Too Much Wheat.

The low price of Wheat which is ruling
at the present time is attributed by
those who are best informed, o the vast
increase in the acreage planted through
out the world.
The monopoly at n time enjoyed by
the farmers of the Western and Middle
States in the foreign markets in this
cereal has been taken away from them
bv the development of the Great North
west. the improvement in machinery for
milling Spring Wheat, and especially
bv the stimulus given by England to her
colonies in raising Wheat. in order to
make herself independent of this country
and Russia.
Farmers should turn their attention
more To crops in which they have
| special advantages. In this latitude the
lands are peculiarly adapted TO Corn
| and Castor Beans. and the area for sue
! rcSsful cultivation of the latter is smaller
than for Corn.
Castor Beans are only raised for com
mcrcial purposes in India and the
United States, and the farmer Is pro.
tccted by a heavy duty against the In,
/ iia Bean. and the home demand fol
several wears has exceeded the supply.
| The cultivation of the Castor Bean Is
no more difficult-in fact. is about the
same as that of Corn. 1t is not eX'
hau>ting but fertilizing to the soil. and
for farmers situated some distance from
the railroads. the Bean is Il much more
profitable crop, Is more money Is e
lied for one buShel of Beans than five
bushels of Corn. 1t may also be said
in its favor that the Bean will keep in 1
dry place without injury for an indie
finite period.-Fdrmsrs' Friend, april,
