Americas Giant Crops.

The following interesting facts con-
corning the cereal crops of the United
States were taken from an article en-
titled. What American Crops Mean to
the World" by Frank Fayant in the
October Success:
Between the two oceans we raise
one-fifth of the worlds wheat, four
fifths of its corn, one-fourth of its oats,
and four-fifths of it's cotton. This har-
vest is the foundation of our prosper
ity.
Agriculture this year will add
81 200, 100000 to the country's wealth,
and foreign customers will pay us not
far from s900.000.000 for our agricul-
tural products shipped to them over
the sea-
The West, with its billion dollar
corn crops, its half million dollar
wheat crops, its quarter million dollar
oat crops, has been the country's bull
wark in the storms of inflated finance
All the gold in America-the great
est hoard of the yellow metal ever
gathered in any country-could not
buy one years harvest of our corn and
wheat. To buy one seasons wheat
crop would take all the gold mined in
this country in six years. In the past
seven years all the gold mines have
only produced enough to buy one
years yield of our six leading cereals.
1t Is the American farmer who has
paid off our huge Indebtedness to Erl-
rope, who has brought back our secur-
tiles from foreign banks and who has
sent American capital around the
world looking for investment.
In the past three years. while our ex-
ports have averaged more than 81. 400.-
100000 dollars. agriculture's share
in this trade has been. nearly 5000,
100000 dollars.
More than one-third of all our export
trade has been in the two great crops.
wheat and cotton.
Cotton Is assuming a more and more
important position in our foreign
trade. Our southern plantations. pro-
ducing all but a fifth of the cotton of
the world, have a monopoly of the
trade.
What England would do. and how
her people would subsist, il deprived
suddenly of her American source OF
supplies. it is difficult to imagine. 1t
is no secret in European politics that
England normally has in store only a
few weeks supply of food, and at times
the reserve would last only a few days.
Our home consumption of wheat for
food is about five and a quarter bush
els a year for each of our 81 100000 in
habitants. This per capita consump-
lion appears to be interesting. The
high prices of meats are probably In
.reasing the demand for bread.

OBEYED ORDERS
Russian Prisoners say Emperor Or
dsred Attack.-Reaiments Badly
Depleted in Number.

Toxic. Sept. 16--S p. m.-Accordine
to statements made by Russian prts-
oners. General Kuropatkin was ordered
by Emperor Nicholas to make a stand
at Mukden and to assume the aggros-
sive as speedily as possible. In order 70
relieve the Port Arthus garrison
This order. the prisoners say,
reached Mukden on September 9th.
and General Kuropatkin. in obediencs
to 1t. began his disastrous southern adj
vance movement An extended report
dealing with the statements OF tnesc
prisoners Is as follows;,
According to statements made to Of
ficers of the center army by Russian
prisoners whom they had captured, the
enemy had received information that
the strength of the garrison At Port
Arthur was being daily reduced and
that the garrison was in 4 disastrous
condition. Fresh Russian reinforce
ments were constantly arriving AZ
Manchria from Europe and the strength
of the forces under General Kuropatktn
in the neighborhoud Of MukdeD had
reached to over nine army corps.
"Thereupon. the prisoners said. the
Russian Emperor on Septemb 9th or
dered KuropatSin not to retire n step
beyond Mukden and directed him, cir
cumstances permitting to assume tho
offensive as quickly as possible and to-
drive the Japanese out OF southern
Manchuria, in order to rescue the Port
Arthur garrison.
THE prisoners declared that the war
would continue for long time because
tho Russians had decided to attain
final victory. regardless of the losses
which might be involved. as otherwise
n defeat would mean n general revolu-
ton and the disintegration of Russian
territory.
During one engagement the Thirty
seventh division, especially the First
brigade, sustained extraordinary losses.
The first company of the One Hundred
and Forty fifth regiment was annihiiated
on SanlSunihsi mountain and many line
officers were killed. wounded or cap
tured. The Third Siberian reserve d.
vision sustained the greatest loss.
AT the beginning of the war the
Russian regiments numbered 900 mon
each. After the battle Of LAO Yang
each OF the regiments was reduced to a
strength OF about $500, with the excep-
ton of the Twelfth regiment. which as
a result of this battle was reduced to
800. This regiment. after the battle,
was commanded by captain, the bat
talions being in command OF sub-lieu-
tenants. while the older privates d.
rected the operations of its companies"

Beet Pulp in Demand.

Some of the beet farmers in north
ern Colorado are complaining because
the sugar factories have disposed OF
all theii beet pulp for this season.
Mary of the farmers desire to have the
pulp made by their beets for feeding
purposes ard the claim is made that
the factories promised them the pulp
from their beets If they wanted 1t.
Last year, however, all the factories
had pulp left over and this year they
were taking no chances and contracted
the pulp to the first corners. This
year every pound of the pulp viii be
fed and the farmers want more. A
meeting of farmers was held in Fort
Collins a few days ago to protest
against the contracting Of the pulp
until they had had an opportunity to
secure what they want The factories
prefer to have the farmers feed the
uuIp on their places and thus secure
manure for their fields and it is prob
able that different arrangements will
be made hereafter.

TEN BADLY INJURED.
Accident to Denver Omnibus Party
Near Golden.


Denver. Oct 16.-A Golden dispatch
last night says: A bad accident oc-
CURED about four miles north of Golden
at Sis o'clock this afternoon, in which
David C. Ring and Miss Vera G. Daw-
son. teachers in the East Denver high
school, and Joseph Dennis, a Golden
liveryman. were badly injured.
This morning a party of teachers
from the East Denver high school came
up to Golden to enjoy a days outing.
During the forenoon they visited the
School of Mines and State Industrial
School, and about IL o'clock convey
ances were procured from Dennis &
Cunningham livery stable to take the
party out to the Glencoe stone quarries.
about five miles north of town, where a
picnic dinner was enjoyed.
When the start for home was .made,
Professor and Mrs. Garvin, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ring. Misses Dawson, Canon and
Wallace. Mr.. Potter and Mr.. Reed rode
in the large bus, Misses Dawson and
Wallace occupying the high outside
seat with the driver, Joseph Dennis,
one of the proprietors of the stable
from which the teams were obtained
After driving about a mile. at
sharp turn in the road, one of the
wheels struck rock. Mr.. Dennis and
the two ladies were thrown to the
ground. The team became frightened
and ran away. Being without driver,
the bus was overturned before going
fifty feet. The tongue broke and the
horses got loose from the vehicle, which
probably averted serious injury to the
entire party.
Miss Dawson was the most seriously
injured, two wheels of the heavy We
hicle having passed over her body Her
injuries are internal and are consid-
cred dangerous.
Mr.. Ring. who had both legs broken
above the knee. was trying to get out
of the vehicle when it fell on him, pin
ming him down.
Joseph Dennis. the driver, was also
run over. His right shoulder and arm
are badly lacerated and bruised, but no
bones were broken and he will probably
be out in few days
The other members of the party who
were in the vehicle, were all more or
less injured.
The escape of Miss Edith Wallace
from serious injury seems almost mir
aculous. The high seat on which she
and Miss Dawson were sitting was
about eight or ten feet from the ground,
but fortunately Miss Wallace fell far
enough away from the vehicle SO that
the wheels did not touch her
Mr.. Dennis is considered a most care
full driver and this is the first accident
he has ever had. although he has been
In the livery business here for fourteen
years.
An ambulance from Denver came up
after Miss Dawson and Mr.. Ring. the
other injured members of the party be-
Ing able to go home on the cars
Mr.. Ring died in the Homeopathic
hospital shortly after midnight.
