the great foreign demand 70, wheat, il is ex-
pected the farmer will naturally sell every
bushcI of wheat that he can possibly spare,
and for his home consumption fall back on
corn and rye bread, which are none the less
nrtricious and wholesome. In this way, the
vast crops of indian corn which have hereto
fore been comparatively little used on the
table, will become substitute for wheat.

WANTED

A copy of Senator Phelps Manifesto, for
which a liberal compensation will be paid.
All our efforts to this end have thus far
proved unayailing, and we are indebted to
the courtesey Of a more favored individual,
for even a glance at this truly rare produce
ton. But a small edition was published,
and this, we learn, the friends Of the Sena-
tor are endeavorlng TO suppress. 1t strikes
us as little strange that U. S. Senator
who deemed himself called upon to write
book to vindica,e his suffering reputation,
should so far dis,rust the judgment of the
world as TO limit himself TO an edition of
four hundred, and then restrict its circulation
to confidential friends, only Mr. Phelps
was furnished at the time with copies of the
charges preferred against him at Montpe.
| lier bat he has not reciprocated the com.
nifty by furnishing those he has assailrC
with even copy of his printed document
while the Press generally, we believe, ha
been neglected. We propose to publish an
other edition of it, and devote the profits t,
! the circulation Of certain other documen,
and explanations which are necessary to
fall understanding of this subject.

A writer in the Albany Argus has been al,
some pains TO prepare statistics of the corn
crop in several of the United States. From
these il appears that in 1914 the whole pro-
duction Of indian corn in the United States
was 424 100000 bushels. In 1915, the
season was very favorable. and il is supposed
to be at least $50, 100000. This affords an
enormous supply for home consumption.
The following is the production in bushels
