ed and Corn Makes Fine Progress.
| The weekly bulletin of the weather
bureau summarizes crop conditions as
follows:
| Favorable temperatures prevailed dur
ing the week ended July II throughout
| the country. Heavy rains intcrfered with
work in the Ohio valley and over Il large
part OF the South Atlantic and east Gulf
States. hut Il very general absence of
rain in the west gulf district. with only
| light showers over much of the Mis-
| souri, and upper Mississippi valleys. at
| fordcd favorable opportunity for much
| needed cultivation. Rains would he of
great benefit in the southern plateau re-
gion.
Corn has made splendid progress
| throughout nearly the whole of the corn
| belt, and is decidedly improved in the
States of the Missouri valley. where its
| previous progress had been retarded by
cool weather. While the general outlook
| for this crop is very promising, it has
sustained some injury on low land i'll
Missouri and in portions of the South
Atlantic and east gulf States, and is not
in a good state of cultivation in portions
of the Ohio valley.
Further reports of injury to harvested
winter wheat are received from the cen
trail Mississippi AMI Ohio valleys, the
middle Atlantic States, Texas and Oka-
homa and Indian territories. but no COM
paints of the character are received from
Kansas and Nebraska, both quality and
yield in the last named State being bet
ter than was expected. Harvesting,
where not finished in the more northerly
districts, is well advanced.
Spring wheat has experienced week
of favorable weather, and continues i'll
promising condition. While rust is still
prevalent in the Dakotas and to some
extent in Minnesota. it is not increasing
in the first named States, and there is
very little in Minnesota. Spring wheat
is filling nicely on the north Pacific coast,
where the hot winds of the previous
week caused but slight injury. Rust is
increasing in Washington.
In the central mississippi and Ohio
valleys and in portions of the middle At
lantic States oat harvest has been in
terrupted, and considerable damage to
both harvested and standing oats has re-
suited from wet weather. Harvesting is
largely finished, except in the more north
erly districts, where good yields are
promised.
In Illinois some wheat and oats in
shock and stack has been damaged by
rains, and harvesting and thrashing has
been hindered. Oats, rye and barley are
ripe in the north, and some has been cut.
Corn is in splendid condition, the early
planted tasseling in the northern and
shooting in the central part. Much hay
has been damaged by rain. Grapes are
promising; berries plentiful apples scarce
and dropping. Early potatoes promise a
light yield. The late planted are grow
ing rapidly.

Men on strike.
TO SELL 5000. 900 ACRES.
Texas Area Larger than Massachusetts
to Go at ST Per Acre.

The placing on the market of G.OOO. 900
acres of land owned By the State of
Texas, which will be done on Sept. l
next, will cause the breaking up of many
large cattle ranches in west Texas, where
the land that is to be sold is situated.
At present, and for years past. this land
has been under lease by the State TO cat
tlemen. 1t was not until late years that
that portion of the State was thought to
be adapted to farming. The agricultural
element kept going farther and farther
west year by year until it began en-
croaching upon the domain over which
the cattlemen had long held undisputed
sway. Then came the contest for su-
premacy, and the farmer won. The de-
mand for additional land for homes for
these prospective new settlers became so
great that the State resolved to aban-
don its policy of leasing 100000 acres
of its public domain. and to give the
people who want homes an opportunity
TO obtain them at small cost. In most in
stances, the cattlemen, who have these
lands leased for grazing purposes. own
a few sections, which form a nucleus for
their great ranches. With the abolish
ment of the leases these cattlemen will
be unable to continue ranching. and they
will be forced to take to stock farming
upon their reduced holdings or quit the
country. Many of them announce that
they will adopt the latter course. Some
of them have purchased or leased I-,se
ranches in Mexico, and will move their
herds 70 their new possessions.
The area of the land which the State
is to place on the market on Sept. l is
some 9.4OO square miles. 1t is larger
than Massachusetts. New Hampshire or
New Jersey. four times as large as Del
aware. and twice as large as Connecticut.
The land is to be sold in lots of one to
eight sections each. i,U purchaser will
be permitted TO acquire more than eight
sections. 1t will provide homes for
about 5000 families.
Since the announcement was made that
this land is to be placed upon the mar
ket, State Land Commissioner j. j. Ter
rstl has received letters from thousands
of people in all parts of the country,
making inquiry in regard to the matter.
The fact that the land is TO be sold at
q minimum price of 81 an acre. with 40
annual payments. at interest of only )
per cent. makes it an attractive propo-
sition to many people who are seeking
homes in the West. A residence of three
years upon the land is required of each
purchaser to perfect his title to the prop
cry.

Chicago gasped and suffered as she
las not done for four years in the in
ense heat Of Tuesday. There was
higher temperature, greater general
distress, more deaths, more prostra-
lions than on any day during the re-
cent scorching wave, while the ther-

hours. a higher point than has been
cached since 1901 Eight dead and

100 prOstrations was the total tax lev
ed on the people of the country.
From almost every city between the
Rockies and the Atlantic coast rose the
same cry for relief, as the pitileSs sun

In every large city there were numbers
>f deaths and prostratiOns. Philadel-
ohia was the hottest place in the coun-
try, with a mark of 9S degrees. while
New York City was but two points
over. Chicago was the sixth hottest
place in the United States, being ex-
,eeded in temperature only by Phila-
1elphia, New York, Albany, Concordia
md Washington, ID. c.
The official thermometers located in
exposed places above the street did not,
however, indicate the temperature in
which the ordinary mortal moved and
many street thermometers in Philadel-
ohia and New York indicated tenn
perature of 100 or higher, some relia-
ole Instruments registering 104 and

Following is the record made by the
thermometer in various cities:

weather and crop reports make for
quite optimistic trade reports in the
surplus cereal producing sections Of
the West. Very favorable reports
as TO fall trade orders come from
nearly all points west of the Allie
ghenies, north of the Ohio river, and
thence westward to the Pacific.
Large, though except in few cases
not record breaking. crop yields now
appear reasonably assured in that en-
tire region, and there is general
agreement that fall business already
booked exceeds that of year ago at
this date. Less assurance is found in
the reports from the western half of
the South, where it is feared serious
damage has been done by incessant
rains to cotton, wheat, and Other
crops.
