August Crop Report.
WHEAT—The damage by Hessian
fly in the southwestern part of the
state, extremely hot and dry weather
in the central and northern portion
causing wheat to shrink by ripening
too quickly and injury by smut in
some localities, has disappointed
many who were quite positive that the
State yield would be twenty bushels
per acre. The average estimated yield
per acre in the State and southern
counties is 18, in the central counties
19, in the northern counties 15 and in
the Upper Peninsula 20 bushels.
The per cent of plowing done for
wheat in the State is 12, in the southern and central counties 13, in the
northern counties 9 and ih the Upper
Peninsula 11. The total number of
bushels of wheat marketed by farmers
in July at 84 mills is 180,709 and at 96
elevators and to grain * dealers 351,262
or a total of 531,971 bushels, which indicates that the crop of 1910 has passed out of the possession of tlie producers. Fifty-two mills, elevators
and grain dealers report no wheat
marketed in July. .
RYE—The average estimated yield
per acre in the State, southern and
central counties is 14, in the northern
counties 13 and in the Upper Peninsula 22 bushels.
CORN—The condition of corn as

State is 82, in the southern. counties
85, in the central and northern counties 79 and in the Upper Peninsula 92.
The condition one year ago was 79 in
the State, 77 in the southern counties,
82 in the central counties, 84 in the
northern counties and 81 in the Upper
Peninsula.
OATS—The estimated average yield
in the State is 30, in the southern and
central counties 31, in the northern
counties 24 and in the Upper Peninsula 35.
POTATOES—The continued hot
and dry weather is having a very bad
effect on potatoes. The condition as
compared with an average in the State
is 63, in the southern counties 59, in
the central counties 62, in the northern counties 65 and in the Upper Peninsula 61. The condition one month
ago was 91 in the State, 92 in the
southern counties,,S8 in the central
and.northern counties and 96 in the
Upper Peninsula. The condition one

southern counties, 73 in the central
counties, 80 in the northern counties
and 75 in the Upper Peninsula.

compared with an average per cent in
the State and southern counties is 81,

order: Elberta, . Crawford, Hill's
Chili, New Prolific, Gold Drop, Kalamazoo, Barnard and Crosby.

Off For Put-In-Bay.
Fifteen miles of dancing one hundred and fifty times around the mammoth excursion steamer, "Put-In-
Bay." Passengers on the trip from
Detroit to Put-In-Bay this summer
will have the privilege of doing that
amount of dancing on each trip.
There are 8000 square feet of dancing
floor space—surely those who like
marathon dancing will enjoy these
excursions.
The music which will be continuous
will be furnished by a most excellent
orchestra under the management of
Mr. Finzel, who is well known among
the lovers of popular music in Detroit. The orchestra will play nearly
every minute of the trip and the passengers will be afforded the pleasure. of
listening to the very best music.
"The average dancer makes four
and one-half feet to every measure of
music and there are about three hundred measures to every dance," says
Mr. H. A. Sta-asburg, proprietor of
Detroit's most popular dancing academy. In continuous dancing allowing for encores there would be nine
dances to the hour making for the entire trip to Put-In-Bay fifteen miles of
dancing or one hundred and fifty
times around the deck. These estimates are mentioned to give an idea
of the tremendous size of the floor.
Authorities on dancing say that the
Steamer "Put-In-Bay" will have one
of the most up-to-date summer dancing floors in the country. Instead of
the usual hardwood flooring which is
very warm in summer, the floor is of
canvas especially prepared to make it
much .more smooth and far cooler
than the hardwood floor.
Another decided advantage" of the
"Put-In-Bay" dancing floor is the
absolute lack of obstructions, there
being nothing at all on the floor except the smoke stack and one stairway. The band stand is very close up
to the smoke stack and there are not
even any chairs for the regular wall
flowers—the dancers getting every advantage of the already largest dancing
floor on any steamer—and giving
them every reason to thoroughly enjoy themselves. This deck is fitted
out with large 'sliding doors which
give perfect protection in rain weather
and yet can be almost instantly opened back to let in the fresh air. Surely
this dancing floor is in perfect harmony with tlie other equipment of the
"Put-In-Bay" the largest and most
luxurious excursion steamer in the
world.
"We are not planning any marathon dances yet," say Mr. O. S.
Dustin, G. P. A. of the steamer line,
"but with six hours of continuous
dancing and with a floor that is larger
than the Detroit Masonic Temple floor
we surely have the proper facilities if
any societies should wish to arrange
for such a feature."

Attack Like Timers.
In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply so fast the fighters are overcome. Then'see pimples, boils, eczema, salt rheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters jto
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood.
"They are the best blood purifier,"
writes C. T. Budahn of Tracy, Calif.,
"I have ever found." They make
rich, red blood, strong nerves and
build up your health. Try them. 50c
