The ST. PauI,s Menace.
PART WOULD sECE0E.
Western Pennsylvania Would Like to
Become the State of AIleehany-
It's Plenty Bio ENOUGH.

Pittsburg, Pa. April 27.-The western
part of Pennsylvania is now ripe for a
revolt, and there is serious talk of
asking that the great keystone state
be divided the twentN-three counties
west of the crest of the Allegheny
mountains to be known as the state of
:llegheny.
For some years there have been MUIR
muringS against the way in which the
Philadelphia region has used the legis-
lature and congress to further only the
ends of that part OF the state, and the
fuss grew warmer at the meeting of the
legislature Just ended.
Yesterday the Pittsburg Leader, very
close to the western Pennsylvania
bosses. came out out in warm. three
column article, calling for a division of
the state. the dividing line to be the
watershed of the Allegheny mountains,
and the state to be called Allegheny.
Attention is called to the prophetic
words of Abraham Lincoln, who once
referred to this section of the state as
''the state of Allegheny" meaning at
that time perhaps Allegheny county in
which Pittsburg and Allegheny are sit
uated. Greensburg, Pa. is suggested
as the site of the new state capital.
The state of Allegheny, according to
those who are figuring on the move,
would have a population of 100000
according to the census of 1900, ana
With it's rate of increase for the last
twenty years maintained would in
the census of 1910 take seventh place in
the union.

Huron. S. D., April 27.The weekly
crop bulletin for the South Dakota sta
ton is as follows:
The weather during the week aver
aged unusually cool with temperature
below freezing several nights in all sec

week. however. the temperature was
more favorable than before.
There was no precipitation except a
slight amount i'm the Black Hills re-

counties. and over Il large area i'm the
eastern portion of the state the surface
soil is getting dry and rain is now
needed for both small grains and grass
Seeding operations made favora BILE

except in the northern counties where
ii is nearly finished. and the sowing of
oats and spelt is nearing completion.
The sowing of barley is finished in the
southeastern counties.
The growth of the early grain. and
the termination of the late sown have
been retarded by cool weather, and in
scattered. but mostly southeastern To-
calities, some fields of early oats and
barley. and a little wheat. are reported
slightly injured by freezing tempera-
ture.
Preparation of ground for corn and
other late crops made good advance
Grass has made but little progress
and generally needs rain and warmer
weather.
Potato planting is advancing slowly
because of the cool weather. Garden
ing has advanced rapidly.
There is no report of amy special in

THE CROP SUMMARY,
Cold Weather Has lnterfered with
termination and Growth of the
Spring Crops.


Washington. April 27--The weekly
summary of crop conditions says:
In nearly all the districts east of the
Rocky mountains the week averaged
decidedly cool and was unfavorable for
termination and growth, damaging
frosts occurring as far south as the
northern portions of the gulf states on
the 18th. The drought is becoming Sc
rious in central anC eastern Missouri,
and rain is needed in Montana, the
Dakotas and New England.
Rather slow progress With corn plant
ing was made during the week. except
in Missouri and Kansas, where the
work advanced satisfactorily. Prepara-
lions for planting have been actively
carried on in Nebraska. Iowa and I'LL
nois. but no planting has been done in
these states except in southern Illinois.
While the growth of winter wheat
has not been rapid. owing to the abb
sence of warmth. the condition of this
crop continues promising in all dis
tricts. Spring wheat seeding is now
we'll advanced in the northern por-
ton of the spring wheat region. and
is practically finished in the central
and southern portions termination
and growth of the early sown wheat
have been very SLOW and some injury
resulted from freezing in South Da-
kota and Nebraska.
In Colorado, Utah and the north
Pacific coast spring wheat is coming
up and growing nicely.
Oats also need some warm weather
to promote their growth. which has
been generally slow but on the whole
the outlook is favorable. Some damage
by freezing is reported from South
Dakota and Nebraska. Seeding is we'll
advanced in the more northerly sec
tons, except the northern portion of
the middle Atlantic states and New
England. Fruit prospects have been
further lessened the past week through
out the Ohio valley. the east gulf states
and the Atlantic coast south of New
England, peaches suffering most. In
the states of the upper Missouri wall
ley, the lake region and New England
he outlook is more promising.
