Farm Woman Neglected.

This inquiry results from the re-
ceipt of letter addressed to the Sec
rotary, in which the writer said: 1.-THE
farm woman has been the most neg
lected factor in the rural problem, and
she has been especially neglected by
the national department Of agricul-
ture."
This letter was written not by o
woman, but by a broad-minded man,
so thoroughly In touch with the agri-
cultural and domestic needs of the
country that his opinions have great
weight. Following the receipt OF this
letter, the secretary determined that
the best way for the department to
learn how to give these women the
fullest possible place in agricultural
production warrants was to write to
the women themselves and ask them
to make their own suggestions.

suited In the loss OF 321 900, 900 bush
els, reducing the corn crop estimates
to 1851, 100000 bushels. This de.

OF about 300,000,000 bushels during
July and August The loss brought
the total up 62l 100000 bushels since
the first estimates OF corn crop pros
poets were made by the government.

bringing the condition OF the crop to
81 per cent of a normal. The loss In

Record Crop Of Wheat
Never before in the history of the
country has there been such a boun-
tiful wheat harvest as has been gath
cred this year. This was due princi-
pally to the bumper crop of winter
wheat. The government estimate of
the spring wheat crop showed increas'
ed prospects for that crop, making the
total production 243,000,00o bushels,
or an increase of 43 per cent over
the August estimate. This increase
brought the estimate of total wheat
| crop of the country to 754 100000, or
5000, 900 more than the great record
crop of 1901.
Oats prospects, too, showed an in
crease of 81 per cent as a result OF
| the conditions existing during August
and the crop now is estimated at
1.O66, 600, 900 bushels, or 3S,OCO,OOC
more than predicted in August
Some Crops Not Damaged.

caused deterioration which is esti
mated to have resulted in the loss Of
$4,000 900 bushels of potatoes. $4,000,
600 pounds of tobacco and 1000, 00C
tons OF hay. Barley. fax and rice
seem to have escaped damaging
weather, the prospects during Augls
having remained unchanged.
Little relief from the continued
heat and drought is held out by tn
weather bureau, which reported tina
the week since the crop report wa
taken was very generally one of tn,
warmest ever known in the corr
growing states, that little beneficial
rain had fallen and that the sever
drought continued very general.

The logical place for the mer-
chants to advertise their wares so
as to attract the most attention is
in the medium that reaches the
greatest number of people who are
likely to visit the stores. The
local newspaper offers the best
advertising medium for the mer-
chants. The paper goes into the
home, is read by every member of
the family and the ads will attract
attention if the merchants will
make their appeal for trade III a
clear and concise manner.
