Wheat Fields of the World.

Milling World: The Mississippi
Valley, says All exchange, is at prs
the greatest wheat field Of the world
and produces Ssge surplus to feed
other portio 81 the United States
and of Europe. California has evil
IDENTIFY arrived at about her highest
production, and must now gradually
decline, as no soil can stand constant
groupings of this cereal which so rap
idly exhausts the soil. Labor in CAL
ifornia is as high as it is in this valley,
but California is three thousand miles
farther from home or foreign markets,
even if she takes the most expensive
way by railroad across the continent
to tide water. By water route it is
10000 miles further from the markets..
So it can never be successful COM
petitor with the Mississippi Valley.
Russia is q wheat producing country
but her fields are far removed from
cheap and efficient transportation.
They are ages behind us in skill and
machinery, but she is really our
strongest competitor for supplying
the European demand. Il '.ssnot the
capacity to supply the full demand,
so we become natural contestants,
with the certainty when wheat is
cheap at home, and the transportation
lines are in favorable mood, we can
drive Russia from the English market.
India however, has the capacity in
amount and richness of soil, as well as
cheapness of labor, to supply all the
deficiencies of all other nations. But
their labor is stupid, unskilled, and
they are deficient in labor-saving i'm
plements, I'm fact labor is so cheap
they donot desire much machinery.
And although labor in India for saw
ing and preparing the wheat crop is
not one eighth what is here, our great
advantage over them is in distance
and cheapness of transportation. The
wheat field of the Mississippi Valley
are about 1000 miles from Liverpool.
The fields of India are about 5000
miles from the same market. The
freight on wheat from the Mississippi
to Liverpool is about 20 per ton. From
the principal grainields of India
which are from 700 to |, 200 miles in
land from Bombay, freight is about
SIS per ton to Liverpool. The long
distance by water and the limited
railroad facilities in India will prob
ably prevail as long as the United
States will haRe airy surplus wheat.
This event is not far distant in the
future. The extension of our wheat
belt toward the frontier is but little
faster than it's contraction in the older
portions Of the States. While we
consume three-fonrths cur production
with a population of 5O,oOo,ooo inhabi-
tants, soon our population will be
double that amount, with but slight
increase in production. In all prob
ability some ofQ9r present business men
willlive to see the time when there
will be with average crops, "a de-
ficiency of wheat to supply home de
mand. One hundred millions Of in
habitants will require 100000 600
bushels of wheat--at least t00,0O0,O 900

their Time Ill SlaIicihS oNoi'
slovenly readers are an affection 10
careful and correct writers. When
such writer sees how his reasoning
and his language are distorted py
them, his mind is apt to become RULED,
and every one knows how n ruffied
mind units man for the work OF
perspicuous composition. We are OF
the opinion that the prevailing pesll-
lence of slovenly reading Is largely
due to the slovenly manner in which
children are taught to read at school.
Teachers must be very careful about
this thing; they must teach their
scholars to read with precision and
understanding, thinking of every
word, getting the sense OF every SEN
tence, and grasping the full meaning
of any piece that may be before them.
Scientific American.
The TRIBUNE has often said that
one of the most potent causes or the
low price of wheat is over production.
Elevators all over the county are full
of wheat ana the market is glutted.
With reference toethis subject the
Chicago Tribune propounds thefcllow-
ing:
as there too much wheat, as there
is too much iron, wool and leather?
Have the energy and the high prices
of the last few years produced glut
of wheat as of manufactures? 1t is
not in the United States alone
that railroads are covering vast tracts
of new land with men and money.
Australia and the Argentine confeder-
alton and India are being supplied
with new lines of transportation, and
are developing capability of raising
millions of bushels of surplus wheat.
Is their competition destined to COM
pei our farmers to readjust their
prices? Our agriculturists have been
making money out of the harvests of
their new soil, as it the prairies were
oceans of gratuitous milk from which
they could take the cream for the
trouble of skimmiug. If it is possible
to haye too many transportation
factories, and too many shoe factories
may it not be possible to have too
many wheat factories? Are not the
times now so prevalent, over the in
dustrial world, greatly lessening the
ability of the poor, who are the vast
majority to consume food with the
appetite of their prosperous years."
1t further says: at is very easy to
ask these questions: it is hard to
answer them. We have 30 cut and
dried responses"
The Buffalo Milling World comment
ing upon the same subject says:
'There can be no question that we
have now in this country more wheat
than we know what to do with. II
would also appear that no preparations
are in progress to curtaii productions
in the immediate future. The value
of wheat now in store, counting cost
of production of transportation, stor-
age insurance, etc., forbids the posi-
bility of disposing Of it readily ex-
cept at absolute loss. We believe il
is capable of demonstration that trans
portation, storage and insurance
charges are not of an unfavorable
nature, and if this be SO, it follows
that cost of production is excessive OF
that amount of production far ex-
ceeds the possibility of disposal at re.
munerative rates.
