Newsy Notes and Occasional Occurrences
From our Near Neighbors.
A. ALBER'S
A horse was struck by lightning- and
killed on the streets of Ypsilanti .last
week.
The states of our Union now -number
44, Wyoming having been recently
added. *
The late residence of Prof. 01ney,de-
ceased,of Ann Arbor, has been sold
for§4,fofJ.
The $100 banner has been awarded to
Ann Arbor tent No. 296, K, O. T.. M.,
of Ann Arbor.
York township seems to predominate
in horse-flesh. One year ago it had 819
horses.   Salem had 799.
It is estimated by good judges that
Dr. "W> W. Nichols' -peach orchard,
near Ann Arbor, Will yield 3,000 bushels this fall.
The Register tells us that during
Monday's storm, in Northfield township, hail stones fell that were as large
as hen's eggs. Next. Let's here from
some adjoining town.
Lightning seems to be a little partial,
in its manner of handling people this
summer. A man at Morenci was struck
and knocked down last week, and soon,
after arose unhurt.
Hiscock & "Wood, of Ann Arbor, are
receiving daily shipments of coal.
They have already twelve hundred tons
ready for delivery. Half that amount
would keex) Saline comfortable.
The annual band tournament of Monroe, Lenawee and Washtenaw counties
Will be held at Adrian, August 21st.
About forty bands are expected to be
present.   Will our boys be represented?
A silver dollar in the pocket of a St.
Louis woman, last week, saved her life
when her affectionate lover tried to
kill her with a revolver. No person
may be considered in exactly safe circumstances, who hasn't *a dollar.
Here's another argument for free coinage.—Dundee Reporter.
A carpet bug is working great havoc
in many Hudson homes. It begins
operations upstairs, and can chew more
floor covering in three days than a
moth could iu three years.—Hudson
Gazette.
We have seen the work of the "animal" and can vouch for the truth of
the above statement.
It will be a good idea to look well to
the clearing away of rubbish by the
wayside. A lady,of Jackson county,has
just recovered damages to the amount
of $1,750 for an accident caused from
her horse being frightened at a pile of
old logs that were piled by the side of
the road.
The T. & A. A. Ry. has again been
trying to fill up the bottomless pit
which appears to exist under their
track hear Howell. Recently the
bottom seemingly again dropped out
and it swallowed oOO carloads of gravel

The gas well hys been sold,at a greatly reduced figure from the first cost.
At one time the face value of the property was $5,000; now the old pipe has
been sold for S7, and the derrick for $25.
The well," of course, remaius in the
ground, and is the property of the owner of the land—Hudson Post.
Better sell the well too, possibly it
could be converted into post holes.

Look out for the clothes you buy for

of railroad excursion tickets, etc., are
thrown in. Such §10 bargains are,
usually snide fakes, aud the purchaser
gets beautifully left. You can't.buy
something for nothing, either in Detroit or out of it, -There isn't a clothing store in Michigan, which does not
give better bargains than the oues
offered in Detroit. Don't forget that.

That!s right brother, railroad excursion and fancy decorated windows cost
money.   Better bargains can be had at
home.

July Crop Report.
For this report returns have been received from 820 correspondents, representing 632 townships. Five hundred
and forty-seven of these reports are
from 390 townships in the southern four
tiers of counties, and 150 reports are
from 131 townships in the central counties.
. In addition to the inforlnation furnished by correspondents we- print, as
is the custom in July;, the statistics of
the wheat crop of 1889 and acres of
wheat in May, 1890, as shown by the
farm statistics of the state; also au estimate of the crop of this year based on
the acres in May and the estimated
yield per acre furnished by crop correspondents. The farm statistics of
a number of townships have not yet
been received. For these the wheat
crops both of 1889 and 1890 are estimated, the crops of previous years being
used as a basis.
The number of acres of wheat in the
state in May of this year, as shown by
returns compiled, was 1,436,261. Multiplying the acres in each county by
the estimated yield per acre, land foot-,
ing the products, gives 18,851,540 bushels as the probable total yield in the
state. This is an average per acre of
13.16 bushels in the southern counties,
12.66 in the central counties, and 14.58
in the northern counties.
The number of acres of wheat harvested in 1889 was approximately 1,424,-
253; yield, 22,945,198 bushels, an average of 16.11 bushels per acre. The area
harvested in the southern counties, as
tabulated for this report, was 36,205
acres less than reported ou the ground
in May 1889. In the central counties
the area harvested was 3,886 acres
greater, and in the northern counties
4,801 acres greater than reported iu
wheat one year ago. The decrease in
the southern counties is doubtless due
to the area "winter-killed, ruined by
insects, or otherwise destroyed," and
not harvested and hence not reported,
while in the central and northern counties the increase is spring wheat sowed
after the assessment was taken.
The grain aphis is present in most
parts of the state, and the midge is reported from a number of localities, but
it is not probable that they will very
greatly damage the. wheat crop. More
iujury is ljkely to result from ,rust and
smut, 'A large percentage of the fields
are reported rusted, and the number of
correspondents reporting smut in wheat
is very much greater than in any previous year.
Harvest is now in progress in the
southern counties.
Since the hist report was issued reports have been, received of the quantity of wheat marketed by farmers at
316 elevators and mills. Of these 264
are in the southern four tiers of counties, which is 46 per cent, and 42 are in
the fifth and sixth tiers of counties,
which is 31 per cent of the whole number in these sections respectively. The
number of bushels reported marketed
is 926,539, of which 232,197 bushels
were marketed in the first or southern
tier of counties; 252,502 bushels in the
second tier; 172,536 bushels in the
third tier, 202.284 bushels in the fourth
tier; 65,230 bushels in the fifth and
sixth-tiers; and 1,790 bushels in the
northern counties.
At 57 elevators and mills, or 18 per
eent of the whole number from which
reports have been received, there was
no wheat marketed during the month.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in the eleven
months, August-June, is 14,012,430, or
about 61 per cent of the crop of 1889.
The number of bushels reported marketed in the same months of 1SSS-9, was
14,897,526, or 63 per cent of the crop of
18S8. In 188S-9 reports were received
from about 66 per cent, aud in 1889-90
from about 78 per cent of the elevators
and mills in the southern four tiers of
counties.
The area planted to corn, in the
southern counties, and also in the state,
is six per cent less than in average,
years. The average condition of corn
is 91 in the southern, 92 in the central,
aud 103 in the northern counties, comparison being with vitality and growth
of average years. , The cut worm has
damaged the crop this year more than
usual. The crop was planted very late,
but it has come forward rapidly and is
iu far better condition nowthan on July
1,1889.
In condition oats are 96 in the southern, and 97 in the central and northern
; counties.
The area phiHted to potatoes is three
j per cent less than in average years, and.
tho condition of the crop is !)0 per cent
of an average.   In the state. 2!)]  eor-
jr respondents report more, and 245 less,
j potato bugs than usual, while 2(".'{ correspondents report the number about
J the same sts in previous years.
1   .Meadows and pastures are but slight-
] ly below, and clover sowed this j'ear is
three.per cent above the condition in
average years.
The present indications are that the
apple crop this year will not exceed
one-half of an average crop. The exact
figures are 48 in the southern counties,
64 in the central, and 58 in the northern counties. Compared with one
month ago there is a loss of 44 per cent
in the southern, 38 in the central, and
24 in th e- northern counties. Many correspondents report that the apples have
nearly all fallen from the trees, and
that the crop will be a total failure.
The outlook for peaches is hardly
more promising than for .apples. The
figures are 59 in the southern, 62 in the
central, and 56 in the northern counties. The corresponding figures One
month ago were 81. 87. and 88.
Teachers' Institute.
■ Teachers' Institute at Ann Arbor
will be held in the high school building, commencing August 11, 1890, and
continuing for five days. B. A. Hinsdale, Professor of Theory and Art of
Teaching in the University of Michigan, conductor, assisted by Prof. Good-
ison, of the State Normal, and the
County Board of School Examiners.
The Institute this year will be unusually interesting to the teacher and no
one should fail to attend. The County
Board of Examiners will endeavor to
make the Institute of practial importance to teachers and one pet* cent for
each day's attendance will be allowed
to applicants for certificates.      Sec.
