THE EAR AT WHATCOM.

The exhibition of the Northwest Agri-
cultural-Industrial Association will open
at whatcom on September % and con-
it will be the most successful fair ever
held in Whatcom county, If not in the
state. The premium list Is large, prizes
having been offered for entries in eighteen
different departments. While the exhibit
ton is restricted to the products Of What
varied resources of this Northwest section
OF the state are SO well known that there
can be no doubt the display will DO inter-
esting and comprehensive. Aside from
horses, cattle. sheep and hogs, the exhib-
It's In the departments Of poultry. dairy
ing. fruit. forestry, farm products and
minerals ought to be especially good.
The holding OF the fair is good sign.
1t is an indication that times are getting
better. that people are freeing themselves
from the cares. worries and dependency
which for several years past have been
overwhelming them, and that we are be-
ginning to have the old order of things
again. AS to the utility of these exhibi-
tlons there can DO no doubt. Competition
for prizes always results in the bringing
out OF the best there is. and a generous
rivalry has a tendency TO spur people on
and furnishes an incentive to make a cred
liable showing such as could be obtained
in no other way. Fairs are in n way ed
ucators. While they are interesting to tho
general spectator, they probably serve a
more useful purpose In bringing men to-
gether TO see what Improvements and ad-
vances have been made in agriculture and
Industrial pursuits. and the information
obtained is always of value and can be
made of practical use.

formidable competition from the jute en-

Dundee, and although the Improvement in
American trade has been noticeable this
year. is still menacing the great industry
OF the town with destruction. The manu-
facturers in India are constantly charging
their investments, introducing higher
grades OF goods and competing boldly for
the jute trade of the world. This tremen-
dous pressure OF competition from cheap
labor country is imperiling the prosperity
of weii-organized industry and creating
a general feeling OF insecurity.
The condition is serious, because IL
seems as IL this Is one of tho industries as
TO which we cannot well protect ourselves
against If our farmers are to enter into
competition with the grain producers OF
Russia, India and Argentine, who will. OF
course. avail themselves OF the cheap jute
bags OF Oriental manufacture. Protection
is a means to an end, the good of the
greatest number of our own people. and

articles which we are disqualified by our
need for higher wages from producing at

SEATTLE, WEDNESDAY, AUG. ss
THE sITppIY OF WHEAT.

The estimate OF the wheat crop OF the
United States for this year is now put at
4oo.oiT. 900 bushels. This is much less than
II has usually been during the past twenty
years. and II has only been materially less
in four years. namely. 1875, when 1t was
500. los. 700 bushels: in 1876. when 1t was
EOS. 1ss. 900: 1877. when 1T was 2ss,s5s.5oo, and
1856. when st was s57.li2.ooo.
1t Is considerably less than In 1892. when
the actual yield was GIL. $4,000. and even
less than In 1893. when 1t was 5i5.9f9.0oo.
These figures although given for the
fiscal year ending June 30. embrace the
production only to December 81, or the
preceding year.
IL is a singular fact that In 1894. which
was the lowest production for seven years.
the percentage OF export was the greatest
in twenty years, reaching 4i.47. although
IN 1895. when our production was over so
per cent. more. we exported only 36.sS per
cent.
Our home consumption last year was
only %. sis SOS. less than 1t has been for
eighteen years; but the average is over
so. Co., 900, so that the prospect is we will
have for export 100. 600. 600. or less than half
that of 1S92 and 1896. ana ei.2sa,lea less than
last year.
So far as the United States Is concerned.
therefore. the outlook for the farmer is
good. But we are met by the enormous
production OF Russia, which has reached
A5.o5s.ooo bushels. and for the first time in
many years. IL memory may he depended
upon. the United States takes second place
in volume of production. In 1S9O-9l Russia
produced only lSs. 30. 900 bushels to our 85a.-
coaooo. This enormous increase is due TO
the opening up OF Siberia. which. with its
new lands is doing for Russia what tho
opening zip of Iowa and Minnesota did for
the United States.
In tho dispatch published on Monday in
the Post-Intellgencer the production Of
franee is putat st.S7s, osa. but that is prob
ably an error. IL can hardly have fallen
80 low. The production OF Argentine and
Chile is doubled. hue most OF the other
estimates are below the average.
OF course. in making a comparison 1t
must he remembered that for past years
the actual production Is given. while for
this year we are depending upon esti-
mates which must be largely the result OF
guess work
