Madison.-NOtice of an appeal to
the Dane county circuit court to at
tempt to overturn the decision of the
railroad commission in the express

who appeared against the bill were
Neal Brown and G. D. Jones of Wau-

BRYAN HALTs REPLY TO JAPs.
Secretary of State Gives No Reason
for DclaYinQ Note.

Washington, July 12.-After con-
ference an hour and quarter with
Ambassador Chinda, Secretary Bryan
announced that the dispatch of the re-
ply to the two latest Japanese notes
on the California anti-alien land law
might be deferred until next week. Mr..
Bryan before the conference had said
he had expected to make the reply
before the end of the week. No rea-
son for the change was given.
Mr. Bryan told inQuirers that the
points of his reply were discussed with
Ambassador Chinda but he declined to
make public any part of the details
under consideration. The fact that
Mr.. Bryan proposes to postpone the
dispatch of his reply gave rise to the
belief in diplomatic circles that he
will redraft the note. which it was
supposed was in readiness for trans
mission to the Toxic government.

Cereal Yields Likely to Be Lower
This Year.
OATS FAR BELOW AVERAGE
Corn Acreage Is Less for 1913-Aqqre-
gate in the Leading Grains Placed
at 4,e2e, 100000
Bushels.

Washington, July 1.-THE govern
ment crop report for July issued We'd
nesday indicates bountiful crops OF
all the cereals. but the total produc-
tion this year will be far below the
grand total for last year, when there
were record yields of nearly all the
leading grains.
Compared with other years, how
ever, the present crop promise is good,
and it is possible that, with favorable
conditions during the remainder Of
the growing season, some of the crops
will turn out as we'll as last year, if
not better.
The total yield of the leading cereals
is placed at 1928, 000,0 900 bushels, com
pared with 1851, 100000 bushels year
ago.
The big loss compared with year
ago is in oats, which promise yield
of 1881, 100000 bushels, against 1,41S,-
100000 bushels year ago. Corn is
short 154 10000 600 bushels and the total
wheat crop is 100000 bushels less
than last year Barley is 100000
bushels less than year ago at 1885,
100000 bushels.
Spring wheat promises to yield 112,-
100000 bushels less than a year ago,
with an indicated crop of 100000
bushels Winter wheat will be $4,000
900 bushels heavier at 482,000,00O
bushels, the total wheat crop being
701 100000 bushels, compared with
730,000,000 bushels as finally estimated
in 1912
The first report on corn for the sea-
son shows high condition, $50, but
the acreage is smaller than last year
at 1O6,884,O 900 acres.
Last year the corn acreage was 1885,
10000 acres and the condition July
l was S1.5. The crop promise on that
date was for no larger crop than at
present, although the final estimate
Of the crop was 3,125,000,000 bushels,
while the report issued suggests a har-
vest of 1911, 100000 bushels, or 1874
100000 bushels less than in 1912.
In the big surplus corn states of the
middle west the outlook is for yield
of 1,718,000,000 bushels This COM
pares with 793,0OO,0OO bushels a year
ago. but is nearly 30O,000,00O bushels
more than WIS raised in 1911.
Moreover, as the par yield is ad-
vanced as the season progresses, if the
present condition is maintained until
harvest the crop this year will exceed
the record yield of 1912.
With but few exceptions the corn
crop is uniformly excellent and farther
along than usual at this time of the
year.
Illinois and Iowa both have a prom
Use of 34S,O00,000 bushels of corn, it
being the closest race ever known be-
tween the two states to head the list
of corn producers. Each has a high
promise and conditions have been IA
vorable.
Nebraska is next on the list with the
finest crop it ever has had, indicating
a yield of 270,0O0,O0O bushels. Mis-
souri, will raise nearly as much as last
year with 237,00O,O 600 bushels.

Washington.-Figur regarding the
butter, cheese and condensed milk in
dustry during 1909, just given by the
census bureau, show that in that year
Wisconsin took first place, as meas
ured by the value OF products, dis
placing New York
In 1909 Wisconsin had $3.50 dairy
establishments, turning out products
valued at $53,843,249, which was 1876
per cent of the total value of dairy
products of the United States In the
decade, 1899 to 1909, the Badger dairy
industry had grown 1915 per cent.
Minnesota Also Gains.
In average number of wage earners
and value added by manufacture, New
York still held first place in 1909 and
Wisconsin ranked second, but the per-
Centage of increase for the decade in
these items, as well as in the value
of products, were less for New York
than for Wisconsin. Iowa ranked third
as regards value of products in 1909.
Minnesota, which shows an increase of
96.5 per cent in value of products for
the five-year period, advanced from
fifth place in 1904 to fourth in 1909,
having exchanged positions with ILL
nois, which shows a gain of only 341
per cent for this period.
Wisconsin Largest Butter Producer
In the quantity of butter manufac-
tured in the factories of the industry
there was an increase of 204, 638, 1O7
pounds, or 1877 per cent, during the
decade 1899-19O9 Wisconsin ranked
first in the production of butter in
1909, with 1O3, 884,6S4 pounds; Mime
sofa was second, with 88,S42, SAG
pounds; and Iowa was third, with S.
5S2. 1S7 pounds. Although the manu-
facture of butter was reported from
forty-three states in 1909, the com
bined product of six states, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, New York, Califor-
mia and Michigan, amounting to 400
002.143 pounds, represented 81 per
cent of the total for the industry.
Badger Cheese Industry Leads.
The production of cheese in 1909
was 10 per cent less than in 1904,
and only 1913 per cent greater than
that in 1899, and since both of the
other main products of this industry
show considerable increase for the
period 19O4-19O9, as well as for the
decade, it may be inferred that milk
is less prOfitably used in the manu-
facture of cheese than in the manu-
factuTe of butter or condensed milk.
BY far the largest gain in any state
during the decade 1S99-1909 was that
IN Wisconsin, amounting to 7O,316, 1868
pounds, or 90.4 per cent.
