An Amusing Incident.
Secretary Morton called my attention
to somewhat iudicrous incident which
occurred some time ago In the department
of agriculture The secretary was exceed
ingly anxious to know as nearly as posi-
bio the amount Of probable crop of wheat
IN the Argentine Republic this year and
detailed one of bis men to look the matter
up. He was instructed to study the for
cign reports, 10 seek information from con

The Wheat Kingdom.
at ia fact" said Secretary Morton
"tl,at in every month Of tho year wheat
crop Is harvested somewhere On tho face
of this fruitful earth Of ours. We begin
in June out in California, in Oregon and
in the southern states where they have
wheat In that month also tho crop is
harvested in south Russia. in Turkey, IN
Rotrnania, bulgaria and the south OF
France. In July and August tho great
wheat crop of the northern states OF ouI
country is harvested, and mt tho same
time the farmers of the south of England,
the major part Of Franco, Germany, Ans
tria, Switzerland, Holland, Poland, Den
mark and belgium rake in their yield In
September and October there Is wheat
harvest in the north Of England and scot
land, in Sweden and northern iusSia. In
November they cut their wheat in south
Africa, Peru and northern Australia; il
December, in tho southern part of Austria
lia, in Chile and tho La Plata country IN
January II Is harvested IN Now zealand,
the Argentine and remaining countries al
South America; in February and March,
in India and Egypt. In April they have
their harvest in Persia syria, Asia Minor
and Cyprus, and May is the harvest month
in China, Japan, central ASIA Algeria
and Marocco. So, you see, there Is probably
not day in tho whole year in which wheat
is not being harvested somewhere, -

tho navy, embracing two rear admirals at
$4,000 a year each, 30 rear admirais at
