The Wheat Crop For 1898.

The estimate of the wheat crop of
the world 10 1898 put forth by the de-
psrtment of agriculture is 2. $40, 600, 900
bushels, or 1859, 900, 600 bushels above
the average of the last five years and
33l 900, 900 bushels above the crop of
1897. The supply is not excessive in
view of the small surplus left over
from last year, and there is little
doubt, according to the New York
Journal of Commerce, that there will
be q good foreign demand for all the
wheat the United States can spare.
There are already indications of this
fact in the continuance of large ex-
ports, the buying for foreign use hav-
ing been exceptionally large and at ad-
vsncing prices. Last week wheat adj
vsnced over 2 cents under the inf1uepc e
of reports showing small SURPRISES for
export from Russia and Australia.
Corn has also advanced some cents
In view of the prospective good de-
mand abroad for our grain, it is gra-
tifying to know that our crops this
year are probably the heaviest we
have ever had.

SORGHUM and Caffir Corn.

Sorghum and Caffir corn are con-
tinually growing 10 favor not only in
the stock raising portions OF Texas,
but in other sections subject to rather
frequent drouths. One takes prac-
cally no chances in planting these
feeds. They are almost certain to
make a crop if they receive any rain at
all, or even if the ground has reason
able quantity OF moisture at the time of
planting and is properly treated, even
through the soil be light and thin.
But they extract much from the land,
feeding on it too heavily to make it
advisable to plant them in the same
ground two successive years. Follow
them with some crop that may be eat
en- on the ground, all that is left being
turned under Is vegetable manure

Flax In Western Texas.

Flax will be extensively planted 10
the western counties of Texas next
season. In Victoria county a number
of farmers experimental with that
crop this season with satisfactory re-
suits, being paid S1.75 per bushel for
the see d at the oil m lis of Vic:oris,
bringing them far better results than
any other crop planted. The present
low price of cotton will COM
pei farmers to turn their attention
to some other crop than cotton. They
may grow it as surplus crop and just
enough of corn to feed work stock for
few months. We will have to do
some experimenting, either flax, toosc-
CO or cane. The latter is no expert
mental crop for this seotion, this is
its Natural home, and why it is not
more extensively grown we are unable
to explain, while tobacco has proven
prof la BILE east and flax west of US.

THE discussion that has been excit-
ed by the HERALD's proposition, that
the franchise ordinance for the new
electric street railway contain some
provision whereby after the company
shall have reached a certain stage in
returns on the investment the city
shall receive in compensation for its
valuable grant a percentage of the
gross earnings of the company, has
now reached poiut where divergence
from the truth is so startling that some
attempt at correction is desirable. The
Tribune-Telegrsph and the Graphic
have in effect coincided in our own view
that the proposition is we'll worth dis
oussiou and serious trial. The Times
has seen fit to take the opposite stand
and to contend that the agitation is
positively harmful. One or two points
We will try to state briefly. In the
first place, we denounce the effort on
she part OF certain men who pride
themselves upon their public spirit and
fairness, to make of this matter a per-
sopal affair. We do not know what
the Times means by its repeated re-
ferences to conspiracy to defeat the
electric street car enterprise,

WE have not once suggested that
the movement for an electric line
should be dropped if it is found impos-
sible to induce any corporation to &C.
cede to reasonable terms of future re-
Enumeration. No one desires TO put any
obstacle in the way OF our progress.
But those who are trying to force the
hand of the council now are the very
ones who would be most likely to cen
sure the council for carelessness in ad-
ministration if anything should be
wrong with the franchise. Let Us be
reasonable, gentlemen. This fran
chise is to hold for many years. Let
us give q little time for consideration.

THE city council was not only acting
we'll within its prerogstive in postpon-
ing final action on that electric railway
franchise for month, but it acted the
part of any careful, sensible business
man. The city council holds in trust
the property OF all the citizens. 1t is
little short of slauderous 10 denounce
the aldermen and hint at "conspirscy"
simply because they seek to protect
the interests OF the whole city.
