According to reports this country Is
again to be blessed with abundant
crops. This good news win doubtless
be hailed with delight by all classes
Of people, because they can enjoy the
assurance Of having plenty until an
other crop is harvested. Not all coun-
tries are 50 situated. In many places
pestilence and droughts have placed
upon the people great hardship, and
how they will subslst is question
difficult of solution. The American
people should be greatful that we are
not facing any great hardship, and
they should rejoice to know that
while we have plenty at home, we can
sell to our less fortunate brothers and
still be in the midst of abundance.

SAFE AERoPLANEs

The announcement that army ex-
perts hope to have in operation in the
near future aeroplanes that will not
turn turtle, and that will be reason
ably safe and practical air vehicles,
will be welcomed by millions Of per
sons who have no present intention
of awaiting The almost unbroken Sc
ries of tragedies that marks the de-
velopment of the aeroplane appalls
the onlooker The inventor who can
improve upon existing machines by
making them safe as well as swift
will be one to whom the world will
owe and freely acknowledge, debt of
gratitude. At the same time ii should
be borne in mind that a very large
proportion of fatal accidents are due
to the exhibition feature of aeroplan-
ing. Difficult maneuvers are attempt
ed for spectacular effect at aviation
meets" and tragical results are not
an uncommon result. OF course, il
may be argued that the aerial uavlga-
ton problem can never be solved by
straight flights, and that maneuvers
are necessarily part of aviation.
Nevertheless many aviators' lives
have been forfeited in exhibitions be
cause the crowd has been on hand and
the meet has progressed despite
weather condition. which would have
deferred aviators If they had not been
performers in a show.
Inasn,uch AZ there ia no urngnect
of the exhibition feature of aeroplan-
ing being eliminated. the inventor of
the first non-capsizable machine is
awaited with impotence by the spec
tators of the progress Of aviation, and
with pathetic anxiety by those who
have husbands. sons and daughters
engaged in the perilous adventures Of
the performer in aviation exhibitions.

Crimson Glover For Orchard Cover
Crop.
rs, there anything better than Grim
son clover for cover crop in the
orchard to be plowed under next
spring." W. r.. III.
Crimson clover for most sections of
West Virginia is one of the best Gov
er crops that can be used. Others are
good however, and one would make
no mistake in using SOW peas, soy
beans, mammoth red clover, or a COM
bination of clovers. A good cover
crop may be secured by mixing COW
horn turnip, crimson clover and rye.
nthe last named mixture use twelve
to fifteen pounds of crimson clover
seed, three pecks of rye and pound
of COW horn turnips.

THE STOCK MARKET
BY Hugh M. Creighton

The unexpected shrinkage in re-
serves shown by last. Saturdays Bank
Statement has resulted in higher rates
for both call and time money, and a
further advance In rates for CONNER.
cial paper. This has been particular
ly sdisconcerting
Even though rates are higher in our
market they are lower abroad than
has been the case for many months.
The open rate In Berlin. the weak
est spot Of all European centers, this
week declined from rs per cent 10 3
IA per cent.
The Stock Market.
The various reports and statements,
on which had been based the expecta
ton of higher prices, when made pub
lie this week, We're not as FAVORABLE
as expected.
The governments monthly report OF
grain conditions as Of June 25 and the
U. s. Steel Corporations statement of
untitled orders on hand June 80 we're
not as encouraging as anticipated.
Unfortunately for the market, little
credence is ever given the reports fur
nished by the Copper Producers As
ISOLATION. This months report showed
a decrease In the stock of surplus cop
per on hand of over five million
pounds; nevertheless, in the face of
this report copper metal declined from
oil ivh ratsix Of A 20 n
a pound. This weakness in copper
metal was quickly reflected in copper
shares.
Taken as whole, the most surpris-
ing thing about the market this week
is that it did not decline more than
it did
The bank statement alone showing
as it did lower reserves than has been
the case since 1907 was enough to
cause at least ten-point recession,
but when to this factor was added a
puncture in the high priced copper
bubble and statement of agricultural
conditions, none too encouraging, it's
stubborn resistance under pressure
clearly demonstrated that stocks, to
say the least, are in very strong hands.
In the meantime commercial bust
ness is fair. industrial and manufac-
turing business active, and the coun-
try is generally optimistic over the
future.
July is always critical month in
the market but ! do not expect the
recession to go much further before
a level is reached from which an adj
vance can be expected.

THE CROP REPORT

On the first OF this month the pros.
pect for ample crops was excellent
Winter wheat never recovered from
the serious injury done last winter,
and there was slight impairment
during June, but this change was
very small. The crop estimate July
was about 100000 bushels less thar
that OF June. The yield per acre is
nearly bushel an acre less than last
year, and the total estimated loss oil
winter wheat compared with last
year Is 100000 bushels. Spring
wheat also deteriorated somewha;
last month, but the condition is very
much better than 1t was a year ago
and decidedly better than the aver.
age condition at this date for ten
years. The estimate OF yield is 5000.
900 bushels more than month age,
and as the condition figures are low
err this can only be accounted for by
larger estimate of the area. The
June estimate was based on figures
from only four States, while the July
estimate reflects conditions in the
whole spring wheat belt The total
wheat prospect Is now a few million
bushels greater than the actual harT'
est of last year At this time last
year the drought was only beginning
to do its destructive work.
The corn acreage, this year is more
than 100000 greater than last year
The condition is slightly better than
year ago, but not so high as the ten
year average. The idicated yield is
better than last year, but not so high
as the ten-year average. The esti-
mated production is nearly 100000
900 bushels more than last year. The
crop of last year is now reckoned at
but little more than two and hall
billion bushels. This is very much
less than the amount promised early
in the season. While corn did suffer
from dry weather the main cause OF
the apparent shrinkage was a revis-
ion of the figures of the Department
of agriculture, which is generally too
high, to make them harmonic with
the returns in the census for the year
1909. SO that comparisons of this and
last year with earlier years cannot be
made very fairly. The fact that the
present promise of the crop is for
nearly 300,000,000 bushels more than
the harvest of last year Is an assur-
ance that If we do not suffer another
drought we shall have a very large
corn yield.
Oats promise a larger crop now
than they did a month ago, and the
outlook is for more than 200,000,)00
bushels in excess of last years crop
which was large one in spite of the
drought. The harvest fell far below
the promise early in the season, but
even so the crop was a large one.
While there is little prospect OF
beating any records there are ample
assurances of liberal crops if we es'
care food and drought and other cal
amity.
