CROP OUTLOOK is GOOD.

From the Chicago Tribune.-As
cumulative evidence of the great
prosperity Of the United States the
testimony of the farmers comes to
supplement that of the manufacturers
and merchants. The character of the
crops mas long been counted reliable
index Of the general welfare. When
the harvests are abundant and the
farmers are contented with conditions
other lines of business are apt tn be
prosperous too. When a season of
poor crops comes there is quite likely
to be general disturbance in financial
circles.
There was good dear Of fear ex-
pressed a few months ago because Of
the lateness of the spring. The pessi-
mist saw failure Of the crops and was
greatly encouraged in his view that at
last the long continued prosperity was
to end. Reports about the dismal
outlook came from every direction.
The various bugs which make havoc
with the crops were said to be un.
usually active, as If to combine with
the late spring to blast the hopes of
the farmers.
A careful investigation of the stu
alton mas been made with the assist
ance of the editors Of the papers which
circulate largely among the farmers.
These men watch conditions of agri-
culture as the editors Of trade papers
