PLENTY OF WHEAT
Secretary Wilson TCoffs at Pro-
 lessor CrOOke'S Prediction.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Secretary Wilson of the department of agricul- ture has returned to the city and his labors
 Prof Cooke does not know what he is talking about" said the secretary to a reporter who asked him concerning the eminent English scientists state I1ent that the world is entering upon wheat famine that will amount to q panic in 1881. The secretary had read the article, and was primed to explode the Britisher's latest sensational the ory.
 ''Efe says that there are no more wheat lands in the United States" re- marked Mir. Wilson, "and right there he shows his complete ignorance of the subject. 1 have just returned from trip through the Genesee valley, where 1 went expressly to look as the lands which years ago grew so much wheat.
 Tt is all grass land now, but could easily be made as fine a wheat country as ever. Take Iowa, for instance; in the northwest corner the farmers raise about S,000,000 bushels yearly but if they cared to do it they could raise 30.OOO,O0O. But they don't do it for the ve~v good reason ilat there IS no profit in it. In the early days in Ioaa the farmers were new to the whea- queS- tion, and they raised more of it than anything else, but since then they have increased their possessions by adding livestock, and now instead of wheat they grow corn, oats, barley and rye to feed their livestock. Besides, they cannot grow wheat as cheap as can the Red River valley farmers, where the farms cost practically nothing. in Iowa, all through the state, I believe 1t a fact that farm land is worth $40 an acre. The same statement is true of Indiana, Illinois and the other states from the Gensee to the Red River val 1ey. But let wheat sell at so cents a bushel and you would see how quickly land now used in growing corn and other grains could be converted into wheat area.
 Farmers in those sections nowa days don't grow wheat to sell. They grow it for feed. One bushel Of wheat will make thirteen pounds of live hcs. The United States, in my opinion, ought not to export dollars worth of wheat, but should send away horses, cattle, hogs, poultry, butter and cheese. There's where the best prices exist for the farmers.
 q don't know what the countries abroad would dc for their wheat sup ply. They are not situated like the United States with regard to potential power to increase thsl wheat supply. They cant grow much more than they do. If a wheat crop is taken every year from land in ten years it's power to grow that grain is practically ex- hausted. The soil has been stripped Of the elements giving richness. Many farmers grew wheat cnly once in fiYa years, using the land meantime fC. grass growing and other purposes, and so restoring it's richness and pToI vet i've power.
 Tn this country the agricultural de partment's chief work is in in9tructinS farmers how to make their land doubly and fully productive The chief ele-

 An hour later Collier was talking to Dr. Graeme Nj. Hammond of s West Forty-fifth strest When he entered into conversation with Dr. Hammond al traces of leyity disappeared, He was solemn, even lachrymose, as he told his history.
