The crop year of 1913-14 has brought an entire destruction of our 1913 wheat. corn and oats yields. There is a d cided more in current corn literature to declare in fa. or of 75 cent corn. In the past six years July corn his twice expired in the seventies at 72 and 77 rents. After June 15. the corn movement will presumably become dribble. The country will sell spas modically. A situation of this class creates an uneasy situation for bears and a fine crop start can not cure the absence of old supplies. Purchases of the old crop months are Indicated Ribs at 11 cents and lard at 10 cents are not high. Aa the provision season unfolds the prospect of a continued narrow range for ribs at poaalbly 11 to 12 cents unfolds. Until some re duction of the large world lard stocks Is forced a change to higher levels for lard is unlikely. Ribs on the other hand will decrease quickly during the late summer and have a triple chance to resist unnecessary liquidation, September oats started the crop around 33 cents and sold off to 35V4 on May 9.

With proper rains the crop can rally, but the chance of rais ing another 1.400.000,000 yield appears to have disappeared.

If Argentina Is lucky she may land 12,000,000 corn In Morning Grain Letter. Chicago, June 4. Large purchases of cash wheat by domestic millers Is the feature of the week. - This gives locals a chance to extend the July wheat premium to possibly 2 1-2 over the September temporarily. Liberal weekly decreases in the wheat visible are pending. European wheat news continues to suggest a decrease of 100,000,000 la their 1914 yields. Black rust reports from southwest receive little attention. Newspapers expect firmness In wheat which would evidently advance corn more than this lively cash busi ness could be guaranteed. The Phillips corn review report in dicates great coming 6caroity. The Pat Cudahy bullish talk on pro visions illustrates the small supplies at all western points outside of Chica go. Bulls predict twelve cents for ribs ultimately. The Phillips report states that the central west and northwest has 40 per cent less old corn than one year ago. Winnipeg Mires this morning that showers have fallen as far west as Moose Jaw, but they are not enough. Canada wants good rains all over soon. Cash demand for wheat and oats in Canada is good and stocks are getting light. We have received about 75 crop reports in first mall. Kansas reports on oats and wheat are excellent. Ne braska reports on wheat are high, but some of the oats reports are not over 85. Missouri reports are mixed, some what; some reports low as 25 ana otn- ers run from 50 to 100. Our Illinois reports average about 76 to 77 for the state. There are a lot of very poor reports this morning. Springfield, 111., reports that white corn in central and southern Illinois looks 90. Oats look 50 per cent and wheat not above 85. Rain is required badly all over central and southern Illinois. Areola, 111., says drouth con tinues over central Illinois and wheat and oats going back every day and at best oata look 60 per cent. Iowa reports on wheat, corn and oats are mainly good. Liverpool wheat and corn cables fall to regard our firmness. There is some talk of reaction in corn, but ir respective of influence, believe corn and oata should be, bought.

His place will be taken by Edmund Breese. There will be several com panies touring the country in this suc cessful shocker, and Arthur Byron win be at the head of the one that appears in Chicago. The London Stage society recently produced the "Uncle Vanya" of Tchek hov. Mr. Walker says of the perfor mance: 'A very strange play it is, utterly opposed to all our English no tions of playmaklng, a play with unity of mood, but without unity of action, a play of will-less people, futile peop'.e, drifts, just pottering on with their dis appointed, frustrated lives. At the same time, a play not without beauty, rich in subtle suggestion, and sure mark of true art tending to shakt your too complacent be.iefs and to re arrange the color-scheme In your men tal picture of life. You may not bs per. suaded to become a Tchekhovian (It there is such a thing), but you have to recognize that there is something and that something nothing less im portant than a distinct artistic individ uality in Tchekhov. There is, in fact, a real humanity about all these jeople; they are the genuine b.end of good and bad, weakness and strength, that we all know, and all are; and, if they are failures, it is less from any fault of their own than from bad luck and the general 'cussedness of things.' The general cussedness of thing Tchekhov's mood seems to be co:ored through and through by that, and it Is not a fashionable color on the Tnglish stage. But Just there lies the value of the stage society; to give us a change from our local fashions, and to open our eyes to new dramatic colors," The Irish Players from the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, begin their annual season at the London Court Theatre tomorrow evening. Miss Sarah All good rejoins the company, In which all the old favorite, again appear. In addition to their regular repertoire, two new plays, a one-act comedy by Lady "w. uwiueu ine wrens, and a three-act piece, "The Supplanter." by an untried dramatist, J. Bernard Mc Carthy, will be presented. J. M. SIIERJER, Local Forecaster. Miss Marie Tempest will make a farewell American tour next season, appearing in several plays. Of more moment is the statement that Mrs. Patrick Campbell is to come to us In George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion." A Paris correspondent writes that the movies are killing business, not only at the theatres but at the music halls on the continent. The distin guished Alfred Capus, to weather the storm that has burst upon the stage, is taking the editorial chair filled by the late M. Calmette at the Fiearo. Lavendar, a brilliant dramatic author and members of the Academy. Is to look after the theatrical and literary columns of the same paper. He bears up cheerfully under the kinemato graphlc revolution. So, too, does Cap us. Both agree that dramatic authors mut change completely their methods and their subject. They will have to follow life more closely, to distill .00: what it gives them, think more deeply. .00 1 bring more actioi. into their plays, and .08 have high literary aims. This does not .00 mean that they are to talk over the .00 heads of simple folks. It means quite .18 the contrary. 1 the verdict of the cor respondent quoted. The coffee raised In our island pos Porto Rico, is in great de mand abroad and the foreign market places it at the top of the price list of coffees from all over the world, according to experts at the United States department of agriculture's Por to Rican experiment station. How ever, the people of the United States have developed a taste for a different kind of coffee, and the preference of a great many people will have to be changed in order to obtain a larger market for Porto Rican coffee in this country. The cost of changing the ac quired taste of the American seems too great to justify the attempt , so long as such excellent prices are ob tainable elsewhere for the product. During the last year, says the newly issued annual report of the depart ment's station in Porto Rico, the value of the exports of coffee amounted to a great deal mwe than they ever have since the American occupation. Bet ter cultivation and higher prices have enabled the coffee industry to show great progress, and planters are now following better practices in the selec tion of their seed for planting. The department's station is introducing so called "Java" and other coffees which are yielding better than native coffee and giving a higher percentage of large and uniform grains. The coffee is grown for distribution to planters on the island and has been resulting in greater yields as well as in better prices for the planters. Of the coffee exported during the- last year. $8,378,346 worth went to foreign countries, while only $132,970 worth went to the United States. Al though today there exists a benefit of tariff, the coffee is still following the old lines of trade established by tariff laws during the Spanish regime. It is a marked indication of the truth that trade established upon preference of taste for a certain product is a most difficult one to change. However, as sociations and individuals are still striving to extend the market and to gain even a higher reputation for the coffee of Porto Rico. The grapefruit industry which start ed from nothing 10 years ago is now thriving In Porto Rico and promises good returns to the man with perse verance, industry, and personal super vision. Porto Rico is safe from frosts that threaten the industry on the main land and at the open door of tne best market in the world New York and the eastern seaboard. The grape fruit industry represents me highest type of intensive farming, and is sure to increase to a much greater ex- j tent in Porto Rico as the trees which are already planted come into bearing. The value of the exports of grape fruit last year ($726,687) was exceeded by the exports of two other fresh-fruit industries which have been established for a much greater period in the is land. Oranges were exported to the ! value of $740,010, and pineapples to j the value of $1,142,007. $151,681 worth of canned pineapples was also export ed. There is considerable planting of co- coanuts in Porto Rico and there are extensive areas yet where these trees may be profitably set out. A cocoanut grove, properly cared for, yields a sure and steady Income. Better culti vation, the growing of vegetables among the trees, the utilization of seaweed and other manures, yield ex cellent returns over cost. The value of exports of cocoanuts for the past year amounted to $352,390. Besides being interested in cocoanuts, the department's agricultural station has a number of other nut-bearing trees on trial, both edible and oil-bearing, and it Is hoped that some will prove profitable for cultivation there. Although the other agricultural products show such great promise, su gar and tobacco still continue to lead all others by a big margin. The ex ports of sugar during the last year had a total value of $27,226,905, while the value of the tobacco exports were: manufacture, $5,824,030; unmanufac tured. $3,188,227. Planters are now Introducing proved varieties of cane, while cultivation and fertilization of crop has been vastly Improved. the other hand, lands not well suited to the crop have been planted and oth ers have been continuously planted to cane, so that yields have been reduced to a minimum. Many of these lands.) will now go out of cultivation. Porto Rican tobacco, as well as su- WATCH TOWER PARK Otto's Concert d an Every Tuesday and Friday Afternoon and Evening gar, is being Improved In quality. This improvement is resulting in its finding a larger market.and increasing prices. There is a large population skilled in certain lines of tobacco manufacturing such as cigar-making.

"STAND TOGETHER !" that's the slogan, the policy, the BACK BONE of the Swigart plan and its two thousand united customers. And by that symbol we are fast vanquishing the stumps that have stood all too long in evidence of the great power of the soil that produced them. Collectively we are converting that soil power into a permanent wealth producer for the farmers of the Swigart Tract. To what extent this work is going on in this Tract of 53 townships most of its area in Mason, Man istee. Lake and Wexrord Counties progressive bankers, business and rep resentative men of that locality can testify. im the the On HAD RUPTURE 44JEABS IS A WELL MAN TODAY. THIS IS THE AGE of organiza tion. Let there be unstinted praise and encouragement for individual effort; but the common purpose of many is what builds and sustains a community. Under the direction of our experienced farm advisers train ed at the Michigan Agricultural College and whose time Is .devoted to Instructing settlers in permanent methods of various kinds of farm ing, in handling live stock and in soil conservation, one can readily understand why land values are ev ery year increasing'ln this district, which is developing more rapidly than any other not-fully-developed part of Michigan. One realizes on making a visit here why every year records the opening up of many new farm homes, and the erection of farm- buildings, silos, line fences, more good roads, schools, granges and township halls. ' YOU WOULDN'T THANK US for selling you a piece of land, even at one-half the price our lands command if we left you marooned in the back woods to wait indefi nitely, year after year, for mere chance to bring you neighbors, roads, schools, and by such tokens an increased value of your land. No matter how good the land, how easy the terms or how good the title, something would be lacking If there were not a systematically directed, permanent plan such as our6 of colonizing and bringing In new settlers.

The move ment will be faster in districts where real estate and land men In stead of opposing each other, work together with the hankers, business men and the farmers for the ad vancement of their districts. This is our policy, and we are already far on the way with what is one of the biggest land settlement and col onizing movements in the t'nlted States. Come on one of our excur sions and you will Bee the men who come and buy our lands and who be come settlers, some Immediate. some next season, some the next, practi cally all expecting to be neighbors in the near future. There is actual value added by our colonizing work. It costs you not a penny, as any in vestment made in the work Is re turned by increased value of lands remaining unsold. Every settler helps increase the value of our land. We help increase the value of every settler's land. Therein to co-operation and progress. Co-operation, community interest, pulling together with development as its ob ject, is what makes real estate values anywhere. PRICES in the Swigart Tract go up each year, following in the wake of rising values instead of pre ceding them. Prices are now from $10 to $35 per acre, and a large se lection at $18 per acre. You will be unable to match the lands for quality of soil, location, nearness to railroad and Lake Michigan's har bors and with established settle ments. Terms as low as $50 down and $10 per month on 40 acres, or annual terms if preferred. After the land is partly paid for you are Insured for the balance, so in case of death your family will get a deed to the land without any further pay ment. THE ASSURANCE ru have that we will continue colonizing Is that we are putting large capital in the development of orchards and nu merous other improvements of our own. We operate demonstration farms and have been identified with this project for many years. RECENTLY we published a book of 72 pages, illustrated with 115 photographic views of the Tract It does not contain much of any selling talk, but gives one a com prehensive Idea of the district.
