The Grain Cron in France

Discussing the effect of a good
French harvest upon the competi-
ton of American wheat in Europe,
the French agricultural journal,
Semaine Agricole, says that the
present appearance of the growing
wheat in France is admirable, and
promises superb crop. 1t added
that, for the first time since the
United States wheat began to enter
the French markets, there is the
prospect that France will produce
more than enough to satisfy the
consumption of this grain. Assn
ming that the German yield of
wheat and rye reaches an average
amount, there will be no other i'm
portant foreign market open to
American grain than that of the
United Kingdom. The Manchester
Guardian adds; eve shall then find
out at what price the Americans
can deliver wheat on this side of the
Atlantic, and it will probably be
seen that for the present, at any
rate the cultivation of that cereal has
been pushed too far in the States
for the wants Of ordinary years"
The above remark by the Man
chester Guardian, suggests an i'll
quiry that deserves the attention of
the grain producers and exporters
of this country.
The extraordinary and alarming
decrease in the annual yield Of the
cereals in some sections of the
United States, more especially
wheat, compels the conclusion that
the farmers in their eagerness to re-
alize Immediately all they possibly
could from these soils have been
actively drawing out and sending
off the life, strength and wealth.
producing power of the lands, thus
actually impoverishing themselves
as well as their soils. There is no
good reason, unless in a very few
instances, why the productiveness
of land properly cultivated and
cared for should ever diminish, and
yet, in disregard of this recognized
fact, a very large portion of our
wheat growing lands, millions of
acres, are now yielding less than
one third as much as they did when
first opened from twenty to thirty
years since. A similar remark, if
this were the place for it, might be
made in regard to large tracts of
land devoted together branches of
agriculture, notably tobacco and
cotton. @

Science and Agriculture.

This lack of adequate Develop
ment in agriculture is due to two
main causes; to the rarity of scien-
tifc investigation into the princi-
Piles upon which the tilIing of the
ground (and the care of cattle)
ought to be carried out. e., into
the laws governing the growth of
crops and of beasts-and to the
want of adequate scientific training
on the part of the farmer. SO far
from being an occupation which
any one may follow without AIDE.
quate preparation, being governed
simply by rude empiric rules, farm
ing is in reality difficult art, de-
handing wide scientific knowledge
and SOUND scientific Judgment on the
part even of him who merely prac-
tees it, and taxing to the utmost the
skill and power of original inquiry
Of those who desire to advance its
scientific basis There is an urgent
need in this, as in other counties, OF
scientific investigation, as distin-
guished from mere empiric trials,
Of sustained inquiry as distinguish
cd from scattered and fitful expert
meDts, into the relations of soil and
crops, of beasts and food, in order
that the tilIage of the land may,
like the practice eff the other pro-
LESSONS in which man has to strug-
gle against nature, expand with in
sight into the laws of nature instead
of being hamperod by blind obedi>
ence to traditions and narrowed by
timid experience, There is no less
urgent need that the practical iar~
mer should be so far trained in sci~
ence as to be able to make an intel
Iigent use of the advantages which
science offers him, as well as to be
able to avoid the snares which false
science continually spreads for him.
