June Crop Report.
The weather for the first half of May
was exceedingly warm, the temperature for several days averaging ten degrees ahove the normal, and the latter
half it is unusually cool, the average
temperature ranging irom five to ten
degrees helow the normal. General
and heavy rains occurred at the very
beginning of the month and continued
until after the 20th, keeping the
ground well soaked for more than three
weeks. Such weather was favorable to
the growth of wheat,cand the average
condition in the southern counties.
June 1, where 8a per cent of the crop is
grown, is reported at 92 per cent as
compared with 77 in 1893, 91 in 1292,
and 96 in 1891.
The average conditions in the central counties is 90, and in the northern
95. The figures for the central counties are the highest for this section
June 1, since 1889.
The total number of bushels ol wheat
marketed by farmers in May is 818,747.
The total number bushels of wheat
reported marketed in the ten months,
August—May, is 13,431,945, which is
422,456 bushels more than reported
marketed in the same month last  year
The heavy and contiuued rains seriously interfered with the planting of
corn, and a much larger area than usual remained to be planted June 1, and
of that planted early, more than an
average amount had |to be t-eplanted.
The reports indicate, however, that
the acreage of this crop will not be
less in average years.
The area seeded to oats is fully equal
to the area in average years, and the
crop is in fine condition.
Barley is not extensively grown in
this State. The figures indicate a decline in area. The average condition
being about 93 per cent, comparison
being average years.
The average condition of meadows
and pastures in the four southern tiers
of counties is 89 por cent, an average
much below what would ordinarily be
expected in a season when weather
conditions were as favorable as prevailed in May. The low condition may
almost wholly be charged to damage
by the clover root borer. The condition in the central counties is 95, and
in the northern 101.
Clover sown this year has made good
growth. The average condition in
the State is little less than 100.
The outlook for apples is promising.
The figures indicate nine-tenths of a
full average crop. One year ago the
crop in the southern counties ,vas estimated at 55, and in the central at 65
pei' cent of an average. Peaches are
estimated at two-thirds of an average
crop.
In the southern counties the wages
per month of farm hands average §15.
89 with board, and $22.16 without
board; in the central counties §15.20
with board, and §22.99 without board;
and in the northern counties S17.09
with board, and §27.14  without board.
The average wages this year are
lower than ever before reported to this
office. Compared with one year ago,
wages with board haye declined §2.12
in the southern counties, §2.25 in the
central counties, and §2.19 in the
northern counties.
The farm statistics of 872 townships,
collected by supervisors have been received at this Office. The footings of
the sheep and wool columns indicate
that the number of sheep now on hand
in the southern counties is more than
five per cent less than sheared in 1893.
There has been some increase in the
central aud northern counties, but not
enough to offset the loss in the southern counties. The aggregate loss in
the State exceeds three per cent of the
number sheared last year.

Icebergs and Temperature.
From mariners' reports, Mr. H. C
Russell, Director of the Sydney Observatory, has obtained 84 positions iu
which icebergs have been seen during
a period of about two years. Marking
these on a map, he finds that 61 of the
84 positions, or 43 per cent, were under
the lee of Patagonia, where the ice
had evidently been carried by strong
winds and the Cape Horn current, and
13 others were aear the Cape of Good
Hope. From only two of the eighty-
four vessels reporting, was ice seen
near Australia. He concludes that
icebergs cannot have any appreciable
effect upon the climate, of Australia as
has been supposed, for even in the lee
of Patagonia, where the ocean is filled
with floating ice for an area- measured
by hundreds of miles each way, there
appears to have been no remarkable*
lowering of tha temperature.
DETROIT'S    STEW   TRACK    IS   COMPLETED   AND  VERY FAST.
Trainers are Jfoir Working There
And Soon the Great Army of Cam-
paiKnern "Will lie on tlie Scene.
Another month and the hoof-beats of fie
sleek-limbed trotters as they fly down the
stretch of the Detroit Driving Club's new
track will mingle with the hurrahs of the
thousands assembled to do homage to the
Brent American horse and -participate in
the dedicatory ceremonies incidental to
the opening of the finest racecourse ia the
country. Those will be halcyon days for
the owners of the money-winners, the inducements being unusually large, and
from present indications this will be taken
advantage of by more trainers than in any
of the meetings or. the famed Hamtramcl*
course. Kverythihg is practically ready
and the procession of horses is the sole
requisite to start what promises to be a
most brilliant meeting.
Sow that the track is completed, it is*
daily the scene of fast brushes between
well-bred roadsters, and drivers and trainers are arriving continually with the-
strings they wish to prepare for an activ*.
season's campaign. The liberal offering
of the club in allowing the free use of
the track and stables to all who care to
come before the annual Blue Hibbor.
meeting is attracting men from all parts
of the state, but there is abundant room

still put ln three or four weeks' work here
before starting out.
Aside from the magnificence of the
equipments which commend the track to
the most scrupulous, the racing will be the
great feature of this year. Inquiries are
flooding the secretary from all parts of
the country and the indications are that
the mail ln the four days following July
2, the date of the closing of the entries,
will keep several clerks busy arranging
the - horses and classes. The special
purses which filled so nicely are holding
their own, and the declarations are very
small in number compared to those in
similar races in other cities. So, from the
present outlook, there will be fully 300
horses at the track to battle for tbe
'70.000 in premiums during the week of
"••ly 1G-21.
