There is no doubt that the crops are late. Hard rains have caused an excess of moisture in the Dakotas and Minnesota and there is already considerable rust on the lower leaves. Even with a continued period of fair weather, the fact still remains that the crops are late. The days are creeping on and the weather is not at all propitious. Unfavorable reports are continually coming in and with them many samples of poor wheat. Ex- cessive moisture has caused stunted and backward wheat and many of the samples are not only very small but of very poor color. The hope all along has been that the weather would turn better, but right up to today at noon, our private wire advices from the Red River valley tell of rain and hail at Grand Forks and Hunter and other points. How much damage this has done, or how serious it is with reference to crops we cannot say, as reports are only just in, but it illustrates the state of the weathergreat un- certainty and conditions very erratic. There is not the slightest hesitation in saying what Ortorrrille, Minn.We are having entirely too much rain and conditions are becoming serious.

There was a time when the northwest stood to raise a bumper crop, and views and opinions of values were based on this. With the past week of bad weather the hope of a bumper has gone. How much wheat the northwest will raise no one can tell yet, but any observ- ing man can see the situation. Wheat, on a commercial basis should not be worth less than present prices even with a good crop, and with a poor crop no one can say how high the price will be a little later on. W do not believe iii taking alarm unnecessarily, and have been conservative all along against damage re- ports, because always there was a chance for the crop to recover with improvement in the weather, but anyone can see that at this date, with the wheat so backward, red rust very general, and a weather outlook still un- certain, it is time to abandon all old notions of a big crop and consider rather whether the northwest is going to produce even a satisfactory crop or not.

Bnt President 2oren and Others Ot Jected and the Ballots Were Altered Minor Officers and Committees Are ElectedAttendance Is Dwindling as Session Nears Its Close. (Earlier proceedings of the Norwegian L\jthei an synod will be found on page 4.) There were many vacant chairs the church this moraine whet' the Nor wegian synod began the last day's work of the general conference. Many members had left for their homes, and the balloting was light when the meet ing proceeded to elect men to fill the many minor offices. The" committee on nominations had prepared a list of candidates, but some of these were not entirely satisfactory, and the ballots were amended by the addition of many new names. President Koren and others especial ly objected to one of the men nominat ed for member of the publishing-house management. Some of the members seem to have been at cross purposes, and the nominating committee had thrown overboard the present secretary of the board, Professor George Mark hus, and proposed to replace him by a man in the employ of a rival publish ing concern in Decorah. Other Elections. Eev. C. N. Petersen1 Elanation was elected al ternate for the treasurer of the synod. The auditors elected are: Eev. E. A. Strom, John Hexom: alternates, Profes sor E. O. Kaasa, A. L. Haakensen. Members of finance committee: Eev. C. N. Petersen, Eev. J. B. Torrison, Eev. J. Halvorsen, Joseph 0. Estrem. The trustees of the synod are five in Wnmber, and of these a maionty must, according to the articles or incorpora tion, reside in "Wisconsin. Those elect ed are: President, V. Koren, Eev. A. K. Sagen of La Orosse, Eev. K. Bjorgo of Eed Wing, Thomas Torrison or Manito woc and Andrew Jensen of Edgerton, Wis. The following were elected managers of the church extension work: Eev. S. S. Eoque, president Bev. Olaf Purmo, secretary Eev. J. A. Thorsen, Chr. Boxrud of Eed Wing, and "V. Gulbrand son of Albert Lea. The auditing of their accounts was left to Jens LienLok ken and Edward Seielstad of La Orosse. This afternoon the synod held a short meeting at Luther college corpor ation to ratify the elections and other facts of the general conference in re gard to the college. The committee which reported on the clmrcli extension work, asked for an ex of the alleged fact that loans ad been made to wealthy congrega tions, while there had been no funds for the use of poor churches which needed assistance. President Bjiorge said in reply, that it was the synod church in Eed Wing which had received a loan. Tho it was supposed my some to be wealthy, he explained that the con gregation in question had been hard 1resse for the money needed to en arge its church and he defended the action of the church extension manage ment. The meeting declared his ex planation entirely satisfactory. For Seamen's Missions. Appropriations were made to carry on the work of the seamen's missions in New York and San Francisco. The synod extended its thanks to Eev. E. Peterson, who for many years has labored as a missionary among the immigrants in New York, and has done it on a salary of $400 a year, and yet never complained. Eev. B. K. Kleken made a warm plea for a more vigorous prosecution of the English work Chi cago and it was decided to send a new worker into this field, with the under standing that he shall be under the -joint direction of the Norwegian synod and the German Missouri synod. The final adjournment was set for 5:80 p.m. MEDICS EN TOUR Soo Line Carrying Hundreds of Knights of the Capsule. Doctors galore are passing- thru Min neapolis today.
