GRAIN FARMING
Increase and Concentration of the
Dat Crop In the East.

In the cat crop of New York and
Pennsylvania we have another illustra-
ton of the ability of the older states
to maintain their grain production, not
withdrawing western competition ana
the immense increase of home popula-
ton, with the consequent withdrawal
Of farm lands for gardening, fruit
growing, residence and ornamental
uses. At only one census has the com
bined crop of these two states failed to
show an increase over that AT the pre-
ceding census-namely, in 1880 as com
pared with 1s70-and the census of 1880
has been subjected to perhaps as much
criticism as any other. In spite OF this
slight temporary decrease the oat fig
ures from these two states show such
q stability and gradual increase that II
taken by themselves no one would sus-
pect that outside production had infu-
enced them. Their combined produc-
ton for six census years in round num-
bers is as follows: In 1850, 4S.1 million
bushels 1850, 62.e; 1870. Ill, 1880
Tia; 1890, 751, and In 1900, $50 mil
lion bushels. These figures are In mark
ed contrast with those for barley and
in themselves quite similar to those for
buckwheat. especially as showing an
actual increase In New York and Penn
sylvania In the face Of general east
ern decline, another instance OF the
tendency to concentration 80 marked
In our recent agricultural history.
where nearly reached the limit Of west
ern surplus production but we have
probably passed the stage OF most op-
pressiyely low western prices. The con
dition of the American meat market
precludes the idea that we shall see a
permanent material cheapening Of a
staple feeding grain In the Atlantic
coast markets except In sympathy
with a general decline In prices. It
seems fair TO assume therefore that
while the enstern barley crop has final
ly broken Down under pressure from
the west and while in buckwheat east
ern supremacy Is more pronounced
than ever before the cat crop contln-
ues comparatively stable. and farmers
are gradually growing larger crops with
a reasonable prospect OF continuing to
do SO.
This increasing production and con
centration in eastern states Is the more
remarkable In the light of the rise II
the national yield per capita. Fifty
years ago the country had 6.32 bushels
and in 1900 1910 bushels per capita.
The per capita increase OF oats Is prac-
tlcally the same as that of wheat and
far larger than that of corn, which Is
further proof Of the heavy proportion
which must have been put on the mar
ket. and in the light of these facts It
would seem that no eastern man who
has found 1t to his advantage TO raise
oats up to the present need have any
fear as to the future of this particular
part of his farming for this surplus
from the newer states Will not now in
crease faster than the growth Of the
cities will absorb lt.-Country Gentle

commander in chief heard how one of
his most trusted subordinates. a man
whom he regarded as a confirmed
bachelor, had fallen victim to the fas-

two were in the habit of quietly meet

as to q guarantee
Both managers were afraid that a
visit to Savannah to play the game
would occasion a financial loss, and
charleston is not disposed to meet
Jacksonville's demands in the way of
q guarantee. There is little doubt but
that game between these two teams
played in Savannah would draw he
tween 1880 and 1000 people. winch
would be more than ample to meet All
expenses, and leave a good profit ON
the side.

smaller salary than he will command
with the Pretzels. He was not reserv-
ed by Mr.. Boyer, having been permit
ted to strike out the reserve clause in
his contract, but he has not received
an offer to play with Savannah at any
price.
The supposition here is that Mr..
Boyer will manage the team himself
next season. and did not think he
could afford to pay Mullaney the SAL
airy he was entitled to. Null will Join
the Montgomery team early in March.

ing monarchs. The people of Copen-
hagen betray no surprise when they
see their venerable ruler approaching
and they treat his appearance in the
street as one of the ordinary daily
incidents. King Christian takes his
walks abroad quite informally and
without ceremony. Frequently he stops
and exchanges unaffected greetings
with passers-by. Indeed, but for the
lifting of hats or other salutations as
he proceeds along the street the unin-
formed observer would never take the
stately, white-haired man with the
kindly face to be a king.
