Russia and the Wheat Trade.

Russia Is becoming an interesting factor
as a wheat producer, but her people and
their customs are but little known to the
English and American people, except as the
former are active competitors with our
selves in supplying the grain markets of
the world.
The black lands zone. the garden spot of
Russia. extends right across the Kingdom
from Poland far into the province of
Siberia. They are lands fertile as the delta
of the Nile or the bends of the Mississippi.

manure nor fertilizer of any description.

but here fertilizers or manures have bene-
fetal results. 1t resembles our Western
prairies. having no forests. The black lands
cover some 10000 and the arabic steppes
