bushels last year. The area Of
corn is increased Z, 218, 600 acres
over 1908 and the yield is esti-
mated at 2,945, 100000 bushels,
as against 2,669, 100000 bush
els last season. The oats har-
vest is estimated at 997, Zoo, 900
bushels, against 807, 100000
bushels in 1908. There is also
an estimated increase in barley
of Is, 1000, 900 over last year.
A review of the government
crop report forecasts a record
yield of leading agricultural
products. The wheat yieldwill
will fall but 100000 bushels
below the national record Of
1906, when 735, 26O,970 bushels
was harvested. With reasona-
BILE allowances for reductions
there is an enormous harvest in
prospect which must stimulate
all lines of commercial activity.
1t is expected that record crop
OF corn will be harvested and
high prices will swell the farm
er's bank account. While there
may be small variations from
the governments August fore
cast, there is every reason to
believe that farmers are in the
vestlbule of the most prosper
GUS year on record.
Prices of agricultural prod
ucts are regulated by the law of
supply and demand when not
restrained by spectators cor
ners. The producer, consumer
and distributor Of the necessi-
ties of life are all Interested in
the government forecast of sup
ply, which gives a silver lining
to future commercial and in
dustrial activities. There is an
interdependence of the consum-
er on the farmer and of the lat
ter on the manufacturer for
prosperity. The surplus of do
nestle supplies always finds a
ready market in Europe, which
annually becomes more depend
ent on the development Of agri-
culture in the United States.
The railroad, manufacturer,
mechanic, merchant and finan-
cier are interested in the
monthly government reports of
agriculture.
A record harvest will stimu-
late all national industries, as
the products of the soil are the
principal basis of commerce
and trade. With an eight bill
lion dollar crop IN sight the
railroads are placing liberal or
ders for new equipment to move
the enormous harvest. Manu-
facturers see the frrmers plenti-
fully supplied with wealth and
are increasing their output and
the reflex influence of a banner
harvest yield is impressively
toning all business enterprises.

TO DELIBERATE CLUBS.

i. ". walker, president OF
the Business Mems club of Hot
Springs, has come forward with
the proposition to consolidate
the work Of the individual city
clubs, thereby promoting the
interests of the Hills country
along commercial, agricultural
and mining pursuits. In addl-
ton to this he would have the
beauties OF the country set forth
as a home place and as a resort
for tourists and pleasure seek
ers who find life dull and unin-
teresting in the east. DR.. Wal
ker has just completed a trip to
many points in the hills and
sets forth that a large amount
OF permanent improvements
has been made in the rural dis
tricts as we'll as the cities. He
also finds a greater acreage of
grains with corresponding APP
parent increase in the quality
being garnered. There are a
a large number Of farmers who
are tilling the soil scientifically,
but they are scattered over a
large area. They are proving
object lessons to others and the
emulation Of their good work
by others is a foregone conclu-
sion.
Taking up the broader ground
than that which affects a CITY
Individually, DR.. Walker sug-
gests the formation of a Black
Hills Federated commercial
club, composed of the city clubs
of the Hills country. An orga-
nization of the kind could ac-
colnplish O world of good for
the country, and at the mini
mum expense. There is no APP
parent reason why jealousy
should exist, as all cities Of the
Hills have peculiarly their own
advantages and can suit all
tastes Of homeseekers.
Such a federated club could
have a special car fitted up with
samples Of soil, products, pict-
ures and descriptive matter set
ting forth the country in a
manner to attract attention of
the easterner who wants a home.
and the capitalist, who is seek
ing an outlet for his surplus
wealth. Such a car could tour
the eastern states and attract
attention, all cities and commu-
mites receiving benefits. The
resources of the Hills are
just on the verge Of being
known. The work that has
been done in the past, though
beneficial and we'll directed, has
of necessity been but prepare
tory, setting an example to be
enlarged upon with ample capi-
tai. What the country needs
is more permanent settlers of
the thrifty class, more whole
sale, mining and manufacturing
estab ishments, those which
give employment to people in
all lines. Wonderful strides in
this direction have been made
the last few years and still mar
vellous strides will be made
rs resources and opportuni-
ties become known. Co
operation is needed, and,
as suggested by DR.. Wal
ker, in no way can it be done
more effectively than by CON
solidated effort Of the business
mems clubs Of the cities Of the
Hills, Il is probable the Hot
Springs club will make the Of.
fort, and their overtures to form

mat practically all Of the increased
cost OF living has come from the en-
hanced prices of the products Of the
farm. Every production of the place
has been quoted high all the time and
much of the time going higher. The
basic fact is that the farmer has been
doing fine and If he cannot prosper
under present conditions OF high
prices and good crops the chance for
him to do well, and the merchant and
the mechanic to profit out Of the farm

straining the eyes looking for better

equally true that additional cost Of
other necessities Of living have large

will readily suggest themselves to the

INSANE FOURTH.

Statistics show that during the five
celebrations Of the Fourth of July
from 1903 to 1907, inclusive, q, $50 per-
sons were injured and 1853 were kill
ed. The giant firecracker alone in
jured 1889 persons in the celebration
of 1907, killed eight and led to the
death of eight more from lockjaw.
But 1t is not only in the injury and
death Of human beings that insane eel
ebrations of the Fourth Of July are to
be condemned. While this is the most
important reason such celebrations
should be prohibited, the large de-
struction oil property that annually re-
suit from premature explosion of fire.

record Of pecuniary loss that is start

A little thought now will be better
than sorrowful recollection Of the
facts on July of this year. Do not
get out of the habit of celebrating the
Fourth, but try to make it celebra
ton without an undcrtaker's bill, or a
loss of property from fire.

WOODROW WILSON'S WARNING

the American people by boldly CRITICS
ing both capital and labor The stu
dents and distinguished visitors were
told that the men who have been pill
ing up great fortunes il the country
and keeping just within the letter of
the law have all but debauched the
nation. At the same time, he warned
the labor unions that the regulation OF
the amount of work an employee may
do is economically disastrous" He
insisted that the whole huge game OF
business through the nation had been
passing was played in the main by
honest men, each serving his own par
ticular interest with intensity and
devotion. And yet, in spite OF their ap-
parent success, their prosperity had
been checked by hostile legislation and
the public rendered distrustful toward
them. The reason was that the cap
tains OF industry had paid no attention
to the welfare of others and had left
craftsmanship to the politicians. The
business of life was bigger thing
than they thought it. In this connec-
ton he said that the labor unions had
set the standard of duty to be to give
as little as man might for his wages
