CORN BELT BADLY AFFECTED

Washington, Aug. "A tremendous de-
cline in tho cordltlon Of eropS. general
throughout tho country and tracea bic to
drought and intense heat. occurred dur
ing the last month. as indicated by OFF,
cal figures and estimate MADE to-day in
the monthly crop report oe the depart
ment OF agriculture. The report to-day Is
the worst as to general crop conditions
that the department has issued for any
single month since 19ol.
The area most seriously affected cx-
tends from New York and Pennsylvania
westward to the Rocky mountains en-
bracing ali the great corn, wheat and
hay producing states In the country. In
the southern States with tho exception
Of Virginia and North Carolina, ample
rains served to maintain generally favor
able conditions throughout the past
month. These conditions thus far CON
tlnue 10 be favorable.
Conditions in the Pacific northwestern
States are regarded az excellent.
The figures contained in to-fays re-
rort indicate q material slump IN all
crops. Corn, tho most important now,
declined from condition of about fvo
per cent. below tho average, as indl-
Gated hy the July report, TO nearly
fifteen per cent. below the average,
indicating a loss Of $4,000 coo bushels
from the total production as estimated
month ago. In rome states It fell
off nearly % per cent. This does nos
indicate, however, that tine crop wlll
not be great one. because the aero
age this wear is exceptionally large
The condition OF the crop Mt this time
indicates n yiold, per aero smaller than
in any year since 1'0i. although the tn
dicated total production has been eX-
ceeded in only five years In the history
Of the country. Experts think tho crop

Gus rains Of the past week.

IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD
Wisconsin City Finds Motor Driven Fire Truck Economic
cal-Some Repair Hints.

Municipal authorities in every sec
tion Of the country are busy gathering
information as to the probable cost of
maintenance of motor driven fire and
ambulance apparatus. All agree that
the horse drawn apparatus can cover
only about one-third the area of the
motor driven apparatus, and evidence
IS coming in every day to show that
the motor driven service cars are
much cheaper to maintain thar
iroraes.
Chief issrman Of kenosha, Kis., has
given out a statement in which he
says that the fire truck has now been
in service five months, during which
time it has answered thirty mine
alarms and made as many more trips
on inspection runs. The total cost of
upkeep for the five months, including
gasoline, oil and water. is $685., or
La per month. The chief says that
it has previously cost the city S1.25 a
day to feed. shoe, bed and doctor the
single pair of horses which the fire
truck replaced. In this case the cost
of maintaining the horse drawn out
