FARM AND GARDEN.
THE AMERICAN FARMER.
Is He Being Undermined bv the Agricul
furisfs of Other LANDAU

Is He Being Undermined by the Agricul-
turists of other Lands?
The American farmer is threatened
with worse danger than drought and
locusts- He is being undermined by
his fellow-workers in other countries.
Formerly the American agriculturist
had things all his own way and other
countries came a-begging for his wheat
and corn and live stock, but there has
been such astonishing progress lately
in other lands in the agricultural line
that he may be forced to discover that
he is not entirely essential TO the
carrying on of the worlds business.
Secretary Morton himself acknowl-
edges that there is danger of this and
that the department of agriculture is
watching with concern the strides in
produce and export made by other ma
tions. The wheat fields of Russia yield
crops that would seem fabulous to our
farmers, and the producers have the
advantage of a market close at hand.
When competition grows brisk our
farmers will find that their most seri-
Gus handicap is the cost of land trans
portation to the seaboard. Nothing
can ever alter this, for the Mississippi
river route lengthens the distance to
be traversed until the saving in freight
is more than lost. South America also
presents itself as a dangerous rival.
The navigable rivers which extend
hundreds OF miles inland enable farm
ers way in the interior to lead their
grain on ocean steamers which anchor
alongside their very fields. All the
far mer has to do is to sow his grain
and cut IL. He is not bothered by
freightage, he has no per cent to dee
duct from his profits and he knows no
railroad combine is liable to step in
and beggar him. II he raises enough
wheat he has a corner on all sales
Argentine and Australia are inter.
fering with our monopoly of the beef
and cattle exports. Australia, with
its immense capability for cattle-rais-
ing, is beginning to send dressed beef
to England, which formerly purchased
all this commodity from us, and Argen-
tine is shipping live cattle by the hun
bred thousand to the same market
Still, nothing can change the existence
of the fact that the land resources of
the United States are practically I'M
hmitable. Rivalry may develop char
acteristics in the American farmer to
his credit.-Chicago News
