The Good Crop Prospects.

Words of encouragement come from
| the experts who are watching the pro-
gress of the crops throughout Uncle
Sans vast domains. The country has
now had a month of fine growing
weather. thus doing much towards re-
covering from a very backward spring.
The wheat harvest is now well
advanced and promises q yield of
over 63O.OOO.0OO bushels. While this is
about 10O,00O.000 bushels less than d
year ago, 1t is still good average re-
suit; last year, it must be remembered.
having produced a bumper crop The
outlook for corn Is for yield Of g.
aboOOO.O0O bushels. a decrease of $780,
100000 bushels compared with last
years bumper crop. There are no in
dications anywhere Of crop failures.
The general outlook is for a full aver
age yield. Even cotton does not
promise short crop. The bright
feature in the situation is the certainty
Of large demand for all of our
agricultural products both at home
and abroad. The wheat shortage in
Europe insures a good demand for
any surplus which We may have of
that commodity. There is also the
prospect of a large demand for cotton
Prices Of all agricultural products are
high. and must be yielding the farmers
large net returns. The only unsatis-
factory present feature in the crop
outlook is that both cotton and corn
are at least from one to three weeks
Backward: they are. therefore,
particularly exposed to the danger of
early frost. ana late fall with good
weather during the interval will be
needed to secure a good yield of these
crops.

Fiuhtinq the Smoke Nuisance.

The scientists of the United States
geological survey assure us that the
| great cities are playing a losing game
when they insist that manufacturers
and others shall use anthracite coal
| instead of bituminous, in order to les
sen the smoke nuisance. These
scientists tell US that this country has
reached the maximum of it's yearly
haid coal output and from this time
forward the amount of anthracite
which is mined will decrease from year
ly increases. With this kind of fuel
thus becoming a more expensive lux
ury it will be only natural that the use
of bituminous coal which causes the
smoke evil from which large cities and
railroad centers suffer SO much, will
increase. Evidently the battle to abol-
ish the smoke nuisance will have
to take some other form than to urge
the greater use of hard coal land the
less use Of the soft variety.
The scientists tell us that there are
number of ways to solve the smoke
evil. The burning of soft coal by i'm
proved methods in large, central heat
ing stations in place of many small
poorly conducted plants is one of the
promised solutions Of the ploblem. In
number of cities these mammoth
plants have been installed and are do
ing good work. Another method is to
convert the fuel into gas and coke, at q
big plant. selling the gas and coke
(both of which are smokeless) to the
consumers. Still another method is
the establishment of great gas produ-
GERS, gas engines and electric genera
tors at the coal mines, the gas produ-
GERS operating the engines and the lat
ter in turn the generators, sending the
electricity into the cities for power,
light and heating purposes. Electric
ity can be sent in this manner, $50
miles. 1t is also hoped that in the
near future. the railroads will use such
power in operating their trains. This
would do away with a big part of the
smoke nuisance.

Her statesmen are too wise to consider

and resources as the United States.
Financial considerations alone are

against hostilitics between the two

Its short suit is judgment, and ten
dency to throw out it's chest on small

and an added stock of discretion.
"Docs the Journal dare to predict the
position of it's own party with equal
definitencss?" asks the Sentinel 1t
does, and, unlike the Sentinel. it is able
to do SO without danger. for the Re-
publican party is, and has always been.
a party Of fixed principles. One plat
form is, therefore. consistent with
another and if the Sentinel really
desires to know where the party will
stand next year it has only to consult
the last platform, for in the life and

is neither variance nor shadow of
