from Crop Experts.

Most OF the states Of the union felt
the unusually severe winter of 1867,
and the effects of the succeeding late
spring were everywhere apparent.
Corn was planted two and sometimes
three times, the winter wheat suffered
and generally there was a nervous
feeling as the retarded growth was in
evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas
the feeling of dread existed, and the
fears were entertained that the crop of
corn, wheat, oats and barley would
be distinct failure. How far this was
the case Is best left to those who
passed through the experience. Natur-
ally the same conditions were preva-
lent throughout the province of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, in
western Canada, and with from $780,
600 to 100000 farmers there from the
United States large degree Of inter
est was manifest in almost every state
OF the union, for every state has some

was a nervous one and caused consid-
cradle indecision on the part Of friends
and others intending to follow. Those
Interested in injuring the country cir
culated stories of ruin and disaster,
but the effect was lost, as 1t had been
long enough in the limelight to prove
its high standing amongst the agri-
cultural sections OF the continent. The
heavy strain placed upon it was not
too great; it has shown that the faith
placed in it has been warranted. and
1t Is this year producing undoubted ev-
idence that In agricultural possibili-
ties and resources 1t stands among the
first of food producers. A late spring
delayed seeding from the usual early
April period until late in May, and in
many cases well on into June. And
with what result? II is little early
to tell the result, but that there will

closed yesterday at s111ih per bushel,
Fort william delivery. Tho cost OF freight
and handling for wheat strikes an aver
age OF lie per bushel for the whole west.
This means that the average price to the
farmer for contract wheat all over the
prairie country is exactly 81 per bushel.
The farmers have been looking for the
day when dollar wheat would rule and
they have 1t now. Some old wheat Is still
coming forward from the elevators and
little of last years crop remains In the
hands of the farmers. This nearly all
grades up to the contract and 1t means
a great gain for those who held IT. The
new wheat Is still grading very high,
when one considers the conditions under
which Ii was produced. Out of 459 cars,
32S in two days contained wheat which
would answer for delivery on contracts.
In other words over 100000 bushels OF
wheat which would bring the farmers an
average OF about 81 per bushel, reached
Winnipeg in two days The significance
of 100000 worth of wheat being passed
by the inspectors in two days at the close
OF an admittedly unfavorable season
should not be allowed to sink out OF
sight at a time when returns from agri-
cultural activity In the west are being
anxiously awaited. These figures do not
take account Of the lower grades, or
which there were 1871 cars More than one
third of these contained milling wheat.
which would remunerate the farmer at
the rate of 93c per bushel on the basis
of to-day's closing figures. The balance
consisted of low grade stuff which would
vary greatly in quality and would show
great Spreads in prices.
THE approximate value of the two
days receipts of wheat. however would
be more than 100000 calculating the ca
pacity of car at 1000 bushels and elm.
mating the cost of freight and handling
As many of the modern cars contain
more than 1000 bushels and as the freight
rate to Fort William is less than l5c
per cwt. on most of the wheat which is
now coming forward, the estimate of
900 Is low. The circulation of $780,
900 per day among the farmers will not
continue for the whole year. of course.

VIII Chance sneed Limit.

The Nebraska railroad commission
decided to modify the Missouri Pa
ciflc speed limit order promulgated
OIL the recommendation OF Commission
er Williams. Hcnceforth on certain
stretches of the Missouri Pacific track
in Nebraska, the engineer may pull
the throttle to q 45-mile an hour notch.
This was brought about by the plea
Of the engineers and conductors OF the
road, who showed the first order was
unjust to them and to the road. Their
earnings are based on mileage, and
the reduction of running speed to rs
miles an hour, 1t was said. would cut
their wages to point below cost Of
living. They said some OF the track be.
tween Kansas and Omaha Is fit for a
6o-nile clip, while at other places 10
miles an hour IL all it will bear.
All who appeared before the com.
mission were men who had been in
the employ of the road for more than
twenty years, and they assured the
commissioners they were not misrep.
resenting conditions at all in their re.
quest They said records would show
not single passenger was injured on
the Missouri Pacific road in the state
and that as compared with other
roads, they were noted for exercising
greatest care in operation. It has
been their custom to watch for bad
places in the track and to warn trains
they passed Of the same.
