MELON CROP WILL BE SHORT.
Museatine Reports Prospscts Poor
Weather Too Dry.

Muscatine. July 2s.---It is difficult to
conjecture as to just how well or how
poor the watermelon crop in this vicin-
ity will be this year. but grocers gem
orally agree that the crop will be far
In arrears Of that Of last year. At the
time when the melons were Just form
ing on the vines, the dry weather at
fected them, and consequently they had
hard time starting to grow. This Is
given as a reason why the melon crop
this year Is expected to be late. At the
present time the vines are quite green.
hut the melons are few In number. 1t
is pointed ont that II the present
drouth continues the crop WI be poor.
A good rain will help the melons. and
IL the weather 10 favorable some Of
the Monte Christie variety should be on
the market about the 18th Of August.
Most Of the farmers have planted the
Tom Watson melons this year. but so
far Appearances do not promise q
heavy crop. This variety IL a late
melon and usually grows well in this
part Of the country.

FoResEEs a HEAVY CROP.
n. G. Mcmillan Makes Inspection Tour
in Three States.


Sioux City, July 29.-H. G. Mcmillan,
former United States district attorney.
recently returned from an extended
trip thru South Dakota, Nebraska and
Iowa. He states that as far as he was
able to observe the crops in the sec
tons Of the country which he covered
were far above the average. He said.
however. that the situation within Q
radius of fifteen miles of Sioux City Is
not as good as usual. owing to the fact
that this particular section has had
less moisture than other parts.
1T is a peculiar fact" he said. that
in all directions near Sioux City the
small grain, and even to some extent
the corn crop. falls far short OF being
what it should be. This belt. about
fifteen miles wide. extends in all di-
rections from Sioux City"
Mr.. Mcmillan said that southeastern
South Dakota has never seen such
wonderful crops as they will harves:
this year. Clay county is particularly
fortunate. The hot weather has been
very favorable for corn, and that Sec
ton has had the right amount of rain
fall at the right time. The small grain
will yield much better than in previous
years. The heads are we'll filed and
heavy,
The country west Of Mitchell. S. D.,
however. will suffer keenly. The late
corn may yet develop, but a large
share Of the small grain Ia gone.
Sioux City," Mr.. Mcmillan said
Should see the most prosperous year
Of its history. With the exception Of
the small strip spoken of. the whole
district within q radius Of 100 miles is
exceptional. I predict that the larg-
est crop Of years will be harvested this
season."

Canadian Pacific Drops Nearly Eight
 Points-SteeI Falls Below 50.

New York, June 1.-The excitement which attended yesterdays violent break in stocks was absent from to- days trading, which was compara- lively calm and on a much smaller scale, Some progress was made in the early session toward 9 recovery, but the effect of this movement was nuIli- fled by a severe break shortly before the close. Canadian Pacific was the particular point of weakness, falling nearly eight points from its high price of the day to the lowest figure since 1911 Steel sold below 50 for the first time since 1909. Union Pacific dropped to 127 34 and a number of other new low records were made. with virtually the entire active list selling below yes terday's close.
 Bear selling was perhaps the princi- pal factor in the break, which was a disappointment to traders, who believ- ed 8 substantial rally was due after yesterdays collapse. This belief was strengthened by more cheerful reports from London and the rise in American stocks there, followed by a material upturn at the opening there. A further favorable factor was the absence of European lfquidation, which has been dragging heavily on this market re- gently. London trading here was much smaller, being estimated at about 10,- 900 shares, divided between purchases eSA1o Rsc'ACS>- l~CSS Il1POILdIlCS was Heb- tached to the Minnesota rate case de- cision as market factor, and there was some disposition to emphasize points in the decision, overlooked at first, which favor the railroads
 These considerations. as we'll as the technical condition of the market, were effective in supporting the list for a time.
 But it was soon evident that there was no sustained demand for stocks, either from investors or specuIators, and the market gradually lost it's strength
 Conditions in the money market came in for considerable discussion Rates for time loans were stronger, and 1t was said that even these higher rates were nominal, practically no time money being offered Short term note issues amounting to nearly $30,000, GOO were announced, and it was argued that they would impose an additional strain upon the money market.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par vaIue s2,4000O0 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Careful of His War Clubs.

J. Franklin Baker guards his bats like a prina donna guards her jewels. After banging h1s home run in the eighth inning the other day the heavy clubber decided to quit the game and let Orr have a chance for an inning. Before going Baker went to the row of bats in front of the home bench and carefully picked up his three big bud geons. He put them under his arm and disappeared in the tunnel to the club house. Unlike other players. Baker never places his home run implements in the common bat bag. He stores his sticks in his locker and even on the road takes personal care of them. A rule on the Mack team which is never violated is this: Never under any cir cumstances use one of Bakers bats Any violation would instantly cause civil war.
