AYearof 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
bulletins. Secretary Wilson talks
glibly Of crops of corn and wheat
and other things that run 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 if stretched
out in straight line. He always
deals in superlatives, for he writes
of the biggest neutrality-suspicious.
in the biggist agricultural country
on earth. The theme of his Septem-
ber crop report is particularly in
spring, for it appears to be almost
certain that this is to be record
year for crops of several kinds.
The indicated yield of corn is the
largest on record. being 2,716,918,-
600 bushels, which is greater by
200, ,0S0,000 bushels than the crop of
the previous record year, 1902. At
prevailing prices the value of this
corn crop is 81, 1876, ,443,920. We
are also to have q bumper wheat
crop. The indicated yield is 7O4,-
447, 900 bushels, which is only As,
100000 bushels less than the record
crop of 1901. At the current price

60 its value ia $6O5, ,844,42Q. The

eight feet because Of the peculiar
construction of the ditch. 1t was
claimed that permanent dam would
be required to divert the water if the
proposed change were made aud this
dam would endanger the surround
ing country.
Judge Dixon held that there was
no foundation for such q claim, as
he held the evidence showed that il
care were taken in keeping the
ditch and dam in condition the
Booth ditch could be supplied if the
river ouly carried enough water to
afford its eight feet.
The most vigorous objection was
raised by the ditch owners in dis
trict IL above Adobe They set up
the claim that if the petitioners
headgate remained at Boone it will
take water from a volume made up
Of the natural flow OF the water pass
ing Adobe with the increased supply
afford cd by the contributions of the
St. Charles, the Fountain, Beaver
Greek and Hsrdscrabble creek, with
the addition Of seepsge between the
two points, while if the water we're
taken from Adobe the petitioner
would take water from the natural
flow of the stream at Adobe alone.
Judge Dixon held that there was
no merit in these objections for the
reason that the tributaries referred
to provide only enough water for the
DEGREES along their length when con-
ditions are normal, and that the wa
ter they empty into the river is OF
no value in food time as the Arkan
sas is then full. II they were per.
ennial streams, he said, the protests
would present serious question.
The court also granted the petit
ton asking for the right to transfer
twenty feet of water from the EI-
celsior ditch, eight miles east of Pu-
eblo, to the Bessemer ditch, twelve
miles west of tbe city. These rights
were secured by the Bessemer ditch
by purchase. The Booth ditch own
ers also excepted to this ruling and
filed notice Of appeal.

oats crop is estimsted to be worth
$274, 100000. giving a total value of
the three crops of $2,O75, ,9S9, $40,
truly q staggering sum. It is three
times the amount of the national
bonded debt and twice tho amount
Of the total public debt.
This is not all Of the story, for the
minor crops are showing up proper
tionately as large. Barley shows a
condition of 87.S as against ten
year average of S3.4; rye a condi
tion Of 9O.S against ten-year aver
age Of S5.8; buckwheat condition
of 91.8 against a ten year average
of SS; fax = condition of 94.2 against
a ten-year average of 88; potatoes q
condition of 500 against a ten year
average Of 802.
Somebody with q knsck for figures
has estimated that the railroads must
provide moving facilities for 1,5OO,-
600 carloads of grain, which is only
the part of the crop not consumed
on the farm. If all this grain should
be marketed at once it would require
a solid train of freight cars, with
81 800 locomotives, which would ex-
tend 9 distance of 1925 miles, or
half way around the earth. These
cars and engines would make four
continuous trains reaching from New
York to San Francisco.
1t is impossible to appreciate the
magnitude of our agricultural pro-
ducts without resort to such compsr-
isons, and even these give on made
quate ideas of what it all means
When we begin to talk of billions of
bushels the mind is lost in q mathe-
msticsl maze, and figures themselves
mean very little. Such a corn crop
cannot fail to add materially to the
already abundant prosperity of the
country.-Ex.
