THE WEST HRS THE MONEY!
Stringency In New York Caused
By Heavy Importation.
THE WEST CAN MOVE CROPS.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Events of the
week have pretty clearly demonstrated
the correctness of the attitude of the
treasury department by showing that
there is no money stringency in the
west and south, and that New York
will not be drawn upon very heavily to
furnish funds for moving the crops. J."
The most convincing fact i'll this direc-
ton was the action of J. Ogden Armour
of Chicago in sending 100000 to
New York in order to take advantage
of call loans. In sending his money to
New York Mr.. Armour announced that
it was not to relieve Wall street, but
to earn the additional interest that is
being offered by New York borrowers.
The Armours are as deeply interested
as any one concerning the crop move
ment. If there was shortage of
money in the west or any urgent de-
mand for money to "movc the crops"
the cash of the Armours would natu-
rally be devoted to that purpose. The
transaction confirms the treasury de-
partment officials in their conviction
that the demand for money is not from
the west and south. This conviction
is further strengthened by figures
received at the treasury department,
showing that banks in the crop-grow-
ing and crop-moving districts of the
country are apparently able to take
care of demands being made upon
them.
This condition of affairs is now prac-
tically admitted by the New York
bankers, who have set up the new
argument that the stringency is caused
by the collection of an enormous sum
in customs duties, amounting to about
81, 900, 600 day for Septembe;. This
money, it is asserted, is being locked
up in the vaults of the treasury de-
partment, and the circulating medium
contracted daily to just that extent.

The man that dreams of farming
always imagines himself owning rich
land. There is no other kind that
it is a pleasure to till. There is no
other kind that will yield profit
from the operation Of tillage. The
richness of land regulates the value
of the farm both in the market and
in the operation of farming. Yet IN
the face of this well-known fact, mil
lions of acres of our most valuable
and productive land have been al
lowed to deteriorate in fertility. The
great problem of how to bring them
back to their former state of fertility
is one with which the best Of scien-
lists are working. 1t is not practical
for a man to buy enough stable ma
nure or commercial fertilizers to at
once bring back his land to its origin
al state. A few facts in relation to
the composition of the soil helps US
in determining the best course to
pursue. One of these facts is that
the poverty of the land comes prin-
cipally from the exhaustion of avail
able plant food and not from the, ex-
haustion of the plant food that is not
at once available. In the process OF
years the new unavailable plant food
becomes available, some each year.
We have but to put back on the soil
year by year as much as we take OF
in the way of fertilizer to gradually
bring back the land to a rich condi-
ton, by the annual increase of avail
able plant food from natural causes
This is a slow process, but it is far
better than no process OF recupera-
ton.

Much of the trouble with raising
wheat comes with the quality and
condition of the wheat we sow. Some
forget that in varieties there has dur
ing the past few years been great i'm
provement. At various experiment
stations investigations have been car
ried on that have shown that some
varieties are worth double what
others are. A few varieties have
given large yields year after year on
various kinds of soils and under all
conditions. Yet this information is
being taken advantage of but slowly.
1t will pay to have good seed and the
proper amount per acre. Care must
be exercised to keep out the impure
ties, which are frequently the cause
of great crops of weeds in the wheat
field. Well-cleaned seed only should
be used. Seed containing weed seeds
should not be. purchased at any price,
as the weed seeds will take more
nourishment away from the growing
wheat than the whole cost of the seed
will amount to. Every farmer should
know how to clean his own seed and
should do it where necessary.

Onion Gro, of the United States.

OHIOH OFCE OI the OTlhCd oeoeSS'
We have no full statistics of the
onion crop in the United States later
than 1899, the year covered by the
twelfth census. In that year the
yield was over 100000, and the
acreage was in excess of $4,000. The
farm value of this crop amounted to
$6,637,413. New York leads as pro-
Queer of onions, the yield that year
being 2,177,27 bushels. Ohio followed
with 1,671,44 bushels. Almost one
third of the entire crop of the coun-
try in 1899 was produced in these two
states, their combined output amount
ing to 3,S4S,713 bushels, valued at ST.
S92,254.
The five states which rank next,
and together produce about one
fourth of the entire crop, are, in the
order of their Importance as produc-
ers, Michigan, Massachusetts, Illinois,
California and Indiana. The combined
product of these five states in 1899
amounted to 3,098,SO7 bushels, valued
at $1,528,776. No state other than
those mentioned ABOVE produced aS
much as a half million bushels. Con-
necticut is credited with over 100000
bushels; Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and
Wisconsin each raised upwards OF
100000 bushels; Iowa, Missouri, Min
nesota, Oregon, Virginia and Colorado
each produced crop Of upwards OF
100000 bushels, and the combined
product of the group of the ten states
last enumerated amounted to ASIA
800 bushels, or almost "a per cent OF
the entire crop Of the country. 1t is
thus seen that about 80 per cent or
the onion crop of the United States
in 1899 was the product of II states,
the remaining IS per cent being dis
tributed among 80 states and terri
tories.

HarroMinu Wet Ground.

Ground should not be narrowed
when it is too wet. Only the skillful
farmer can tell when it is too wet.
One farmer follows the practice Of
taking a handful Of soil and work
ing it into a ball. If the ball holds
together he considers the soil too wet
to be worked. The narrowing should
be done when there is sufficient mois-
ture in it to keep it from being very
hard on the surface but should also
be dry enough so that when narrowed
the particles of soil will fall away
from each other. The time during
which ground is just right for har-
rowing is of short duration. This is
especially true Of clayey land. On
sandy soil there is little trouble in
narrowing at any time, especially If
the soil be very sandy.
