THE PRICE OF wHKAr.

TIA, Garfield County, Jan. IL. 1894
To THE EDITOR: Is the price of wheat In
Liverpool at present t5s ID to IS 5d) as
high as the price offered at any time dur
ing previous years " hen wheat sold in this
state at from 40 cents TO IS cents per
bushel? Does the price at which wheat
exported from the United States is sold in
Liverpool govern the price paid for all the
wheat sold 10 the United States?
A READER
1.-THE price of wheat in Liverpool has not
been 90 low in 100 years e. II Is now. The
price paid in England il fixed by the
worlds grain supply. If tie price in Eng
land Is high, then it will DO high in tho
United States. The low price of wheat is
due TO enormous crops all over the world.
The area planted to wheat increases every
year. In the United States the limit has
been reached, but not so in South America,
Africa and Canada The wheat area will
probably decrease little this year In the
United States. In parts of this state
wheat fields are being converted into
orchards and hop yards. There is also a
movement to ralsc sugar beets. The farm
ers see that wheat is not likely soon to
bring good price, because the waste
places of the world are being utilized as
wheat land. Africa is being colonized;
wheat grows in South America where wild
cattle used TO roam. and Canada has mis-
sionaries In Europe who ara Offering
wheat farms free to immigrants. Wheat
Is cheap for the same reason that silver is
cheap-because there is enormous pro-
duction. The wheat farmers will after a
time do what the cotton planters of the
South are doing-dIversify their crops.l

Students will of their own accord enroll
themselves as boarders for the home life
