TO FEED THE WORLD
United States Will Produce 2,5oo,-
600, 900 Bushels Corn This Year.
Enough to Supply the Needs of All Peo'
pies for Two Years, Even Should
There BE q Total Fall
ure in 1908.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Experts of
the department of agriculture have
been busy making calculations upon
the addition to the wealth of the
nation that is to be added by the
harvesting of the corn crop of the
present year. There is no longer
any danger from frost. The work
of gathering the early crop has been
commenced in some sections, and
the estimates on the years produc-
ton can now be made almost to the
bCshel. These estimates show that
the record in the history of cereal
productions is about to be broken.
Figures are available now to show
the crop for the present year will
exceed 2,5OO,OO0,0OO bushels, enough
this year and next, even should there
be total crop failure in 1908.
In 1900 the United States raised
2,000,000, 900 bushels of corn; in 1901,
100000, 900 bushels. In 1896 the crop
was near to the present bumper
yield, making 100000 bushels.
Last year, because of the scarcity,
corn sold at excessive prices. In
Kansas the farmers obtained 80 cents
a bushel for the crop. The average
price was 60 cents. The whole crop
sold for 1929, ,76S. In 1899, when
the crop was twice as large, the
price obtained by the farmers was
$685., 21011O. The value of the corn
crops last year was $40 an acre, while
in 1896, the greatest corn year prior
to this one, Sc was the average price
obtained by the farmers. In 1889 corn
sold in some parts of the United
States for 10 cents a bushel, the low
est price ever known. The corn crops
of the United States are worth from
5000, 100000 to $9OO,OOO,OOO every year.
The exports average from SITE, 000,-
900 to S2OO,OoOOOO annually, or one
tenth of the yield. Only 25 per cent.
of the corn raised is exported from
the states where it is grown. Some
states never raise enough corn to sup
ply the home needs. The middle west
states are the principal corn produc-
ers. Illinois is the principal exporter.

ROOsEVELT'S BAD LEG.
The Surgeons Yesterday Cut into It with q
Knife and the Bone Was Found
Slightly Affected.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Another op-
Grafton was performed yesterday on
the abscess on the leg of President
Roosevelt. In the former operation
a simple needle was used to relieve
the trouble, but yesterday the sur
geons with knife made an incision
into the small cavity, exposing the
bone, which was found to be slightly
affected. The presidents case has
been progressing satisfactorily, but
it is believed by the physicians that
the further operation made yester-
day will hasten his complete recov-
cry.

lola and his wife retired at 10
o'clock, and the servants, not hear
ing any movement in the apartment
this morning, entered the bedroom
at $3.50 and found Madame lola ly

lying half out of bed, with the head
and shoulders on the floor and his
legs on the bed. Doctors were sum-
moned but they failed to restore
lola to life. After prolonged effort
they resuscitated Madame lola. The
rumor circulated regarding Zola's
supposed suicide from poison was
based on the fact that elections sup

were found on the floor, but the doc
tors say they came from Zola's dog,
which was also in the bedroom and
which did not suffer from asphyxia-
ton.

KING EDWARDS CLOTHES.

The announcement that Edward VII,
King of Ireland and Great Britain
and Emperor of India, has at last de-
cided upon the character Of the robes
which he will wear at his coronation
next June will be read with interest in
Anglomaniac circles In the United
States and by the Monarch's truly
loyal subjects at home and in the
colonies.
1t is stated in London dispatches
that King Edward will don on the oc
casion of his coronation a cloth of
goa under jacket embroidered with
palm branches. shamrocks, roses and
thlstles. In this gorgeous garment he
will present stunning appearance.
las cape will be decorated with silver
emblems. With his crown on his royal
head, and his other garments fashion
ed on the same scale OF magnificence,
the k.ng. to use a favorite expression
of the gentler sex. will be lust too
lovely and cute for anything"
No wonder Anglomaniacs In the
| United States are moving heaven and
earth to get chance to see the King
in his dazzling raiment. In this re-
public the people have no opportunity
to witness such spectacies-out-
side OF the comic opera houses.
Our rulers take to plain clothes, with
no fuss and feathers. no gold lace and
no millinery. Possibly some of these
days We may put on more style and
our Presidents will be inaugurated
with greater pomp ana ceremony. At
present. however. the American i'm
agination cannot conceive oil chief
magistrate of this republic wearing a
cloth of gold under jacket and a cape
decorated with silver eagles and
lilies.
If in the future some President
should make his appearance in raj
ment of this picturesque character,
we fear much that our obseryant small
boys could not be restrained from
saying rude and Impairment things.

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT

stance at Cienfuegos a code of signals
had been arranged for communication
with the Cuban insurgents. Admiral
Schley knew nothing about this ar
rangement but some OF the officers
of his squadron had been told about
it. 1t was evluently not a part of their
business to enlighten the command
err OF the squadron. They assumed that
he had been informed about it. 1t
would have zen a breach of naval
etiquette for them 20 assume the con-
trary and to put him in possession of
important facts. Naval officers are APP
parently slaves to etiquette. especially
when they are serving under a com
mander whose success they are not
particularly anxious to promote. For
the good OF the country, IL not for that
of the service, it mignt be we'll If the
naval code OF etiquette were modified.
Dignity is fine thing. but it ought
not to be carried to such an extent as
to create a barrier between an officer
and his superior.
1t was made painfully plain to the
people who read the evidence OF the
Court of Inquiry ,Aat the commanders
of vesseis serving under Schley's COM
mand were not friendly disposed to-
ward him. They did not cooperate
cheerfully. They made 1t plain that
they wanted Sampson to reap the
laurels of victory. Yet the President
admits that he was mainly guided in
reviewing the case by these same men,
whose prejudice against Schley was
made apparent by every act and word.
The President failed to make a COM
prehensive review OF the whole case.
He evidently feared to offend the con-
trolling ring in the Navy. He Is more
just to Schley than is Secretary Long
but he falls short OF doing full justice
and avoids conflict with the naval
clique.
The country. however has decided
the issue. The average American is
just as capable of understanding the
conditions that prevailed at Santiago
as President Roosevelt The Ameri-
can people know that Sampson was
eighteen miles away when the battle
begun. and that the last Spanish ship
had surrendered to Schley before
Sar pson returned. These are the facts.
4he people know who is the victor Of
Santiago
