Back From England.

President W. NJ. Lloyd returned from
his trip to Europe Monday and reports
very pleasant voyage. He did not take
the time to visit the continent, but spent
some weeks in England, Ireland and
Scotland. He will reserve the continent
for another visit, he says. He states
that the same condition as to crop short
age is heard there as reported here, and
does not think the statements greatly ex-
aggerated. Russia is making loan for
the purchase OF supplies of food Mr..
Lloyd says American securities are
standing better than ever IN the English
market, but the Barring failure has made
all investors cautious, and they are still
further preparing for emergencies by dis.
posing largely of American securities in
order to have available funds.
Mr.. Lloyd was asked If the rumors Of
his erecting block of stores on north
Fifth avenue were true. In reply he
stated that they had been considering
the proposition, and if the present crop
outlook continued they might feel safe
in doing SO, but he had not had time to
consult with his associates regarding the
matter as yet, and would probably reach
no decision for ten days or two weeks.

The Wheat Situation At the Present
Date.

From The State: Our crop is grand.
The European crops worse than ever
represented.
The true value of wheat greater than
ever before.
The receipts of new wheat az terminal
points during the last two weeks of July
twice as large as ever before.
The price Of wheat would be lower
than ever before, it the speculators were
not afraid of the farmers.
Our circulars commenced to 90 out
fourteen days ago, and the last of them
will reach the farmer this week.
They could, of course, not have infu-
enced the receipts of wheat during the
last weeks of July, but the enormous
and entirely unprecedented rush that
took place showed clearly how necessary
1t was to sound warning.
Where our supplement has arrived
farmers are now holding back, and the
receipts of wheat at terminal points
show a marked decline.
Reports from Kansas, where our cir
cular reached first, say the railroad COM
panies have distributed cars all over the
state, but farmers hold back as like one
man. The cars don't move.
No more talk heard of 70 cent wheat.
The speculator is afraid of the farmer
now. In fourteen days they will be more
SO.

Glad to get Back.

Foster County Independent: Quite
an outfit passed through Darlington last
Friday bound for the Red Riyer valley
where few years ago they were prosper
GUS farmers, but not getting rich as fast
as they thought they ought to, decided
to remove to Boise City, Idaho. Gather
ing their stock together with $4,000 they
made the change. Things have been
going from bad to worse with them ever
since, up to last year, when they were en-
tirely cleaned out by grasshoppers. This
last spring they decided to pull up stakes
and come back to North Dakota and
make fresh start. When they reached
Darlington they had travelled 100 miles
overland and were pretty we'll played out
but were feeling happy to think that
they had got back to North Dakota
where they expect to settle down and
make their future home.

The Old World will be Hungry.

Speaking Of the great privations be-
lieved to be in store for Europe from the
general losses of crops, the New York
Sun says:
What does this portend? Is it possible
to conceive the unutterable misery and
distress, disease, desolation and death
which famine of such proportions is
likely to bring IN it's train?
Is not Europe face to face with state
of want such as has never threatened 60
great a population since tie dawn OF
history?
Has man ever witnessed starvation up
on the scale which Is probable as the re-
suit of this continent-wide destruction of
crops?
On all the earth there is but one SUBJ
stitute possible for the deficient rye and
wheat; but one means of preventing, even
in part. the devastation threatened, and
that is by the use Of American maize,
sould we be SO fortunate as to harvest
full crop.
IT there are ships enough on the sea to
transport it, Europe will take not only
the 150.OOO,OOO bushels of wheat which
We may squeeze out. but hundreds OF
millions also of our corn. The distaste
for such food will disappear in the pres
ence OF famine, and we may command any
price for our products that We have the
heart to exact.

says of the fertility Of the soil and tn
length Of time it has been cultivated
applies in equal measure to all the coun
try in the celebrated James River valley
the great central section Of the state
where mixed farming can best be follow
ed. Mixed farming means the raising o.
cattle, horses. sheep, swine and poultr,
in addition to grain, and is the surest
and safest occupation in the world If in
telligently pursued. The Benson count.
writer says:
The east end of this valley il
known as East Antelope, and the first
settlers located in 1883. The first break.
ing done was in the spring of 1883 on the
claims of Benz. VanDuser and ex-senator
f. L. Yager, which was sown to oats IN
the spring of '64 and yielded 80 to sc
bushels per acre. There was large in
flux of settlers in 'S4 and considerable
acreage broken that year, and each sue.
ceedlng year large amount of sod has
been turned and now there are many
fine farms in a high state Of cultivation.
The average acreage In crop this year
per farm Is estimated at 200 acres.
For the past three years there has been
some stock raised. Prior to that time
almost exclusive attention was given to
growing No. hard. I confidently ex-
pect in year or two there will be con-
siderable stock owned by East Antelope
people as they are progressive set Of
men. They have some men of affairs
and once they turn their attention to
sheep husoandry there will be q test of
that industry that will prove to be an
eminent success in my opinion.
The crops of all kinds are grand, ex-
cept they are late. As good grain as
there is in the valley is on ground bearing
sixth and seventh crop. I am told that
az fine wheat as there is in the valley is
on the farm of ex-senator Yager that was
broken in 'S3 and has borne crop every
year since except one This I think
shows conclusively that Benson county
soil IS durable and with an occasional
summer following will not deteriorate.
There have been very few foreclosures
on claims in this locality-nor IN any
other locality in Antelope valley for that
matter-and in almost every instance
there has been little improvement on the
clam before proof was made and little
or none made since. The parties in most
cases have gone hence after making
proof. The claims so foreclosed on have
been bought by old residents and farmers
who in the natural evolution of their
business needed more land. Such
active conservative men for instance as
Baldwin, Fred Norton, Rhodes and ex-
County Commissioner G. L. Lindstrom.
East Antelope being adjacent to Ober-
on has every advantage of railway station,
church, school, elevator, stores, poatofice
lumber yard, blacksmith shop. ETC., etc.
