The official German reports say
that German armies are pursuing the

Winter Wheat.

One substantial assurance of better bust
ness in all directions is the unprecedent
eddy good report on the condition of winte
wheat The winter grain is the larger par
OF one of our most important money crops
the April condition is a fairly good index tC
the harvest, and the grain will be harvested
before hot weather, when droughts more
commonly occur. The Department of Az
riculture points out that there is more
chance of deterioration in winter wheat
when the April condition is very high than
there would be If il were low that is,
there is more to lose.
While this is a caution against naming
the bushels in the coming crop, it does not
alter the fact that the April condition is
taken after the vicissitudes of winter have
been passed. and the grain is much less
likely than spring wheat and corn to be
overtaken by drought,
The area sown last fall is the largest we
have ever had. The loss of acreage during
the winter has not been reported on yet.
but as the winters decline is only 1,6
points, while the average is 3.5 points, 1t
may safely be assumed that less wheat
was winter-killed than ever before. The
area sown is nearly 1000, 900 acres greater
than the area harvested last summer, and
the area lost during the winter must be
very small.
The April condition is four points better
than 1t was year ago, and the area is in
all probability larger, so that crop well
in excess of last years is assured. unless
some calamity should be suffered. Last
year the winter wheat surpassed all records.
The present condition is 1l.6 points better
than l0-year average. The Government
makes no estimates of quantity at this date,
but private estimates Of condition. by vari-
GUS applications of averages and making
various allowances for winter killed fields,
range from over 550.0000O0 to nearly
$50, 100000 bushels. Last year the crop
was 523, 000,0 900 bushels, good deal larger
than any other winter wheat crop, and
very conservative estimates Of this years
crop on the present indications put the
yield al more than 80O.00O.O0O bushels.
That will put money in the pockets Of the
farmers and supply freiehts to the railroads.

Women Vote In The West.

Mr.. Editor:-Two mooted questions In
regard to the practical working of woman
suffrage were answered decisively by the
elections held in Illinois April 7, The first
is the question as to whether or not women
want to vote and would use the privilege
If they had it. In the Illinois counties, as
reported in the press, where accurate fig
ures were available the mems vote was but
one-eiehth greater than the women's vote
This result is surprising when we consider
that every American boy is brought up to
look forward to voting on becoming of age.
while girls have generally been brought
up to think that public affairs do not con-
Germ them. and that the granting of the
vote to women by the State legislature was
not preceded by an exciting Statewide
campaign in which everyone's interest was
aroused, as usually happens when con-
stitutional amendment for woman suffrage
is submitted, and also that all the women
who voted that day were Obliged to get
their names on the register on the one or
two days appointed, while most Of the men
were already registered.
In Chicago IS per cent. of the women
registered voted, as against 72 per cent. of
the men. Although there was no vote
there on the liqour question or any other
matter in which women are supposed to
be generally interested, about $4,000
women turned out to cast their first vote
for the members of the City Council.
1t certainly looks as il a good many
women in Illinois wanted to vote, num-
Der many times larger than the total men,
bership of the suffrage clubs.
The other question answered is whether
women generally are for or against saloons.
This was answered even more conclusively.
Accurate figures for 81 townships which
voted on license or no license according
to the press dispatches, show that women
voted against saloons in the proportion of
7 to 3, while the men voted for them 6 to
4. The result of the womens vote is that
200 out of 800 townships and IL out of
Fl good-sized cities that had before allowed
saloons are now dry territory, while no
place previously dry was changed.
Besides these plain facts. the attempts
of those good ladies who oppose suffrage
to show that saloons flourish by womens
votes look rather foolish. The issue seems
sufficiently clear. Those persons who want
the liquor traffic to 60 on are quite justif-
ed in opposing votes for women. but those
who want it suppressed for the sake of the
manhood and womanhood and boyhoOd
and girlhOod of our country are refusing
their greatest aid when they refuse to
help women win the ballot. NJ LIS.
