We have been doing a splendid bus

the results. A satisfied customer
is our aim--that in itself is a good
advertisement. You can send your

the assurance that he will get

NEW EXCHANGE IN OPERATION

The local and long distance lines
are now being operated from the new
exchange in the Consumers Power
cOmpanys building on Main street
anu this change in offices was made
"ith out very few Interruptions in SER
ice. While the actual cut over" oc-
tupied but few minutes, the change
III the location OF Central" without
interfering with the service requires
great amount of carefully prepared
work, more or less of which must be
of a temporary nature due to the
iact that the service wires have to be
conferred at points until the final cut
over" Is made after which the tenn
porary work may be removed piece by
piece as the permanent work takes
its place. Mr.. Stevens of the Con-
sumers Power company states that
some of the lines are disconnected
from them. This work will be COM
pleted with the least possible delay
but until it is completed, it is hoped
that the subscribers will be lenient
in their Judgment.
The telephone installation when
completed will undoubtedly be the fin.
est in the state, the exchange appar.
atus being exactly the same as that
used in large eastern cities.
The company expects to hold an
open house" in the near future so
that the public may have an oppor-
unity to become acquainted with the
intricate apparatus handled by the
much abused hello girl" in mod
ern telephone exchange. Announce
ment Of the date will be made later
and it is hoped that everyone will
take advantage Of the opportunity to
look over the office and exchange.

CROP CONDITIONS.

While the wheat crop has been a
isappointment, according to the
Wall Street Journal, yet the situa-
tion does not justify extreme pessim-
ism. The carry-over from last year
is estimated at 80,000,000 bushels;
and, with the indicated yield of
664, 100000 bushels, would give us
a total of 724,000,000 bushels. Seed
and consumptive requirements call
for about 540,00O,000 bushels,
leaving at least 24,000,00O bushels
for reserves and export without
considering the Canadian crop.
Weather conditions in the North
west for the next few days will de-
eide whether our wheat yield will
be more or less than the govern
ment's indicated yield of $4,000
900 bushels
The corn crop is being watched
with unusual interest this season.
The last estimate of the government
placed the hay crop at more than
twenty-five per cent. less than the
five-year average, a loss of nearly
100000 tons. This in part has
been made up by the farmers SOW
ing catch-crops. But the entire
loss cannot be retrieved. AS for
feeding purposes (not fattening) a
ton of hay is equivalent to thirty
five bushels of corn, or a CORES
ponding weight in oats, it will be
seen how seriously this one shortage
will be a drain on the corn yield.
Over some of the corn belt the
drought has been broken, but while
this will benefit the late paintings
yet it will not put ears on corn that
is tasseled and past the caring
stage. In large portion of the belt
drought has caused poor caring
While it cannot be said that to date
the crop as whole has lost ground
since the last government report, it
certainly has not gained materially
The crop is not as we'll rooted as it
was last season, and therefore is
not as able to Withstand adverse
conditions.
Flowing is going on for Winter
wheat seeding with an acreage esti-
mated as we'll above that of last
year. The worst of it is there is a
general lack of subsoil moisture.
We have no right to assume that
the usual Autumn rains will not
come in due time and be sufficient
to make up the present deficiency.
Nevertheless over large areas of the
agricultural regions the moisture
supply Is deficient, as shown by the
precipitation records, and has been
since 1910. Wheat last Fall in
western portions of the Winter belt
was sown in what was practically
dust, and the other cereals went
into the ground this Spring where
moisture supply was lacking, to take
their chances with nature against
them. The result is now apparent.
The effects of heat and drought in a
great measure can be overcome by
