amount of spring wheat raised annu-
ally greatly exceeded that of winter
wheat. Now the reverse is true The
change has been gradual, but the
trend unmistakable until now it is
generally recognized that the future
bread supply must be looked for in
the winter wheat districts. Many
states that ten and twenty years ago
were large producers of spring wheat
have. since been forced to abandon the
crop as Improbable. Commencing in
New York state and proceeding west
until Kansas and Nebraska have been
crossed 1t has been the experience of
all the states that after few good
crops of spring wheat when the land
was new, the yield gradually dimin-
ished until the point was reached
where its production was no longer
profitable. 1t is also true that the
per-acre yield of spring wheat is con-
stantly diminishing in Minnesota and
the Dakotas and also in the British
possessions further north. It is now
believed by the best authorities that
this condition will continue, and that
the future supply of spring wheat is
more likely to diminish than to in
crease notwiths landing the vast acre
age of new land that is being brought
under cultivation.
On the other hand it has been dem
onstrated that winter wheat can be
successfully raised on the same land
indefinitely SO long as the fertility of
the soil is preserved through crop
rotation and the addition of manure
or other fertilizing agents. Just how
far north winter wheat may be sue
cessfully grown is not yet known. 1t
has been demonstrated, however, that
winter wheat can be successfully
grown in large portion of South Da-
kota and that it's limits are not yet
determined. But while it is yet wholly
a matter of experiment as to how far
north the winter wheat belt may ex-
tend, it is an established fact that that
cereal can be successfully grown and
with great profit in all parts Of the
state of Nebraska, and that the per-
acre yield of the state exceeds that
of any other portion of the Missouri
valley.
In view of the foregoing facts. Ne
braska only requires an even chance
with other states in the matter of
transportation charges to offer the
most inviting field for investment in
| Touring mills. If the rate bill passed
at the last session of the United States
congress is properly enforced and is
! supplemented by a state law fixing
just rates within the state and COM
| pelling uniform service for all by
common carriers, Touring mills ought
to spring up all over the state of Ne
braska in sufficient number and ca
pacity to consume the home supply
of wheat, greatly to the profit of both
the mill owner and the farmer.
THE NEGRO PROBLEM
The independent., 1906-12-06

ana the DOCKS OF heaven are balanced
on the crime of our fathers against
God and humanity
The negro problem is one to be ap-
proved in a spirit of meekness and
humility, reverently bowing before the
throne of infinite wisdom and mercy
in supplication for a salvation that
will save in honor our nation and our
race. The problem is of the most
perpleXing nature, and will tax the
wisdom and virtue of our people in
its solution beyond any other they
may ever be called upon to deal with.
The developments of the past two de-
cades give warning of an impending
rupture between the races in the
south that will involve the nation,
and no one has yet been able to offer
even suggestion to relieve apprehen.
sion of the worst, when that dreaded
day arrives
1t is not premature, then, that at
tention should be called to the negro
question in order that the intellect
and conscience of the nation may duly
consider and weigh the duties and
responsibilities it imposes and be pre-
pared to discharge them in a manner
that will be creditable to our Christian
civilization
Races that are distinct and widely
dissimilar are natural enemies. The
law of nature that interdicts assimi-
lation has for alternatives separation,
subjugation and slavery or annihila-
tion for the weaker one Such is the
lesson of history. Who, then, can
view with Indifference the cloud that
is lowering over fourteen of our states
threatening to soon break into a storm
of relentless fury, the consequences
of which cannot be thought of without
shudder and chill that maketh the
heart sick. We fain would turn from
this picture if we might. But coward
ice will neither avoid nor mitigate the
terror of the storm that has already
began to beat against our doors.
There are over 100000 persons Of
African blood within our borders.
| Eight million of these reside in the
former slave states of the south, and
one million in the balance of the coun-
| try Eight million are of full blood
| African descent and one million are of
mixed blood One half of the entire
| number are found in the six states of
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina TAX
| ing these six states together majority
of the population is black. In South
| Carolina, according to the census of
1900 there were 557,321 whites and
! 7S2,321 blacks. The same census
gives the whites of Mississippi as
| OH ,AUU anu Iu0 DldChS DIS JUi ,O0U. lie
blacks in Georgia alone considerably
exceed million in number, there be-
| ing but little difference numerically
between the races in that state. The
| foregoing terrible facts have a mean
ing and portent that the people of the
north little = understand, but which
hangs like pail over the state of the

| being the labOrer of the south other
labor avoids that section of the coun-
try. Therefore several states of the
south seem to be doomed to fall COM
pletely under the numerical predomi-
nance of the blacks, unless white
laborers can be attracted into that
region for the purpose of establishing
homes therein. OF this there appears
to be little room for hope because
of the natural and unbridgeable gulf
that separate the races.
The kindly feeling that formerly ex-
listed between the whites and blacks
in the south is rapidly giving way to
mutual antagonfsm and race hatred
of a forbidding character that practi.
cally closes the door of hope of flu
ture peace between the races. This
condition is traceable to the new re-
| latiOnS the races sustain to each
other as independent competitive in
dustrial units wherein the members
of the two races are so segregated
that the children of each are no longer
! playmates as was the case under the
old regime. The former bridge of
affection and intimacy is gone for
ever and the widening of the racial
| gulf is augmenting daily. The toller-
ance, patience and love of the south
ern white man of the generation that
is passing away, for his old negro
nanny and for the children of his
negro nanny who were his playmates
from babyhood up, finds no counter
part in the new relation of the whites
and blacks of the south. Thus what
1 once constituted source of mutual
affection and understanding no longer
exists to bridge the natural chasm of
divergent racial characteristics.
Thus the gulf between the races is
widening and racial antipathy grow
ing. Mutual confidence is displaced
by race jealousy, and reason is giving
way to passion, all of which fill the
future with evil forebodings.
The problem presented is not one
to be dismissed idly. Neither is it
one to be approached in passion, be-
cause the responsibility for the pres
ence of the black man rests upon
the white man. The black man did
| not seek our shores of his own voli.
ton. He is no more to blame for his
presence among us that he is for the
{ color of his skin. But he is here and
, there is not ships enough in the world
to deport him if he were willing to
accept deportation as solution of the
question. How, then, shall he be dealt
with is the question that challenges
the craftsmanship, philanthropy and
: Christianity of the age.
The recent widespread resentment
!, of the colored race against the order
of President Roosevelt for the dismis-
, sal of colored troops for unsoldierly
, conduct, in murderous rioting in
southern city, is an exhibition of un-
warranted distrust of the President
J against whom there is no ground for
the charge of race prejudice. The
