INCREASE IN cRoP PRICES.

Census Report-A large part Of the
extraordinary increase in the total
! OF farm crops between 1899 and
1909 is attributable to higher prices.
This might be inferred from the fact
tnat. While the acreage Of crops with
acreage reports increased only 80 per
cent, the value Of such crops increased
W per cent. 1t also appears by com-
pairing the percentages Of increase in
h quantity Of the various individual
crops with the percentages Of increase
IN the value. Thus. for all the cereals
together. the production In
creased only IL per cent, while the
value increased 1913 per cent; for hay
and forage the production increased
% per cent and the value 70.2 per
cent: n for cotton (not counting cot
ton seed) the production increased
ILL., per cent and the value 117.3 per
cent.
A more precise calculation Of the
crops has, however, been made by the
census bureau.
For the individual crops for which
both quantity produced and value
were reported at both ~eensuses, the
average value per unit in 1899 was
computed and this was multiplied in
to the quantity produced in 1909. thus
showing the total value which would
have been reported for each CROP in
1909 if the acreage value per unit had
been the same as ten years earlier.
For certain crops. the values we're not
reported separately in 1899. and for
certain other crops quantities were not
reported at either census. but the
analysts covers nine-tenths Of the
crops OF the country as measured by
value.

IOWA WEATHER.

Oes MONIES. Iowa: In respect to
temperature and moisture the past
week was about all that could DO de-
sired for the advancement Of corn
and for general farm work. The lack
OF moisture is. however. beginning
to retard blowing in some parts Of
the state. The temperature was con-
siderable above. and tho rainfall be-
low the normal until Saturday night
when copious showers occurred in
many localities. Corn made very "a.
pid progress toward maturity. and
gives promise Of an exceptionally
large yield IL no damaging frost oc-
ours before October 10. which is the
average date of the first killing frost
OF autumn at Des Moines. The effect
of dry weather was beginning to show
on pastures and potatoes. but the
showers on the night Of August 81.
and September / will be Of great ben
eft. Coed progress was made in
stacking and threshing. and practical.
ly all of tho small grain Is now in
stack or has been threshed.

|GREEGAN WILL
HEAD THE TICKET
CONTINUED from page l.,

AS a candidate. DR.. Creegan said he
would not resort to abuse or vitupera-

campaign. He predicted that the new
party would be a greater and grander
party than the republican party had
been.
This may not be a bed Of roses for

his remarks. He said that some time
ago he had been warned If he took a
stand for Roosevelt. he would be a

The participation Of women dele

features of the convention.
Following the convention there was
a meeting Of the central committee to
lay plans for the campaign. There is
some question whether or not candi-
dates can have their names on the
ballot more than once. and should it
be found that they cannot. and the
central committee is DESTROYS of hav-

Evangelist and Office
Seeker Arrested; Are
Charged with Extortion

New York. Sept. s.-Percy L. Da-
Wis. an alderman inc republican pri-
mary candidate for congress-. and
Eben j. Owens. an evangelist, are I'M
Ger arrest here today charged with
extortion. They were trapped by the
police late last night in the alleged
act of extorting a check for $4,000
from Mrs. Eva B. Carroll for the pur-
chase OF an affidavit in their posses
sion declared to reflect upon her
name. The arrest was made in Mrs.
CAROLS apartments where detec-
tives were hidden while the alleged
bartering Of Davis and Owens with
Mrs. Carroll was going on.
1t is alleged that Davis told Mrs.
Carroll tina as he was to be an active
candidate for congress he needed
funds and would turn the AFFIDAVIT:
Over to her for a consideration. 1t is
alleged that the affidavit was obtained
by Owens from a former companion
Of Mrs. Carroll.

DESERTED FAMILY
Minot Man Leaves Wife and Famil,
To Care for Themselves.

Minot. n. T.. Sept. There are
two little tots in the city of Minot that
have been deserted. so it is alleged. by
their father, Bob MURRAY. A warrant
has been issued for Murray's arrest on
the charge of deserving his children,
an act which under the North Dakota
law is a felony.
Mrs. Murray. the mother of the
girls. is unable to secure work, ac-
%companied by her children. so it may
be necessary for her to place the little
tots in Minot homes. There is moth
ing in the world a mother hates to do
more than to give up her babies. but
sometimes circumstances require this.
Mrs. Murray can easily secure work
at a good wage, should the authorities
be able to secure accommodations for
little tots.
The girls are as pretty as pictures.
They are kept very pretty and neal by
their mother. who seems to lavish on
them the affection hat their father
denies. Sheriff Kelley took the mat
ter up with Captain Scarlet Of the hui
name society, and it is probable that
some arrangements will be made
whereby the baby girls will be given
the best of care.

fair crop. Germany sent samples
which would grade prime. England
exported considerable to Canada last
season. They are having floods now
when dry is needed. Pure seed bill
is a law. It will bar out some Of the
ported last season. The imports last
season were the largest ever known,
attracted by high prices. Prices now
are two dollars lower than rear ago.
Crop is late and receipts are much
smaller than last season. Some &c
tons still predict a larger crop but
acreage Ia short and much will de-
pend upon how the medium fills. It
needs dry weather. Hicks predicts
wet September. Speculation is be-
coming more active and fluctuations

WHEAT MARKET
CLOSED STEADY
Heavy Movement to Market
is Expected in Spring
Wheat Country.

Minneapolis. Sept. 7.-wheat in
Liverpool closed steady 1-s to Ia
lower than yesterday.
The market here was steady at the
stort and December frmed up to So
5-S but the rally was short-lived and
prices broke q cent from the top
point. closing practically the bottom
mark Of the day. New low points
were reached again today for this
year. Receipts are still running very
liberal and weather conditions were
ideal for taking care Of the spring
wheat country crops. Receipts In
Duluth today amounted % 3S4 cars
compared with 376 a year Ago.. Min.
neapolts had 43s cars against 274 last
year. With good weather It is ex-
pected there will be a heavy move
ment to market Of spring wheat and
this with hedging sales places quite
a weight on the market and liberal
concessions in values result from this
cause.
Winnipeg was the leader in the
break and showed the most decline,
their October wheat closing nearly
2 cents lower than last night while
their December future Is down 1 l-2
cents. This was in all likelihood due
to the expected movement of wheat
to that market which is expected to
start in the ear future with favor
able threshing weather.

ed at 81 3-4, 1902 cents lower than
yesterday, September wheat closed at

What Contest Calls For.
The contest calls for the ten best
ears of corn. the best one-half bushel

peck of seed of any one of the forage
crops. Remember. however. that there
is no object in making an exhibit I'M
less YOU have raised a good quantity
