NEWSPAPER NOTES. Another evidence Of
the prosperity of our farmers is the prosperity
of the farmers papers. Last week the Home
Farm began new volume-the fourth-n a
greatly enlarged and improved form, and its adj
vcrlising columns show Il liberal patronage.
The contents include articles by practical writ
ers, covering wide range of topics relating to
the farm and home. This is the largest issue
of an agricultural paper ever published in
Maine, and last weeks edition of the Home
arm was 10000 copies. Mr. 5. l.. BoarClman,
the editor, has long been known as Il graceful
and able writer on agricultural and kindred
topics, and skilful journalist as well. He
has made the Home Farm most useful and
readable paper and his enterprise deserves to
be rewarded by largely increased patronage

contained the vaedctory of Dr. w. b. Lapham.

PROSPECTIVE competition between the
United States and India as wheat. pro-
duoing juutries invites increased discus
sion b. the English press. BY many OF
our Transatlantic contemporaries it is
believed that when the Indiln system of
irrigation shall be perfected and when
cheap labor is followed by cheap trans
portaton, our cis.atlantio wheat growers
will find their occupation, ii not gone, GER
tainly less rcmunerative. We fail to see
that the American wheat grower is ex-
posed to danger 1t is by no means GER
tain that a country SO densely peopled
as British India ever will be able to pro-
duce surplus for export of any staple
article Of food. Moreover, history teaches
us that the agriculture OF any country
has never been menaced by cheapness Of
labor or OF transportation, On the con-
trary, foreign competition stimulates ma.
tive industry, and this results in better
methods oi cultivation and an increased
yield. Agriculture in England has not
suffered from American competition.
The English farmer produces us much
as he eve' did, ii not more, and is reiIn-
bursed tot his labor That he does not
and can not pay as much rent now as
he did before is fact, but this affects
only the income OF the landlord. In
free America, where every man owns the
soil he til's, we don't care whether this
is or is not the case. There seems to be
no likelihood that the world will not
have a population sufficient TO consume
all the food that the world can produce.
Again, food products Of the soil make a
market for themselves. Never since
the first wheat was reapel by man
has it been tho case that an increase of
food production was not followed at
once by like increase in other branches
OF industry, and the natural law of bar.
ter has taken place, as il will take place
while wheat is sowed. Agriculture is
the true Arohimedean lever; without it
the world would not move. 1t is inde.
pendent OF oil other human vocations,
while they depend directly on it. As to
India, even should more wheat be grown.
then the home consumption also will
increase relatively. AS we have said,
there may never be an exportable surplus
OF wheat in India; il there were, itmight
not be able to compete with American
and ii it were able, England is very
small fractional section OF the earth's
surface. That this question may be of
great interest to English landlords we
perceive very readily, but we do not see
that it is OF any very special interst to
American wheat growers.
