on which tho llrtt fruits of tho harvest wore
blessed In tho churches, which was cele
brated throughout Russia this week, must
bavo been a day of mourning In many of
tho provinces. Tho outlook has grown
worse almost everywhere during the last
four weeks. Even vegetables, Including
potntoos, have been largely burned by tho
scorching heat In some districts.
Tho approach of winter will be one of tho
gloomiest Russia has over seen. Tho gov

tho feeding of tho people In some provinces

In tho matter, tho famine relief funds being
now turned over to the central government.
Agents of tho ministry of tho Interior are
engaged In buying up grain, though tho
Russian pross Is forbidden to mention uio
matter. Tho precise objret of this prohibi
tion Is difficult to divine. It cannot be pos
nlblo the government thinks the grain spec
ulators can be taken unawares and tho
secrecy with which tho purchnses and the
localities In which purchases aro mado can
hardly bo conducive to economy:
Excosslvo heat ami nrldlty prevailed dur
ing tho preceding six weeks. This cut off
tho development of tho grain and unduly
hastened maturity. 'Sumdont rainfall was
observed only lu the wt stern and Doltlo
provinces. Tho winter grains naturally
suffered comparatively llttlo from tho
weather nnd tho harvest of winter grain
will bo good In the provinces of Klcff, Po

portions of tbo black earth district, par
ticularly tho provinces of Chcrnlgoff,
Toltva, Volhynla, lu the provinces of Minsk,
Vntebsk and Smolensk, In portions of tho
Baltic territory In Finland and In a portion
of tho central region.
In tho remnlnlng portions of tho empire
tho winter grains will shade off from below
to very bad. and tho oillclal report adds,
laconically, that "tho condition of spring

Th harvest of spring "grains will bo "un

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 29. Thc weather bu
reau olllclals of tho United States were ban
queted nt tho Hotel Pflster by the citizens
of Milwaukee tonight, The chief speaker
of tho evening was Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, who responded to the toast "What
Science Is Doing for tho American Fanner."
Secretary Wilson said In part: "Tho
United States weather bureau Is an tinlquo
development, peculiarly American, designed
for tho benefit of agriculture and commerce,
thnt ho who plants nnd harvests may work
more intelligently and ho who carries on
tho water may havo more knowledge of
atmospheric conditions. Tho Deportment of
Agriculture throughout Its bureaus, divi
sions nnd offices not only supplies science
ns to practice, but It Inquires, experiments,
discovers and Invents as well In helping the
producers nnd carriers."
Tho speaker said It was tho work of the
grlcultural department to make this coun
try Independent of nil others. A weather
bureau ot tho United States would soon be
put nround tho world, nnd the time was
rnpldly ncnrlng when the, United Slntes
would supply nil of Its wnnts Independently
In the lino of growing teas, tobacco, sugar
iitM everything else, which wo now havo to
Import partially.
Prof. Willis L. Mooro responded to tho
toast, "The United States Wcnlher lluretu."
Ho said the United States government
spends mora for scientific tesenrch than any
other country In tho world, nnd that 110
people get such return from the service
as this government gets.

tho mills of tho United States Steel corpo
ration that wore closed by tho strlko of tho
Amalgamated association stated today that
they aro receiving many applications from
former employes for work. Tho announce
ment that tho company would start tho
mills nonunion has, tho oftlclals believe,
caused 11 weakness In the rnpUs of tho
strikers. Tho strikers claim that their
ranks nro unbroken nnd strong ns ovcr.
Oao of tho steel olllclnls said today that
there was 11 general mistake being mado
regarding tho time It would take to train
Inexperienced men and making them capa
ble of operating mill machines. This has
been believed to be the enso, so long that
few havo titken the troublo to prove It
otherwise. It Is now determined, ho said,
to have new men placed In positions that
will give them a chance to learn tho
skilled work and many of tho men who hold
men la I positions in tho Union mills nro to
be taught skilled work with which they nro
in n measure familiar through long asso
ciation with the workings of tho mills, it
Is confidently asserted that before muny
months pass it will bo possible to produce
many new men and plenty to man all tho
plants that are Idle and which union men
hnve refused to take hold of, Tho strikers
say It will tako years to accomplish this.
