The U. S. department of agriculture
has just issued bulletin in the course
of wheat production and expectation in
the United States, Canada, Argentina,
Uruguay, Russia and British India
from 1880 to 1896. The bulletin is quite
lengthy document, full of valuable
information. 1t contains the following:
1.-THE crop year 1891 was an unusual
one in several of the wheat-growing
countries. Coincident with the largest
wheat production ever recorded for the
United States there was partial or to-
tai failure throughout much of Europe.
The Russian crop was exceedingly
light and resulted the following year in
greatly diminished exports. Since this
temporary setback, however, Russia
has more than regained the lost ground,
and the last few years have witnessed
rapid growth in expectation as well
as production Canada, like the Unit
ed States, produced her largest crop in
1891. Her net exports increased in the
! fiscal years 1892, 1898 and 1894, but
have since declined. The exports of
wheat from British India reached their
maximum in 1912, the years subse-
quent showing falling off which has
greatly lessened India's Importance as
a contributor to the world s wheat sup
ply. Her shipments during the past
year 1S95-1S96) amounted to only
100000 bushels, as against 100000
bushels in 1912. In Argentina and
Uruguay the progress made in wheat
raising during the last few years has
been almost phenomenal. The Argen-
tine crop increased from 100000
bushels in 1891 to 75,OOO,OOO bushels in
1895, and during the same period the
remarkable gain of from 100000 to
40, 900 bushels wheat and four
was made in expectation. Uruguay's
crop, which amounted to less than
{, 100000 in 1891, advanced with such
rapidity that in 1895 it was returned at
about 100000 bushels. In 1891 the
imports into Uruguay exceeded the ex-
ports, but 1894, the latest year for which
the trade returns are available, shows
an excess of nearly 100000 bushels
wheat and -four in favor of the ex-
ports.

The Old Town Contested Election


MAYOR HARTwELL RETAINS THE OFFICE.
In the Supreme Court at Bangor April
10th, Judge Emery presiding, the Old Town
contested mayoralty case was decided by
the dismissal, without costs, of the bill iii
equity brought by Edgar B. Weeks, Repub-
lican candidate, asking that Eben T. Hart
well be compelled to vacate the office and
that he, Weeks, be installed therein. By the
count Hartwel! had majority Of one vote
and according to the decision the count
stands. Judge Emery said that it was a
grave question whether it was open to either
side to ask the court to recount the vote.
The law is now indefinite as to a recount by
court.
Judge Emery stated his views to be, that
a candidate who means to contest an election
must be present at the polls by himself or
his friends, and then and there make pro-
test to the counting or rejection of particu-
lar ballots, so that if he wishes to contest
the matter in court, he can come into court
with definite statement of his grounds of
complaint. The court further stated that
in his opinion the sealed package must be
preserved with unbroken seals, to be opened
only by the court or its order.

''uudSon Mass, April !. The Assabet

Mass The Republican leaders in 1892
predicted just such misfortunes as the in
evitable result of Democratic 'staritf re-
form, while the Democrats declared that
their free trade program would give our
people more work instead of less, greatly
reduce the cost of living and increase
wages in the mills, and particularly in the
WOODEN factories of New England? The
people lave now learned to their cost
which side told the truth, and wherever
elections are held they are repudiating
Democracy and all it's works.
The time is fast approacning-in fact is
right here, when the annual repairs will
be made on our roads. While in some

left them. Turf, Farm and Home.
This is the cry everywhere, and no
doubt continued agitation will eventually
effect a reform. The present method of
repairing roads is wasteful and inefficient.
No business man would pay over % per
cent. of the cost of much of the work
done for similar work on his own premi-
SEES; and when, as in many cases, the work
is badly done, the whole amount expended
by the town is practically thrown away.
With intelligent direction and careful ex-
penditure, far better results could be OBJ
tanned at less cost. This can only be
brought about by divorcing the care and
repair of roads from politics and rings.
State control is perhaps the only way in
which this can be accomplished. This
would call for a thoroughly qualified
State engineer with such subordinates as
were required; and where work of any
magnitude is to be done it should be
under contract with the lowest respon-
sble bidder, with proper inspection. elm
