A YEAR OF Big CROPS.

The Department of Agriculture Is
the one branch of the Government
that never fails to supply interesting
reading matter in it's reports and bull
letins. Secretary Wilson talks glibly
of crops of corn and wheat and other
things that runs up into the hundreds
of millions of bushels: he tells how
many cars it would take to haul these
crops and how far these cars would
reach il stretched out in a straight
line. He always deals in superla-
tives, for he writes of the biggest
industry agriculture-in the biggest
agricultural country on earth. The
theme of his September crop report is
particularly inspiring, for it appears
to be almost certain that this is to be
a record year for crops of several
kinds.
| The indicated yield of corn is the
largest on record, being 2,716,9lS,OO0
bushels, which is greater by 2,OO0,01oo1H
bushels than the crop Of the previous
record year 1902. At prevailing prices
the value of this corn crop is 81, 1885,
443,92O. We are also to have BUM
per wheat crop. The indicated yield
is 7O4,447 900 bushels which is only
$4,000 bushels less than the record
crop of 1901. At the current price Of
wheat at the May delivery in Chicago
it's value is $6O5, S44, 42O. The oat crop
is estimated to be worth TATTOO, 900
giving total value of the three crops
of $2,O75, $780, $40, truly a staggering
sum. 1t is three times the amount OF
the national bonded debt and twice
the amount of the total public debt.
This is not all the story, or the
minor crops are showing up proper
donately as large. Barley shows a
condition of S7.S as against ten year
average of 1914 rye a condition Of COS
against ten year average of 65.S;
buckwheat a condition of 91.S aginss
a ten year average of 88; flax a con-
dition of 942 against ten years av-
erage of SO; potatoes condition Of
500 against ten year average OF SO.2.
Somebody with knack for figures
has estimated that the railroad must
provide moving facilities for 1,5OO.-
900 carloads of grain, which is only
the par tot the crop not consumed
ON the farm. If all the grain should
be marketed at once it would require
solid train of freight cars, with
1880 locomotives, which would ex.
tend q distance of 1926 miles. or
half way around the earth. These
cars and engines would make four con
tinuous trains reaching from New
York to San Francisco.
1t is impossible to appreciate the
magnitude Of our agricultural products
without resort to such comparisons
and even these give an inadequate idea
of what it all means. When we be
gin to talk of billions of bushels the
mind is lost in a mathematical maze
and figures themselves very little
Such a crop cannot fail to add ma
terially to the already abundant pros
perity of the country.-Exchange.

Change of Literary Field

Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield, wife
of Rear Admiral Crowninshield, u.
s. N, (retired), and the author of
several charming books of fiction, has
entered new field of literary work
and written a comic opera entitled
Edward England. 1" Mrs. Crownin-
shield once before wrote an opera. but
book and score were destroyed in q
fire in the New York navy yard several
years ago, and she had no duplicates.
The story of the opera deals with the
adventures of the bold pirate, Eng
land, and the romance Of the early
eighteenth century period is strongly
reflected in it. Mrs. Crowninshield
is well known here.
