The national crop reporting board
finds from the reports of correspond
ents of the bureau OF statistics, as fol-
lows:
Preliminary returns show the acreage
of corn planted to be about 95,535, 900
acres, an increase of about 1,524,00O
acres or 1.6 per cent, as compared with
the estimate of the acreage planted last
year.
The average condition of the growing
crop on July was 87.5 as compared
with S7.3 on July 1. 1905, SO at the cor
responding date in 1904 and ten year
average of 1914.
The average condition of winter
wheat on July was $50 as compared
with SO last month, 1927 on July /, 1905,
1877 at the corresponding date In 1904
and ten year average Of 79.4.
The average condition of spring
wheat on July was Ola as compared
with 90 last month, 81 on July l, 1905,
93.7 at the corresponding date In 1904
and a ten year average of 49,.
The amount of wheat remaining In
the hands of farmers on July is esti-
mated at about 4a053,000 bushels,
equivalent to about SO per cent of the
crop OF last year.

ELEVATION OF DRYING HOUSE
sixteen tons of white stock and five
tons of chops and waste With an
other furnace room and drying floor,
several more tons of chops and waste
could be dried The chops are apples
too small to be pared and are run
through without pairing. The waste
consists of cores and parings.
1t requires four tons of coal week
to run the two furnaces The chops
and waste will usually pay for the
coal. The summer and autumn apples
are too soft to be OF any value for
evaporating. About Sept. Is he begins
on the greetings and earlier winter
varieties. When running up to full
capacity it requires ten people to han
die the work, a day man to run the
slicing, to attend to the furnaces and
do the general work and one night
man Two parers will run through the
machine hundred bushels a day,
while six women are required to trim
the apples, cutting out bruised spots
and pieces of the skin that the parers
missed.

FLOWING BY STEAM.

Ordinary ThrashiDE Traction En-
Rines May BE Used In This work.
Steam blowing has been condemned
by many simply because they have put
the ordinary traction engine on heavier
work than it WAS built to do, and the
result was broken gears, lost time and
heavy bills for repairs. In writing on
this subject in the Orange Judd Farm
er, a. B. Greig of Manitoba says:
Il am sure that farmers owning ordi-
nary thrashing traction engines of eight
cen to twenty FIVE horsepower would
In many instances derive considerable
benefit from their use for blowing.
To do this l would suggest their re-
placing the cnst iron gears with steel.
adding extension rings to the drawing
wheels, using a plow suited to the size
Of the engine and not expect to pillow
the whole farm up in a day. AS steam
blowing has developed the size and
weight of the engine have increased,
somewhat mixed blessing. The argu-
ment used in favor of the large engine
is that it does not require any more

V. X. Chestnut of the Montana
station reports cooperative tests with
beet growers in which Kleinwanzlebe-
ner beet seed produced in the state Of
Washington and secured by this de-
partment was distributed IN Montana.
Tests of the beets showed that the
richest lot contained 22.8 per cent of
sugar. The largest estimated yield
of sugar per acre-5,825 pounds--was
obtained on the station farm. VII
NORM Imperial, French redtop and
Utah sugar beets, grown in compari-
son with the Washington grown Klein
wanzlebener seed were inferior In
every particular, with the exception
that the Utah grown seed showed q
purity los per cent greater than the
observation-disclosures The average Of
twenty-five beets grown In various
parts Of the state from this seed con-
tanned 1919 per cent of sugar with
g.. 70 per cent purity.

Mushrooms For Market.

Mushroom growing for the market Is
very profitable If properly managed.
Those having greenhouses can grow
this delicious vegetable under the
benches to advantage at this season.
1t will do we'll in cellars where the
temperature can be kept at about 80 or
60, says Outing Magazine. This should
be kept as even as possible to secure
best results. Collect a lot of fresh
horse manure, rejecting the coarser
portions of 1t. Spread 1t out to prevent
premature heating and fork 1t over
several times at intervals of a few
days before using 1t. Make the beds
about eighteen inches deep and three
of four feet wide Pound the manure
down well. Let it ferment thoroughly
before spawning it. Test its tempera-
ture with II reliable thermometer by
inserting the instrument In the soil and
leaving 1t there until the full tempera-
lure of the bed is registered When II
