FORTUNES In
NATIONS CROPS
Five Staples Will Yield $780,
100000 According to
Uncle Sam

WASHINGTON, Aug. ic.-Riches almost
beyond compare win be brought to the
farmers and business men Of the United
states this year through the bountifu'
crops which are forecast in the Govern
ment's official report for August.
The result OF the Governments findings
was far better than had been anticipated
as concerns the wheat crop, but for corn
the estimate on condition lowered the
crop promise to below 5.0Ooo00OO bushels
as against an outlook for 3l6l'VoOoV
bushels month ago.
For wheat the Governments estimate
was so much better than expected that
prices fell sharply after its publication.
Instead OF a crop OF less than 4oo'ooooOO
bushels OF winter wheat for 1909, until to-
day the general estimate, the Govern
ment made the crop "at harvest" 4S2's2O@O
bushels. which is nearly equal 10 the crop
harvested last year. For spring wheat the
promise was also improved so that the
outlook now is for wheat yield IN excess
of 7oo.Ooo,ooo bushels. as against 6si.6o2'o 600
In 1905.
And assuming that the various indicated
and estimated yields Of grain were sold at
figures now prevailing on the Chicago
Board of Trade, the huge crops would be
marketed at these astounding figures:
Wheat-s717. .6ss. 40
Corn--s1. .se4, ,252. 500.
Oats s36o. 255. 600

'BANZA|S FOR TAFT

NEAR MINNEAPOLIS.
COMMERCIAL WAR ONLY THREATENS
President Warns Orientals That Uncle
Sam Is After Eastern
Trade.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Special. The
war that is 20 be fought out between
Japan and the United States, Presi-
dent Taft declared, is a commercial
war.
lie grasped the hand of fellowship
and peace that was extended him by
the Japanese Commercial Commission
that is touring the country and at the
same time warned them 10 look out
Tor US, since American business men
are at@ast awakening TO the demands
OF the Oriental trade and are dp and
doing. Baron Shibusawa, who is
Chairman OF the Japanese commission,
pledged the old-time affection between
Japan and the United States as an
assurance of peace between the two
nations in the future.
Mr.. Taft humorously laid all the
war talk TO the newspapers which, he
declared, were also now reconciled to
the fact that there would be no armed
clash
II was a veritable Japanese-Ameri-
can peace conference that the Presi-
dent presided over, appropriately ar
ranged for Sunday with an ideal set
ting in the Lafayette Club. on the
shore of beautiful Lake Minnetonka.
20 miles out from Minneapolis.
The health of the President was
drunk amid banzais from the threats
OF 90 merchants from Nippon and
then the health of the Japanese EN-
peror was pledged to an accompani-
ment of several hundred lusty Ameri-
can cheers.
The President is happiest when dis
cussing Oriental questions. His term
as Governor of the Philippines has left
permanently in his blood the voices
Of the East. Wherefore his speech
was in his happiest vein. Out of his
knowledge OF far Eastern affairs he
warned American business men of the
dangerous competition they must
meet from Japan; at the same time he
warned the visitors that the Ameri-
cans are at least on the move. He
complimented the Japanese on their
prowess in war and declared that ia
pan, having demonstrated her nation
al spirit in this manner. ii was a nat
ural consequence that she should now
be moving forward-that she has
moved forward with giant strides-in
the ways and accomplishments of
peace.
Throughout the Presidents address
was a warming TO business men in
America that powerful foe has en-
tered the field and that the new con-
ditions must be met-that Japan must
be fought within her own field-if one
OF the most important OF American
trade markets is not TO be lost.
