THE BOCNTTFUL YEAR.

That this will DO a year Of plenty Is assured.
The question Is whether the plenty will prove
too great ThOman's report, Notwithstanding
some admitted injury to wheat sticks to the
estimate of 1OOOOO,O00 bushels for the year,
saying that spring wheat Is now mostly har-
vested and will aggregate 300,000000 bushels.
while threshing returns do not materially alter
the estimate OF 4OOOO0,O0O bushels for winter
wheat Shows report a month ago was sub
stantially the same and when these outside
estimates practically agree no attention is paid
to Government accounts. which have not yet
ESCAPED the habit Of being much too low. But
what is TO he done with 1O0O00O00 bushels OF
wheat. of which not much over 40O,000,00O can
Inc required for food and seed? With the worst
foreign crops on record this country has twice
exported over 200OO0O0O bushels, hut with or
binary crops abroad the foreign demand has
usually ranged between 1Oo0OOOo0 and $780,
100000 bushels. 1t is probably safe to say that
this country will not carry over as much as
15000O,000 or even 100.OOOOOO bushels without
a severe fall In prices
This would mean a loss to farmers, all the
more severe If ny holding back their wheat for
higher prices they give over the supplying or
foreign markets for some months to producers

cents a bnshel with fair crops abroad. decline
~ 100000 600 bushels TO 80 cents average farm
value would not appear surprising II foreign de-
mands should be only fair. But such m aver
age price ut the farms would mean for large
proportion OF the whcat-raisers actual loss, and
for the rest scarcely any profit. The course OF
markets for the coming year will therefore be
watched with especial interest, since the pros
nerty Of all industries In this country and OF
all trade depends largely upon the purchases by
the farmers.

The most important thing about the late
MARQUIS de Mores heir to the italian dukedom
OF vallombrosa, was that his ancestral name
was mentioned in the poetry Of John Milton.
His last expedition to enlist Arab cheftains
against England in the Soudan was not COM
Melted as he was slain by his Touareg guides
when he was hardly started on his journey
across the desert from Tripo. Some OF those
malefactors have Just confessed the crime
bringing the marquis's name again to public
attention The adventure on which he en-
barked showed more enterprise than wisdom
and that was a feature OF so much OF his career
as Is known to the public. His powers were
not equal to the exertlon OF airy influence
against England in her Soudanese campaign
as any person Of sense or discretion couid
have told him. AS II turned OUT they were
not sufficient to protect him from the treachery
Of his guides. The confessing culprits are quite
likely TO be beheaded. the French authorities
of Tripoli having charge OF that matter. and
so the history Of the restless italian noble closes

What will be said to this by the experts who,
when told by The Tribune that there was no

not favoring sixteen-knot ships because Of the

only possible ships suitable to our harbors

THE MELON GROWERS.
An Important Business
Meeting on Saturday.

Our streets were lively with
melongrowers Saturday morning
and Odd Fellows hall was COM
fortably filed when Senator Swink
called the meeting to order.
The chairman asked for reports
from all portions of the county as
to the condition of the cantaloupe
crop.
b. F. Powell said that at Man
zanola the crop was in good con-
dition, clean and a large acreage,
but not quite as early rs last year.
I. Z. Kouns said that the can
taloupes in the vicinity of Rocky
Ford were the finest in the world.
NJ. Badger said that his obser-
vntion under the High Line
showed the prospects better than
ever before.
c. j. Samples said that in his
six years raising of cantaloupes
he never before had 30 fine a pros
pect rs this yeur. From his nine
acres he expects to ship 1000
crates.
G. D. Williams reported his
crop good and early.
H. L. Brannon said that the
crop in his section was looking
fine. The Fairmount fields have
come on nicely since the hail. But
few watermelons raised in Fair
monnt
John Wasson said that in Hol-
brook the stand was good and the
crop in fine condition but not
quite SO early as at Rocky Ford.
The acreage of cantaloupes was
much larger than last year but of
watermelons few were planted.
The question of the association
paying portion of the expense
for building u covered platform
beside the Santa Fe track at
Rocky Ford was fully discussed.
A letter from Supt. Dyer to SEN
ator Swink said that the road
would furnish the material for a
platform 10 by 200 feet If the asso-
citation would pay for the labor Of
construction. The material
would cost $500 and the labor
would be guaranteed to cost not
over $3.50.
Mr.. Swink said that the plat
form would greatly facilitate
loading and the goods be kept in
better condition. The jnmmed
condition at the receiving depot
last year was referred to. This
season the amount of cantaloupes
to be shipped will be four times
as great as last year.
Manager Ed. Swink said that
the platform would be of great adj
vantage when cars were being
switched, as last yenr much time
