BRITISH WHEAT HARVEST.
The Yield IL Fine in Quality, Blu,
VIII Only Average Four Quar-
tiers to the Acre.

London, Aug. 4.-The wheat har.
vest in the United Kingdom has been
in full swing for q week, and the
Mark Lane Express calculates that,
although the quality is fine, the yield
in the most important counties will
be four quarters to the acre, against
the usual five quarters.
Barley, likewise, is of good quality
but the quantity is below the average;
and oats are too thin to make a big
crop.
The yield of English and Scotch po
tatoes will be fully up to the average,
while ireland promises the best yield
since 1895, which was a grand year.

AN EXPANDING INDUSTRY.
The Agricultural Department Pre-
pairing a Comprehensive Re-
port on Truck Farming.
THE POINTS COVERED BY THE REPORT
A Distinct Agricultural Industry that
Has Expanded From Year to Year
Until Now IL 10 One of the Most
Far Reaching I'm the Coun-
try.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE agricul-
tural department is preparing to pub
lish a report by Edward q. Warde, Jr.,
and Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., on truck
farming and the transportation OF
fruits and vegetables in the United
States. The report covers the fol
lowing points:
scope of the Report.
IA description of the transporta-
ton of fruits and vegetables from
southern truck farms to northern
markets.
"A description of the California
fruit industry and the movement OF
California fruits to interior points
and Atlantic seaboard cities.
3-Freight rates and refrigerator
charges on perishable products in all
important sections of the country.
Reviewing the general growth OF
these interests the report says:
Distinct Agricultural Industry.
Truck farming in the United States
has been recognized as a distinct agri.
cultural industry for period OF
about forty years.
The increasing population of the
cities and consequent demand for q
greater quantity and larger variety
of vegetables at all seasons of the
year, the changed conditions and the
surplus of labor in the south after
the close OF the civil war and the
building of many thousands of miles
of new railways have given this indus
try an impetus which has caused it to
develop with remarkable activity and
large areas throughout the entire
country are now devoted almost ex.
clusively 10 the growing of what il
known as gurden truck.
Affects the Southern States.
This is the especially true of all the
southern states where, from late win.
ter until early autumn, thousands and
thousands Of acres are under cultiva'
ton to supply northern markets with
fruits and vegetables, there being
hardly a northern city of any size
which is not receiving its out-of-sea-
son garden truck. The southern
planter mas made new use of his
farms.
Many of the improved facilities
which have been adopted by the
freight departments of our roads are
directly attributable to the handling
of perishable agricultural products.
Routes have been shortened, through
schedules adopted, motive power in
creased and by the use of ventilation,
refrigeration, speed and quick deliv
cry, the railroads are enabled to place
the truck in the northern markets in
as good condition as when it left the
southern farm, even when it neces-
states a journey of many hundreds
of miles.
Seasons ObIiterated.
Such thing as a particular season
for any kind OF vegetable in our prin-
cipal markets is at this time prac-
tically unknown, and it is now posi-
BILE to draw upon the different Sec
lions of the country and receive at
any season of the year nearly all the
standard varieties of vegetables. In
the late autumn and early spring
Florida and the southern states fur
nish the supply for the northern mar
kets until the advancing season

Coz, Discoveries Near l. J.o...

/. L. Boyd and John Pearson,
while on hunting trip south OF
town one day last week. discover
ed the outcroppings OF vein of
coal about seventeen miles from,
La Junta. Later developments
are very promising, and COM
pany will be organized at once to
work the prospect.
Mr.. Boyd is practical Goa!
miner aud has been engaged in
the business Tor years. He says
that while out on hunting trip he
discoveIed evidences OF coal and
started to investigate. On the
face OF cliff above small stream
ne found small vein about TIVE
feet in thickness, and thinks that
alter little prospect work 1t will
develop into vein between three
and four feet in thickness. He says
the indications are all that could
be desired and is confident that
with little development work
coal in great quantity will be
found.
Mr.. Boyd has already done de
v@lopment work on the claim SUI
ficient to hold il for sixty days.
and has made application for the
necessary blanks to file upon the
government land where the coal IS
located. An individual is allowed
BY Law to file upon 100 acres Of
coal land, paying $40 per acre
if Il is located within fifteen miles
of = railroad and $io per acre If
located at = greater distance than
fifteen miles from railroad.
A sample Of the coal is on ex-
hibition At the TRiHuNE Office. II
