considerable among late varieties in
Cecil county. In rSny districts late po-
tatoes will be a very short crop owing
to the drouthy conditions.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY
CONVENTION SAT-, SEPT. 3
Primaries Held Over the County Last
Thursday Night-Splawn for
Senator.

The democrats neld their primaries
last Thursday night in the various pre-
cincts of the county and elected dele
gates who will sit in convention here
next Saturday, September g. to nomi-
nate men for the various offices at the
disposal of the county. A light vote
was cast.
1t is pretty certain that A. j. Splawn
will be nominated for senator. Mr..
Splawn says that he does not care to
make the race, but it is generally I'M
dcrstood that when the eleventh hour
arrives the popular democratic leader
will be found at the head of his county
ticket. Among the other candidates for
office up to this time the only pronounc
ed seeker after county emoluments is
that of II. A. Grant for sheriff. He will
have no opposition.
j. d. Medill, the editor of the Yakima
Democrat and George F. McAulay are
spoken of for the probable candidates
for the legislature. In all probability a
man will be selected from the lower end
of the county, however, to take one of
these places. II. II. Wende is a likely
candidate from Sunnyside.
There seems to be good deal of
apathy among the democrats this year,
but some of their most conservative
leaders predict big surprise for their
republican friends.

NOVEMBER

McCLURE'S.
MccLURE's.

McClure's for November is fairly a
thrill with the keenest interest in the
world of men and things OF btoday. In
both article and story, it is not only
pleasing but hewn close to thesline Of
life. Indeed, MoOlure's seems to be-
come constantly richer, more varied
and more brilliant, as this number is
we'll in evidence. Three great politi-
cal articles especially distinguish the
number at this time, and make most
important contributions to the litera.
ture of the campaign. Vivid pen
pictures of the two leading candidates
are presented-Parker by ex President
Cleveland, Roosevelt by Senator
Lodge. the first by the man whose
own experiences best qualities him tc
speak with authority on the presi-
dency, thesssecond a most interesting
and searching glimpse of the real
Roosevelt through the eyes of his
longtime friend and politicalladviser.
More new light, a sensational revela.
ton, in fact, is shed by Ray Stannard
Baker, researche s into the records of
the two candidates on the labor ques-
ton. Though candidates and party
managers are dumb, their records
speak for them, and tell a story every
voter will want to read-a story as in
teresting as it is important. Mr.. Ba-
ker's rare power Of vivifying facts
never showed to greater advantage.
A stereoscopic picture of that most
vital of school problems, "The Par
emit" is given by M. H. Cartsr out of
a long, personal trial at its solution.
1t is most hu morous as we'll as in
structive leading. A. W. Rolker ccn-
tributes a very readable article, the
biography of a New York fire-aorse,
"The Black R ran of 49," full ef tn
hazardous and adventurous spirit of
the fire-fi gters, with graphic descrip-

The November number Of The Book
lovers Magazine is a strong number
in every sense Of the word: Strong
in variety, strong in the human in
terest of its articles, strong on its ar
tistic side, and strong in its Ameri-
canism. Every article is fully illus
trated. a
The leading article, "A Radical
Experiment in Education" is by H.
Foster Balm, and explains, In detail,
the methods employed in a the Chic
ago School of Education, where tie
work is made also fascinating for the
pupils that formal discipline is prac-
tically done away with, and the
teacher, following the lead Of the
child" learns how to teach to thelbest
advantage. The whole problem of
elementary school methods is being
worked out in the class-rooms Of this
school which are, in fact, a series of
small human laboratories. The arti-
Gle is very adequately i~llustrated.
James q. Monaghan, Chief of the
Bureau of Consular Reports iu the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
contributes an authoritative article on
"The American Consul: A New
Type. Mr.. Monaghan describes the
varied work o modern consul has to
do, and pleads for TIE establishment
of a Consular School, for the proper
training of those who desire to enter
this important branch Of the public
service.
The art section is varied and attrac-
tive. There are four color-produc-
tions of pictures in the famous Wag-
gaman Gallery, at Washington a Sc!
