WHEAT YIELD FOR SO
WORLDS PRODUCTION is THE
SMALLEST IN SIX YEARS.
Official Estimate Places the Total at
o,42S,393,O 900 Observation-Disclosures of
the Secretary OF Agriculture Pre-
Official Report Given.

According to 4 report issued by the Sec
Rotary of Agriculture. the worlds wheat
crop for 1896 is 2,42S, 393, 900 bushels. 1t
is the smallest wheat crop in six years.
Although the total wheat yield is 11S,O00,-
900 bushels less than in 1895. it is larger
than earlier estimates indicated. This is
largely due to an increase of 59,O00.0OO
bushels in European Russia, as shown in
the final estimates of the central statisti-
cal bureau over the November estimate
of the minister Of agriculture Of that coun-
try.
The report prepared by the Agricultural
Department is particularly interesting be-
cause it gives the product by countries and
continents not only in 1896 but in each
year back to and including 1891. This
makes a valuable table for dealers who
desire to compare the yields year by year.
While these figures by countries are not
given here. it is possible in brief space to
give the recapitulation by continents for
these years, and that follows:

done even before the danger was realized.
The structure was smashed into kindlng
wood, and the broken timbers and dead
bodies were mixed together in sickenng
confusion.
The cyclone formed on the western gulf
and was DETECTED inland by the Appala-
chicola river valley. Tearing up the val
ley, wrecking buildings all along the way,
it split at the junction of the Chattahoo-
chez and the Flint rivers, ascending both
valleys and sweeping in broken parts over
the country in which lies Arlington, Blake
ly and other points heard from. AS the
greater part of the country trayersed IS
removed from communication the damage
can only be surmised from that reported.
1t may involve hundreds of lives If the
record is maintained. Another storm
swept from the Florida Atlantic coast,
northwestward, but no disasters have
been reported from its path.

DEATH BY TORNADO.
CHILDREN KILLED IN A DE-
MOLtSHED GEORGIA SCHOOL.
Eight Bodies Taken from the Wind
wrecked Ruins of an Academy at
Ar1inEton-Mauy Fatally Injured
Storm in the South.

A cyclone cut path of death through
the little town of Arlington, Ga, Mon
day. 1t left eight children dead in the
ruins of Arlington Academy. Many 9th
ers and one of the many teachers will die
Thirty-fve children and the teachers went
down in the wreck Men who were re-
moving the ruins became sick ut heart.
The horror came upon the town at S:3O
in the morning and without warning
There was sudden roar, which passed
away as quickly as it came, and the har-
vest of death had been reaped. No larger
than a bed blanket was the cloud in which
the cyclone was. hid. 1t rushed down
from the northwest. missed the business
section by bare block, tore through the
residences of w. d. Cowdry and Or. w.
L. Saunders, demolished them and then
took the little academy and twisted it into
fragments. Luckily nobody was in either
of the two residences, and so the death
list is confined to the academy pupils.
Persons who heard and saw the death
cloud were startled. Nobody dreamed,
however, that it had caused u horror un-
til a scream came from the direction of the
academy. The town is a little one, and it
did not take long for the news to spread
that there was disaster. Men left their
work and women their homes. Nearly
everybody had 4 child in the school, and
when the white-faccd men and weeping
and screaming women saw what had hap
pened the scene was heartrending. Chill
dren, wounded and bleeding and unable
to walk, were creeping and crawling and
staggering out from under the wrecked
building. Others. alive but helplcssly fast
ened down by broken beams and flooring,
were piteously pleading for assistance,
while others, silent and manglcd, told a
tale all too terrible for the parents who
looked upon the work of the small cloud.
Rescue work was soon begun. Men and
women, too, tore at the twisted timbers,
sobbing and screaming. Occasionally ma
ture was kind to mother and she was
tenderly carried away unconscious. Other
towns were asked to send aid, and doctors
came from far and dear. All that was
possible was done for the manglcd little
ones, while the dead were borne to homes
of sorrow. Nearly every household is
stricken, and in every street were women
wringing their hands, sobbing men and
children weeping because some little chum
was either dead or dying.
The academy. which lay directly in the
path of the death cloud, was new two

great heap, and the work of death was

effect of which was to increase enormous
ly the duty upon cheaper articles that are
purchased by those who work and lessen
the tariff upon the expensive articles that
are purchased only by the rich. BY trans
ferrng an enormous quantity of wool
from class !. to class the duty on raw
woods was increased far beyond any bill
ever presented to an American Congress.
Woods that paid 81 per cent under the Nc
kinlcy bill would now, he said, pay an
equivalent ad valorem of between 200
and 300 per cent and possibly more. The
duty on corduroys used by the poor was
increased to about 1913 per cent, nbso-
lutely prohibitory. The bill restored the
duty upon burlaps made from jute used
for bagging grain and. fertilizers, while
the only burlap of this description made
in this country was made in prisons. Car
pets of jute, purchased by the poor, had
been raised, he said, to an equivalent of
$50 per cent, while those used by the rich
were taxed 90 per cent The tax upon
waterproof cloth had, he continued, been
increased from the Mckinley rate of 40
per cent to about 12O per cent.

Enormous Production of Corn.

Smallest in six Years.
1t will thus be seen that the crop for
1896 is the smallest for six years. The
figures given by the Agricultural Depart
ment in these tables are official, either
preliminary or final, wherever available.
In some important wheat-growing coUn-
tries. however, official returns of wheat
production are not made; in such cases
commercial estimates have been used.
"A table is given showing the disposal
Of the wheat crop of the United States
for 1896 After some explanation re-
garding the reports of supply and distri-
button of wheat received by the depart
ment the following figures are given:
Reserve in March, 1897 Bushels
In farmers hands March, 1897. $4,000, 900
In mills, etc, March. 1897 ...... 4lOO0,000

Spring and winter seeding. 1896. 5OO00,OO0
Food consumption. 1869 ..... $40 600, 900
Exports, lSJO-3I ............... l49,OOU,OOU
In this computation the amount needed
for seed is calculated at one and two
tifths bushels per acre and the food con-
sumption of II, 600 900 inhabitants at four
and one-thrd bushels per annum per
capita.
The supply of 173,OOO.0O0 bushels will
have to meet. before the crop of 1897
comes to re-enforce it about the beginning
of July. demands of about 100000
bushels for spring seeding and 1O4, 900
bushels for four months food consump-
ton, at the rates above used. 1t is quite
likely. owing to the increase in the cost
of wheat and the further decrease in that
of corn. that the rate of wheat consump-
ton per capita may be still further re-
duced this season. but, taking these
amounts as they stand. the country is left
with a supply of a2,0O0OOO bushels for
export and for balance to be carried over.
The exports for March to June. inclu-
sive. were last year less than 36.OO0,OOO
bushels, and they were for the first nine
weeks of the present year, notwithstand-
ing the higher price, 100000 bushels per
week less than for the corresponding
weeks Of last year. If the same difference
holds till July the exports for the foul
months will be 27,OOO,OOO. and the stocks
remaining on farms, in mills and ''visi-
ble'' will be but 25,OOO,OOO bushels, an
