NILSSON RI RAISES
THE MOST WHEAT.
This Seasons Crop Takes Front Rank.

Missouri, famed as the land oflead,
zinc and mules, has just harvested
the biggest crop OF winter whea rails.
ed by any state in the Union.
f-kahsasJ, hitherto the greatest OF
central grain states, has been left be.
hind not only in wheat, but in corn,
by Missouri.
More than 63,O0O,OOO bushels is
the estimate Of Missouri's big winter
wheat crop contained in the report OF
George b. Ellis, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, which
has just been made public at Colum-
bia.
Secretary Ellis report more than
bears out the most confident predic-
tions which have lately been made
by ST. Louis millers and commission
men regarding Missouri's phenomen-
al 1902 grain crop.
According to MIR. Ellis report, the
average yield OF wheat is expected to
reach 20 bushels per acre. The acre.
age devoted to wheat was 3,1S9,00
acres. This makes total yield ex-
ceeding $4,000, 900 bushels.
In 1899 the wheat yield was 49,
000,00O bushels, slightly more than
one-third OF the amount indicated in
this years estimate.
WILL RANK HIGH IN CORN RAISING.
In corn, also, Missouri's record will
be broken. Third rank, andpossibly
second rank, among corn-producing
states will be gained by Missouri this
year. Iowa will be first and Missouri
or Illinois second, with Nebraska and
Kansas following.
Secretary Ellis reports that the
area now in corn is 7,423,6 acres,
and that yield OF nearly 40 bushels
to the acre may be expected. This
will mean a crop exceeding 300, 0O0,-
600 bushels.
Il some time ago anticipated"
said E. o. Stanard Wednesday, that
the grain crop of Missouri would be
larger in 1902 than in any former
year. My estimate of the increase
has been far exceeded by the crop
which has beeh harvested.
"Thie 1902 crop OF grain in Mis-
souri, will be from 20 to 30 per cent
larger than any harvested before.
When a shortage of 30 or 30 per
cent in the Kansas crop is taken into
account Missouri's supremacy in this
seasons crops seems certain.
RAILROADS AND ELEVATORS CROWDED.
Il have heard apprehension ex-
pressed that neither the railroads
nor the elevators will be able to
handle the crop which has just been
harvested in this state and the pro-
portionately big crop OF Illinois.
This will be only temporary diff
Guilty, if it occurs at al, and the crop
| will eventually be all handled salts
factorily.'
Zone reason-fur Missouri's big
crops" said Web NJ. Samuel, Il lead
ing elevator man, ''is the fertility Of
mining soil for agricultural purposes
This is a remarkable feature of the
Missouri crop situation, and no 9th
er state is so fortunate in this re
spect. Where lead and other mineral
is richest the top soil raises heavy
crops. Some OF the biggest grain
raising OF the year has been done or
mineral land in southwest Missouri.
"There is no doubt that Missouri
will become as well known for agri
cultural products as she has become
in the raising Of mules and mineral.

WHERE'S HIBBING'
ALMOST 10000 SPENT UPON IT
BAKER OF Mnnkato Has Lease OF
~ Grounds and VIII Sublet to
49,, Ore Searchers. -

Special to The Journal. '+
.Hibbing, Mimi, May 16.-The village of
Htbbing is on the verge of an exposure
that may cause trouble. Last years coun-
Gil built driving park, put up stables,
and spent the village money with some
freedom, for a village park. Later it
turned out the village had no title to the
land, which was the southwest quarter of
section SO, township So, range 81, and be-
longs to the state schools. The late mu-
nicipal campaign was fought out on the
park issue and new set of officials put
in. .. .'f.... y ~.
These new officials are now looking for
the park. It is discovered that something
less than $4,000 has been spent to make
it, and bills galore are now coming in The
new council refuses to pay these bills un-
til 1t can find the park. So far careful
search does not disclose it, though on
the described land are certain stables and
an expensive track for fast horses. But
title to this land under a state mineral
lease, is and has been held for several
years by General J. H. Baker of Mankato,
who has lately sublet 1t to Duluth men
who will dig holes in the track in a search
for iron ore. A: H. Powers, a member Of
the park board tells the village that
he has personally. a renewal Of the lease
and will turn 1t over to the village when
the bills are paid. But it is positively
certain that General Baker has the lease
and has sublet to explorers. t..'

Admiral Walker Of the Canal Com
:-rE mission and His Little

Chicago, May 16.-Walter Wellman, in

volcanoes in the canal region. The map
will show that there are no volcanoes in
the vicinity Of Panama, while many are to
be found adjacent to the proposed Nicara-
qua canal When Admiral Walker gets
his map done he will submit it to the
senate for the information of that body.
Mr.. Walker, with most other men who
have carefully investigated the canal
question, think it would be folly to try to
build a great ship canal through a vol
canic country. He says that region of
