THE WHEAT CROP.

Estimates Of the winter wheat crop
Of the United States for this year place
e al 32j.0l0.O 600 bushels or about 10000
600 more than last year But the spring
wheat Is believed to be less satisfactory.
News from Minnesota and the Dakotas
are TO the effect that long drought has
cut the crop about one-half, and some
make the outlook even worse than that.
90 course these statements are also
contradicted and the interested public
must form its judgment as best 1t can
as 90 what Is truth, and what is rumor
put into circulation for the purpose OF
influencing the stock market.
The Chicago Record, in summing up
the situation. suggests that the truth
ls 20 be found between the two ex-
tremes. There has been severe and
prouacted drought In the Northwest,
and me wheat crop must be supposed
20 have suffered some. II is therefore
reasonable to conclude that instead OF
the 21900o.0o bushels raised last year
we may not harvest more than l75,oOO,-
600 bushels this season. While this VIII

last year. OF about jOO,OOO.OOo bushels,
yet the average annual production for
hya years. which includes some Of our
biggest crop years. has been only b2S,-
100000 bushels, and the average FOR the
last nine years only 5l4OOO.OOO bushels.

cancer. or 1854 deaths per 100000 Twins
persons
II Is considered strange that a dis
ease Of this kind should be spreading
with irresistible force IA the civilized
world while It is hardly known among
people supposed to be outside that circle.
And. naturally, the query is raised as
to the cause OF this.
So far the Observation-Disclosures are
about the only ones who have offered a
theory on that point. They claim, with
considerable ylgor, that the spread Of
cancer and some other fatal diseases
Is due. sometimes directly and some
times indirectly, TO the animal virus
civilized nations force into their veins.
The idea is. OF course, scorned by some
doctors. who. however fail TO account
for the almost perfect physique found
In Arabia for instance and some other
oriental countries
We do not care to discuss at this time
the much-debated pro and anti-vac-
clnatlon question. but u seems TO be an
accepted scientific principle, that "a
morbid poison applied to different AMI
mails, produces, not a similar and spe-
cIdc disease. but the disease to which
the animal from constitution and
structure Is predlsposcd.' II this is
true, 1t is conceivable mat by yacclna-
ton, various serious disorders may be
started. In fact there Is medical au-
thority for this. Dr. Montague r..
Leyerson. Of Fort Hamilton. New York,
writing about this subject in health
journal called Vaccination, says that
the poison implanted by vaccination
may, as IN most cases happens be elm
mated from the system through an
ulcer. But 1t may also set up a viru-
lent condition not to be distinguished
from syphilis by the most skilful sy-
photographers; or II may excite Into
activity and throw into circulation the
virus Of any other disease lying dor
mant in the system, which is contn-
ually happening with a large number
Of persons predsposed to tuberculosis;
or It may lie dormant for years, ana
at last start into activity disposition
10 disease. such as cancer and osteome-
galacia. The former DIT. Loyerson
says. has greatly increased in preva.
lence among the vaccinating nations,
while Of the latter there is no record
prior to that discovery.
Medical science. we believe, is much
concerned about the increase Of such
diseases, and Is eagerly looking for
remedies. But IL It pursuing It's in
yestigations IN the right direction? To
a layman It certainly appears that the
facts presented and arguments adduced
against the poisoning Of the human sys-
tem-an invention that belongs to a
time when medical science was still try
ing to master It's FIRST letters Of the
alphabet-deserve greater consideration
than orthodoxy Is inclined 20 accord
them. There must be some cause for
the incre g Of certain diseases among
the civilized nations and II 1t is not
