November Crop Report.
The average condition of wheat on
November I was in the southern counties, 75; central, 88; northern, 103, and
State, 82, comparison being with vitality and growth of average years; The
condition in the southern counties,
where eighty-five per cent of the crop
is grown, is thirteen per cent lower
than one year ago. The average Condi lion in the state in "previous ypars
has been: 1896,90; 1895, 78; 1894, 94:
1893, 89; 1892, 87, and 1891, 91.
The severe drouth prevailing at the
date of the October report wag not
broken in the southern and central sections of the State until October 11.
Light rains occurred on the 5th-8te,
but not in sufficient amount to be of
benefit, On the 11th and 12th storms
occurred generally throughoutthe state
the rainfall being sufficient to afford
relief. Since this storm "wheat has
made fairly good progress. On fields
favorably situated it is looking well,
but a large proportion of the fields are
more than ordinarily spotted. This is
particularly true of rolling fields where
the tops and sidesof hills are practically
bare. There was a second general rain
the 19-22, and a lighter one on the 31st.
These rains have been of great immediate advantage, but heavy soaking
rains are yet needed to" place the
groud in usually wet condition al the
opening of winter. The rains in August, September and -October were
more abundant in the northern counties
and wheat there is iu fine condition.
The estimates indicate that the area
seeded to whaet this fall is six per cent
greater than sowed in the fall of 189G.
The estimated excess in the southern
counties is four per cent, in the central
six per cent, and in the northern fifteen per cent.
The total numbdr of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers since
the October report was published is 1,
962,963, andin the three months August
September and October, 5,597,985. This
is 2,198,821 bushels more than reported
marketed in the same months last year
The average yield of corn per acre
in the State is estimated at 61 bushels
of ears equal to about 30 bushels of
shelled corn. The estimate for the
southern counties is 60, central, 63 and
and northern 61 bushels of ears. The
average for the state is three bushels
lower than made October I.
The area of clover seed harvested is
large, at least much larger than in auy
late year, and the estimated average
yield higher than ever yet reported in
the farm statistics. The yield in v.he
State is estimated al 1-92 bushels,in the
southern counties at 1.87. central 2.16
and northern, 2 bushels per acre.
Potatoes are estimated to yield in
the State 64 per cent of an average
crop. Tbe estimate for the southern
counties is 60, wntral,68, northern, So,
and upper peninsula 96 per cen».
Live stock is in good .condition. The
percentages are 96 for horses and cattle, 97 for sheep, and 98 for swine, comparison being with stock in good
healthy and thrifty condition.

Professors and Post al Banks.
Simple as au expression from men
who are trained to deal with problems-
and to form their opinions from conviction, the opinions of the fourteen professors of Northwestern university to
whom a postal savings bank petition
was presented are of ioteres t. Each
of them gave his indorsement to the
project and apparently topk pleasure
in doing so. Just as the laboring men
approved the plan from a keen personal sense of its need; just as business
men huve andorsed it as the best available means of promoting contentment
forfending agitations unfavorable to
steady growth in trade, the college
men approve it as a theory sound in
the abstract and practicable in its ap;
plications to the conditions of tha time
The North western university faculty
is representative, in its personal, of
many educational institutions of high
Class throughout the country. It is not
unreasonable to suppose that an actual
test would disclose that the greater
part of the educators in the country
would take the same view.
In the light of this general conviction among all classes as to the merits
of postal banks, how long will it be before the system is regarded by the
people not as merely an advantage, but
as a ncccessity of modern social and
economic conditions'?—Chicago Record.
IiOndon Underground   Service.
The chief objection to the underground service is tbe foul air of the
tunnels. Thus far no serious attempt
to introduce electric traction has been
made on the "circle." Within a few
years, however, the City & South London railway, better known as the
Greater Underground line, starting in
the city near the monument and diving beneath the Thames, has been constructed in the neighborhood of Ken-
nington Park, and it is being extended.
This is a double tunnel—two great iron
tubes, in fact, one directly beneath the
other, and the trains are operated and
lighted hy electricity. I can testify
from personal experience that the air
is pure .and the motion of the'ljfains:
easy. Passengers are lowered i;o "*th<?
platforms and raised therefrom by hjlig^
lifts. This system was the in.Yentiipnl
and the pet sclieme of the e,miia?nt ejfti
