The wheat crop Of the United States this
year is estimated to be about one hundred
and twenty million bushels less than last
years. This would be a bad outlook for the
American farmer but there is a shortage OF
the crop in all the wheat exporting countries
so an increased price will in some manner, il
not wholly compensate for lack of yield.

and, rising, called out to the company
Listen, princes and boyars. Is there
among you one who will wrestle with

czar repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared TO
wrestle with his sovereign But all at
once young dragon stepped OFT

"Well, young dragoon. said Peter, Il

They closed, and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the ear and
with his right he prevented him from

the soldier whatever reward he should

he lived, in all the inns belonging to
the crown. What became Of him his

Irrigation In the East

Some years ago / noticed how an in
genious eastern farmer had taken a
unique way to reclaim pasture through
which creek flowed. When this farm
er was boy, the water flowed steadily
in this stream all through the summer
season, and its bed. being shallow, the
top strata of earth ON either side abb
sorbed moisture therefrom and kept the
field green. Later, when the woodland
above was removed, and the savage
floods came down in the springtime,
they gouged ont deep bed for the
creek and overspread the rich bottom
land with gravel and silt Then, when
the creek fell away in volume in mid
summer, it howed feebly over the bot
tom of a clay bed ten feet deep. with the
water so far removed from the upper
strata that there was no seepage of mois-
ture under the grass roots. So there
was no adequate pasturage except in
spring and fall. and thus it remained
several years.
One day the farmer. reading how ir-
rigation was conducted in the west,
went mp this stream half mile and,
cutting out ditch, brought the water
down to overflow his drought stricken
pasture whenever it needed it. The re-
suit is that now the grass there in mid
summer is as green as d ricefield. while
the hill Pastures are scar and brown.
From this and other instances ! con-
slider that irrigation in the east. as
