Our wheat. Corr ana tha war-


The New York World saws Russia
difficulty in our. opportunity It is an
nounced that the exports of wheat usually
sent from the northern ports will be seri-
ously diminished in consequence of the
war. and that the export from tie southern
ports will be cut off altogether. The Lon
don Economist, in the last number at hand.
on the authority of London expert. treats
the cessation of shipments from the
south of Russia" as foregone conclusion,
and afirms that there is reason to believe
that both the English crop and the French
will be defeient-that is TO say, the demand
tor imported wheat will be greater than
usual both 10 France aud England, aud the
chief source of supply will be cut eff. 1t
Is perhaps useless to speculate how much
the diminution will be in the exports from
the northern ports OF Russia, but the usual
supply from that source is not much more
than half the supply from the southern
ports, which is now absolutely cut off.
The proportion, taking the average of the
years 1871 inclusive, was almost exactly
as one to two. With the shortness of the
crops or even with az average crop in CEN
trail or western Europe it seems. therefore.
that at least two thirds of the wheat usually
shipped from Russia to England and
France will be called for from this
country. The importance of this virtually
new outlet for our surplus may be Judged
by the fact that the export of wheat from
Russia to England alone for the five years
named above was OF the average value of
100000, or almost the same as our
export OF wheat for the same years. Such
an access to our trade as doubling of our
export of wheat would be of great import
anee to us at any time At this time it is
OF vast Importance OF our own ability to
meet this increased demand the assurance
OF our magnificent wheat crop leaves us no
doubt. 1t Is the opinion of careful experts
that the surplus of this crop available for
expectation will be between eighty millions
and one hundred millions of bushels. The
promise of market in Europe for SO large
a share of it is more solid assurance of
better times than almost any other assur-I
ance that could be given to US.
Ihls blessing has come to us underserv-
ed. That we should get share of the
RUSSIAN wheat trade happens to be our |
good fortune and the misfortune of Rus |
STA. To keep it will require wisdom in |
the relaxing of our abominable CONNER
clal laws. We do not even now get the |
whole benefit of our increased export, for
our navigation laws made it impossible that
Americans should get the profit of hand |
ling and transporting to its market the |
surplus OF this great harvest. But if con- |
gress does its duty what is now a windfall
may become a steady and permanent
source of prosneritv.

ally describe trees on their catalogues as
''second class" "medium," ''frst class" and
"extra.' The difference in these classes is
principally if not wholly, in the size and
height of the trees and as most farmers
desire the best, they suppose that the large
extra" trees merit that description, and
hence order them. The fact is, however,
that small tree will grow faster and (if a
fruit tree) come into bearing condition soon
er than a large one and, as the NeW Eng.
land Homestead states, in half dozen
years the tree that was small when planted
will be larger and finer than the other
The larger the tree, the larger the roots
which it has, and the la.5c:: the roots the
less fibers there will be upon them. A,tree
that has plenty of fbrous roots will grow
readily it proper scare is used in transporta-
ton but no amount of skill can coax a tree
to live aud flourish whicheis destitute oi
these little fbers. The roots of large trees
are always more or less mutilated in the
process of taking up, while small trees sus
tain littls injury from. this source. Dealers
in trees assert that experienced men buy
small thrifty. trees, while those who arc JUS
starting are anxious for the largest to b.
had. Those who are to set trees the comins
season will do well to learn from the expe
rience OF those who, at considerable loss h
themselves, have demonstrated that small
