IS NOT SO SERIOUS
Secretary Wilson Savs Crop Dam-
age Has Been Greatly Exag-
gerated for a Purpose.
SPRING KEE0IN6 BACKWARD
Cold Unseasonable Weather Has
Caused Delay—Green Bugs Only
Local—Corn Will Suffer Most
From Delayed Planting.
Chicago, May 7 The reports of
damage to the crops which have (seen
so numerous of late, owing to the un
seasonable weather and the ravage*
ut bug* have been great Iy exaggerated
according to James Wilson, secretary
«f agriculture, who wa* In Chicago
Monday night.
"Spring seeding i» a Utile hack-
ward." said Mr. Wilsn. "on account
of the cold weether. but there Is plenty
of time between now and the last of
September to grow * crop of all hinds
of grain. In Minnesota and the Dako-
tas w here we get moat of our spring
wheat, seeding has been delayed about
two weeks, but with a few daya of
warm sunshine planting will be lu
lull progress While the weather has
|.»*eu unseasonably cold in some dis-
tricts, it has not been severe enough
to retard plowing and uiy advices are
that the ground In these states has
been nearly all made ready to riwlve
the seed. We will have warm weather
in a few days now and I don't see what
ts to prevent a normal crop of spring
wheat In these states'
As regards the Canadian northwest
the claims being made that this year's
harvest will be seriously diminixlnvl
may have some foundation. Accord
lug to what I consider authentic ad
vices from that section tin* weather
has been so cold that plowing has
btv»n almost Impossible. In past
yeais. the Canadian farmer has gen
erally left his plowing for the spring
and this year he finds himself In a
bad predicament. In a normal year
seeding would he about half finished
In Manitoba and adjoining provinces,
but 1 am told that the farmers there
haven't got the ground ready for re
(firing the seed even If the weather
was favorable for this work How-
ever, such a condition in the Canadian
northwest won't make a great deal
of difference w hen this year's crop
Is harvested The Canadian farmer
grows but a small proportion of the
total crop of wheat and 1 am of the
opinion that the deficiency there, if
tiicre be any, will hardly be noticed
when harvesting throughout the world
has been completed
-In the southwest there have been
numerous calls for the past three
weeks of damage being wrought by
green bugs. These reports of damage
to the wiuu*r w heat have been grossly
exaggerated. I am in a position where
I get as good Information as anylmdv
legardtng the growing crop. While
I have had many reports about the
gretvi hug. the damage wrought by
these Insects has been local In every
instance and there has not been any
gcniTal attack by this post as some
Iteople are endeavoring to make It
appear. From my kowledge of the
southwos;. wln-re so much of our win

New York, May 11.— An Important
step has been taken by manufacturers
of steel rails for an improvement In
thi’ quality thus giving better secur-
ity against accidents. This movement
results from recent criticisms by rail-
road experts concerning the general
durability of steel rails. It has beeu
maintained that breakage has been
frequent of recent months and that
there is a deterioration in the product.
Whether this is due to the intrinsic
quality of the ores, to the processes
of manufacture, or the immense strain
of growing tonnage, is on open ques-
tion.
With a view to reconciling the diver-
gent views a committee of experts
has been appointed by the American
Railway association, the railways and
manufacturers being represented.
Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of
the Unlttvl States steel corporation
said Friday concerning this commit-
tee:
"The manufacturers of steel rails
and railroad companies both realize
that conditions relating to railroad
operation have materially changed
and It Is desirable to use every prac-
tical precaution against accident. Ev-
ery suggestion for Improvement will
be considiTed and It la believed that
standard of excellence that should
not be questioned will be evolved.”
Judge Gary added that Inquiries for
steel rails for delivery In 1908 are com-
ing In gradually. tw.» western railways
Friday taking 150.000 tons. The annual
demand for steel rails is generally ac-
cepted In the busiuess world as a bar-
ometer of the Industrial situation and
railroad development. However, Judge
Gary does not consider the figures suf-
ficiently complete to permit an accur-
ate gauge for 1908.
A HOLDUP THAT FAILED.
STOMACH OR STRIKE
SUCCESS.
FUL TONIC TREATMENT
R INDIGESTION.
Or. Williams’ Pink Pill; Curad This
Woman and Hays Cured Many >
Hundreds of Other Case* of
Common Aliments
Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and a dull, sluggish feeling -these are
the symptoms of stomach tronblc. They
indicate tliat the atomach is on a stnke,
tliat it is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quotaof nourishment tliat
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There are two methods of treat meat.,
the old one by which the stomach ts
humored by the use of predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned np to db
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure bv the tonic treatment its ’
that of Mrs. Mary Starkpole, of 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says -
“I suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backache*
and was confined to my bed the greater
part of three years. I was under the
care of our family physician most of the
time, but did not seem to get better.
‘‘I was completely run-down and was
not able to do my work about the house.
My blood was impure and my complex-
ion pale. I suffered from flashes of
heat, followed suddenly by chills. I
had awful lteadachee, which lasted from .
tlireo to four daya. I could get but little
rest at night, as my sleep was broken
and fitful. As a result I lost several
pounds in weight and became very ner-
vous.
•I was In a wretched oondition whers
I heard about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
I started to take the pills at once and
began to gain in weight and health. I
was encouraged by this to keep on until
I was cured. My friends and neighbors
often remark wllat a changed woman I
am and I owe it *11 to Dr. Williams',
Pink Pills.”
These wonderful pills are useful in a
wide range of diseases Bncb as anaemia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, aud even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood aud this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned np. the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, 50 cents per box. six boxes for /
$2.50, by the Dr. William.- Medicine .
