Crop Conditions.

terial difference from that re-
ported one month ago. The state
average is now estimated at 1O2
per cent, or about 15s bushels
pei. acre. Damage by joint worm
| is estimated at 4 per cent. One
year ago, to date, the prospect
was estimated at "a per cent.
The harvest produced less than
%, 600, 600 bushels. The present
acreage is less than that harves-
ted in 1913. The total produc-
ton should equal, but it is doubt
full whether it will exceed, the
)production of last year.
A crop report, other than that
issued by the Agricultural Com
mission Of Ohio, estimates Ohio
1914 wheat production at 40, :
900, 900 bushels. From this same
source last year the report was
circulated that the wheat crop
had suffered untold damage by
ravages of joint worm. The har-
vest proved that this was a false
alarm. The Ohio report is COM
piled from reports received from
more than 1000 observing, in
telligent farmers of the Buckeye
state. Past years proved its ac-
curacy. 1t remains for the har-
vest to verify our present predic-
tion as to the production. Far
mers should beware of any eft
forts to depress the price Of
wheat.
Barley prospect is estimated at
80 per cent compared with nor
NAL yield.
Rye shows a prospect of 95 per
cent compared with normal yield.
Oats have declined 9 per cent
during the past month. The pre-
sent prospect is estimated at "a
per cent. The poorest prospect
is reported from counties CON-
prising the southwest section of
the state. There the average
aspect is but 81 ger cent. This
| is due principally to the extreme
drouth prevailing in that section,
| The area planted to corn com,
pared with last year is estimated
at 96 per cent. Condition of CROP
is estimated at 80 per cent com
pared with an average. On the
corresponding date, one year ago,
corn condition was estimated al
80 per cent. Damage by cut
worm is estimated at 3 per cent
Generally, over the state it

The small shoe merchants at
tribute their shortage of sales as
against a year ago to the large
number of commercial houses
that are either working less than
full time or have closed shop en-
tirely. Shortage of business with
these concerns or labor contro-
versies are the causes of re-
duction in the workingman's
wage envelope. This reduction
in hours of employment and con-
sequent loss in wages forces the
workingmen and their families
to play safe by doing as little
buying as possible. Footwear

The plant of the Shoals (Ind.) }
Pearl Button Company has closed
temporarily, owing to unsettled
financial conditions and inability
to dispose of manufactured pro-
duct. They have on hand many
thousands of dollars worth of
finished product, which they are
unable to market at paying pric-
es. Forty men, and all of them
received high wages. are out OF
employment. It is not known
when the plant will resume ope-
rations. The owners are all Dem
ocrats, one of the principal stock
holders of the company being
Fabius Gwin, recently Democra-
tic district chairman and vice
state chairman. and we'll known

According TO Secretary of Com
merce Redfeld foreign manufac-
turers sent into the United States
during the iirst eight months of
the new tariff 8.8 per cent more
of their finished products than
they did under the old. But this
is not the full measure of the eff
fects of the new tariff. Low for
eign quotations of themselves,
without any importations, often
have a marked effect on the do.

While the managers of many
of the large industrial corpora
tions think it inexpedient to re-
port for publication what their
business for the first half of the
present calendar year was. mea-
sured in dollars. and compared
with a like period in the previous
year, as well as in 1912, never
theless some of them do tell in
confidence what their recent ex-
periences have been. For in
stance, one of the largest of Amer
lean industrial corporations caus-
ed a comparison to be made on
the 1st of July of the business
done in the first six months of
1912, and then again the business
of a like period of last year, and
also the business done in the six
months which have just ended.
Their sales in a period of normal
activity approximate about $3,-
600, 600 for six months. The to-
tai business done in the first six
months of 1912 was a little under
three millions. The total busi-
ness done last year in the same
period was a little over 81, $780,
600. Their business for the first
six months of the present year
was, in round numbers, 5000, 900.
