WHEAT AT Two DOLLARS BCsHEL.-The
high price of grain and -four at this time Is a
subject upon which much profitable attention
can and will doubtless be bestowed by political
writers. Three times in the present century,
saws the Rochester American, has Wheat reach
ed the hieh faure Of two dollars a bushel in the
valley Of the Genesee. In 1915, By reason Of
remarkably cold summer and a very short
corn crop; in 1886, BY somewhat unpropitlous
season and neglect Of agriculture for purposes
of trade and speculation, compelling the large
importation of breadstutlS from Eurupej and III
1854, by reason of short crops in Western and
Central Europe and the war between Russia
and Turkey. Meteorological statistics IN Great
Britain and France disclose facts which Amer
lean farmers and millers would do we'll to study
more closely than has been customary in this
country Meteorological records for the summer
of 1853 show that but one previous summer IN
the presen. century had been so cold and un-
friendly to the full maturity Of crops IN ENGLAND
and France. The climate of England is bare
" warm enough to ripen full crops of wheat in
ordinary seasons. and it will not grow maize at
all. These facts being understood, it is Obvious
that whenever May, June, July, and August are
essentially colder than usual in England, Scot
land and Ireland, short crops and largely in-
creased imporlatio.s are Inevitable. Since
1916, there has not been so cold summer IN
Western Europe as that of 1853. To this was
adedd generally unfavorable time for harvest,
and the farther adverse idauence Of the antici-
pated war.
1t must be borne in mind that England has
two inhabitants for one titled acre, and that the
area or tire Fsl->-,y' ,cc-,,ot increase with fhe
steady increase of population. Hence, with no
short crops her annual importation Of grain IN
creases even faster than the population because
the masses have higher standard of comfort,
and much higher wages now than they had ten
years ago. We have the statistics, both mete-
geological and agricultural, to verify these
statements, but deem it Unnecessary to trouble
the reader with the figures. Results alone are
important; and after a careful review of all the
facts we can discover no good reason to believe
that the harvest of 1854 in Europe will fully
compensate the short crops of 1888.
Until the harvest of 1855, Europe Will re-
ouire a unusual amount of American bread
stufis, and there is now sown no extraordlny
breadth of land to wheat in the United States.
