This is nuearly a billion dollars fnore than last year, and proves that for the farm population, at least, prosperity is not" on the way but is here. , Hay, corn, potatoes; tobacco ; and cranberries, the principal New Eng- land ,crops, have all turned out fair good. Eastern .and bentral states all send in good reports. Wheat crops are fair and the "corn crop a bumper one in most sections. Drought has' hurt some sections;- but not seriously; ex cept in a few places. Indiana has the biggest com crop in its history.. Dry weather has Injured crops In parts of Illinois and Wisconsin, but the. yield will not fall far below the average, the apple crop of the central west is poor. Iowa reports bumber oats and corn yields. North Dakota and parts of South Dakota have suffered great ly and the North Dakota yield will be only half of normal. Minnesota crops have been good, except hay. Nebraska has a big corn crop, but wheat is rath er light. Missouri and Kansas are both both prosperous. Oklahoma is short on corn, but long on wheat. Sugar beets and frujts have, made Colorado grow ers happy and contented. The Pacific northwest has a bumper apple yield, but the wheat crop is light in some states. California oranges and Bome other fruits show a considerable drop in yield, but high prices will make up for the shortage. Kentucky, Tennessee and other southern corn-growing states report unprecedented yields! Texas and Louisiana report excellent crops. Georgia crops are fair.

The fair drew less from the state than usual this year, but to offset this, the attendance was 2,000 more and incidental ex penses were less because the manage ment was centralized at one point So with the finances in good condi tion, the precedent firmly established, the public In full sympathy with the fair, things look extremely bright for another year. Not alone has the ten tative prices and the experimental location of the past two years been declared the keynote of the success of the Institution, but the county of Un-, ion owes a standing vote, of thanks to the nine men and Manager W. J. Church who have guided the destinies of the fair through its infancy, and this line of argument was firmly ex pressed by the stockholders who at tended the. meeting last evening aM IN K Kit HELL'S FRIENDS INDIGNANT Some Dunscr that His Slnjer Will oiue to Grief at Mob's Huuds.
