SOME MORE CHEERFUL CROP REPORTS

CHICAGO, August tO.-Bankers and
commission men, while disappointed
with the Government crop estimates,
do not accept them as indicative Of
the actual present conditions in the
agricultural districts. In other words,
letters from bankers in the interior
fail to show crop conditions as bad as
the Agricultural Department figures
them.
That there has been considerable
crop damage and that the crops are
decidedly spotted is clearly indicated
by these letters, some showing de-
cidedly optimistic estimates, while
others in the same state are the re-
verse. This is especially true in the
Northwest in the spring wheat coun-
try and in the corn belt, but wherever
the black lands exist the indications
seem to point to a good corn crop,
and it is this that is leading the bank
ers to believe that the total yield of
corn this year will be greater than
the Government figures indicate.
Merchants report a little better tone
to business, and if anything those
dealing in necessaries are a little
more cheerful than they were a few
weeks ago.
President Ripley, of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe, whose pessi-
mistic interview some months ago
created quite ripple in financial cir
Giles, now takes totally different
view. He stated that from careful re-
ports along the lines of his railroad
system, which radiates throughout the
corn belt of the Middle West, there
has been a very decided improvement
in the crop situation in the last few
days, and he looks for an active fall
business.
E. j. Welser, vice-president of the
First National Bank of Fargo, North
Dakota, was in the city today, and
while admitting that the spring wheat
crops have been damaged in North
Dakota, he declares that the corn crop
is good and that the state will pro-
duce about five times as much corn
this year as it ever has. Another
banker from that state bore out this
statement, while a South Dakota
banker estimated an addition of $780,
100000 to the new wealth in that
state
President F. B. Forgan, of the First
National Bank, said he did not care
to comment on the Government crop
report, and preferred to rely upon
the figures made by those who have
made a closer study of crop condi-
lions than he could do through scat
tered advices.
w. F. Fenton, vice-president of the
National Bank of the Republic, said:
81 do not wish to appear to be in
conflict with the Government crop
figures, but the advices to this bank
do not bear out the conditions and
yields indicated in today's crop esti.
mates. OF course, the crop situation
this year is somewhat spotted. The
weather has been freaky, and hence
it is difficult to get a clear idea of
possible results from the crops, but
: think they are better than the Gov
eminent report indicates; at least
our advices from the interior show
them to be such. l was talking witt
a banker from Kansas City today, who
was emphatic in his statement that
the crops in Kansas this year were
pretty good. The cotton crop is ex

sas is frst-class. OF course, in Okla

MEASURING THE
WAILUKU WATER

Engineer w. +. Martin, in charge
of the photographic work of the
United States Geological Survey,
states that active work has been
started in the measuring of the water
available on the upper courses of the
Wailuku river, on Hawaii, and some
of the other streams in the Hilo dis
trict. Assistant Engineer Pierce has
been instructed to push these meas
urements as fast as possible at an
elevation of about 1000 to $500 feet.
The results Of these tests will be
eagerly looked for by the projectors
of the Ka-u ditch scheme which pro-
poses to take water from the streams
referred to- at about the elevation
named.
Mr.. Martin states that the work in
this district is very difficult on ac-
count of the almost constant rainfall
and the exceedingly dense vegetation.
This has been particularly true dur
ing the present season, as the rainfall
has been much above the average
for this naturally rainy district, for
the past six months or more.

Our advices from Nebraska in the
last twenty-four hours show that re.
cent rains have improved conditions
there immensely and they are very
cheerful, while in Iowa, the outlook
is very satisfactory. Another indica-
ton that we will have a pretty good
crop, at least up to the average and
possibly a little better, is reflected in
the attitude of the merchants at this
center If our advices are to be lie.
lied upon I believe that the crops will
turn out to be better than the Govern
ment report"
Nelson n. Lapert, vice-president Of
the Fort Dearborn National Bank,
said:
Our reports show very satisfac-
tory conditions all through the corn
belt, and advices seem to indicate
that the country will have a little bet.

from bankers all through the west fail
to indicate anything that would cause

crops in favor Of the Government es.

Carter beat that?"
That is the right sort of farming.
1t beats a very large crop on one
acre at great expense out of sight.
Conrad McCarter did not spend as
much for fertilizer and manure as
Jerry Moore did on his one acre.
But let the Jerry Moores continue
to make big yields on one, acre. it
is great thing, for it shows the
productive capacity Of our soil when
much fertilizer is added.
But the farmers of the, future will
show what the soil can do by deep
plowing, rotation Of crops and plant

rad McCarter class will do that sort

were never paid for.
The case occupied all of the after

favor for the respondent. and that the
cross-ties transaction had nothing
whatever to do with the Banking &
Mercantile Company. It was also
shown that Mr.. Bowman had given
