THE WORLDS WHEAT FIELDS,


that assumption as q demonstrated
fact, they encouraged farmers to hope
for an early and a permanent rise In
prices of wheat. But these we'll mean
ing persons had not measured the ex'
tent of the worlds wheat fields. Our
American prophets have not consid'
cred q fact that 1t would seem every
Well-informed man ought to know,
that within the boundaries of the
United States not more than One-hslf
the wheat producing lands are in cult
Vstion; nor have they taken into &C.
count the fact that the lands which
are now producing wheat do not yield
more than one.hslf of what they could
be made to yield by careful tilth.
Nor have these economists gone
across the border into that vast wheat
region extending 1900 miles north and
northwest from Lake Superior If a
circle were drawn around the city of
Duluth extending out far enough to
take in that country, the outer line
would include the States of Oregon
and Washington on the West, New
foundlsnd on the East and skim the
ocean 500 miles outsideUf New York,
passing southwark of Texas to the
Pacific west Of northern California.
Nor have these enthusiastic econo-
mists estimated the area of wheat lands
in South America, Australasia and
India. And still more, they have
overlooked the existence of vast tracts
Of good wheat land In Russia. Con
cerning Russian possibilities along sg
ricultural lines, Baron NordenskjOld, q
distinguished explorer, has recently
published some useful information.
We are indebted to the New York
Journal of Commerce for q synopsis
of the discoveries.
The natural qualities of Siberia, he
says, are essentially the same ss those
of America. In the north, the coun-
try is covered by immense deserts,
without forests, where it Is so cold as
to forever exclude cultivation. South
Of these deserts, about on 80 degrees
latitude, there is an enormous belt Of
forests, the greatest In the world,
reaching with few Interruptions from
the Ural mountains to the coast Of the
Pacific ocean, q length of $500 miles,
with a width of about sixty-iVe miles.
South of this forest belt up to about so
degrees latitude are the great Siberian
plains, In the summer covered with a
splendCr of flowers, fora with some
of the most magnificent varieties that
can be imagined, many of them the
pride of the lighthouses in the West.
These flowers grow in black soil Of un-
surpassed fertility, at comparatively
small expense. This soil, one year
after another, could produce immense
crops of maize, rice and wheat, the ex-
port of which can be effected through
the great waterways Of the rivers
Irish, Oh, Jenessey, Lena, and Anuir,
with their numerous branches, which
through canals built by the Russian
government sreabrOught in connection
with each other.
Besides these waterways, which will
be useful for only exports in the sum-
mer time, the Russian government is
building a railroad across Siberia.

Majestic cites have arisen on. Of the
