Forty Square Miles of Wheat
From the san Francisco Call.


What is said to be the largest single
wheat field in California is now being
planted to the grain that makes the staff
of life 1t covers over %. 600 acres, or
forty square miles
This enormous field of grain is located on
the banks of the San Joaquin River, near
the town of Clovis, in MADEIRA county
The field is part in Fresno county and part
in MADEIRA county.
Clovis Cole is the man who is putting in
this vast acreage, and he has undertaken
one of the largest jobs that any man has
yet done in California
While it is true that larger acreages of
wheat have been planted by certain ranch
ers in this State, there seems to be no
record of an exact parallel to the present
case On the Miller & Lux ranch, in
Kern county, so, 900 acres were planted
one year, but the fields were scattered
about in different places. They were
really series Of fields, located wherever
there was fertile spot. Few of the fields
were 1000 acres, and in many instances
there would be half mile of bare land be
tween them. The acreage planted could
not be called wheat field of 80, 900 acres
any more than all the wheat fields in the
State could be classed under one head.
The Clovis field, however, is an ideal
wheat field. 1t is almost as flat as a floor,
with a gentle slope toward the river The
outer lines of the field make it almost a
perfect square Each side is a little over
six miles, and if the day is clear every part
of the field can be seen from any other
part 1t will be beautiful sight worth
seeing when all the grain is up and waves
gently in the breezes of springtime There
are no roads through the Clovis wheat field.
1t is to be one solid stretch of grain, and
every square foot of land is to be utilized.
Ploughing and planting began in the big
wheat field about the middle of last July
and will hardly be completed before the
next two months at least But the grain
will all mature at about the same time.
Then will come the herculean task of har-
vesting 1T.
To get an idea of the enormous size of
this great wheat field let us imagine that it
is close to San Francisco. IF one end of
it one mile wide touched on Market street
the rest of the field would stretch one mile
wide almost to San Jose. This same wheat
field is over four times the size of the i'm
proved portion of San Francisco. The
whole city and county of San Francisco,
including all the outlying districts, is about
the same size.
With the big improved machinery it
does not look as though there was much
work spent on planting and harvesting the
field. But suppose one man had to handle
the crop, if such were possible, how long
would it take him
Suppose the field was one mile wide and
forty miles long, and the one man had
double gang plough cutting furrow TWEEN
ty-four inches wide. He would start at a
corner of the field in San Francisco and
plough south toward San Jose, distance

London Elections show Decided Gain
for Progressives.
LONDON, March 3.-The elections
passed off today with no notable Incl
dent. The attempt of the Earl of Den
bigh to Gust John Burns in Battersea
failed. Earl Russell, Progressive cam
didate, was defeated at Hammersmith.
Among those reelected were the Earl of
Hardwicke, Baron Monkswell, Sir Hor-
ace Farquahar, the Right Hon G. J.
Shaw-Lefevre and Sir J. B. Tundell
Maple.
The latest returns show that the Pro-
gressives have elected 81 of their cam
didates and the Moderates 40. A re-
count will be necessary in Chelsea, and
the results in the city proper. Fulham
and WadsWorth, will not be declared
until tomorrow. Thus far the Progress
sives show a net gain of 13 seats. The
Moderates have gained only two seats
in Central Finsbury, and this owing to
a split in the Progressive ranks.
The pollings showed no marked in
crease over previous elections, but the
return Of number of extreme Social
lists is a feature of the result. 1t is ex-
pected that the Progressives will have
a majority of at least "a in the new
County Council. Although the Conssr-
vative party made strong attempts to
infuse politics into the contest, result
ing in a somewhat increased poll, the
increase was not in the direction
they desired. The Progressives secured
$4,000 votes increase, against an in
crease of 5000 for the Moderates, thus
improving their position almost every

Not Promote Shipping.

WASHINGTON, February 28.-Sena-
tor Perkins, who attended a meeting Of
the Maritime Convention last week in
New York, said today there was little
probability that there would be any
bill for the promotion of American
shipping introduced at the present ses-
sion of Congress. Neither the Elkins
plan of discriminating duties, nor the
Edmunds bill, which was based on
port privileges principally, meets with
the favor of all shipping men.

crime. If a man is a thief at heart he
should be placed where he cannot steal.
The Acknowledgement believed that
there was too much running to get out
warrants. If the law failed the respon-
sibility would be placed back ON the
prosecuting officers and the nolle
prOsequi.
Senator McCandless said in support
of the bill that it appeared in operation
to be like putting a man under bond to
keep the peace and gave him a better
chance to get out of the channels of
misdemeanor
Senator Baldwin said he believed in
the principle of the law and it had not
been abused. The Supreme Court had
ruled that the Circuit Court had the
right of suspending sentence. This fact
would make it appear that there was a
probability that such power was consti-
tutional.
The sections were passed separately
and the bill passed as a whole on sec
ond reading. Third reading was set
for Thursday.
On the motion of Senator Water
house to take up appropriation bill 4
without waiting for the loan bill, Sen
ator Brown said he understood that the
Cabinet was hesitating to bring in the
loan bill to ascertain definitely wheth-
er or not the annexation treaty would
be passed this session. That condition
would change the need of the appro-
priation bill.
The Attorney General said that the
question of annexation was an element
in the delay in bringing in the loan
bill but there were items from the
other Islands that were constantly
coming in and changing the complex
ion of the bill.
Attention was drawn to the large
balance in the treasury. Senator Nc
Candies thought the balance was
large enough and some of the public
| improvements should be paid for out
of the surplus revenue now in the
treasury instead of allowing the fund
| to increase. At present there was a
| surplus in the treasury of over $780,
| 900. The Senator was of the opinion
| that this money should be put in cir
culation so that the working people
and the merchants could benefit by it
| While the taxes were coming in there
had actually been stringency of The
money markets, so much ready cash
had been withdrawn from circulation
| The Acknowledgement replied tina
the matter had been thoroughly dis
cussed by the Executive. 1t had beer
decided that in the present politica
uncertainty a surplus should be KEEP
in case annexation would be consum
mated and the revenues of the Custom
/ Department and the Postal Bureau alb
sorbed by the United States as tn
treaty provides.
The Senate decided to postpone fur
Their discussion. AT II o'clock it wa
