W @ FLAT

Spring has come and we think it is
about time that our country corres-
~pondents thawed out and let each.
other know that we have survived the
winter. So we will begin to croak, and
hope to hear from all the other local..
ties next issue. Our stock has come
through the winter as we'll as we could
expect on such short rations and now
we can begin to take a little longer
breath.
Our winter rye, Of which our crop
consists, is looking fine and bids fair
TO make q good yield, and it is the
most paying crop that we can raise
without irrigation.
Uncle James Morgareidge and fam
lily arrived O the fiat last Saturday
and we are very much pleased to enjoy
their company for a while and would
like to persuade them to stay and make
it their home with US again. We don't
like TO spare with such good enter
prising citizens, because we need lots
of such people in our midst.
Our Sunday school organized again
the last Sunday in March with Andrew
Mosier as superintendent.
The people of the Flat held a socia-
BILE at the Red schoolhouse for the ben
eft of the children's home at Sioux
Falls, and raised over fourteen dollars
and had a very enjoyable time in the
bargain.
Mr.. Grunig closed a successful
term of school the last of March and
the next week commenced teaching at
Cascade.
Miss Whine Mosher returned to the
Springs last Monday to resume school
after spending a pleasant week of va
cation with her folks and n%eighbors.
E. II. Mosher has been selling the
neighbors about 500 apple trees and
some other kinds Of small fruit, and
after six or eight years you AN begin
to look at the results.

PROF. EDDY'S EXPERIMENTS

by Meaus Of Kites.

New York, Jan. 12.-William
A. Eddy of Bayonne, n. j., says
since 1892 he has drawn from his
kite wire hundreds of electric
signals, both regular and irregular
which may have from tom planet,
and that the signals have been
usually in groups OF three, regular
ly tifnid, like Morse sounder.
When the ends Of the kite, from
which are suspended steel wires,
are separated by silk strands,
sparks jump at :twelve-second in.
tervals. Then there are mysteri-
Gus dfsappearaDces OF all electric
action for several minutes. These
electric sparks come from a high
point in the air, not near to the
low tension electric currents of
trolley and live wires. Mr.. EDDY
says these III Signals may come
from an outer planet, because cleo
tricity travels at the rate of 100, :
coo miles q second and is as tire
less as hight, Hhich totals 188, 300
miles a second as measured by a
rapidly revolving toothed wheel.
Great variability in effect is pro-
duced when there is apparently no
change whatever in the condition
of the upper air as far as known.
Eddy has been trying to decipher
these aignaIs since 1892. 1t is al
SO noted that Tesla's signals come
from Pixies Peak at a high point
IN the air.
Eddy points ont that electricity is
superior to light, because Interrupt
ton can be transmitted, While

WHEAT CROP OF THE WORLD.
UnBted States and Russia alone Pro-
duse Greatly "a Excess OF
Their Demands.

A statement prepared by the Unit
ed States department. of agriculture,
showing the wheat crop of the world
for the last FIVE years, contains much
that is of peculiar interest to Ameri-
cans. says Youths Companion
First of ali, it is worth noting that
wheat is something the demand for
which keeps always abreast with the
supply Year after year the worlds
crop increases, yet gains in popula-
ton, improvements in transportation
and the growth o. commerce enable
consumption to keep pace. Last years
crop Of almost two and three-quarters
billion bushels viii be no more than
sufficient for use. and necessity re-
serves during this year.
The continent of Europe produces
more than cnehalf the worlds crop
of wheat, and North America only
about one-quarter; Tet Europe is
constant buyer, and North America
q constant seller. The one consumes
almost the entire worlds surplus, the
other is the worlds great surplus ex-
porter. The contribution of the Unit
ed States to last years crop was
20 $40 per cent, larger share than
that of any other country, Russia
with nearly IS Per cent. being its
nearest rival.
The report brings out Interestingly
the commercial significance of varia-
lions in the crop. In 1897. for in
stance. Europe produced an unusual
" small proportion OF the worlds
supply, while the United States pro
duced an uneommonly large proper
ton. This was greatly TO our advan-
tage, for the European demand ad-
vanced world prices, and we were able
to sell our great surplus at profitable
figures.
In 1898 and 1899, however, these con
ditiOns were reversed. Europe's per
centage of the worlds crop increased,
while ours decreased. The result has
Teen Persistently low prices for wheat,
in spite of a decided advance in the
price of other agricultural products.
An increase in the crop of South
America and Australasia, most Of
which goes to Europe. and the abund-
ance of the European rye crop, have
also helped to keep the price down.
Ordinarily more than Is per ceDtro;
the wheat crop of the world Is pro-
duced in seven countries OF the north
ern hemisphere: the United States,
Russia. France, India, Austria Hun
gary. Germany and Italy; but of these
countries two only. the United States
and Russia, produce a quantity great
