The Prosnect for Wheat.

Will it pay for Americans to grow
wheat? This is vital question for our
farming community. This cereal can be
grown in any part of the world, and
steam transportation can literally bring
it from the ends OF the earth for an in
credibly low price. Mr.. Dalrymple,
the great Northwestern wheat-grower,
said recently: I'm my opinion, wheat
will sell in Chicago at 10 cents next
summer. One man with the present
machinery can produce as much wheat
as ten men used to. The production
has increased fourfold in ten years, and
the population less than twofold, be-
sides which all the rest of the world is
raising wheat and we have lost our
foreign market. Winter wheat pros
poets are excellent, and good CIR p
tn year means sixty cent wheat. !"
Other authorities allege that East
Indian wheat can be laid down at a
profit in Liverpool at 10 cents bushel.
III this is true almost any other crop
will pay the American farmer better
than wheat. 1t may be noted in passing
that we seem to have entered upon an
era of extraordinarily cheap prices.
Grain of all kinds, cotton, and wool are
cheaper than they have been since the
beginning of tie century. Meat was
the only food which rose IN value since
the close of the civil war up to 1880, but
the sending of dressed meat East from
Chicago instead of cattle, and the new
supplies from Australia and South
America, has been cheapening exported
meat for the last five years, and the
propect is that flesh food of all kinds will
be relatively as cheap as flour and corn
meal. If any one suffers from want of
food, it will not be because -four and
flesh are dear, but on account of non
employment or low rate of wages,
and more particularly the loss and i'm
pove ishment of the laborer by the ex-
treme and unnecessary use Of alcoholic
liquors. -Demorest's Monthly.
