The District commissioners have settled
the Corcoran Market square controversy by
agreeing to set aside part OF that square for
school site. Messrs. Lovejoy, Curtis, Temple
and Somerville, members of tho building
committee Of the school board, called upon tho
commissioners yesterday TO urge that por-
ton'of the Corcoran Market square bo used as
site for new school building. Tho ques-
tion of using any portion of this property for
school purposes was discussed at considerable
length, the members Of the committee stating
that there WIS no division of sentiment upon
this matter in the scnool board Mr.. Loveioy
being asked his opinion rs a lawyer as to the
power of the commissioners under the law to
grant permission to occupy the square for
school purposes, replied that he had no doubts
at all rs TO their power. Nothing IN the deed
given by Mr.. Corcoran. he said, would inter-
tere With it, and 1t was absurd for those OPP
posed to erecting a school building there to
advance such arguments. Major Twining said
that he had no doubt Of their power but
there was q question of economy which en-
tered into the matter, as the District now de-
rivcs an income Of several hundred
dollars year from the market. Mr.
Somcrville suggested that nothing he done to
interfere with the market people who were
located on the O-strect side, and advocated
that the school he erected on the P.street side.
Mr.. Temple thought the P-street side the more
available, aud Mr. Curtis considered the
O-strcct side the lest for school building.
As there was evidently difference Of opinion
in regard to the best location, Commissioner
Dent suggested that the committee visit tho
square, compare notes and agree upon site
Thcrcupon, the committee left and returned
In half an hour, in company with School Trus.
tee Lambert. They reported in favor of the
P.streot side of the square, fronting 200 feet
on that sleeet and running back 1876 feet to

asscnted. The full building committee of the
school board will at once consider plans for
tho new building, aud the work will be begun

side; the patient is rarely able to lie

is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom-
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy SEN
sation in the back part. There is gen.
orally considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of WEAKNESS

the sacks. or in the other that the stack heads
will heat and spoil in the stack. There is I'M
doubtedly saving in the expense of harvest
ing by the use of the header, and decidedly
30 if the work of heading and harvesting can
go on at the same time. But there are other
matters for farmers to consider in connec-
ton with harvesting wheat besides the
matter of expense. The value of wheat al
ter it is harvested is quite an important con-
sideration, ard, as we think, even more i'm
portant than the expense of harvesting. We
have shown in former article that wheat
allowed to stand uncut in the field beyond
certain stage of ripeness decreases rapidly in
weight and value-that wheat'is the heaviest
and possesses greater value for four-making
if cut Just at the time the dough has become
fixed, and before the grain has become hard
and finty. The kernel should not be soft,
but it should give little when pressed be-
tween the thumb and finger. The field
should present dark greenish-yellow, and
not bright or lightyellow appearance. The
former of these conditions indicates that the
grain is ripe, but the latter indicates that it is
dead-ripe. The grain, if cut with long
straw when just ripe, will not dry
out and shrink in weight or lose in -four max
ing qualities, but will remain at its greatest
weight and greatest value for milling. If,
however, it be allowed to remain standing, it
shrinks in weight aud loses materially in
quality. 1t has been shown, by actual ex-
periments conducted in Iowa. that when the
Weld per acre was fourteen bushels the loss
in weight in passing from the ripe to the dead
ripe stage, while standing, was bushel and
a half At the same rate of loss, if grain
would yield twenty-eight bushels per acre,
the loss or shrinkage would be three bushels
per acre. In addition to this actual loss in
weight, good millers say that the real mill
ing value of wheat allowed so to stand in the
field till dead ripe is not less than ten per
cent. Now, with these facts before them, is
there no other consideration for farmers to
look at but expenses of harvesting? AS
farmers, we are too apt to allow ourselves to
be influenced by custom and not sufficiently
in the habit of investigating for ourselves.
Have not the headers ran away with our
heads as well as a portion of the weight ana
value of our wheat?

OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS FOR 1879

Though the past year was generally con-
sidered an off year in wheat and many other
agricultural products, for California, the
outcome makes a very creditable showing.
Wheat was affected in many sections by the
rust, and fell far below what would have
been the product had not this disease over
taken it. Many crops were almost entirely
destroyed and large sections were injured
and reduced from twenty-five to fifty per
cent in yield, and we think that the loss to
the entire crop of the State could not have
ben less than ten per cent. from this cause
alone, and we are not certain but the per-
centage of loss was much greater. We should
remember also that the season year ago was
in wheat, and that much of the wheat
put in early suffered materially from
the drought before the rainy season
fairly set in, and that when the rains COM
menced they continued so late in the season
that there was but little opportunity to get
wheat into the ground in COOL condition at
all. That the ground, as a general thing,
was in very weedy condition, and the sea-
son favored the weeds and was not favorable
for the wheat.
Notwithstanding all these drawbacks, the
crop of the State was, in round numbers,
90, 400, 600 .centals. At two dollars a GENITAL,
about the average price for the past har-
vest, this wheat was worth S44,S00,000. Of
10000 900 centals, while the product of wool
was 46, 9OO,0OO pounds, and the wine pro-
duced was not less than 10000 900 gallons.
While these figures are not large, they are
very creditable for an off year. This year
there has been a much more favorable seed
ing season, and a much larger area of wheat
has been sown, and should the season prove
favorable, we may expect greatly increased
Weld
