From Saturdays Daily.
According to the August crop re-
ports given out by the bureau of
crop estimates in cooperation with
the United States weather bureau,
Minnesota is to have an average crop
In its grain as a whole. The fore
cast on corn was more favorable Au-
gust l, than It was July l, and is
considerably above the average crop
of the last five years. II is now be-
lieved that ninety million bushels
viii be produced in the state, and the
average yield for the past five years
has been 1854 900 bushels. Mime
sofa will produce more. than one-third
of the corn in United States this
year.
Outlook On Wheat.
The outlook on wheat is not as fay-
orable now as IL was July 1, and is
below the average. Forty-five million
bushels will probably be produced in
the state, and the United States yield
is estimated at $4,000, 900. The pros
poets for the oats crops have been
decreased in the last month, and
the crop WIN be below the average
somewhat. IL is estimated that the
state will grow 90 100000 bushels and
that in the United States there will
be f,5B0,00O,00O bushels grown. Bar
ley will be about an average crop in
the United States and in Minnesota.
Rye Ahead Of Former Yields.
Rye will go ahead of the crop of
previous years both in the state and
In the country at large. Potatoes
will go about one-fffth more than I'm
previous years and It is estimated
that S0,S00,000 bushels will be taken
up in the state. This is about one
twelfth of the crop Of the nation.
Flax all over the country, including
Minnesota, will fall a little below the
average, and Minnesotas yield is es-
timated at 2,S90,000. The hay crop
is thought to be about half again as
large as the average crop for the
past five years, in Minnesota. and is
somewhat larger In the United States
as a whole.
Cabbage and onions will run
little ahead of previous years, but
the apple crop is to be considerably
short of the usual crop. In the
country at large the apple crop will
be larger than the average of the
past ten years, however.

tuberculosis and diarrheal dis.
eases have been found by the city
visiting nurse to be most preva-
lent among the patients who have
been visited by her during the
past few weeks. A regular meet
ing OF the visiting nurse board was
held in the public library yesterday,
and the nurses report for the work
to be done in July was read, and
proved most satisfactory one.
During the month Miss Muenkel,
the nurse, visited seventy-two diff.
ferent families and 139 calls were
made. She made a survey of the city
and was cordially received and rem
dered assistance wherever possible.
The nurse will continue to be active i'm
the pursuit of her duties and will
respond happily to all who need her
services.
