rate Of nine years to the century.
In the last generation the increase
was greater. In Massachusetts, the
present rate of increase is about IA

New York, Oct 26.-The normal
span of human life is $50 years, &C
Cording to a remarkable study by
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, which
has just been published by the ma
tional conservation commission at
Washington. Professor Fisher shows
that the length Of mans existence is
steadily growing, both in this coun-
try and Europe, with the progress of
science, sanitation and social better
ment, and declares that the span of
$50 years will not long be impossi-
BILE of attainment.
The average length of life has been
steadily growing, according to Prof.
Fishers statistics. At the end of the
seventeenth century it was four years
longer than at the beginning. AT
the end of the eighteenth century an
other four years had been added to
the average, and in the first three

in North Central Washington Mr..
Elliott has arranged for Ephrata,
Quincy, Wenatchee, East Wenatchee,
Methow, Chelan, and upper Okano-
gan products to be served at this
time, together with permanent ex-
hibition commodities from the coun-
ties of Grant, Douglas, Chelan and
Okanogan.
Mr.. Elliott, in behalf of the North

league, is doing all in his power to
get as good an exhibit as possible
and states that while he is unable to
reach but small percentage of our
ranchers and farmers he is anxious
to have several boxes or parts of
boxes of fruit to exhibit at this time
in the east, together with samples of
vegetables, grains, minerals, etc.,
give every individual as much pub
lfcity as possible together with their
several districts, and he states that
it is his sincere desire that every
rancher who reads this article and
has an exhibit of any kind of inter-
est, that they bring the same to his
Office at % Wenatchee avenue, that
they may enter the car and be ex-
hibited under the name of the pro-

league the best they have and all of
those who have not arranged for an

convenience.
In addition it might be said that
the Wenatchee valley will be shown
in large panoramic form in the shape
of an. oil painting 25x1OO feet, as
will be parts of Okanogan and the
Quincy countries. 1t is expected that
the attendance at this exposition will
be in excess of two million people

TOBACCO CROP POOR.
70 Per Cent OF Last Years Yield
corn and Wheat Crops Good.

BY consulting many beSt-infOrmed
men in this community | find the al
most unanimous opinion as to to-
baccO. that the crop is poor. While
there is ten per cent increase in acre
age, the probable yield this year will
be seventy per cent as compared with
last. The quality not SO good.
That the corn prospect is good
with acreage about the same.
That the wheat crop is harvested
and m consider it good with fair
yield of wheat.
That the cotton crop is not extern
siyely cultivated in this section and
the present crop has unpromising
prospects.
Peanuts are scarcely cultivated in
this section.
Rains during almost the whole Of
June and early rains in July inter-
fered seriously with work on the
for the remainder of the season may
do much to improve the crop pros
poets.
There are many rme so ituated
that they cannot market to advantage
various farm products and they are
turning attention to the s~peciaiiza-
lion Of bacon.
Many are realizing the advantage
of cultivating home supplies, and it
is the universal verdict that the farm
ers are destined to become the mon
eyed men of the community.

Receiving your recent letter re
questing me to report OF the crop
conditions in Hartford county, on the
impulse Of moment undertook to reply
at once giving you my personal opinion
based on my observation and the -
pOrtunitieS / ave had for studying the
probable net result to the agricul-
tural interests Of the County his year.
Thinking, possibly, however, that such
a report might be Inaccurate, put my
self in touch with the leading farmers
in every section Of the county and
their reports from the various sec
tons confirm the opinion had pre-
Viously formed.
Very little wheat and tobacco are
grown in HEREFORD county, though the
recent establishing OF a tobacco
warehouse at Ahoskie, in the county,
has begun already to the
growth Of tobacco here. The Dros-
poets for the successful cultivation
of this crop are good, l am told, be-
cause in many sections IN the coun-
ty the soil is we'll adapted 10 the
growth of tobacco.
The principal crops grown here are
cotton. corn and peanuts. especially
peanuts. Hartford county is in the
centre of the peanut belt of the world
N11o-t q oOIl IN IFS A>SN
grade Of peanut placed on the market
The acreage of peanuts is about the
same as formerly while there is posi-
bly, a larger acreage Of corn and q
smaller acreage of cotton than last
year.
OF these three crops, a careful in
v~estigation, based as l said before
on conditions from all parts of the
county, leads me to repOrt the stu
att n to be thus which I belive to be
accurate: corn % per cent to SO Is
per cent: cotton from present pros
poets, 25 per cent. which may be in
creased to so per sent. it the con
ditions are most favorable from now
on. An early frost will destroy proc
tically all the cotton. Unless condi-
tons should be unfavOrable from
now, there will be twO-thirdS
crop of peanuts made.

CONSIDERABLY BELOW NORMAL.
Two-Tilirds Crop of Cotton and To-
baEco With Greater Damage to

1No-1 IIIENiS SIop ol TX Ill "
baeco With Greater Damage to
While exceptional cases of excellent
crops can be found on highly i'm
proved farms in some localities all
over the county, the fact remain that
the average for all crops this year in
Guilford county will fall considerably
below the normal yield, sweet potatoes,
hay and prospectively pea vine hay
alone excepted. The oat n wheat
crops yielded about IS per cent, but
the good prices for these, rs cents
for oats and $1.25 to $1.35 for wheat,
more than made up the loss in yield
in bushels.
Corn has been laid by and is silk
ing, the rains of the past week having
done much towards assuring a fine
crop on improved uplands which have
been we'll cultivated. The whole crop
had a bad and late start in the spring
by reason Of rain, cool weather. ETC.,
which made the stand poor and in
creased the cut worm damage, SO that
the best crops now growing have a
poor stand.
Owing to continued wet weather in
May and June, nearly all bottom land
crops of corn had to be
and a greater portion of the upland
acreage suffered from rain and con-
sequent neglect of work By these
untOward events many conservative
farmers, subtracting the complete loss
Of the loWland crop from the reduced
normal yield on the uplands, estimate
that GuilfOrd's corn crop will not eX-
coed 60 per cent. of last years crop.
Many of the bottoms have been sown
in peas, which will max some amends
for the loss Of corn.
Tobacco is badly spotted. Top
ping is now going on and the lrregu-
larity in the size and healthful ap-
p~earance of the plants, added to poor
stands, the experienced tobacco rails
erS say. presage a short and inferior
crop, the best estimate being rs per
cent OF an average, with best cOndl-
tons from now until curing. The
acreage, owing to difficulty in raising
plants, is at least ten per cent. short
of 1908.
Cotton in those sections of the
county where it is raised is reported
as looking fine, SO far as weed is
concerned, but 50 far, frulting but
little. and going TOO much to stalk.
On lands making a bale to the acre,
two-thiTGs or IS per cent. Of a crop

Welt panic also attributes to the cause
of the increase in acreage. for be-
fore the panic began, works. such
as saW-mills, lumber yards, were in
full blast. paying good wages, which
caused some to practically
abandon their farms and so to the
plants. When the Roosevelt panic
set in, it caused some OF the plants
to shut down, thereby sending the
armers back to the farms. The
shutting down Of the plants was a
blessing in disguise to the farmers
who had left their farms. which
taught them a lesson that they
should never forget.
The hay is not as good as usual, 800
much rain in the spring season.

The oat crop in Haywood county is

the oats. Some are harvesting their
oats, as though it was grass and
stacking them like hay. without

The corn crop, on bottom land, is
badly damaged from too much rain.
There will not be more than a half

Corn on the uplands is good and the
light showers we are having now are
just what the arner want for their

HALF CROP CORN AND COTTON.
DiscOuraoi.lo Conditions on the
Farms. Hail, Rain and Wind
Storms.

During the past few days / have
conversed with farmers from all Sec
tons of the county and questioned
them regarding the crop outlook with
the result that practically every one
Of them talked d~iscOuraSingly. While
the outlook for the principal crops
corn and much better and
more encouraging today han a week
ago, because Of good rains this week.
it is the en6ra opinion that less than
q two-thirds crop and possibly not
more than a half crop of corn and
cotton Will be made. The coo wet
weather at planting time, followed by
the dry season which has just been
ended. is the cause of the present
discouraging conditions on the farms.
Because of the cool, wet weather in
the spring, which continued for sew
eral weeks, much Gotten Gied after
it came up, lots OF the seed did not
come up at all, and much of the corn
and cotton that lived through the wet
season was SO chOked with weed when
the ground became dry enough to
aplow that many fields were abandoned
while IN others the corn stalks ha-
gained such size that they were not
thinned out and were left 10 make what
feed stuff they will. In the
ties where the arrners were able to
Work out their crops just after the wet
spell and before it became too dry,
there would have been an average
crop had the dry season been broken
Just Il few days earlier. IN some sec
tons, however. there Will be q fair
corr crop as it is.
Aside from being very late, because
Of the u~nfavorable conditions in the
spring, many fields Of cotton began
shedding during the dry season and
it is thought by some farmers that
the rain cannot accomplish much to-
wards saving the crop. If we have
early frost" said one prominent farm
er. the cotton crop will amount to
practically nothing; but if the frost
will hold of long enough we may
make a Is per cent crOp.
The heavy rains in the spring also
did much damage to farm lands by
washing away the loose soil and maxi
the crops in bottom land were totally
destroyed by the overflow Of streams.
The ~ains this week have also done
considerable damage along this line.
Certain sections of the county have
Teen visited by hail and wind ltorms
along with the rain this week and corn

down. The meadows have been over

The farmers of Harne county are

an average is the best we nave had
in ten years. The cotton crop is not
so good, the lice having killed out q
large part Of the crop. A good many
of our farmers had to plant their
crops the second time. and thus the
cotton is late. However. with good
seasons the hance are that the cot

Is a late fall the cotton crop will be
