Unreasonable, in view of the fact that
this area at the present rate of yield,
would produce nearly 260,000 600 bush
els, while the European deficiency,
which is the principal one in the world,
is, by the BeerbOhm record, only 3l0,-
100000 bushels. He assumes that the
present annual requirement for bread
is 1924 600, 600 bushels of wheat, while
the official and expert estimates for the
period since 1896 average more than
that figure. the compilation of such
estimates for seven years by the de-
partnlent of agriculture averaging
2, ,447 ,S45 600, an excess of over 100, ,OO0,
000; though the eminent scientist is al
most as lame in his statistics of con-
sumption as he is in those of produc-
ton, really minimizing both. He makes
the supply of the year only 1,921, 900, coo,
While in the statement quoted above,
the product of 1897, the smallest of sew
en- years, is given as 2,214,000000.
TT is very unreliable forecast that
understates production nearly 10 per
ment.
1T would be uncharitable to hope for
a scarcity of bread rations; still, our
eatgrowers would not feel very de-
spondent over a prospect of good prices.
The Crookes view is a distinct encour-
agement to them, and similar views
have been put forth sometimes, appar-
entity in the hope of raising prices. I'm
fortunately, when exaggerated, tenn
porary rise of 10 per cent is followed as
the result of natural reaction, and from
the effect of increase of area, Stimu-
lated by temporary advance in value,
by a fall of 20 to 50 per, cent, as be-
tween 1891 and 1895. 1t is hard to con
vince people, scientists as we'll as plain
people, that honesty is the best policy,
and truth in statistics cannot be safely
departed from The practice of stock
exchanges, as well as that of bucket
shops, to secure a temporary advantage
can never aid the cause of science or of
rural economy" /"

PRESBYTERIAN UNITY.
Tennessee Minister Urges ob1itera
ton of Sectional Lines.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 25.-Rev. DR..
]. I. Vance of the First Presbyterian
church, in his sermon today, urged the
wiping out of the terms North and
South" applied to the church, say
ing:
Il wonder if the time is not at hand
for the effacement of geographical
marks from the name of our beloved
Presbyterian church in America. She
should be the first to put into practice
the gospel she proclaimed. And yet, it
must be admitted that while Mason and
Dixon's line has disappeared from the
geography of citizenship, it survives in
the geography of the church. I speak
today for a Presbyterianism that shall
no more be marked North nor South
but whose territorial boundaries shall
be co-terminus with the uttermost linn
its of the republic, an American Presby-
terian church"
