MORE STRIKERS CO OUT BIG CORN CROP PROMISED
Wheat Will Be Far Below Last
Years Harvest.
SPRING CROP BADLY HURT
Government Report Indicates
3,114,466,000 Bushels Corn,
but Only 625, $4,000 Wheat.

One Of the greatest corn crops In the
history of the United States is indicated by
the government report of conditions on july
l, published yesterday This report Is the
most important of the year. as IL gives
the first indication on corn. AS figured by
Henry Heinzer. statistician of the produce
Exchange, the indication is for a crop OF
ia 4ss 900 bushels which compares with
an indication of 8, 16l, l74.10o bushels on july
]. l90s and an actual harvest In 1909 OIL
2, ~ S76,o 00 bushels. The record corn crop
was that of 1906 which amounted TO 2,azI,-
41s.oel bushels.
For wheat however, the outlook is
darker. Deterioration ia the spring wheat
crop fully as great as had been indicated
in the many recent dispatches from eX-
perts IN the Northwestern States is
shown. AS figured by Mr.. Heinzer, the
report on spring wheat indicates a harvest
Of only Is, 523, go bushels, comparing with
the June 1 indication of 600 bushels
and with the 1909 harvest of 2So, S23, 900 bush
els. Weather conditions have been decid-
eddy unfayorable since the beginning of this
month, SO that the probability to-day is for
q crop considerably less than the July IN
dication-
Mr. Heinzer estimated the harvest of win
ter wheat at 4S5.s60.0oo bushels, against 44,-
0i2.cc0 bushels on June 1 and last year
harvest of as $50, 600 bushels. The estimate
for the total wheat crop is 625,l $4,000 bush
els, which compares with the estimate Of
ZOE, 404.0 900 bushels as of June l and with the
actual harvest of 737, $4,000 bushels last
year
The report was issued at ESQ o'clock. as it
was month ago, or after the close of the
grain markets, in which prices of wheat
had advanced fractionally. The stock mar
ket declined sharply on the report, with
especial weakness in the issues of some
of the railroads traversing the spring wheat
territory.
Government figures on oats indicate a
crop of 945, $4,000 bushels, against the June
estimate of l,0al. a8s, 900 bushels and last
years actual harvest OF 100, 5000 bushels.

the country school educate the boys

agriculture in our schools, but the
course is already rcrowded aud the

of giving instructions on the subject,

PREVENTING HoM.oIpE.

British juries have a way of disre-
garding sentimentality in favor of the
law and the evidence. As a result
England is proud of its relatively small
number of homicides-which makes
the statistics for the United States ON
the subject appear startling by con-
trast.
"Brainstorms" and the "unwritten
law have no standing in an English
court. AS one consequence, an investi-
gator has found an average OF 818 al
legged murderers are brought to trial
annually in England, and nearly so per
cent are convicted. In the United
States the annual average exceeds
6,5oO-of whom less than per cent are
punished.
There is just now considerable agi-
tation for a revision of the American
judicial system, and the need undeni-
ably is urgent. The British have the
figures to prove the good results which
follow a wholesome respect for the
power of the law.
The Crippen case Is the most recent
and striking example.

ABOUT PRESIDENT TAFT.

The Woman's Daily has the follow
ing about President Taft:
Again there comes the discouragina
conviction that men and women usu-
ally attain the realization of their
greatest ambition only to be disap-
pointed to find that they are not happy
President Taft elevated to the position
of greatest trust and honor within the
gift of the people of the most progress
sive nation of the earth, recently spoka
feelingly of his own personal realiza-
ton that he has not received the cor
dial support, cooperation and the fur
est confidence of the people.
Those who know the president best
know that he does not crave adulation
He does not play to the galleries. His
ambition was to be great in that broad
er senge in which historians Judge men.
But he hears condemnations and pos
sibly unjust accusations. These are
voiced not because Of any personal or
particular fault. but because of the
unrestrained license INDUCED by Amer
leans in criticising public servants
Properly circumscribed, this tendency
to criticise shows a healthy public
spirit. But there are bounds beyond
which even the bitterest partisan
should not go. The chief executive of
the nation stands as the representa-
tive of all the people. Loyalty de-
mands that he be accorded that respect
and undivided confidence due one who
Is intrusted with the performance of a
sacred duty.
