at 103 per cent, based upon fif.
teen bushels per acre. represent
ing 100 per cent. On this basis
| it is estimated that the harvest
should produce approximately
| 25, 100000 bushels. These fig
ures will show some difference
when the results of the actual
harvest are known, and the total
production should equal that of
1913. Wheat is in much better
condition in the northern section
| of the state than in the southern
counties. In the latter the con-
tlnued drouth shows it's damag-
ing effect, while the crop has
suffered to some extent by raw
ages of the Hessian fly. The
month of May was exceedingly
dry. Rain is badly needed over
the state. But little of the orig
inal wheat early seeded has been
abandoned this spring. The re-
port shows a total of but 1,754
acres for the entire state. On
the corresponding date in 1913
wheat prospect was estimated at
81 per cent. Many counties of
the state Indicate a bumper crop.
Auglaize county reports the fin
est prosrect-135 per cent. Ad-
ans county has the poorest pros
pect-71 per cent. The general
average prospect of the counties
comprising the northeast and
northwest sections of the state
is estimated at 108 per cent. The
counties comprising the southeast
and southN est sections of the
state show an average prospect
of 95 per cent. The present mar
ket price of wheat is SO cents
per bushel.
Oats seeding was late owing to
wet weather at that time, and
the plant has made slow growth
due to drouth the past month.
The prospect is estimated at 83
per cent compared with normal
yield, based on 80 bushels per
acre. representing 100 per cent.
One year ago the prospect was
estimated at 80 per cent. The
| present acreage is over 100000
acres less than that of last year,
hence it is not probable that the
harvest will produce as much as
| in 1918. The present market
| price of oats is Al cents a hushel.
Corn planting has been delay
ed owing to the dry weather. In
some sections plowing has not as
yet been completed. Correspon-
dents report that a large acreage
will be planted. The crop is bad
ly in need Of rain.
The present prospect Of rye is

The Elk never weeps over his
own troubles, but for the stricken
souls of earth his tears of pity
are near the surface. He loves
children, respects old age, and so
far as I have seen doesn't incline
especially toward indifference to
feminine charms.
l believe this will hold: No
little APOLOGY for a man ever
Joined the Elks-he would not
feel at home among them. To be
an Elk you must have faith in
other men, faith in yourself, and
faith in the universe.
The Elks all look alike, and
are all of one age. Just what that
age Is l have not made out, but it
lies somewhere between so and
80. No Elk ever Is over 80, no
matter how long he has lived, and
none weigh over 200 pounds. They
all have the joyous, boyish, bub-

heard of one retiring from bust
ness.
There seems to be little danger
that the Elks' fraternity will
evolve into religion. He knows
that truth is a point of view, that
all IS relative, that nothing is
final nor absolute, nor can 1t be
in a world where nothing is per-
manent but change
So the Elk's religion is Now
and Here; to partake of all good
things in moderation; to give out
love and kindness because these
things come back, and to supply a
scrap only to the man who re-
peatedly asks for it, and will ac-
cept nothing else-this as a mat
ter of accommodation.
To do good is the first prong in
an Elk's creed. And he realizes,
being wise. that the best way to
benefit yourself is to benefit
others.
