From the Toledo Blade.
The question Of competition In produc
ing grain for the consuming nations OF
Europe-the only portion Of the world
which does not produce its own supply OF
breadstuffs-is an important one for the
farmers Of the United States A few
years ago we had little competition
The farmers ~ the West found an ample
market la Europe for their surplus. and
that, too, at good prices. Wheat raising
paid, and year by year the unoccupled
lands were settled more and more, and a
greater area was put under cultivation
SO rapid WAS this process that our
production at last became greater than
the worlds demands. Almost at
the same time we found ne had
competitors. Argentine wheat began
TO come into the European market and
each year it's amount increased. Then
Australian and Irdlan wheat Joined In
the competition, and the too great pro
duetlon had It's legitimate effect--it re-
duoed the worlds price for wheat to a
point which brought little or no profit to
the American producers Is this csndi
tIon temporary. or will &c bs pernanent2
Are the graiu fields OF the United States
to be the chief source OF the European
supply. OF must our farmers turn their
attention to other crops Unfortunately
the Indications are that present oondi
tions will not change. We muet con

the vast increase In ocean tonnage and

Croft Escapes.

Sheriff Cassidy took VIM. Croft,
charged with murder to English on
Monday last, for trial. He had
taken a change Of velue from Du-
bois county. He filed an affidavit
there and secured a continuance OF
his trial till the next term Of court,
and Crawford county having no
Jail, he was remanded to Sheriff
Cassidy for safe keeping in The Du-
bois county Jail. On the way back
a brother Of Croft, from Louisville,
was permitted to ride in the seat in
the car with him from English,
while the Sheriff sat behind them.
As the train slowed up at the Y at
Huntingburg the prisoner jumped
of with handcuff's on, and as soon
as the train could be stopped the
Sheriff got off after him, but this
gave him a good distance the start,
and the Sheriff never got sight OF
him. He called to his aid a posse
to pursue him, and the neighborhood
was aroused, but he had made his
escape good. 1t is supposed he and
his brother had arranged the escape
on the way down from English, and
possibly filed off his handouts, too,
while the train was in motion. Ii
is also rumored that another brother
was waiting for him near the "Y. "
Sheriff Cassidy obtained Carriers

tice of his escape was telegraphed
to police officers, and it is hoped ht
may yet be arrested. The Sheriff
