V GORN NEAR FAILURE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT SAYS WINTER WHEV MAY LIGHTEN LOSSE8. 300,000,000 BUSHEL DROP August iedeVBl Figures Show That Yield Will Be 2,672,000,000 Bush. els Kansas and Oklahoma Are Hit Hardest Washington', Aug. 11. A loss of 300, 000,000 bushels of corn, tho natlon'B greatest farm crop, has resulted Trom the great dam ago wrought by drought and other conditions since July 1, tho governmont'B agricultural exports es timated on Friday In their August crop report. A total production of 2,672, 000,000 bushels of corn was predicted. Tho government crop report given out ott Friday from Washington was ono of tho most sensational that the country has aeon. It reduced tho esti mated yield of corn 300,000,000 bushels from the July figures to 2,672,000,000 bushels, or 452.000,000 bushels less than last year's harvest, Kansas and Oklahoma have been hit harder than any other states, whllo their prospects earlier In the year were, regarded aa excellent, but they have suffered practically a crop fail ure except In a few spots in eastern Kansas and in northern Oklahoma. The official returns show a loss of 98, 000,000 bushels In Kansas and 62,000,- 000 bushels In Nebraska. There Is a reduction of i46,000,000 bushels on practically 50 per cent, of the e?rn acreage, of the country. Kan has, Oklahoma and Nebraska have 19 per cent, of the country's acre age, and their) combined losses are 218,000,000 bushels. The losses ore the worst since 1901, when Kansas raised only 61,000,000 bushels. In 1894 drought made a crop failure in the states west of tho Mississippi river, and the country had a crop of only 1,212,000,000 bushels. A record winter wheat crop will help to lighten tho losses made by corn, but as the country consumes nearly 3,000,000,000 bushele annually it can not completely make up for the defect In the greatest feeding crop, notwith standing the fact that corn Is selling higher than wheat In the market west of the Missouri river. The wlntnr what crop Is 61,1,000.000 bushels, against a previous record' of 493,000,000 bushels In 1906. The spring wheat crop Increased 15,000,000 1 bush els In July and the three northwestern statee have 174,000,000 bushels, which. Is almost an average. The total wheat crop of the country of 744,000,000 bush elB Is only 4,000,000 bushels below the record of 1901 and 14,000,000 bushpls more than last year's yield. Despite the immense lose sustained by the corn crop, the aggregate yield of the five principal grains Is the third largest on record, being 4,647,000,000 bushels. As compared with last year's bumper returns, there is a loss of 886, 000,000 bushels, or 16.1 per cent., but as compared with 1911 tho gain Is 180, 000,000 buehels, or 4.1 per cent. Owing to tho large reserves carried over from last year of corn, oats, hay and rough feeds, the losses in this year's crop may be partially offset. A drop of 40,000,000 bushels was sus tained by Illinois during July, while Iowa dropped 11,000,000 bushels.

A heavy loss was shown In the hay and white potato crops of the country, the condition of the former being low ered almost ten points last month, but the indicated crop of 64,000,000 tone la only 9,000,000 tons less than the bumper returns of last year, and 9,000, 000 more tons than the short crop of 1911.

GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL items of Interest Gathered from Rs liable Sources and Presented In Condensed Form to Our Readers. A total of $391,865 worth of property was imporlled by 11 ro during the month of July, according to a teporl by Flro Commissioner RIdgell. Of tho amount tho loss sustained on build ings reached ?112,64 of which $59,709 was on tho contents. Tho totals aro compllod from the en tire state excepting Douglas county. Aurora headed tho list of losses with ?65,000, Bertraud was next with f 19. 000, and Grand Island was third with ?7,000. Lincoln was fourth with ?3, 25G. Unknown causes are attributed to ulueleen fires, children with matches caused half a dozen and gasollso stovQS caused four conflagrations. Lo comotive sparks caused five tires. In his report Commissioner RIdgell adds tho following Interesting comment: "Wo believe that every city and town In the stato should pay more attention to flro prevention and I wish to suggest to the mayors and city councils throughout the stato that they omploy from ono to four men (depend ing upon the size of the city or town) at leutft twice a year to mako a thor ough Investigation of their cities and towns and where defects nro found and parties refuse to correct them Ihey report those who refune 1.0 do so to tho mayor of tholr respective towns and to the state fire commissioner's olllco at Lincoln and would, suggest to the flro commissioners of Omaha, South Omaha and Lincoln that they select one man from each tiro station or district whose duties shall consist of Inspecting and causing defects to be removed and roport to tho captains of said stations and to tho office of the state fire commissioner.

State Board Fixes Levy. Tho stato board of equalization for the first time since the preseut law was passed in 1904 accepted tho re turns of county assessors without at tempting to change them. Tho total levy for Btato taxes was Increased to 7.80 mills, which is 2.60 mills hlghor than tho levy of last year. Tho board raited tho general fund lovy to 5 mills, which Ih the limit permitted under the constitution, and then made other 'levies which are required to b made by laws passed by the legisla ture, including elghty-flvo hundredths of a mill for tho support of state nor mal schools, ono mill for tho support oi tho university and three quarters of a mill for a special building fund for the university and one-fifth of a mill for tho state aid bridge fund. The state levy in mills Ib as follows: General fund COO Normal school 85 State aid bridge 20 Stato university , 1.00 University building fund 75 Total 7.80 The last legislature did not appro priate funds out of the general fund for the four state normal schools, but Instead provided a levy. This makes that much to be collected by taxeB for the general fund, but with the normal schools provided for by special taxa tlon, tho appropriations mndo from the general fund by the last legislature far exceeds tho amount which will be dcrjved from a 5 mill levy for tho gen eral fund. Tho sUto board of equalization will begin at onco equalizing thq values of llvo stock as reported by county boards and assessors. It has divided the stato Into three districts and will try to oquallze us between counties In these districts. The eastern district is bounded on tho west by a lino run ning north from tho western bound ary of Nuckolls county, and tho cen tral district Is bounded on tho west by a line running north from the western border of Dundy county. Thero Is a great difference in the assessed valua tion of live stock In different coun ties. Tho board doslres to get the av erage valuation In each district and then bring all counties within tho dis trict near together as to value of the different kinds of live Btock.
