San Diego Tobacco.

According to the San Diego Union,
the tobacco industry of that county is
looking up. 1t reports that experts
say that San Diego tobacco has pecu-
liar and delicious flavor not possessed
by tobacco grown anywhere else in the
world. A cigar manufacturer who is
using tobacco OF his own growing
claims that he has contract with a
San Francisco wholesale house to fur
nish $4,000 iive.cent cigars month,
and he has put local brand on the
market called "Del Coronado" which
sells at $40 per thousand He says:
Last June we began the manufacture
of cigars from our own tobacco OF the
crop of 1918, and had only one boy
in employ. We were compelled to dis
charge him in short time, but we
soon had him back, and now you see
the force at work-five men and the
boy, and to fulfill our contracts we
shall have to go on increasing our force
right along-there is no way out of it.
AS | have already said, the day of ex-
pertinent has passed and the building
up OF a substantial and lasting indus
try has begun.
This will be encouraging to others
who are in the business. There was
quite an area of tobacco grown last year
but the present year was short, owing
TO drouth and encouragement over the
curing.

The Future whea. supply.

A great deal of interest has been
shown in an address recently delivered
by Sir William Crookes, a prominent
English scientist, on the future wheat
supply of the world In this address
he called attention to the rapidly in
creasing use of wheat in the world.
In Scandinavia the use OF wheat per
person has increased 100 per cent in 20
years; in Austria Hungary so per cent;
in France, 90 per cent; in Belgium, so
per cent. The only European countries
in which the use of wheat per head
has decreased are Russia and Italy, end
possibly Turkey. In 1871 the wheat
bread eaters in the world numbered
80 900, 900; in 1881, 4i6, 900, 900; in
1891, 472, 900. 900, and at the present
time SIG, 000,O 900.
| Sir William Crookes takes up in
order the principal wheat-supplying
nations of the world. For thirty years
the United States has been the domi-
nant factor in the foreign supply of
wheat, exporting nc, less than 145, 900, :
900 bushels year. As the virgin land
has been absorbed in this country he
believes that within generation the
United States will cease to be an ex-
porting nation. Russia, which stands
next to the United Statesyas an export
er of wheat, is precarious source OF
supply. The population is increasing
more rapidly than that OF any other
country. The yield per acre is, how
ever, very low, and grain is now ex-
ported which ought to be consumed at
home.
The anticipations OF great wheat pro-
duction in Canada have not been real
lied, the increase in production in
Manitoba and the Northwest provinces
little more than offsetting the decrease
in Ontario and the eastern provinces.
In Australia the average yield of wheat
is so small as to be discouraging and
climatic conditions limit the wheat
area to small belt along the southern
shore. New Zealand is one of the best
wheat countries in the world, but the
farmers find other branches OF farming
more profitable than wheat growing.
There may be considerable expan-
sion OF wheat production in Argentina
and Uruguay, but the prospective sup
ply from those countries has been
greatly overrated.
From survey of the whole field il
is concluded that ii all available wheat
lands in the world are utilized, the in
creased production will be just enough
TO supply the increase in bread-eating
population in 1881, and that thereafter
there will not be enough wheat to sup
ply the demand. Sir William Crookes
also concludes thar the world has al.
ready reached conditions under which
the price Of wheat must tend to rise.

Seed Saving.

While we are sure that, in s'general
way, it is advisable for the garden er to
buy rather than grow the miscella-
neous assortment OF seeds he wants to
plant, because that certainly is the
safest, and, therefore, wisest course to
take, yet we know that there are excep.
tions, as has been pointed out from
time to time. We have cases in view
in which we would urge the utmost
care in saving and retaining seed.
Most of our improved varieties and
strains Of vegetables were chance seed
lings and chance discoveries. In the
house and market gardens all over the
land there are hundreds OF such i'm
proved vegetables of which the seeds
men and the general public know moth
ing. If You have really good thing
in this line, be sure to take good care
that you do not lose the seed. II it is a
vegetable that is liable to mix with
other varieties OF the same, be sure to
plant it alone by itself. In any case,
also, save some of the old seed over to
provide for the possibility that by some
mishap the crop should fail. And
don't keep good thing all for yourself.

you think, the world at large should

Origin Of Poultry.

The congress of ornithologists, meet
ing in Vienna, appointed a committee
to investigate the still uncertain origin
of domestic fowls. Fannie Field used
to wish she knew how Noah's wife got
her chickens in out of the shower. Ny
great ambition was to learn whether
hens were brought to America in the
Mayilower, or when, and Il don't know
now. While we do know that poultry
has been kept for domestic purposes
since long before the Christian era, yet
Columella, OF the first century, was
the earliest writer to give any descrip-
tion OF appearances. 1t is only within
the present century there has been
careful attention to breeds, and fifty
two years ago was held, in England,
the first poultry show. The late in
terstate fair at La Crosse saw / 200
birds on exhibition. Some fine fowls
which had been making the circuit of
fairs and steadily shown lost prizes
simply by being out OF condition.
