By HOLLAND

New York, February (SpeciaL)-It is a little early for the reports that con- vey somewhat depressing predictions re- specting the harvest of the summer and fail to be put in circulation. Customarily these reports are made early in the spring.
 Some have come within few days to New York and the impression which they would make-were it not for the ex- perience of other years with such reports would not be very pleasing. It has usually been observed that predictions of this kind made early in the spring are not justified by the results, therefore lit tie attention is paid to these reports. They are offset by information which has come to New York recently from some of the larger wheat growing belts of the United States especially the northwest. These reports do not contain any predic- tions. They do no more than say that climatic conditions, especially in much the greater part of the northwest, are especially favorable in their influence upon the harvest of next summer.
 That in fact, is all that can be said. If much of the wheat belt of the north west IS now well Dlankered With snow, that is condition which is regarded as very favorable. When the snow is gone, the seed rapidly develops, and if there be no later climatic conditions that are un- favorable then the winter snow is the fer tilizer which induces large harvest. Even though there be floods in the mountain ous regions because of melting snow, nevertheless these waters leave the soil thoroughly soaked, so to speak, so that if there be dry spells later in the year the seed is abundantly nourished with moisture
 PROSPERITY IN NORTHWEST
 F. A. Chamberlain, president of one of the largest of the banks of the northwest, the First and Security National bank of Minneapolis, has been able to compile statistics which tell the story in figures of the marvellous growth of that section of the country. It is there that no small part of the wheat harvests of the United States are garnered and it is there that winter conditions were never more favor able, so far as agriculture is concerned, than they have been this winter.
 The wealth of the United States has been wonderfully increased through the harvests of that part of the northwest which contain the state of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Mon tana. These are the states which when territories were regarded by James J. Hill as certain, under development to produce very great crops, and it was in order to

 case will be begun Monday morning in the Morgan county law and equity court He is charged with killing w. A. danly, chief electrician of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, in November Trial of the case was be- gun last month, but the strain of the sensational testimony so unnerved one juror that a mistrial was entered and the jury discharged. The juror, Luth- CT Blevins of Hartselle, went tempor- arily insane. Tibbetts does not deny he killed Hanly, but entered a formal plea that the slain man had wrecked his home. There are 150 witnesses in the case, including scores of railroad employees, many of whom were wit nesses to the shooting and live in New Orleans and Cincinnati.
