aiding the ground to stand long
drought without seriously affecting the
roots of the wheat plant.
1t can be safely stated that an aver
age of favorable seasons may be looked
for. and that a serious failure of the
crop, as in the year 1889, when, owing
to damage by rain, the export surplus
only amounted to 100000 quarters, is
unlikely to recur, because the wheat
growing area has extended to such an
extent that it measures some $50 miles
from north to south, and $50 miles east
and west, with somewhat different eli
mates, and including districts as far
apart as London and Madrid, or Mime

The earliest settlers were Swiss, and

dences of reyiving property are the
more important because prices for man
ufactured products have advanced but
moderately and are much below the
level Of 1892. Speculation in wheat and
cotton has been set back by bright
crop prospects. The wheat estimate Is
about 20 million bushels more than will
be required for food and seed.
The heads of the various executive
departments here are working on their
annual estimates and reports In antici-
patton of the converting of Congress in
December. Secretary Wilson has out
lined the subjects to which he will call
the attention of Congress and the Presi-
dent. He will ask for n considerab BILE
increase in his appropriation for at
least three important branches of the
work Of the Department of Agriculture,
viz, the Weather Bureau, the Bureau
of Animal Industry, and Farmers Bull
letins. The Secretary claims that the

tended for foreign shipments are over

that bureau in the shipment of butter
to England should be followed by more

that n representative of English firms
has recently been in Iowa, buying up
all available butter for export. There is
tins, and the Secretary desires to in
crease largely the circulation of this
document, but he cannot do so to any
extent without a larger appropriation.
The year ending with September,
1897, has put the finishing touches upon
the explosion Of the theory that silver
and wheat went "hand in hand" Some
figures brought forth from the publ
cations of the Bureau of Statistics of
the Treasury Department show an in
teresting state of affairs with respect to
the relative values of wheat and silver.
On Sept. 1, 1896, an ounce of silver and
n bushel of wheat in the New York
markets were of equal value. On Sept.
/, 1897, just one year later, the bushel
of wheat was equal in value to two
ounces of silver. The thermometer
shows in n unique way the upward
course of wheat and the corresponding
downward course of silver.
