SOUND WHEAT MARKET.

One of the gratifying conditions
of the present wheat market is
that it is not in any extensive
sense a speculative market. Spec
ulators are operating IN both
sides of the market trying to make
as much money out of it as posi-
BILE, but wheat has been selling in
the close neighborhood of 80 cents
a bushel because foreign importers
wanted 1t enough to be willing to
pay that price for it rather than
to allow their stocks to be further
depleted. Wheat is high, not be-
cause bulls and bears are operating
for a rise, but because we have
wheat which our neighbors over
the water want.
The high rates are based upon a
better knowledge of the wheat
supply than could have been gath
cred earlier. The wheat of the
North American continent and of
the greater part of Europe is al
practically harvested now, and the
condition Of the crop in the prin-
cipal wheat. growing countries is
definitely known. 1t has not all
been threshed, but a sufficient
amount has been threshed to fur
nish a fair test as to the yield and
quality. And those whose bust
ness it is to inform themselves on
the wheat situation are able now
to make their estimates intelli-
gently.
Briefly stated, the situation is
that the American crop will ex-
coed 500, 900, 900 bushels, while
the crops III other countries are
below the average andi what is
quite as much to the point, the
short crops of this year follow
short crops a year ago. The
stock of wheat in sight is a good
many millions of bushels less than
it was a year ago. The worlds
surplus of wheat is all in Ameri-
can barns, granaries and elevators,
and the world wants all we have
to spare. This means good prices
until a new crop year has changed
market conditions.
How much this means in the
way Of enhanced prosperity to the
American people cannot be def
niteIy stated as yet, but the differ
ence in the price of wheat now
and one year ago means at least
1928, 600, 900 more money to the
wheat farmers, eve though the
crops were no greater than last
year, But a high price for wheat
means higher prices for corn, pro-
visions and many other farm pro
ducts, so that the increased value
of the wheat crop will constitute
only one, though a very impor-
tant item of the swelling receipts
OF the American farmers.
While accepting the years un~
usual prosperity thankfully
American farmers should not re-
peat the mistake of former years
IN supposing the present high
price Of wheat permanent, and
Increase their acreage OF wheat
to the neglect of other crops.
The. temptation to do this is a
great one, but as a rule it should
be resisted, for an overproduc>
ton of wheat will send prices
tumbling again. American far
mers should diversity their crops
to a greater extent next year
than they did this. By following
this wise course they will be
fairly prosperous next year. even
though there should be good
crops of wheat abroad.

Shortage in the Beef supply.

a paper devoted to the cattle inter
est says that there will be decrease
of twenty per cent. in the number of
cattle marketed this year
The worst of the report as to the
scarcity of cattle this year is that it
indicates IL more serious scarcity next
year and for succeeding years, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Not only is there
ii shortage of cattle fit for the market
this year, but the 2-year-olds, the year
lings and the calves are less numerous
owing to several causes. The low price
of cattle has discouraged production.
Hard times and shortage of feed. Sc
we're winters and the uncertainty of
prices at the ranches have contributed
to paralyze the cattle industry.
1t will, therefore, be two or three. or
possibly four yeaas before there will
he full supply of cattle again for the
markets. Beef cattle are "A slow growth.
Iii ii shortage occurs it cannot be
ended i'll IL single year. Time must be
given for the cattle to mature to the
beef stage. This requires three or four
years.
In this respect Il short cattle crop
differs from "a short hog or sheep crop.
Hogs and sheep come to maturity in Il
single year. They are like grain crops.
a shortage and high prices one year
excite increased production and the
supply is again abundant. But as Ia
cattle, when a shortage is ascertainee!
IL term OF years is necessary to supply
the deficiency. So we mustapprehenl
high prices for beef perhaps for more
than II year or two in the future

In South Dakota the republicans
have elected five out of the eight re-
publican judges, the populists elect
two and the democrats one. The Black
Hills circuits both elect the populists.
Joe Moore, of Lead, is elected by about
300 majority. VanWyck, the Tammany
candidate for Mayor of Greater New
York, was an easy victor, being elected
by about $1,000 plurality, Low being
second and Tracy third.
Ohio is very doubtful, with the chan.
ces favorable to a republican victory
on the state ticket, and the legislature
possibly democratic.
Iowa went republican by about 3d.

One of our neighbors, Uncle Nate, as

is, until Uncle Nate was nearly wild.
One night he lay awake, and, as he
said, stood it just as long as he could,
when he got up, and, taking down the
old gun that was loaded with fos
charge, he went to the back door, and,
drawing bead on the rock, which he
could dimly see i'll the faint starlight,
blazcd away. Then, in the pleasing
consciousness of Il good deed we'll done,
he again sought his couch.
In the morning his first care was tc
reload the old gun, as there was no tell
ing when it would be needed. Ate,
this task was finished he started for the
back yard to gloat over the mangled re.
mains Of his tormentor, but what were
