CROPS MUCH DAMAGED
BY GENERAL OROUTHS
Big Shortage in COrn-Kansas
Hit Hardest-A Bright
Spot Ahead.

Washington, Aug. "a loss OF
3 100, 900 900 bushels of corn, the ma
tons greatest farm crop, has re-
suited from the great damage
wrought by drouth and other condi-
tions since July /, the Govern
ment's agricultural experts esti-
mated to-day in their August crop
report. A total production of g.
672, 100000 bushels OF corn was
predicted. This is ASP 100000
bushels less than last years crop.
The general condition of corn was
placed at 1873 per cent. of nor
NAL, compared with SG.9 per cent.
on July 1. Kansas was hit hardest,
the condition there having been re-
duced from 81 per cent. in July to
80 per cent. on August /. Oklaho-
ma came next with a condition of
"A against 81 in July. and Nebras-
ka reported 81 against. 81 July 1.
These three States have almost 10
per cent. of the total area planted
to corn this year.
A bright spot in the monthly
grain report, however, was the pre-
liminary statistics showing pro-
duction of 511, 100000 bushels of
winter wheat. This is the greatest
harvest of wheat ever gathered in
the United States. exceeding the
record crop of 1902 by 100000
bushels. To-days figures exceeded
by 2S,OOO,000 bushels the estimate
made by the department in July.
Spring wheat, too, was given an
increased estimate of production, it
being 100000 bushels more than
the July estimate, the total being
placed at 233.OOO.OOO bushels. With
the bumper winter wheat crop and
fairly good spring wheat produc-
ton. the total productions of all
wheat is estimated at 744. 100000
bushels. A crop this size would
place the years production second
only to the record crop of 1901.
when 74S.O00,OOO bushels were pro-
duced.
The harvest of white potatoes, IL
is estimated, will be smaller by 49,
100000 bushels than the crop of
1912. A total of S39,0OO.O0O bush
els is estimated.

counties fairs are to be held for the
first time in two to ten years.
There was a time when there was
nothing more popular with the
country people than county fair,
and they turned out by the thous-
ands in their attendance. 1t was
an occasion looked forward to by
the people. all the year, for gala
time. and no merrier crowd could
be seen anywhere than those who
attended the county fair.
But several years ago the at
tendance began to lessen, and the
county fairs began to wane. Some
said the racing had killed them !;
others declared that the salacious
tented aggregations had caused tho
people to remain away; still others
claimed that there was not enough
variety, and the programs were not
kept up to date. 1t matters not
what may have caused it. sufficient
to know that the county fair lost
much of it's popularity.
Curing these years of adversely,
Haviess county never missed fair,
but a number were given at fl
rancial loss and others paid but lit

den. Greensboro is to have a fair
this year and the promoter prom
err hopes that he may be amply re-
warded for his efforts.
But in the past few years the
county fairs have regained some of
their lost prestige. and they are be-
ing held and to be held in counties
all over the State.

PROPHECY OF ORMsBY M'HARG
Who Was Organizer of Reese

tiOn at Chicago.
HIS REASONS FOR PREDICTION

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 9.-"Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be the nominee
of the Republican party in 1915"
declared Ormsby McHarg, of New
York, former Assistant Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, and the or
ganizer of the Roosevelt contesting
delegations in Southern States be-
fore the last Republican National
Convention.
McHarg is in Detroit. visiting
friends.
THE collapse of the Bull Moose
party has been shown Enthusiastically
by recent returns in New York and
New jersey" said McHarg. I'm
one New Jersey district, where the
Republican and Bull Moose candi-
dates ran neck and neck in 1912,
the enrolment and the election
showed the Republican strength
was four TO one. And in New York
the Bull Moose party enrolled only
{ per cent of their own enrolment
of last fall.
There will be few of the DEM
ocrats of the present Congress re-
turned in 1914. AS to the situation
in the Republican party. all the
signs point to one candidate. The
conservative Republicans last fall
had some one with whom to resist
Roosevelt. i.
"They had a man in the Presi-
dents chair and with him a FEEDER
al organization. This year they
have nobody. and yet every one who
knows Roosevelt knows that he is
at heart conservative. The reason
| like him is that he is a cOnserva-
tive. He made radical speech at
Columbus in order to get the La
Toilette following. and he got it.
Nov, If Roosevelt is unopposed
on the conservative side. what is
the outlook on the radical side?
There are a number of men who are
prominent enough in that wing, but
they are not men who could COM
mand Presidential nomination.
Borah could not. La Toilette could
not. Cummings could not. We
must remember that large num-
Der of States will vote by primary
for the candidates for President,
and We shall have a more populistic
and radical Republican convention
than we have ever known. And ev-
erything that takes place focuses
our attention more and more on
Roosevelt"

THE SITUATION IL VERY ACUTE

New York, Aug. President

war with the United States.
He hopes to have the aid of the
Japanese Government if hostilities
begin. Mexico has already purchas-

diplomatic crisis caused by the res

that General Huerta is growing in
popularity because of his defiance
of this country.
One letter received to-day says:
