CROP REPORT.

"Hot, dry weather has played havoc
with the crop conditions during the
last month";" was the statement made
by Prof. N. c. Murray, acting chief of
the Crop Reporting Board OF the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton after the announcement of the July
report on grain and produce.
The report, reflects the
serious effects of the drouth 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.
The feed stutfs-oats and hay seem
to have been the hardest hit Less
than two-thirds of a normal crop of hay
is expected, and the oats crop probably
will be more than % per cent less than
last years crop, and about II 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 I per cent below the average.
That indicates a production of approx
imately per cent less than last years
record crop, but nearly 5 per cent more
than the average production during
the last five years. The condition of
the corn crop on July |, however, was
critical
The potato crop promises to be un-
usually short. The acreage has fallen
off and the condition of the crop now is
lower than at any time on July in
the last twenty-five years.
Winter Wheat-Condition 76.S per
cent of the normal, compared with S0.4
per cent on June |, 1911, Sl.5 per cent
in 1910 and Sl.4 per cent the ten-year
average.
Spring Wheat Condition, 1873 per
cent of normal, with 94.6 ,er cent on
June |, 1911, GIG per cent in 1910 and
S7,S per cent the ten-year average.
Barley-Condition, 72.l per cent of
normal, compared with 90.2 per cent
on June /, 1911, 1871 per cent in 1910,
and S7.9 per cent the ten-year aver
age.
Rye e--Condition, 50 per cent of nor
NAL, compared with 1876 per cent on
June |, 1911, SIG per cent in 1910 and
9O.S per cent the ten-year average.

Manitowoc county has good repre-
sentation of teachers at the Normal
schools this summer. Most of them
are in attendance at Oshkosh, Milwau-
kee and Stevens Point. These teach
ers attending summer school are doing
so for the purpose of renewing their
certificates and also for the purpose of
securing standings for u higher certi-
ficate.
1t might be we'll at t.is time to call
attention to new ruling of the Board
of Regents. Under Nrecent ruling
students looking toward the elementary
certificate will be admitted to no Wis
consin normal school after April 1911.
They also ruled that no elementary
certificate will be granted by any
Normal school in Wisconsin after July
1913. The four-year courses have been
extended to tive-year courses and stu
dents are admitted to these courses
upon graduation from the eighth
grade, as the minimum qualification
for entrance. In other words graduates
from our country schools may enter
the normals Except Milwaukee, the
same as before, but they will not be
given an elementary certificate to
teach at the end of two or two and a
half years as in the past. County
training school graduates and holders
of second and first grade certificates
will receive credits varying in amounts
wish the work done.
Students who may choose to attend a
normal, should decide to complete the
work before applying to teach. In the
future normal school standings will
not be accepted by the county super
intendent IN lieu of an examination
unless the applicant have had at least
one quarter Of practice teaching, and
then only in limited number of
branches. This will be more fully ex-
planned in bulletin later and in the
next annual.

A number of county schools that had
eight months last year win have nine
months this year. 1t is well and
proper that pupils of one district (of
eight months) be given the same
privileges as those Of another district
(of nine mCnths.) A district that has
but eight months school loses years
schooling every nine years.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

MEETING OF CONGRESS-THE PRE-
SIDENT'S MESSAGE.--Congress met in
extra session the 4th inst, in accord
ance with the proclamation of Presi-
dent Lincoln. The house was imme-
diately organized by the election OF
G. A. Grow of Pennsylvania, speaker.
In the Senate Mr.. Chandler gave
notice that ne should introduce bill
to confscate all property of all Govern
ors of States, Members of Legislature,
Judges of Courts, all military officers of
higher rank than Lieutenant, who
shall take part against the govern
ment of the United States; such proper
ty to be applied and restored to Union
men in seeding states for any losses
they may have suffered.
The Presidents message was sent in
on Friday, and during it's reading there
was close attention, with occasional
marks of applause. He commences with
statement of the acts of the rebelli-
GUS states, from the first seizure of
public property by the rebels, to the
attack and capture of Fort Sumter.
The President concludes his message
in the following language:
"It was with the deepest regret that
the Executive assumed the duty of en-
ploying the war power in defense OF
the government. Forced upon him, he
could but perform this duty or surren-
der the existence of the government.
No compromise by public servants
could in this be cure: not that COM
promises are not often proper, but that
popular government cannot long sur
vive a marked precedent that those who
carry an election can only save the
government by giving up the main
point upon which the people gave the
election. The people themselves and
not their servants, can safely reverse
their own deliberate decision. AS a
private citizen, the Executive could
not have consented that these institu-
tions shall perish, much less could he,
in betrayal of so vast and SO sacred a
trust as these free people had coIided
to him. He felt that he had no moral
right to shrink or even count the
chances of his own life in what may
follow. In full view of this great re-
sponsibility he has SO far done what he
has deemed his duty. Will you not,
according to your own judgment per-
form yours? He sincerely hopes that
your views and actions may SO accord
with his as to assure all faithful citi-
zens who have been disturbed of their
rights, of certain and speedy restora-
tion to them under the Constitution
and laws. And having in this chosen
our course without guile and with pure
purpose, let us renew our trust in God
and 60 forward without fear and with
manly hearts"
