this matter.

also the Resurrection. Every great re-

Minnesota Raises 200 Bushels of the
 Grain for vermont's One.
 The Northwestern Miller issues wheat map of the United States which shows some startling compari- sons.
 Vermont was once the granary of New York City. It now produces only one bushel of wheat for more than POO in Minnesota, the banner State.
 Rochester was once known as the "Flour city" Now 1t Is called the "Flower city" But New York still raises as much wheat as Wisconsin. Maryland produces more than either; Texas nearly twice as much and Penn- sylvania three times as much. Only eight States surpass Pennsylvania in wheat-raising.
 Kansas produces nearly as much wheat as both the Dakotas, which are States.
 Only trhe more than half of the wheat crop grows west of the Missis- sippi. Illinois. Indiana and Ohio still produce S0000,000 bushels, which is more than any far Western State, and over one-eighth of the whole crop.
 Little Delaware raises more wheat than all New England. Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina raise 35000,000 bush els
 New York is the second four-mill- ing center in the United States, though far behind Minneapolis, which can grind S2,000 barrels of four to New York's 14,000.

At the recent opening Of the govern
ment land in the Rosebud Indian reser-
walton in South Dakota, 12O young wo-
men were among those who drew fine
homesteads, and the land commission
er of South Dakota says he is flooded
with letters from men in all parts of
the Union proposing matrimony to
these fortunate young women. In CIV
ing out the statement to the press re-
garding these matrimonial proposals.
the commissioner says that he has re-
c.ived letters from every state and
territory in the Union except Maine
and Arizona. The absence of such
proposals from Arizona is probably ac-
counted for by the sparse population
of that region, but the failure of the
men of Maine to contribute their quota
to this avalanche of letters may be ac-
cepted as an unqualified compliment to
the young women of this State.
