 Kansas Corn Thrives.
 Much of the early corn has been ma tured already, but 1t will take couple of more rains within the next twenty days to ripen the late crop. whieh IS the big yield of the State. The weath- CT Is ideal for corn. The nights are warm No part of the State Is suffer- ing for lack of moisture. Only the most unfavorable climatic conditions can. cut the crop below the 200,00O,OOO mark. The wheat crop IS estimated al about 70,0O0,00O bushels by the Grain Dealers Association and the railroads. The wheat acreage is 5,S2e,S4e, apout the same as last year.
 Michigan is promised good corn crop. although everything depends on the weather of the next four weeks. One year ago 3S,000,000 bushels was raised from 1,290.000 acres. The acre. age this year Is estimated at 1,250.OO0. and the yield at not far from 3S,00O.00 bushels. Oats are estimated to yield about forty bushels per acre. which Is l5 per cent better yield than last year.
 Tn Missouri Secretary George B. Ellis of the State Board of Agriculture esti- mates the corn crop for 1905 at 26O, 0O0,- 900 bushels. as compared with 17S.S6I.o 460 for 1904. The acreage of 7.076,0OO is 64 per cent. greater than last year. The condition of the crop Is placed at 97, which Is seventeen points above the ten-year average for this State.
 Missouri Prospects Fair.
 The secretary estimates that the wheat crop will be about 30,5S5,000 bushels. He reports some damage done by rain, but the general condition of wheat is good. The yield for 1904 was 2s.242,955 bushels.
 The oat crop Is estimated at 20,000,000, compared with 15,0s7,000 for 1904.
 Nebraska looks forward to The State Bureau of Statistics shows corn acreage of 6.43S5s5. an increase of 259.601 over last year. Oth- CT estimates indicate an increase ap- proximating half n million acres. The yield in 1904, according to the Agricul- tural Department figures, amounted to 260, ,0O0 bushels, which was more than 5000, 900 bushels ahead of the best previous record. Present prospects are for a crop of between 250,000,000 and 270, ,000. .000 bushels.
 Other Nebraska crops are also bump CTS. The Union Pacific has received re- ports from 1900 very reliable corre- spondents" on which Is based a second estimate showing the following figures: Winter wheat, 35.s7O.s74 bushels; oats, 79,79S,O2S; rye, 2.S11.727; spring wheat, 5,490,544; barley. 6,429.456. From the l first two cuttings. according to the Union Pacific's correspondents, 1882 345 tons of alfalfa was raised. ~.-. ++ ohio Less Fortunate. Ohio's crop report for August gives no figures on corn, following its usual custom. It states, however that plant ing was irregular. owing to wet wealth CT. the growth uneven. and the ground weedy. An average crop in ohio is about 1o9, 1884 .000 bushels. It will prob ably fall this year below 100000 900 bushels Wheat Is estimated at SS per ioh yu0lild indicate a yield of about 2S,000.000 bushels for this State. Oats condition Is figured at 91 per cent. indicating a product of 32,000,oO0 bush els.
 South Dakota, according to the esti- mates of the State Statistical Depart ment will produce 45.000,000 bushels of wheat, nearly double last years crop. which was spoiled by rust, Corn is put at 53,O0O, ,OO0 bushels. barley 17.000,00O, oats 33,000,0 900. and fiaxseed 2000,000 bushels.
