Baltimore Boa. : ; ' . ,
If the Government's figures are relia
ble, the grain production of the United
States this year will -realize the most
hopeful expectations, although not
tablishing a new record. The indica
tions are. baaed on nresent ernn oandi
tioDS, of a yield of 705,525,000 bushels
of wheat. The record harvest that of
11)01 was 748,460,216 bushels. Last
year the harvest was estimated at 652,
000,000 bushels. This year Unci Bam
should have, according to his statist!1
cians, at least 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat more than in 1904, and possibly
150,000,000 bushels. Th outlook for
corn is equally encouraging. The area
planted in this cereal elhis year is 94,
000,000 acres, the acreage being ap
proximately as great as it was in 1904,
when the production was 2,467,000,000
bushels. . All signs indicate a bumper
corn crop next fall, s j. J
The production of sucE an immense
quantity of grain implies a tremendous
expenditure of energy on the part of
the American farmer and also a sub
stantial addition to the wealth of the
nation. In the Baltimore wholesale
market on Tuesday "spot" wheat closed
at 89 cents a bushel, July 87 J, August
at 87, September at 87f; settling prioe
for spot, 88 cents. The dosing quota
tions for corn were: For "spot" and
July, 61 ; for August, CI; settling price
"spot," 61 cents a busheL . If these
prices should prevail throughout the
season, the wheat crop or 19U6 would
net the farmers of this coun try appro
imately OUU.UW.UUU, while the corn
crop should be worth 81,400,000,000.
In 1902 the American farmer prodnoed
corn which was worth over a billion
dollars on the farm. . These are im
pressive figures and suggest interesting
considerations. They demonstrate how
important a factor in the prosperity of
this country is agriculture. The public
has been stirred from time to time at
the announcement that some colossal
corporation had been chartered with a
capital running into hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. , Indeed, the United
Stales is the sole possessor of a "billion
and-a-half-dollar trust." Those who
look at the subject only on the
surface are apt to conclude that it is
the gigantic corporations which do the
business of the country and contribute
largest measure to its prosperity
This is a grievous error.
There are some enormously powerful
industrial combinations in the United
States. That fact is evident to all who
investigate economic conditions. But
not one of them perhaps it would be
no exagoration to say not ail of them
combined would be as powerful as a
trust composed of all the farmers of the
United States. .
If the agricultural production of this
country were cut in half the railroads
would soon find it necessary to reduce
ther dividends, if not to stop payment
of them entirely. For the railroads de
rive a large part of their profits from
the transportation of grain and cotton
and other products of farm and field.
If the production of wheat should be
only one half of . the average harvest
the price of bread would soar to dizzy
heights unless we should be able to im
port grain from other countries, and
even importations might not materially
improve the situation. Fortunately, it
is not neocfsary to consider such a pos
sibility at present There will be
enough grain, according to indications,
for home use and for exportation this
year.
The fact that the farmers of the
United States sell their surplus wheat,
cotton, corn and cattle to Europe is an
important element in our trade rela
tions with the Old World. Europe has
complained in late years that Ameri
can trusts "dumped" their surplus pro
duction into foreign markets. No com
plaint has ever been made about Ameri
can exports of foodstuffs. It is true
the agricultural interests in Germany
have not been pleased, bat the German
masses were anxious to get our grain
and meat. Great Britain is largely de
fendant npon the United States for
Dread and meat, and also the raw ma
terial for its cotton industry. Conti
nental Europe also ioks to this coun
try for supplies. ' The consequence is
that iSpen the annual trade balance be
tween the Old World and the New is
made up the American. farmer is found
to have contributed materially toward
making Uncle Sara a creditor instead
of a debtor of our friends screes the At
lantic ' - '
When the announcement is made by
the Government that all probabilities
point to satisfactory grain sand cotton
crops, every American instictively
realizes that pr spent on the farm
will mesa also ' prosperity ia trade
Hence everybody will wish that the
crop estimates may be justified by the
results when all the crops have been
harvested. If the farmer is smiling
over the prospect there is good reason
why all other workers should rejoice at
the outlook.
A Relic at site Confederacy.
In "Cuilings From the Confederacy"
Miss Nora F. M. Davidson, of Peters
burg, V'a., ha brought together in
volume of 163 pages may attractive
prose and poetical selection frotn the
literature of the Civil War period. The
poems, as the compiler explains on the
title-page of the book, include "the
doggerel of the camp, as well tender
tributes to the dead." Therms is far
distant when confederate poems will
fail to interest the Southern people. In
this collection are many verses whioh
will appeal to the heart of Dixie. Miss
Davidson, the compiler of this volume,
was one of the large number of devoted
women in the South who distinguished
themselves by their noble works during
the great conflict, nursing the sick and
wounded soldiers in the hospitals and
contributing in every possible way to
the advancement of the Southern cause
It is interesting to learn from Miss
Davidson's book that the Decoration
Day of the North had its inspiration in
the Memorial Day exercises at Peters
burg in 1868. This statement is made
on the authority of Mr. John A. Lo
gan, widow of the soldier and politician.
Mrs. Logan visited Petersburg in 1868,
saw the flower-strewn graves and told
her husband about it. He was at that
time commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic General Logan
decided that there ought to be a na
tional decoration of the graves of
Northern dead. He conferred with
members of the organization of which
he was chief and the result was the
selection of May 30th s Dacoratian
Day.
To aecare Parsa Help.
The report received by the Agrioul
tural Department from more than 70
counties indicate a scarcity of labor.
and a desire to secure both tenant and
share-settlers. In order to aid in sup
plying this need the board has author
ized the department to undertake to
secure, for those applying for them,
such immigrants as are indicated above,
and to that end blanks have been
ordered and will be forwarded to those
who may wish to engage either labor,
tenants or share-settlers.
It is time to prepare for another year,
and those interested will therefore write
the Department of Agriculture, at Ral
eigh, after August 11 of this year, for
blanks on which to make formal appli
cation for the person or persons
needed.
It has also been arranged to list in
the department such forests, farms and
mineral lands as may be offered for
sale; such lists to be printed and sent
out with the literature of the depart
ment. Blanks for this purpose will also
be supplied to all persons applying.

How He Knew the Blae.
A man who had recently become en-
gaged to a charming young girl, says
Harper's Weekly, chanced to be in a
fashionable shop when his eye caught
a glimpse of a jeweled belt that seemed
to him an acceptable gift for his fiancee.
He asked a clerk to plaoe an assort
ment of the belts on the counter.
Ladies' belts?" queried the polite
salesman. "Certainly, sir; what rise?"
The young man blushed. "Really,"
he stammered, "I don't know." And
he gazed about him helplessly for a
moment or so. Finally a happy thought
appeared to strike him. "Can't you
let me have a yardstick for a moment?"
he atked. The yardstick being forth'
coming, he placed it along the inside
of his arm from shoulder to wrist
Then looking up at the clerk, he ex
claimed triumphantly, "Twenty
inches I"

It is, as a rule, dangerous to speak
of the large tacr greatest enterprise or
institution of any kind. For another
that you don't know about comes in
after a while to show your ignorance.
Comparisons are dangerous, in other
words. Nevertheless, the Miller Bros.
farm out in Oklahoma is said to be the
largest in the world and is sufficient, in
dimensions, to say the least. Three
brothers own it, the oldest 32, the
youngest 23. Their father got the
most of it from the government when
the Indian reservations were thrown
open for homesteader a few years ago.
Some has been bought since, some
from the Indiana. The entire estate
oonsitt of 87,000 acres, an area larger
than many of our counties and equal
in territory to not a few principalities
in Europe, The farm has its own tele
phone system of more than 35 miles of
wire and cost $35,000 to install it.
The fence about the farm cost 110,000
and the orchard has 11,000 fruit trees.
The present growing crop consists of
9,000 acres of wheat, 26,000 acres of
corn, 500 acres of oats alfalfa and 12,
000 acres of watermelons. The run
ning expense of the farm are 1 5,000
per month; 500 men are employed and
there are 15,000 head of cattle. Ten
thousand ton ot hay are out annually,
and it requires 42 binder to harvest
the wheat The land is furrowed and
fallowed by five steam gang plows,
while 600 mules and 250 cow ponies
are required as beasts of burden. The
Miller Bros., while fond of fine horses,
travel mostly in automobiles.. The
farm is incorporated at $300,000, but
neither declares dividends nor offered
for sale. These are cold, bare figures,
but to read of the taking up, by the
elder Miller only a few brief years ago,
of ranch 101 and the development of
the ranch into a modern, highly im
proved farm by brothers, the oldest of
whom is not yet 40, is like gleaming
from highly flavored fiction. The
farm, in all its departments, is so well
organized that all on those broad acres,
moves with less friction and ease than
on most one-horse farms that you and
know about. Organization, order,
method on the farm as well as else
whereis that which tells in our day.

SUNDAY IN TBI FAB WIS.
Clarene H. Poe, in Tbe Progressive Farmer.
Speaking of Sunday Bchool remind
me that the Sabbath is held in no such
reverence in the west as it is in North
uaroiina. At Riverside we saw more
than one man working in the garden
on Sunday morning; between River
side and Los Angles reapers were at
work in the harvest field; and in Los
Angle itself Sunday afternoon we found
the carpenter busy at work on a 12
story sky scraper. JCven at night a
cheap tb.ea.re drew its motley crowd,
but our North Carolina party turned
instead to a church it happened to be
a Methodist church that we compro
mised on and were gratified at bear
ing an old-iashioned Southern sermon
with such familiar hymn-a"Just I
Am" and "Nearer, My God to Thee."
The only unnatural part of the service
was that half of the women took off
their hat and that one woman led in
prayer. And right here I might say
that these western women are very in
dependent anyhow. They are more in
clined to lay what they please and do
what they please without waiting for
the aid or consent of an esoort, than
our Southern girls, and more of the
house work is done thereby the women
of the family and less by servants.
