PROMISE OF THE CROPS.

According to the special report on the
condition of the crops which has been
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture, the country will probably harvest
fewer bushels of grain this year than
1t did in 1912. 1t is too early to be
sure of the yield of corn and oats,
however, or of spring wheat. One
cheerful fact IS that the grain which is
already safe-winter wheat-makes a
large gain over the yield of last year
The average yield is better in pro-
portion to the acreage harvested, and
there is an important increase in the
area on which fall-sown wheat was
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-07-15

cut. Comparatively few fields were
plowed up last spring on account of
| winter killing.
But this gain will be slightly more
than offset. it appears. by the falling
off in the condition of spring wheat.
June was a hard month for that grain
and the indications are that it will not
come within 10000, 900 bushels of the
fine record of 1912. The decrease will
be about one-third, last years crop
having been of remarkable size and
quality. Nature is evening things up
this year by giving the best harvests
of wheat to the winter wheat states
which Jared worst in 1912, and dealing
least generously with the spring wheat
states where the yield last summer was
immense.
There will be a large decrease in the
total yield of oats, but that has long
been expected. The crop of last year
was SO far above the average, or even
the best previous record, that repeti-
ton of that enormous harvest was not
to be looked for under any circum-
stances.
Corn, however. which had not been
counted upon to come anywhere near
the record of 1912. promises almost as
good a harvest as that of last year.
With favorable weather for the next
two months it may be even better. The
government report makes the average
condition of that grain remarkably
good, and it is by far the most i'm
portant of the cereals grown in the
United States.
Taking all grains together, the pres
ent outlook is for considerable de-
cline from the record figures of 1912
but nevertheless for a very good aver
age yield. The country has reason to
count upon the farms for their usual
great contribution to the wealth and
prosperity of the nation.

EVENING CHIT
Can You Translate2
By RUTA CAMERON.

Are you good at translating?
NO, L don't mean translating French OF
German or any of the vocal languages.
What mean is, are you good at trans
laung the language of life; are you able
to translate other peoples experiences
and emotions into terms of your own ex-
perfenceS and emotions.
When you encounter in anyone, a feel
ing which you cannot understand, do you
promptly brand that emotion as unrea-
sonable and incomprehensible, or do you
take out the dictionary of your own ex-
perience and try to translate it?
For instance, you have a friend who
will do anything on earth for you except
write to you. When you are together you
are the best of comrades, and yet when
you are apart your letters to her remain
unanswered for weeks. You know she
has plenty of time, and her silence is in
COMPREHENSIVE to you, or worse still, only
to be explained by the fact that she does
not really prize your friendship. Now
in answer to your reproaches she often
says to you, But you don't know how
! hate to write letters. I'd rather do a
washing than write letter." And though
you have been obliged perforce to &C
cept that excuse, you have really con-
sidered 1t all nonsense and felt that It
merely meant that she was lazy or indif-
ferent. And in the light of the ease with
which you, yourself, dash off letter, 1t
it in that light. take your dictionary and
translate Try to think of some little
thing which you desperately hate to do.
There is some such thing I'm sure. Yes,
I knew it; you hate to hake formal call:
you'd rather do washing. Very well,
then, try to realize that that's the way
she feels about writing a letter. No.
there's no reason why she should any
more than there is any reason why you
should hate to make a formal call; but
you hate the one and she, the other, and
if you will think hard of the state of
mind into which the mere thought of
formal call throws you, I am sure you
will be able to forgive her more easily
the next time she fails to answer your
letter.
There is nothing on earth hate quite
so much as doing up bundle. When
have to do up a bundle for the mall I
often put it off for days. and always. II
possible, persuade someone else to do 1t
for me- 1t is very silly notion of mine
know, but I will say for II that IL has
helped me wonderfully in understanding
other peoples silly notions.
The art of translation is especially need
ed between husbands and wives, because
the two sexes look at life from such
different angle. Things that seem little
to man often seem big to woman ana
vice versa Love. Of course, helps each to
indulge the others viewpoint, but the art
of translation helps them to go lot fur
ther-and understand.
