1t will be noticed that last year the
wheat crop was enormous, exceeding by
some 90, 900, 600 bushels even the harvest
reaped In the ever memorable year 1891,
when the farmers worked by moonlight
The money return was, however, much
smaller, last years crop being valued
sl20, 900, 900 below that of 1891. This
difference is easily accounted for. AT the
earlier date there were short crops abroad,
while last year the wheat crop of the
world ran up to the extremely high total
of 2,S79 600, 900 bushels

the same time, getting more and better

In none of these years did the value of
the wheat crop equal one-half of the sum
obtained for it by American farmers in
1891. That was a terrible shrinkage
Taking the period as a whole, the crop
averaged AL , l67, 1862 bushels, the price
5l.2 cents per bushel, and the value 1925
go, sol. These figures etfectually demol-
ish the compensation theory alluded to
above. During the lean period on crops,
showing reduction Of 1903, 100, 044 bush
els in their average, the farmers instead
of getting a higher price, actually receiv-
ed on the average 25 1-2 cents less per
bushel than they had obtained il the pre-
ceding fat period.
The last three years, taking them as
whole, have brought back larger crops
and higher prices.

The Wheat Crop.

The continued backwardness of the
season has naturally led to some ner-
vousness about the wheat crop, says the
Boston Herald. Of course, it is too early
to make any definite estimate of the
harvest, as favorable summer weather
would 60 far to correct the bad showing
this spring. Still it cannot be denied that,
so far, current indications point to light
return on winter wheat. An idea prevails
that, if there should be poor wheat crop
in the United States, the price of the grain
would advance SO high that our farmers
would be more than compensated for the
reduction in quantity. That may be, but
the statistics on the matter do not bear
out this comforting theory. The wheat
crop is very erratic factor in reckon
ing our national wealth. Look at the
returns for the nipeties, as compiled by
the department of agriculture. During
the past nine years there have been three
periods of three years each which show
such notable differences in the character
of their returns that they may fairly
be classed as fat periods and lean periods
The exhibit opens with a fat period
In the three years, 1890, 1891 and 1892,
the value of the wheat crop ran above the
$500, 000,0 900 line every year. Here are
the figures:
Av Price
Crop In bus. per bus. Value Of crop.
1884,. ......39e, 900 $3.50. 334773,67s
1891 GIL 100000 $3.50. 513 472,7l1
1892. Bis, 949 900 CO 4c. 800 111,SS1
In this fat period the crop averaged
sos, 997, 900 bushels, the price 76.7 cents
per bushel, and the value $500, 119, 423
1t will be noted that 1891 was a bumper
year, both as regards the size of the
crop and the average price obtained for it,
Then came a lean period, which bore
fruit in agricultural discomfort so intense
that it threatened the stability of the cur
rency.

PLYM UTH CHURCH.
An Important Meeting Last Even

An Important Meeting Last Evening.
The annual meeting of the College
street Congregational society was held
in Plymouth parish house on Sherman
avenue last evening. Deacon William
M. Parsons presided. A large number
were present. The following persons
were elected as the societys committee:
For one year, Andrew G. Smith and
George D. Foote and Joseph Woods;
for three years, Louis C. Cowles and
Avery e. Ford; treasurer and collector,
j. Preston Strong; clerk, Ward Church;
auditor, Henry S. Wooster.
The subject next taken up was the
question of whether a new church edi-
flee should be erected, and an animated
discussion, participated in by all pres
ent, took place, lasting until late hour,
when the following resolution was
adopted:
'Voted, That the building committee
be authorized to have plans and specifi-
cations drawn and prices obtained and
whenever the committee of ways and
means are able to provide sufficient
funds to erect and furnish q building
with a debt of not more than $4,000,
the committee be authorized to execute
the contracts"
1t was also voted that the building
committee be instructed to include in
their plans memorial window to be
known as the Benedict memorial win
doy, in memory of Mrs. H. w. Bene-
dict, the donor.
The society voted to petition the gen
eral assembly to change it's present
name to the Plymouth Congregational
society.
A large amount of unfinished business
remained but as the hour was so late
it was decided to adjourn to March 6 at
p. M, four weeks from last evening.
Great interest Is manifested regard
ing the proposed new church edifice,
and its erection is an assured fact in
the near future. Something over $2G-
900 has now been raised by the commit
tee on ways and means, and a number
of thousand more, it is expected, will
shortly be added to this fund.

POLO TONIGHT.
New Britain VS.. New Haven.

There is no team in the National
league that has made more rapid strides
toward the top notch for the pennant
lately than has genial Willie Parsons
qulntette from the small city of New
Britain. Their play of late, more es-
pecially in the defence line, has been a.
marvel and the majority of the other
teams have had to bow to their super
iority. They have, however, found
more difficulty in defeating Captain
Whiting and his team of Blues than
any of the rest. The contests have been
close and exciting and have been Won
and lost by small margins, so small, in
fact, that the cranks have been kept
on the pivot of excitement until the
timekeeper's gong has rung out the well
come strains to the team ahead, lndi-
eating that all was over and that theirs
was the victory The contest tonight
should be of the same nature, IL both
teams play their usual game and there
is no reason why they shouldn't. Con-
the crowd at Bowling hall
should get their full moneys worth and
so home happy, of course. 1t is eX-
pected and generally conceded that the
Blues will win, but then there is always

N ECCENTRIC SIXTY POND

SHELL.
| Aside from the bad craftsmanship OF
the Spanish gunners in the battle of
Manila, there seemed to be an extraor-
binary lack of killing quality in the
shells which hit our vessels. There
probably was never before known such
an experience as that of the Baltimore.
A sixty-pound armor-piercing shell,
fired undoubtedly nifron the Canacao
battery on shore, entered the Baltimore
about two feet above the upper deck on
the starboard side, between the after
six-inch gun and the eight-pounder
mounted on the rail. This shell, after
piercing two thicknesses of steel one
quarter of an inch thick, struck the
deck and penetrated till it reached one
of the heavy deck beams, which it
cracked clear through. 1t was then de-
flected upward, coming out of the wood
Ell deck, and tearing its way through
the steel combing of the engine-room
skylight, again passing through two
quarter-inch plates. As it had been
turned sideways on rising from the
deck, the holes it made through these
plates We're about eighteen inches long
by six inches wide--ragged, torn spots,
very unlike the clean-cut punctures
made by such a shell when entering
point foremost. Leaving the skylight,
the shell, ranging slightly forward,
struck the recoil cylinder of the port six
inch gun on the quarterback, disabling
the carriage. AT last it met an object
strong enough to resist it's attack-the
steel shield, which curved in front of
the gun in a complete semi-crcle. Fol
lowing this curve, the shell came out OH
the forward side of the carriage, travel
ing in a direction exactly opposite to it's
former course, until it reached the star
board side of the ship again, where it
struck steel ventilator and was finally
stopped. In other words, this shell
passed through one inch of steel, ripped
up deck broke a deck-beam, and
bulged a shield about an inch out Of it's
original shape 1t crossed the Baltimore
from starboard side to port and back
again to the starboard side, and yet had
hit none of the many men engaged at
the guns near by. 1t is true, it was the
cause of Wounding two officers and six
men, for in its course it exploded two
three-pounder shells which were lying
on the deck ready for use in the small
gun on the Baltimore's rail; but direct
ly it injured no one, and it is regarded
as holding the record for eccentric ac-
