Washington.-A loss of 100000
900 bushels of grain, the nations
greatest farm crop. has resulted from
the great damage wrought by drought
and other conditions since July l,
the governments agricultural experts
estimated in their August report. A
total production of 1872 100000 bush
els of corn was predicted. This is
452 100000 bushels less than last
years cop.
The general condition of corn was
placed at 75.8 per cent OF a normal,
compared with S6.9 on July 1. Kan
sas was hit hardest, the condition
there having been reduced from 81
per cent in July to 80 per cent August
l. Oklahoma came next with con-
dition of A against 81 in July, and
Nebraska reported 67 against 81 July
/. These three states have almost 19
per cent OF the total area planted to
corn this year.
A bright spot in the monthly grain
report were. the preliminary statistics
showing production of 511.OOO,0OO
bushels of winter wheat. This is the
greatest harvest of wheat ever
gathered in the United States, ex-
ceeding the record crop of 1902 by TO-
100000 bushels. The figures exceeded
by 28,000.00O the estimate made by
the department in July.
Spring wheat, too, was given an in
creased estimate OF production, it be-
ing 15.00O.000 bushels more than the
July estimate, the total being placed
at 233,0O0.OOO bushels. With the
bumper winter wheat crop and fair
ly good spring wheat production, the
total harvest of all wheat is esti-
mated at 744.O00.OOO bushels. crop
this size would place the years pro-
duction second only to the record crop
of 1901. when 74S.OOO.OOO bushels were
produced.
The harvest of white potatoes, 1t is
estimated. will be smaller by $4,000
900 bushels than the crop of 1912. A
total of 339.O0O,OOO bushels is esti-
mated.

Washington.-Two hours of colfer-
ence Saturday night between President
ate foreign relations comnittee
brought about no change in tie atti-
tude of the administration toward
Mexico, but upon John Lind's report
will depend future action.
The president took the senators in
to his confidence far enough to out
line the following:
That John Lind, his special envoy to
Mexico City. does not bear any solu-
tion of the present situation. but goes
to continue this governments efforts
to induce Provisional President
Huerta to redeem his promises for
free and constitutional elections.
That under no circumstances does
the administration propose to recoS-
nize the Huerta government.
That Mr.. Lind has gone to Mexico
City to be the eyes and ears" of the
Washington administration on the
ground. and to explain the attitude OF
this government when he has fully
familiarized himself with the situa-
tion.
That by Withdrawing Ambassador
Wilson and sending Mr.. Lind the presi-
dent planned to have a man on the
ground who was in sympathy with
the administration here, and was in
no sense a factor in the situation in
Mexico City.
These policies and suggestions of
the president and Secretary Bryan
came out In general discussion. 1t
was made clear that the purpose of
the conference was to establish more
frank and intimate relations between
the Senate and the administration in
the development of the Mexican
policy and In the furtherance of this
idea the president talked freely and
answered many pointed questions.
While the president disclosed no
definite plan for the pacification of
Mexico. the implication remained that
upon Lind's reports would depend to
large extent the future policy of this
country.
There was practically no talk OF
lifting the embargo on the importa'
tOu OF arms into Mexico, winch some
members OF the committee believe
would put a speedy end to the diff.
culties.
The meeting was entirely friendly.
The president did most of the talking
and Secretary Bryan and members OF
the committee added n word here and
there. or the twelve men present only
two senators. Smith of Arizona and
Stone. are believers in policy of ulti-
mate Intervention.

Wilson to investigate the Mexican sit.
uation. arrived safely in Mexico City
Sunday night, according to advices re-
ceiyed at the state department from

mained at his desk until long after
midnight to receive the news.

Give IN Exhibition in Ssuk
Centre Dec, 18th.

Arrangements have been completed
for q high grade athletic event to be
pulled off at the Grand Opera House
in this city, Wednesday evening Dec.
II, at which time Paul Dompke of
Raymond township will take on Ralph
Vita Of football fame. and now q resi-
dent of Hopkins.
Mr.. D0mpke formerly lived at Pipe
stone and came to Stearns county the
early part Of the present year. He is
a high grade and professional wrest-
Ter, having met and defeated some Of
the best men in the country in past
years. There is q strong rivalry ex-
listing between DOmpke and Vita and
the match next Wednesday will settle
a long standing dispute as to which
is the cleverest exponent OF the mat
game.
The contest is to be Of the
catch as catch can style. Vita is a
trifie HEAVIER than the Stearns
county man, perhaps, but the local
wrestler expects to hold up his end of
the game In q manner that will please
his friends. The prices of admission
have been placed at so and rs cents.
The mat will be spread in the center
of the room SO that all may have a
good view Of the contest. Wrestling
is q very popular sport in many sec
lions of the state, but the Herald un-
derstands that it Is comparatively
new hereabouts. A good crowd We'd
nesday evening will probably mean
more contests in the future.

NO REAL DISCREPANCY.

The st. Cloud papers in comment
ing on the report of the secretary and
treasurer Of the Stearns County Ag-
ricultural Society, state that the re-
port of the secretary shows that, in
GLIDING an overdraft carried over
from last year, there exists deficit
of $213.16, while the treasurer's re-
port shows a balance on hand Of
$5.17. The apparent Discrepancy be-
tween the report of the secretary and
treasurer is accounted for by the fact
that the former reported all orders
issued and the treasurer's report only
accounts for the orders paid.
The Society had on hand from last
years fair something like 5000, but
were made on the
grounds during the summer amount
ing to about 500, which accounts for
the oyerdraft from last year.
The premium money FIR m the
state due the society has not yet been
received; when that comes there will
be q balance in the treasury of about
$500

CITY BONDS PAID.

Bonds. This action of the city offic-

prevail of the taxpayers.
The bonds were held by the First
National Bank of Sank Centre and
will not mature until 1919, but the
bank has accepted payment at this
time. The city is fortunate in having
banking institution which, at a sac
rifice to itself, bought the $1,000 re-

par and is now willing to allow pay
ment whenever there are funds avail
able for that purpose.
