Wr send Dakota seed to Rus

to compete with our own pro
duct in the markets of the world.
To plant, cultivate, nip and
harvest her own ci»|ts we send
to Russia nearly one-lialf our to
lid exports of agricultural ma
chinery. This year we have al
ready shiptied some 80.000 tons
of these implements to the land
of the Czar. In former vrar-t all
this t>assed through the ports of
New York and Philadelphia, but
a fractional increase in freight
rates between the lakes and the
East has diverted the trade to
Southern ports, while experi
ments are being made in direct
shipment from Chicago by way
of the'lakes, the St. Lawrence
River and the Atlantic Ocean.
The cotton plant first came to
America from Asia; now tbe
greater part of tbe Central Asian
crop ia grown from American
cotton seed. American cultiva
tors till the soil, which ia wa
tered by so American irrigation
system. Yankee gins clean the
fiber. American compounds
press tbe cotton into bales
wrapped with American bands,
and finally the cotton finds its
wsy to Moscow over a railroad
built with American capital and
is turned into cloth by second
hand machinery from au Atneri
can cotton factorv, to compete
abroad with American prints.
Another regular article of ex
port to Central Asia is the Ohio
grape vine catting. The vine
yards of Central Asia are all off
shoots from American vines,
and tbe fruit i* prized above all
others in Russia proper for its
delicacy and flavor. Twenty or
thirty tons of American grapes
to th«. ncre ia a common yield in
Central-Asia, and as the Ameri
can vine is free from parasites it
la being introduced everywhere
the world over, from Sooth Afri
ca to Northers China and Japan.
We atOI export tobacco plants
to Russian Asia, so that the
Russian tobacco, grapes, cotton
and wheat crops are all Atneri

mountain climbing.
Out of thin vast increase In the cam

grown a large number of aeddaots, end
moat of tbam can ba attributed directly
to tho coraleaeaeae with which tourists
hero coma to regard perilous mountain

thentic statistics bearing upon tho
number of neddanta and the results
Trcra hard, next to Impossible, to ob
tain. for the reason that they were ex
aggeratnl In some quarters and diulo
laboil In others. Dut a Swiss doctor
who Is a member or tlic Alpine club
baa taken this matter In baud end pro
sent* doom Interesting fact* on the gen
eral subject of mountain climbing and
Its effects. HU report covers the tea
years between lfluo and 1001 and em
bodies exceedingly Interesting Ogutm
Pnrtienlarly worthy of notice sro the
figure* which give lb* nationality of
thoso who lent tbdr lire*. In all they
numb*rod 306, of whom 318 wore tour
ists, 78 guides and 14 porters. Tbs ma
jority, 100 lu fact, were Carman a, in
cludlug Austrian*; 48 were Swiss, 28
Italians, 13 KugUsb or Americans, 10
French sad the remainder of different
nationalities. It hi surprising that so
few were French, bat then Alpine
climbing Is ocemely the sort of sport or
recreation likely to commend Itself to
the Fraocliman, sod as for tbs small
number of BngUsb and Americans,
Who form noth a targe proportion of
the visitors at tho Alpine resorts and
are each regular climbers, this may be
explained by tho fact that, taking them
as a whole, they ere careful though
courageoM In what they do, Invariably
ongags a gqpd guide if they bare any
doubt of their own knowledge of tho
way and. further, make their visits at
tho time of the year most favorable for
mountaineering.
Another point of Interest made dear
by those statistics la*that ascents to
high points, mods both with and with
out guides, slowly bat sorely become
naore and more frequent during the
decade lu question.
Accidents which mar tho sport of
mountain climbing are attributed to
various ceases, one of ths commonest
of which la asgiset to am piny tho serv
