Each fall when the leaves turn there comes the
season for the pilgrimage excursions to the famous
shrine of Sainte Anne de Beauprc Then thousands
of the sef-expatrated Canadians, each band under
the guidance of It's priest, hurry out of the New
England mill towns, crowded into long trains all
eager for another look at the fields of Canada and
all nursing secret petition to the good Saine

Some seek health some desire fair future for the

Rosalie's heart grew tender, and
she resolved to keep loving him
much and to think of him all the

away to look at the new moon.
But after early mass on the
hot Sundays there were many
invitations that 1t was hard to
resist. The young folks went
away by the electric cars to the
picnic grounds. There were con-
Certs by the band at the lake;
there were pretty little steamers

young man to mOnOpolize her

EDITORIAL OPINlON
The Wheat Crop Crisis.

From he Portland Ore2orian.
New wheat has already commenced
70 move toward the markets in Okla
koma Texas, and parts Of Kansas.
With Il are coming TO market the US
ual reports of black rust red rust. the
.chinch bus. the Hessiah hy and all the
rest Of the pests that hurt the wheat
and help the market. But we have
had all of these reports In former sea-
sons and recollection of their appear
.ance has thrown decided air of un-
certainty over the situation. Statisti-
clans have been busy with their PEN
ellis since the government crop report
appeared, about a week ago, and they
have figured out some widely diverg-
|ent results for the crop now coming
on. The government does not make
cuanttative predictions so early in the
season, but in lieu thereof puts out
rome percentage figures showing gain
or loss In conditions
The statlstician Of the New York
Produce Exchange has for many years
figured out a quantitative result from
these figures. and while il Is not always
verified by the crop returns FOR the
year for which the particular predic-
tlon is made, II Is valuable as a stand
ard Tor comparison. According to the
figures Of lis statistician, the govern
ment's condition reports indicate a to-
tai yield OF wheat this year Of 737.432.- =
600 bushels. which, with the exception
Of the crop Of 1901. would be the larg-
est on record. Should the alleged con-
|dition be maintained until harvest. and
that amount Of wheat be secured. we
should have 2O5.OOO.O0O bushels more
wheat than was produced in this coun-
try last year or a sufficient amount to
put us back into our old place as one
.of the big wheat exporting countries
of the world.
But there is a world of difference be-
tween the promise Of crop of 727,-
100000 bushels and the actual harvest
Of such a crop. Taking the same con
.dition and acreage figured for basis
one year ago in June the experts fig
ured out a probable yield of 62S. 302. 600
bushels, or 10000. 600 bushels more than
was actually harvested. The June
condition reported by the government
has at no time in the past FIVE years
been verified by the yield which fol-
lowed. The June figures. based on the
government condition and acreage. re-
ports have in the past five years indi-
Gated "A crop Of from 5S7 $4,000 bush
els to 776.442OO0 bushels. with an av-
erage of 670,442,O0O bushels.
