The commissioner Of agrieul-

crop for 1902, under normal con-
ditions, places the probable acre.
age of spring wheat in North Da-
kota this year at 100000 and
probable total yield about 10000
600 bushels. Statistics of the past
ten or twelve years show the aver
age wheat. crop in the state to be
about fourteen bushels to the acre
for the crop harvested. Conditions
all through the state are excellent,
there having been heavy snow and
rain, and the soil being in excel
lent condition. Reports from all
stock districts that suffered in the
March storm have been received,
and the loss of sheep is placed at
about Eve per cent, which is much
lower than at first expected. Cattle
loss will be much less than this
and the total loss through the
stock sections will not be more
than the average for normal win
ters.

Does Farming Pay? ?

Mr.. Rixey. of Virginia, in speech
which he had prepared on the war-tariii
revenue reduction, says that securing
omen markets of the world will do more
for this country than expenditures on
the arid lands of the West whose senators
and representatives have made hard
and fast bargain to stand together. The
national government might as well pro-
vide great reservoirs in the Eastern
Statesfor the storing Of water against
the destructive drOuths which sometimes
destroy corn and hay crops and burn mp
the pasture lands, preventing the fatten-
ing and marketing Of cattle, entalllng
great and sometimes destructive loss to
their owners. "Iet these schemes" says
Mr.. Rixey, "slumber The people do not
want them. Let us all unite upon the
common plane Of the greatest number
and encourage agriculture. Let us do
what we can to restore it to it's old-time
prosperity. Let us dignity the farmers
calling and increase his profits by giving
him the best markets of the world. Give
him now his day in court. His calling
is the most ancient, and has always been
among the most honorable. Let make
it the most profitable, so that our young
men NAV remain to build up the waste
places. Nothing is to be more regretted
than the leaving OF our farms and farm
life by the sturdy young men to accept
places in the city, yielding them bare
support, and with no hope OF advance
ment. To the question, Why do you
leave the country the reply is almost
invariably made. Farming no longer
