Big Advertising Firm Gets Fig gureS from All States. and Announce Results As Show ing Better Than Average

CHlCAGO, Ill., sept. T--C. h. EfWln president of the firm of Lord & Thom- as, advertising agents, has just closed an exhaustive investigation of crop conditions throughout the United States with a view toward determin- ing whether or not the frosts and gen !, erally unfavorable conditions which tS2reyailed last spring caused any cur tadilment of agricultural products as wasS. so freely prognosticated by the pesin.6ists. The result of the inyesti- gationtt is most gratifying. showing as if doesA. that so far from a shortage there is an actual increase of yield in wheat. coSrn, cotton, hay and fruit belts of the couNntry.
 Mir. Erwi1sSs sought the aid of farm publications sand asked them for re- ports of conditions in the districts tbey severally cd2ver Especial inquiry was made relatine1' to wheat. oats, hay. and not only did the papers supply prompt accounts of the conditions of those stables. but told how potatoes. rye, cotton. corn. tobaycco. barley, flax. sugar beet, fruit and five StocL were getting along.
 Some anxiety was expressed ahout corn. There was DO denying that the belated spring had put the crops bacN.  sylyania Indiana and thet southern states were not altogether l encourag- ing. On the other hand, bunRper crops are growing in the fields of Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois, three of the sgreatest corn states in the union.
 Nearly all the reports on' wheat were cheering. Kansas will Harvest 600 000,O ,O0O bushels, and highly satis- of m crop come from Minnesota, the DakO- tas. Missouri and the far northwtfstern states. RumOrs of the destrhctive green bug have apparently died iln the last few weeks, and while il is ad- mitted that the insect did a gTeatS deal of mischief in Oklahoma and the h. dian territory it's stay in ether import ant wheat growing sections was ehort and the damage small.
 So far as quantity is concernedi the south is not expecting a record break ing cotton crop. The late spring, it is said by several experts, had the effect of checking a probably dangerous in crease in acreage, and consequent over production.
 Texas alone expects a crop of f. ss0, ,000 bales.
 The weather has been of a sort not likely to give the boil weevil, the ter TOT of the cotton fields, even a chance for his life, and the southern farmers are correspondingly happy.
 The summary of conditions in Varl- ons states and in Canada is as follows:
 NinaesCta-The farmers apparently have completely forgotten there was such a thing as a late spring and are going ahead with enthusiasm. The prospects for the wheat crop are es- peciailv promising.
 North and South DakOta-COnditiOns were never surpassed, with the poss1- ble exception of the low lands. There the crops have suffered slightly on account of the unusual rains, but else where there will be at least an aver age wheat crop, if nothing better. The yield of cats, barley and flax will stand high in comparison with recent year=, especially when the acreage Is taken into consideration.
 Iowa-In most sections the crops are better than they have been in years. Late rains did some damage, bus not enough to affect the general outlook. Corn, the big Iowa crop will be above the average, and one expert has boldly declared the yield within the state will be over 300.0O0,OOO bu' sheis. There will probably be nor . nal yield of oats, amounting to about zn coo zoe h..sheIs - ==-
 Kansas-A wheat crop amounting approximately to 600,000,000 bushels spells prosperity for the state beyond doubt. The farmers are as happy as they have been in decade.
 Nebraska-One of the largest corn crops Nebraska has ever known is con fidently predicted. At first it seemed as if the yield would be short, but good steady weather around the first of July did the work and now bumper TUT is in sight. With an increased acreage of wheat there will be an average crop and the yield of alfalfa will also be great. The ranges are reported in ex cellent shape.
 Missouri-Despite rke disheartenins predictions for corn growers an ex pert says the crop is only seven points behind last year. The oat crop is the best in years, and wheat is about thf average and thoroughly satisfactory.
 Illinois-Something better than ar average crop of wheat, a fine large crop of both timothy and clover hay and plenty of oats and rye is the story of the tanners. The corn is keepins up well and fruit alone is in bad shape
 Indiana-Records of last season will hardly be broken, but the crop! will far exceed the early expectations Corn and oats are little behind th' average, but the other field crops ar about equal to other years. 'rhs fruit crop is below the normal.
 Ohio-As a whole the crops aTt about the average. In some sections the prospects are away above the nor nal, but in others it is apparent ther' will be decreases in the yield, all tend ing to even up matters.
 New York-With bigger hay crol than it has had in years, New Tori Is not worrying greatly over the fac that it's wheat output will be hardl. more than 90 per cent of the average With the hay and pasture outlook s' excellent, a correspondingly encouI aging note has been sounded bV th' dairy interests. Potatoes will b about on the average.
 ennsyIvania-There will easily b' an average crop of wheat, and whii corn is late it is expected to finisl with about the normal yield. Dat are heading well, and grass, whicl makes Pennsylvania the second dair' ing state in the country. is in exeeilen shape.
 Connecticut-Wit rye above th' average and hay in a similar cond tion. although slightly late. farmer have nothing to complain about
 Kentucky-P1enty of late vegetable is the story of the farmers The earl outlook was anything but satisfactory but the situation has cleared to a cor
