Concerning the Indians.

The latest statistics as to the Indians of the
United States have spoiled many fine essays,
and some tolerably good poetry. The Indians,
to use the language of an agent, shave just
about stopped dying out" In fact. they are
about as numerous as they were twenty
years ago, though some authorities maintain
that this only seems so because the count is
far more accurate since all the wild tribes
have been located on reservations. AT any
rate it is certain that the decrease is much
less than was supposed, and probable that
several of the superior tribes are increasing.

Willow With a Pedigree.

When Alexander Pope visited the Orient
nearly two centuries ago, he obtained slip
of one of the willows beside the waters of
Babylon, whereon the children of Israel hung
their harps in the days of captivity. Plant
ing the wand upon his return to England, he
secured thrifty tree in time. From this
latter Martha Washington procured twig,
which it is said she brought to Arlington
Heights, with the same results. And now a
tree grown from slip taken from hers has
just been planted in the Indiana State-house

The Corn Crop.

The statistical returns of the depart
ment of agriculture for November make
the corn crop of the largest in volume,
with rate of yield slightly above the
average-twenty-six bushels per acre.
The condition has not been high at any
period of It's growth, but it has been
quite uniform, with no record of more
than 10 per cent of disabilities from all
causes. The planting was late and ir-
regular in many places, the growth tar
dy and uneven, and fears of drowth or
floods or frosts very generally felt in the
latter part of the season. Storms in
some sections threatened loss which
minimized; drouth in others checked
the growth, which was stimulated again
by the opportune season. Frost made
early threats of disasters and then de-
ayed its appearance through Septem-
Der, which was warm and forcing, dry
ing out soggy corn and shriveling i'm
mature grOwths The result is we'll
ripened crop, somewhat variable in
quality, with moderate proportion OF
chatfy, untitled and immature ears. The
eastern and western ends of the corn
belt, Ohio. Iowa and Nebraska, gave a
SOIIIc"I I1db UCGtCl y AClO IlI1h 1AoA 0sAAN
Kansas, the lower levels of the great
corn belt suffering more from the
threatened drouth than the higher ele-
vations.
The higher rate of yield as estimated
appears in New England, from 80 to 4U
bushels per acre. In the south range II
is from IL in Florida to % in Maryland,
while in the surplus corn states the fig
ures are: Ohio, 33.7; Illinois, 3l.2;
Iowa 3O.7; Missouri, 29.9; Kansas, 26. 4;
Nebraska, 1868.
Frost in August wrought some injury
in the northwest. Much of the crop is
yet in shock. and the condition and rate
of yield may be somewhat better known
after gathering and marketing. Yet it
is evident that the product will not
make less than 100000, or 81 bushels
per unit of population
The October condition ofpOtatOes has
only been eqUaled once since 1880, and
the average yield, according to these
preliminary estimates, has not been
surpassed in the past ten years. 1t av-
erages 939 bushels per acLe. Warm
weather in September dried out the soil
and checked the inclpient potato rot.
which was threatened after the August
rains.
Hay has made nearly an average
yield, and is of medlnm quality.
The tobacco product is somewhat
above the average, and will fully meet

the past year the shy pecial agents OF the
department charged with introducing
Indian corn and its products TO the at-
tention of Europeans as an economic
and nutritious substitute for other cereal
foods. and highly commends the work
already done in this direction. The
secretary deems it the duty of his de-
partment to keep the farmer fully in
formed of the market value of his ware,
in order that he may know before he
markets his goods just what their value
is.
He congratulates the country upon
hs success of the experiments in the
extraction of sugar from sorghum
There seems to be no reason, he says,
why We should not look forward With
confidence to the dav when the 81, ,OOO,-
600 paid to foreign producers for sugar
should not be turned into the pockets OF
our own people"
In all our efforts toward diversifving
our crops climatic conditions are TO
play an important part, and in this con-
nection he declares his conviction of the
Importance and value to the agricultu-
raj interests of the transfer to this de-
partment of the weather bureau. He
takes occasion to highly commend the
selection by the president of Prof. Har-
rington as the chief of the bureau.
The secretary notes with satisfaction
the general and growing interest shown
by all classes in this country in the
cause of agriculture and the work of his
department. He expresses desire for
closer cooperation between the various
educational forces in the country for
the advancement OF practical agricul-
ture and urges that the slender thread
connecting the department with the ag-
ricultral colleges and stations be
strengthened, without in any way linn
iting the Independent action OF these
institutions. He refers TO the repre-
sentation of the department at the
Munich congress of meteorologists by
Professor Harrington. He concludes
by suggesting, as these international
congresses are biennial and their next
meeting will consequently occur in
1893, it would be highly desirable If
arrangement were made by which their
next meeting should take place in this
country on the occasion of the Column
bian fair.

Sorghum Sugar.

That the manufacture of sugar from
sorghum cane is destained to become a
great industry in the United States, and
especially Kansas, is admitted by even
those most directlyIinterested in sugar
making from cane. The Louisiana
Planter. the great sugar journal of the
south, has this to say in reference 10
the results obtained by the new alco-
holic process of manufacture:
''In the sorghum sugar manufacture
marked progress has been made, as is
shown by reviewing its history. In the
fifties, sorghum was extolled as sugar
producing plant, but no sugar of ac-
count was made. In the sixties and in
the seventies sorghum was simply q
syrup-producing plant In the eighties,
thirty to forty pounds of sugar per ton
of cane were made, resulting in Decun-
iary losses. In the nineties, $50
pounds OF first sugar per ton Of
cane has been easily obtain
able, and allowing for further increase
in yield which may be reasonably eX-
pected from obvious improvements in
the manufacture and from greater ex-
perience, it Is confidently expected that
the nineties will show that 200 pounds
of first sugar can be obtained hhfrom .
ton of cleaned sorghum cane.
IA yield of $50 pounds OF first sugar
admits the establishment of an import
ant industry on safe basis. There are
many millions of acres of land in the
southwest whose soil and climate are
admirably fitted to produce sorghum
cane containing 246 pounds of sugar in
a ton of trimmed cane, that is cane
cleaned of leaves ami seed, and of this
246 pounds of sugar, $50 pounds is
known to be easily obtalnable SO that
with the second sugar the total
yield will not fall much short of
200 pounds of sugar per ton OF clean
cane. The cultivation of sorghum il
much easier and less expensive, in the
southwest, than the cultivation OF sugar
cane or OF sugar beets, the cost of sor-
ghum cane being 81. % to $3.50 per ton.
while the cost of sugar beets reaches
81. 90 to $500 per ton for the same per
centage OF sugar
And now sorgum sugar manufacture
having the diffusing process and the al
cohol process. enters new era, an era
of success. 1t has now business basis
instead of theoretical basis"
