Agricultural Prosperity.

Signs multiply pointing to another
year of agricultural prosperity. From
every direction come reports that the
harder grains and fruits are doing
well, and in the winter wheat region
the prospects are particularly cheer.
ing The New York Tribune has made
careful inquiry in the great grain-pro-
ducing states, and announces that
"the years wheat crop will be
bumper one, despite reports of bugs
and drouth;" that Kansas, the fore
most wheat-growing state, has the
largest winter wheat acreage ever
planted, with the growing grain classi-
fed at 100, or perfect condition; that
Iowa is planning for the greatest har-
vest ever gathered there; that in Ne
braska the condition of winter wheat
is 100, while Minnesota and South Da-
kota seem certain of big yields, with
increased acreage and plants in un-
usually fine condition. In some parts
of the middle west there has been a
slight falling off, and in Texas and
Oklahoma some damage by bugs has
been wrought, but the general outlook
is most reassuring. And big year
for crops means steadiness and conf.
dence in commercial circles.

Golden Rose of Virtue. which the pope
has decided to bestow on the queen
of Spain, and which was first pre-
sented by Pope Urban vi. to Johanna
of Sicily. is mimic plant of pure gold

of the plant are set with small dia-
