OLIVER DALRYMPLE.

1.-THE greatest wheat farmer in America
Thirty years ago, when l commenced
growing wheat, the price in New York
was $3.50, 81 .25 in Chicago, and 81 on the
Mississippi river. We are now striking
a range of prices 40 to 80 cents lower.
The reduction has been brought about
by the opening of old and new countries
to the great markets of the world by
means Of railroads; by the introduction
of improved machinery; by the return
ing of the world more and more, from
year to year. to gold basis; by throw
ing the product into the great centers;
ana by the construction of immense
storage houses, which show great stocks
at ali times.
Our. chief competitors in the British
market are Russia and South America,
while india and Australia compete in a
subordinate degree. In all those coun-
tries the American producer comes into
rivalry, as lie places his surplus i'll the
British market, with the 10, 20, so and
Accent laborer of the countries named.
The day of high-prced wheat,as per-
manent thing, has passed by. Nothing
but all exceptional and Worldwide loss
of crops can give higher-priced wheat
again for any length of time. When
wheat struck 30 cents in Chicago in
1894 it probably struck bedrock; be-
cause it reached the same price per
pound, practically, as corn, oats and
barley, and thus went into the great
feed bin of the world, which abSorbs
ten bushels for live stock where one
only is consumed when eaten by tn C
human family. Whenever wheat de-
clines to 40 cents in the country west of
the Mississippi river, being superior to
any other grain for animal food, it will
go to market OIL foot, as corn has done
for the last quarter Of century.
With reference to diversified farming,
l will say that the best of farming in
the best of wheat countries will not
justify the wheat grower in seeding
more than two-thlrds Of his land in any
one year in wheat. The other one
third should be rested in summer fallow
or its equivalent. Thus. no part of the
farm will be taxed with more than two
wheat crops in succession. 1t is an
open question among the best farm
ers how the one-third of land thus left
out should be treated to restore and
keep up its fertility and clean it from
weeds. Some good farmers cultivate
this third with two summer fallowings
and total rest. Some SOW millet at the
close of seed-time and pillow under the
millet before it heads out. Some put in
a crop Of timothy, and cut and plow
early in July. Some cultivate thorough
ly in corn Or potatoes. All are good
systems, but would give the prefer
ence to the millet treatment.
No doubt tho ultimate destiny of ali
kinds of farming is the diversified
plan. BY that mean the raising of all
kinds of live stock and the cultivation
of all crops suitable to ones latitude;
and the sooner this view of the question
is understood aud adopted by the farm
ers of the Northwest. the better their
interest will he promoted individually
and collectively.
The cheap and efficient creamery sep
sratur has increased the butter product

and has promoted its manufacture with
remarkable facility and success. If
present prices can be maintained, this
branch will become an important factor
in diversified farming.
The original sources of wealth are the
fields, the forests and the mines. The
fields have taken and will retain the
precedence. The facts that. in this
great commercial and monetary crisis,
the country is in better condition than
the city: that the farm is class OF prop
erty which no financial cyclone can
sweep away in day, and that the cul
tivator Of the soil, however humble or
limited in his means, will remain his
own master, will always have employs
ment, and can always say. SO far as his
family is concerned, Here is work and
bread for all'-so long as these things
are true will the farm be known as
"reaP' estate, as against the fictitious
estate. and SO long will it be appre-
ciated by the American people, and be
the sheet anchor Of our great population
and business.
The history of this country has DEM
onstrated that period of hard times
comes once in about twenty years, and
lasts for four or five years. While farm
lands and farm products have sympa-
thized with the great shrinkage in
values, their shrinkage has been less
than that in the value Of bonds, stocks,
merchandise. etc. In this struggle of
1.-The survival of the fittest" the agri-
cuIturlst of our country should content
himself and congratulate himself upon
the staying qualities of his business
and his PROPERTY.

crop, at present prices, will result in a
loss, instead of a profit, to the pro-
ducers.
On the other hand, if it is grown on
farm with other crops and with stock,
so that the farmers time can be COM
pletely utilized where, say, only one
quarter OF the value of the farmers
services, interest and depreciation, etc,
is chargeable to the wheat crop, and the
land is IN such good condition, re-
Sulting from rotation of crops, fertilza-
ton and superior cultivation, as TO pro-
duce thirty bushels per acre-under
such conditions wheat crop at pres
ent prices is profitable. Under mixed
system of agriculture, it does not cost
so much to cultivate an acre as on
wheat speciality farm, for the reason
that the different varieties Of crops are
not planted or harvested at the same
period of the season. and thus the farm
er utilities more of his own labor and
the labor of his teams. and the land will
produce more wheat per acre. because,
by keeping stock and rotating the
crops, the lands are both rested" and
fertilized.
The history of agriculture proves that
in the long run those sections produce
the most profit where the farms are
small and produce variety Of crops
and live stock. The history of the
southern counties of this state also
proves this theory. a most reliable
farmer living in GOOdhue county told
me 4 few days since that last year he
raised thirty bushels OF wheat per acre
on land that few years ago failed to
produce six bushels per acre. This
wonderful transformation was brought
about by few years Of diversified
farming. | asked HIN if his ncighDOrS
have had the same experience. and he
said they have. His crOps Of oats, bars
ley and flax Were correspondingly large,
and his dairy was equally profitable.
The profit in wheat raising depends
upon the yield per acre, the cost OF
cultivation being substantially the
same If the yield is ten or thirty bushels
per acre. About 2J0 years ago the soil
Of England had become so exhausted by
exclusive wheat farming that the aver
age crop Of wheat was only SIX bushels
per acre. By system of mixed farm
ing and by fertilization the average has
been raised and maintained for CEN
fury or more at about forty bushels per
acre.
The farmers of GoOdhue county are
estimated to have over S1,500,00J de-
posted in banks, accumulated by
diversified farming In short, DIVERSE
fed farming, wherever practiced, has
increased the yield per acre. the value

l see no encouragement to hope for
materially larger prices for wheat. 1t
is possible for wheat to drop to a lower
price. Even at present, or at yet lower
prices, many of our farmers of the
Northwest will find wheat profitable
crop to use in rotation with other grain
crops. and especially with grass and
annual forage crops. During recent
trip through several Atlantic and Mid
die states | observed that much winter
wheat had been sown. If these farmers
will continue raising wheat on their
higher priced, leaner lands, where they
must use commercial fertilizers, we
may rest assured that the farmers of.
the Northwest are not going to abandon
wheat. True. the wheat will be mostly
raised by the general farmer. who finds
that it fits in his rotations. and by
