The situation in the grain fields
was concisely described last Monday
in a dispatch from Chicago, as mean
ing this-that the agricultural west
stood to make or lose one OF the great.
est crops in it's history BY tlis it was
meant that, if sufficient rainfall were
to follow the torrid heat and drought
which. have lately been prevailing, eX
cellent harvests of those TWO great
cereals might be reckCned on; but
that if conditions which began last
week were TO be long continued, the
result on both crops might be disas
trous.
So far as concerns the actual prob
abilities, it is still too early to be
confident, whether for good or i'll. Cot
ton has surprised every one by emerg-
ing from June in actually better con-
dition than it entered it, But it was
the utterly abnormal weather which
began with last week. which repeated
ly brought the Thermometer to 100
Fahrenheit in the grain belt with such
extremes as 115 in Kansas, and
which. in the first few days of the
present week, created similarly pros
trating conditions in every state from
tie Rocky mountains to the Atlantic
and from the Canadian border to
Mason and Dixon's line-it was this
which stirred up apprehension. Pre-
cedents Of ten to thirty years were
broken by the higl temperatures in
dozens Of observation points from the
Missouri eastward to the coast: but
this was not all. Of itself. this roast
ing of. almost whole continent was
unusual; for the ordinary rule of
things is for conditions in one sec
ton to offset conditions in another.
Abnormal GOODNESS in the south will
match abnormal heat in the north. or
heavy rainfall west will make good
an eastern drought. The prenome.
non of the opening of this July was

IRENE heat in almost every section of

The history of such weather vicissi-
tudes in this country is interesting.
TIE last season of overwhelmingly de-
structive heat was 1901; it came at
just this time. centered on the corn
belt, was followed by the dreaded hot
winds OF the middle plains. and in al
most fortnight had cut down the
corn crops condition from S1.3. as of
July I, to "a in August. with the ulti-
mate yield cut down 100000, 900 BUSH
els, or nearly 80 per cent from the
year before. But in that very year,
conditions in the wheat belt were so
favorable that We arvested the larg-
est of all our wheat crops. before or
since.
So. in a different way. with the
wheat crop blight. of 1904, when
spring wheat condition fell in August
from 81 IL to 661-4, and the whole
yield decreased 85.0OO.OOO bushels

OF the year before Other crops of
1904 Jared otherwise; the corn crop
was tire second largest on record and
the cotton crop the largest. And so,
too, even of 1894, when such july heat
as lis weeks, in the Missouri valley,
ruined one-fourth of the country's
corn crop. That seasons wheat yield

MADE BEAUTIFUL START.

BALTIMORE, July 11.-Cheered
by about so rural admirers, Charles
X. Hamilton and Harry N. Atwood,
daring Boston aviators, gracefully
assembled at Stemmers Run, Nd, at
4:35 o'clock this morning and made
magnificent start for College Park
on their last lap of the record-break-
ing overland flight from Boston to
the national capital.
The weather couldn't have been
better. Ascending to an elevation of
about 300 feet, the aviators stemmed
gracefully over the little group of
spectators and with farewell wave
headed southwest and in few Sec
onds disappeared from view over the
wooded hills.
Both men and the machine were in
excellent working condition and there
was not the slightest hitch. The Penn

ONLY TWO TO BE RETAINED
Younger Men Will Henceforth Direct
Destinies of Mexico.

Mexico City, March 27.-With the
old cabinet out and the probability
that not more than two of its members
will be retained the likely personnel
of the new ministry is the chief topic
of discussion in the capital.
The resignation of the cabinet is
taken as an indication that Finance
Minister Limantour's policies are pre-
vailing with President Diaz. The lat
ter has given no intimation of his in
tentions further than a determination
to appoint younger men to succeed
the ministers who are advanced in
age.
The naming of General Bernardo
Reyes for the portfolio of war and
marine is possible. 1t is believed thai
Limantour will remain at the head ol
the department of finance despite the
fact that he is along in years, although
1t is thought by some that he will sue
ceed Creel as minister of foreign af
fairs.
