the weight and quality will be far

"In what may be termed the nor
thern zone of the corn belt, embrac-
ing the northern part of Indiana and
Illinois, all of Iowa and Nebiaska,
northern Missouri and portid4s Of
Kansas, ahe corn crop is larry and
unusually promising, except in South-
ern Iowa. In the southern zShe Of

cities show without exception that
the business and financial situation
is simply excellent and oil that could
be desired; the outlook is encourag-

ed earnings inevitably must bring in

business is expected before the end Of
1907, and some officials are prepar.
ing for Is per cent increase next

erations., :, y
