YIELD IN THREE STATES.
Bst1nate of the Wheat Harvest In
Minnesota AID the Dakotas.

A1nAe0Ot0 aA0 the Oak0t0o.
Chicago. Aug. 22.-The Orange Judd
Farmer this week publishes the re-
suit of a special Investigation covering
the wheat crop in $50 counties in Min
nesota and the two Dakotas. Tho
crop was harvested ten days or two
weeks earlier than usual, and grain Is
heavy, but with some complaint of
quality from smut and rain while in
shock. Threshing is in progress and
estimates of yield covering nearly so
per cent Of the wheat area of the three
states show a rat ; considerably in ex-
cess Of what the previous condition
indicated.
In Minnesota the best yields are In
the northwest, eastern and southern
counties. ranging from 20 bushels in
Rice to % in lie Sueur. but there are
few counties of smaller yields. like
Cottonwood, at 10. The average for
the state is 1S bushels.
The best yields In North Dakota are
In the Red river valley, running from
10 in Traill to 26 in Cavalier, but they
are smaller in the Jim river valley, as
shown by II bushels in Dickey to 13
In Barnes. The state averages 17.3.
In South Dakota the heavy yields
are In the southwest us explained by
1S bushels in Clay. 20 in Lake and 25
In Union. but in the Jim river country,
where the bulk Of the crop is raised,
the rate of yield is low. from 6 bushels
In Hand. Clark, Aurora, Bowdle and 8
In davidson. The state average is 12
bushels.
The state estimates are declared to
be liberal and on the basis Of the
acreage estimated in June, which was
nearly a million acres in excess Of
that Of any other recorded authority,
and 500,OOO greater than the official es-
timate for the great crop of 1891. The
crop by states would be: Minnesota,
54,OOO.OOO; North Dakota. 5O,OOO.O 900;
South Dakota, $4,000, 600. 1t is claimed
that this is Il very liberal showing,
and that there is no warrant what
ever for estimates which have been
current, crediting the states with 16O,-
100000 bushels and more.

SAVE THE PLANT room.

We regret the necessity which urges
our agricultural exchanges to devote so
much space to the consideration of fer
tilizers. We have one before us now,
which has more space given to this SUBJ
ject than all other agricultural topics.
In the southwest up to the present date
only a small portion of the land requires
will stand steady cropping for fifty years
more before any manure is required
Texas Farm and Ranch.
The above clipping l want to make
the basis of what / have to say. 1t is
taken from good and progressive paper,
but the idea advanced in the paragraph
IS not a progressive one by any menas
There is a good reason-nlore than one
of them-why the agricultural papers are
deVoting so much space to fertilizers
lately. One of them is because the coun-
more by the frightful waste of fertilizing
material. The assertion that Texas soil
will stand fifty years of cropping before
any manure is required, is not a good ex-
cuse for the present owner to go on
robbing the soil of its plant food and re-
ducing it to barrenness for those who
come after. 1t is not good farming, good
economy nor good policy to grow crop af-
ter crop on a given piece of land without
returning to it any elements of fertility
until it refuse to grow crops any longer
1t is because naturally fertile fields in
the north and west have been cropped I'M
til their fertility was exhausted that the
farmers of this country are paying mil
lions of dollars for commercitl fertilizers
every year.
If those who first began tilling those
fertile fields had taken pains to MAIN
tain the fertility, as good farmers
should. there would never have arisen
any necessity for the use of commercial
fertilizers. 4 radical system of farm
ing will never exhaust the soil and it is
entirely within the bounds of possibility
to improve a rundown farm without the
use of commercial fertilizers, but it is a
work of years to accomplish this, while
with commercial fertilizers 1t can be done
in a short time, though at a greater cost
The immense amount of money spent
for commercial fertilizers is not wasted
by any means. for it is profitable to use
them, and necessary also, but if the soil
had been properly used in the first place
this necessity would never have arisen.
Those who need commercial fertilizers
should not hesitate to use them, and
those who do not need them should
make every effort to conduct their bust
ness so they may never need them.
1t is throwing money away to allow
the fertilizers that are made on every
farm go to waste because the land will
produce good crops without them. A rot
