"reflects the rather serious effects of
the drought during June, most of the
important crops showing a condition at
present which indicates yield below
that of last year and below recent
average yields of production.
"Feedstuff, oats and hay, seem to have
been hardest hit. Less than two
thirds of normal crop of hay is eX-
pected and the oats crop probably will
be more than % per cent. less than last
years crop, and about IL per cent. less
than the average for the last five years.
'The corn acreage is the largest ever
recorded, but the condition of the crop
is about seven per cent below the aver
age. That indicates a production of
approximately five per cent less than
last years record crop but nearly five
per cent. more than the average pro-
duction during the last five years. The
condition of the corn crop on July l.,
however, was critical.
POTATOES UNUSUALLY SHORT.
''The potato crop promises to be un-
usually short. The acreage has fallen
off, probably on account of unsatis-
factory prices during the last year, and
the condition of the crop now is lower
than at any time on July l in the last
% years. Almost a sensational advance
in the price of potatoes has been made
during the last month. The average
price throughout the United States on
June was GO % cents a bushel. On
July l it was 96.3 cents a bnshel.
Ordinarily, the variation in that time is
only few cents bushel.
lowing to the difficulty in selling out
tobacco plants, the acreage of tobacco
has been reduced % per cent. from
that of last year. The low condition of
the crop together with the shortage of
acreage have combined to reduce the
indications to total production of GO. 8
per cent. of last years crop or 713 per
cent. of the average for the last five
years.
Notwithstanding the drought the
wheat crop, both spring and winter, will
be well up to the average in total pro-
duction. 1t is scarcely likely that the
amount of wheat in bushels will vary a
great deal from the average of the last
five years.
con general crop conditions the
section of the country which appears
to have been hit the hardest by the hot
weather and the drought is the tier of
States comprising South Dakota, Kan
sas and Oklahoma

MOTOR CAR TURNS TURTLE
Companions Disappear After Joy
Ride in Waltham City Machine.

Waltham, July S.-Two men were in
jured, one seriously, and two others ran
away when the Board of Health auto
mobile turned turtle on Main street,
near Newton street, early this morning.
The police are looking for the two men
who disappeared, leaving their COM
panions bleeding from many wounds
and with broken bones in the street un-
der the machine.
The injured are Frank j. Hanrahan,

police after the accident the men were
on a Joy ride in one of the city's ma
chimes.
The injured men claim they had just
taken one of the officials home and
were returning with the machine to the
garage.
The machine, in attempting to cross
Main street, skidded. Corners was
pinned under the rear Of the car wher
it turned turtle and Hanrahan was
thrown against tree.

the attention of the police who sent
them to the hospital. Boston Journal.

Fire RACES on Black Mountain.

Brattleboro, July ~. Over 100 men
are tonight fighting a forest fire on
Black Mountain at West Dummerston
and unless heavy showers come within
a few hours several houses are in
danger of the flames.
Nearly 300 acres of timberland has
already been burned over and Holden
and Martin of Brattleboro have had a
valuable lot of spruce damaged to the
amount of 500 or 1000. The authori-
ties of the town of Dummerston have
called for every able-bodied man to
fight the flames, which have been in
progress since Saturday. To night
about twenty men left Brattleboro
for the fire scene which is dangerously
near the Bert Blood and George Fisher
farms, two finely equipped establish
ments. This afternoon the line of fire
extended distance of over two miles,
and those who went to the scene from
this town as spectators said it was
impossible to get within 300 feet of the
fire.

FOREST FIRES RAGING.
Worst That Maine has Ever
Known

Kineo, Me, July 9.-Five hundred
men are tonight fighting one of the
worst forest fires that Maine has ever
known. 1t has already burned over an
area seven miles long in Enchanted
township, causing a loss estimated at
$l25, 600 and there is no present prospect
of stopping the spread. Men are being
drafted from other townships by the
authorities to assist in the work.
In the Frenchtown district a fire has
been burning several days in spine of
the efforts of 300 men to control it.
Still another serious fire is burning on

FOUR MILlTlAMEN HURT.
BrookIynites on Hike in New
Jersey Bowled Over by
Runabout,

-Four members of Company B, Twenty
third Regiment of Brooklyn, received
painful injuries when an automobile
dashed down hill and into the com
pany as it was marching along Pallisade
avenue, in Englewood, N. j., at 1870
Saturday night. The men injured were:
Privates William Trebin, James Christie
Robert Fawkner, and Charles Baesch.
Several others were knocke down, but
the four named were the only ones In
jured.
The Brooklyn militiamen were on
service and durability hike from Brook
Ign to Blauvelt, N. j., and were within
few miles of their nights bivouac, at
Tenafy, N. j., when the accident
happened.
The machine which ran into the men
was runabout, driven by Harry
Wheeler of Tenafy, N. j. He declares
that another automobile, coming up be-
hind his, driven by E. F. Hallett of Man
haitian, was responsible for the acct
dent. Both he and Hallett were taken
to the Englewood police station, but as
no charges We're made against them
they were both dismissed
About sixty members of Company B.
under command of Captain Matthew G.
Addison, left the Twenty third Regi-
ment Armory, yesterday afternoon, to
take part in the march They were
passing through Engewood, ~ j., on
their way to Tenafy, at 1870 O'Clock.
The company had just started on after
a brief halt, and were marching close
to the side of the road in columns of
four, when someone shouted warning.
Before the men had a chance to get out
of the way an automobile apparently
under no control dashed among them.
The automobile which had bowed the
men over and another following close
behind dashed on past the company, but
came to stop when Sergeant F. T.
Slack, right guide of the company.
brought his rifle down on the mudguard
of the Wheeler machine.
Some of the men were fighting mad,
and had it not been for Wheeler evident
helple ssness and regret, and the re-
straint of military discipline, they might
have done him injury. The four men
who had been hurt were hurried to the
Englewood hospital about mile and a
half distant The surgeons who ex-
amined them found that all but Trebin
were lucky enough to have escaped with
nothing more serious than decorations
of the face and body. They were
patched up in the dispensary and re-
turned to the company's bivouac near
Tenafy last night. Private Treblin
was found to be suffering from shock
and was kept in the hospital over night.
Wheeler told the Englewood police
that Hallett ran up behind him as he
was coming down the hill and it was his
machine that pushed his own into the
side of the road so that he ran into the
marching column of men. Hallett
denies this. He says that he footed his
horn for Wheeler to get out of the way
and let him pass and that Wheeler
tnrned out too far and ran into the men.

torists on Bail.

Sheriff Welt of Montgomery county,
Md, intends to prosecute vigorously his
Sunday campaign, recently started
against speeding on the Maryland roads
in his county. The sheriff, accompanied

over the new Potomac pike from Poto-
mac to the Conduit road On their way
back tol Rockville a speeder was sighted
some distance ahead. The sheriff began
chase that covered two miles. When

E. j. Cornish, no address, also of Wash
ington. Mr.. Smith, the owner of the
machine, was required to put up $50
collateral for his appearance before JUS

HANcocK's HOMECOMING.

The amount of interest Hancock is
evincing in its preliminary prepare
tions for a monster homecoming next
summer, on the occasion of the cele-
bration of its fftieth anniversary,
augurs well for the success of the UNI
dertaking, which is no small task for
those i'm charge of il. Calumet and
other towns i'm the copper country will
extend every assistance possible, for
such an enterprise will attract wide
spread attention to this district and
prove an advertisement of much value
not only for Hancock but for the cop
per country generally. As President
Taft and other notables have promised
to visit Houghton the week of August
6, if they can possibly arrange the
trip, to attend the quarter centennial
Of the establishment of the Michigan
College of Mines, it would seem advisa-
BILE for the Hancock Boosters club to
select the same week for their cele-
bration, and it is expected that this
action will be taken. one event would
not interfere with the other for they
are to be along entirely different lines.
No doubt the president and other dis
tinguished guests expected in Hough-
ton at that time also could favor Han
cock with a visit and it would prove
decided additional feature for the
Hancock homecoming.
The only incorporated city in the
copper country is to be Congratulated
on its decision to celebrate for It
would have shown a regrettable lack Of
civic pride had it permitted the ami
versary Of it's half century of exist
ence to pass unobserved. The city has
reason to be proud of the many young
men, born and reared in Hancock, who
have made their way in the world of
industry, and it is commendable of the
Boosters club to want to bring them
all back home" again to renew old
home ties and revive the memories
Of their childhood days
