The ravine Is between the farms of
Howard Bell and William Tiudderow on
the banks of the Big- Timber creek and

Daniel Yarrow, in company with two
young women, found the trunk. The
curiosity of the women as to the con

held together the badly rotted sides of
the trunk. With the ropes off the
trunk collapsed, exposing the body.
Constable William Kauffman was no

the result of having been in the trunk

she will be able to explain how the

Eva, who witnessed the death of her

The opinion of the foVemost private
authorities Is that the government's in
dicated yiei.i is ut least to, 000,000 bush
els too high for spring wheat and about
40.0O00.o0o too high for winter wheat.
Since August 1 tho spring wheat crop

In the trade Is that the bureau ignore
loss by floods In Indiana. Texas, Kan-
san, .Missouri and Oklahoma. It Is as
serted b.v traveling observers that thou
sands of acres In those regions were not
cut at all ami that large areas will pro
duce from 3 to 10 bushels per acre at
the thresher. The belief of sn accepted
crop niilhority is that the winter wheat
crop will run 4i),n00,ii00 under the gov
ernment's Indicated crop because of the
bureau's failure to eliminate 2.000.000

the belt nre exceedingly uneven, but
when tabulated without weighting,
show a total crop of 27.u0O,0OO bushels
tinder the August Indication of the gov
ernment. Summing up, we fel Justi
fied in concluding that the 1908 cron
of merchantable wheat, will scarcely
equal that erathered last y-ir. Consid
ering the low world's stocks and the
depleted reserves in retail hands every
where, with an Inevitably strong export
demand, It seems reasonable to expect
a high level of prices for breadstur'fs
throughout the crop year.
"T.lttl9 Increase In Corn.
On the basis of the crop reporting bu
reau's August 1 estimate the yield of
maize Indicated Is 2,tj'16,2?4,00O bushels
against 2,592.320,000 In the final esti
mate lor 1907. Our own correspondents
in the belt, basing their estimates on
extensive inquiries indicate a yield
smaller than 1907 hv 1.7 per cent. This
suggests a crop of 2.(123. 000,000 bushels.
The Important matter to consider in
estimating the eorp crop Is that there
was far more than the usual amount of
replanting this spring, and that large
areas were drowned out and put Into
other crops. These losses cannot have
been deducted from the 101,000,000 acre
age used as the basis of government
estimates. The measured crop of 1907
was of very Inferior quality. It has
been estimated by careful handlers that
the crop reduced to marketable grain
of standard weight amounted to Z50,
000,000 bushels less than the final yield
estimate of the government. The seed
corn from that crop was low In vitality,
unless specially selected and fire dried
at harvest.
Reports from Important areas show
much conflict of opinion, hut the best
Informed men In the merchant grain
trade are coming to believe that
the 1908 total will be little if any larger
than the crop of 1907 under the best
possible maturing conditions. Fortu
nately the danger Incident to pollination
has been avoided. The danger now
feared Is that premature low tempera
tures may prevent normal maturing o'f
the crop In the north-central part of
the belt. At tills time the plant is mak
ing fine progress. Visible stocks of
corn are extremely low and the amount
of old grain In farmer's hands at the
end of the crop year cannot but be
much lower than usual. The price has
ruled high in spite or great business de
pression ami leduced consumption dur
ing the first half of 190R; and It seems
Inevitable that prices will be fully sus
tained, if not advanced, with gradual re
vival of business activity.
Oats.
The government's June Indication was
for an oats crop of 1, 065,000. 000 bush
els. Tho July percentage figures re
duced this estimate to 970.000.ooo. The
August report showed further sensa
tional Impairment, Indicating 873,400,
