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. , T. K, Bruner, Secretary. Raleigh, July 10, 1905. 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" A Masi to Beware or.

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.

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.
