THURSDAY, JULY 28 1904.
The incident over the at imre of
the British vessel Malacca, by the
Ruffian, has doeed by an agree
ment between those countries to
the ffct that the vei-gel be in
p-cted by the Con-tita of the two
countries and released unless
paliiahle contraband of war in
tendrd for the Japanese shall be
found, in which cae the contraband
only will be held
It is now believed that Russia
is end' avoring to fiod a way by
which 8hecan retire gracefully from
a disastrous war. The acts of the
volunteer fleet in the Red Sea and
the ladivostock squadron in
seizing n utral veer-els and det-try
ing some of them without trial, is
recogniz d an excuse of Russia
tosoaffci Am rica, E-gland and'
Germany that she can end ihe
war without dishonor to herself.

few weeks ago. The department
of agriculture says that the wheat
crop in ncent years has ranged
tr..m tiOO.OttO.i CK) to 750,000,01)0
buhels. In 1893 the total yeiUl
was only 3iH,131,T25, and for three
following years it fell b-low 500,-
000.000 bu-hi Is. With 1S9S came
n fxo itionally heavy crop f
675,149,000 ushels; '.hen it fell
lo 547,149,000 l.Ur-hels in 1899. and
to 522,230,000 bushels in .1900.
rhen came heavy crops of 748,
460,000 bushels in 19U1. 670,063.-
000 bushels in 1902, and 637,000,
000 huhels in 1903. Should the
crop this year not go above 600,
000,000 bushels, as has been pre
dieted by J. J. Hill and others, il
will be a marked falling off from
the yields of the last tnree years,
but still considerably above several
of the lean years in the last decade.

Since harvest comm' need word
comes from all parts of th- county
to the effect hat the whtat crop is
better than has been exptried.
Il is generally c incedcd t at th re
has Lever been a larger if as large
a yield per acre, and with the large
increase in acreage over that of
any .previous year the crop will be
the largest by seve.al Hundred
thousand bushels than was ever
before harvested in the county.
It is now be.i vtd that t hi ei-titintte
made by ihe Times a month ayo,
at a million and a half lnhel
was not an exageratinn.
While a number of fine -ample
of grain have been brought in i
the Morrow county xh i t it at th
Lewis and Claik fair, there is not
one-tenth part of what is wanted.
If our grain is worth exhibiting at
all it is worth making g od, large
display, one that will attract the
attention of visitors to the fair
Nw is the proper lime to gather
the wheat exhi -it as it can not be
had from the fall etuHble or a
winter striwstick, Ihe time to
ga her it is during harvest. So
farmers don't delay the ma ter of
getting a few bun- hes of your b st
wheat and I y it away for the fai'.
Lets mane Morrow's xhibit equal
to that of any county in the state.
