JONES RETURNS
FROM SOUTHWEST
WHEAT CROP EXPERT TALKS OF
CONDITIONS.
Says It Is Too EARLY to Talk Of Figures
in the Winter Wheat Country-Kan-
sas Has Good Outlook. but Condi-
tions Appear Better in Texas-Takes
Issue with Government Report.

H. Y. Jones, the Minneapolis crop ex-
pert who has returned from the south
west, issued a bulletin today cover
ing the outlook for the winter wheat
crop, in which the recent estimates,
based on the government report, are
pronounced too high. Mr.. Jones says:
1t is too early to put crop conditions
into figures, and after travelling over
Kansas and Texas this month he finds
the condition in Texas considerably
higher than in Kansas. Kansas has a
good prospect today, but Texas has q
better prospect. The condition in Indi-
ana is scarcely as high as the govern
ment puts it, altho favorable weather
will bring out good crop in that state:
The government percentage for April
is computed by Chicago to call for a
winter wheat yield Of 500,000,000
computed at about 40 100000.
"The country never raised 100000
600 bushels of winter wheat said Mr..
Jones, and there is nothing in sight
today that suggests the probability of
its being raised this year; hence the
condition should not be placed on that
basis. 1t is sufficiently optimistic to
suggest an increase in winter wheat
this year over last Of 85,000,000 bushels,
WAACn Woulu give d yl01U tTOuuu HUI,
100000, or 100000, 900 less than the gov
eminent figures are said to call for. It
will require most favorable conditions
for this result. Five hundred million
would call for state yields that on their
face would be ridiculous, and with the
present lack Of growth in the wheat.
doubly so. 80. - 49,.
"In 1903 T disputed the government
April condition Of 1897 as not being
warranted, after inspecting the winter
wheat in the field. The result that
year was that on August 10, estimated
the yield at 64O, 100000, while the gov.
eminent was around 725 100000, and its
April condition suggested over 1000,
600. In December, when the govern
ment made its final report for that year
it placed the yield at 697, 100000, or less
than my figures, four months earlier

similar this year, if it means 500, 100000

MUST HAVE "0PEN SHOP"
IF PLUMBERS AND MASTERS CON-
FER, THE LATTER WILL INSIST
ON THIS POINT. .a.

The plumbers strike remains un-
changed. Each side is confident. Mel
Their has lost by assertions and each
claims to be able to hold it's own.
There was some talk today at union
headquarters to the effect that the jour-
neymen had made offers Of arbitration
to the masters and had been turned
down. It is stated, however, that
nothing has been done along this line.
The strikers did appoint a conference
committee at the beginning of the
trouble.
'sIf the conference committee Of the
union wants to meet with us, they will
be treated as gentlemen and given q
square deal,' said q representative Of
the masters today. He added, however,
that the masters will insist on the
open shop and on being allowed to run
their own business. -....
A clever attempt to secure railway
transportation out of the strikers fund
was made by Fred Maher, Of Seattle,
yesterday. Maher appealed to the
union stating that he was plumber
and "dead broke.' He stated that
unless he could secure transportation
to Seattle he would be obliged to 60
to work. Questioning brought out the
fact that Maher was not plumber and
knew nothing Of the business.
