Wheat Estimates.

H. v. Jones, of Minneapolis, who is
An acknowledged authority upon CROP
reports, makes the following esti-
mates:
The wheat production of Minnesota
and the two Dakotas for 1908 is 49,
OOO,O 900 bushels less than in 1902. This
reduction is in part due to q decrease
of acreage and in part to a decreae
of average yield. The acreage decrease
is about 100000, which, on the basis
of the computed average yield this
year, is equal to 100000 bushels;
the decrease in average of yield is
equivalent to 1875 bushels an acre, or
about 100000 bushels, at total of
2S,OOO,OOO bushels.
The amount of old wheat carried
over to the new crop is estimated at
100000 less than for the previous
year, or 100000, thus reducing the
available northwest supply to 100000
600 less than last year.
The feature of interest in the north
west crop, this year is the loss OF
wheat acreage. The total is comput-
ed here at 100000 acres less than last
year. The difficulty of arriving at a
satisfactory conclusion on this point
is admitted, but these figures are be-
lieved to be conservative and safe. The
reduction of 100000 acres last year
is fully sustained by the distribution.
The ared, condition, average yield
and total yields promised are as fol-
lows:

THE PRESIDENT NEEDLES.

What viii the president NEEDLE in next?
When there seemed to be O prospect that
Senator Platt might have trouble in the
New York legislature the president offered
his services but was kindly though firmly
directed by the wise old boss to attend to
his executive duties.
Then he caused it to be known IN Col
orado that he favored the election of VOL
colt as senator in place Of Teller and no
doubt encouraged BIessrs. Hanna and Aid
rich to send a message of practical coercion
OF republican recalcitrauts
His latest Interference is in the Utah en-
atorial situation. Senator Eeagns of Utah
has just stated in an interview that last
month the president preached tine subject
to him and made him the bearer of mes
sage to Mr. Reed smoot the Mormon cen.
didate for the senatorship Mr. Kcaras acys
that the president and Senator Hanna CONE
missioued him to see Smoot and protest
against his candidacy. As late as last week
the president sent another message TO the
same effect by one of Shoots friends
Mr.. Smoot is o Mormon apostle and his
election will undoubtedly revive the dis
agreeable discussions that arose over the
Roberts case In the house. 1t may be con
coded that he is an unfit person to sit in
the United states senate. But that does
not warrant the presidents interference.
Utah is a sovereign State and has a right to
choose its own officers. Besides the SON
ate is quite capable of protecting itself from
the pollution of polygamy which Smoot ia
supposed TO represent in doctrine and prac.
tice.
