Canadian Wheat Still Back in First
Hands Less Than for Several
Years.
Improved Facilities Enabled Far
mers and Country Men to
Clean Up Closely.

1t Is the opinion of men in the grain trade
who keep an eye on the Canadian northwest that
the stocks of old wheat still in the hands of
farmers across the line are much less than is
generally supposed. There is thought to be
surprise In store for the grain trade that will
come later. The Canadian northwest does not
have the facilities for obtaining the regular and
accurate reports Of changes in country stocks
that maintain here The secretary of the Mime
apolis Chamber Of Commerce can show pretty ac-
curately every month what there is in country
houses. and local grain firms make their own
estimates as to wheat remaining in the hands of
farmers. The secretary of the Winnipeg Grain
Exchange covers his field thoroly and accurately
but has difficulties to contend with much greater
than exist IN the older settled territory south Of
the line. Several Winnipeg grain men have been
In Minneapolis within day or two and all ex-
pressed the opinion that the reports concerning
the old wheat remaining unsold in Manitoba. will
be surprising when they come out. h
Two years. ago., when Manitoba and the north
western territories raised a big crop, there was
the greatest difficulty in getting the grain to
market. owing to Inadequate elevator and railroad
facilities. Consequently June 1, in the follow
ing year. there was, according to some esti-
majors, over 40 per cent Of the old wheat still
back in first hands. This idea Of enormous stocks
lying back eight and ten months after harvest
has become fixed in the minds Of many who
will be surprised to know that the Canadian
northwest is more closely cleaned up on old
wheat than at this date for several years. The
statistics Of the grain movements in and out Of
Port Arthur and Fort William show an enormous
increase. some grain has gone out by other chan
nels and much has been consumed. One Cana
dian grain man thinks not over Is or 20 per cent
OF the old wheat is back in the country.
Watson & Co. had the following this morning
from Winnipeg bearing on the matter:
Last years crop is nearly all marketed and
the indications that the mills will need ali
that remains and even more from the farmers.
Elevator people in previous seasons have not
been selling all their wheat In the country owing

& New York, May 19.-John G. Brecken-
ridge. chief engineered the Brooklyn Rap
i'd Transit company, who for three years
has been aiding the growth Of his vege
tables in the garden behind his residence
at Richmond Hill. Long Island, with cleo
tricity. expects better results this year
than he has. yet obtained.
1--WE raise two crops in the time Of one
simply from knowing how to do it, said
Mr.. breckenridge. 1--WE now use few
lights. Instead there are underground
wires that develop vegetables, fruit trees
and even plants and flowers faster even
than the lights did.
I'VE have learned that5a, mild electrical
current passing near the roots Of a plant
will so greatly invigorate 1t as to hasten
its growth 100 per cent or more. One
way in which the underground application
is materially better than the shedding Of
light rays on vegetables is the warming
and drying Of the ground around vege-
tables that require but little moisture
potatoes, for instance.
