ESTIMATING THE WHEAT.
Probabilities of tn. Outcome Of Very
Interesting Season.

Probabilities of ths Outcome Of Very
Interesting Season.
The wheat season starts with small
9r reserves even than in the famous
year 1897, when low supplies of old
wheat. followed by a 30 per cent short
age in the European crop and
10O.000,O0O bushel increase in our own.
had some remarkable financial results.
This means a sure and quick market
for the new crop. 1t is impossible as
yet to estimate the probable foreign
wheat harvest of 1909; latest advices
Indicate that. while the crop in France,
England and Russia will be sufficient,
Germany and the Danube states have
Jared badly so that the total European
crop will hardly match the abundant
yield of 1905 and 1906 The obvious
meaning of such situation is that
surplus as the American market can
spare and must pay fair prices for it.
Had the winter wheat estimate of
Aug II confirmed the 400000.00O
bushel prediction current few weeks
before. instead of raising the calcula-
ton to 432.000000. and had the spring
wheat promise been in any way seri-
ously impaired the country would
scarcely have escaped a later repeti-
ton of the Chicago speculation of last
May and our export trade would have
been greatly restricted. But 100000
extra bushels make a considerable diff
ference.
1t still remains to see what happens
to our spring wheat crop and to for
eign crops in the two remaining
months. But as matters stand, how
ever, there are several reasonable in
ferences:
First. the American farmer will sell
an abundant wheat crop at highly
remunerative prices; second. those
prices are not likely to go again to
the famine figure" which will impose
hardship on consumers; third, the
railways will have the average amount
of wheat to transport to market;
fourth, our export Of wheat and -four,
which in the past twelve months was
cut down 100000 bushels from the
year before and 31,0O0,000 from two
years ago. should be increased by
twenty-five to forty millions, thereby
helping our market for international
exchange and at the same time easing
the strain on Europe's wheat trade.

CORN AND FODDER TIME.
Progressive Farmers Cure the Crop as
They Do Wheat.

Progressive Farmers Cure the Crop as
They Do Wheat.
All through August and far into the
the corn harvest will be under way.
In the south it is called fodder pull
ing time" Wherever corn is grown
the season for gathering it in is al
ways interesting. There seems to be
more sentiment in the corn harvest
than in any other. At the same time the
work of stripping corn from the stalk
and in stacking the fodder shocks is
not altogether play. The progressive
farmers of the northern and middle
states are more expert in the saving of
fodder than are the farmers of the
south. The plan is simple. They cut
down the stalks, blades and all, and
cure them in the shocks as many farm
ers do with their wheat and oats.
Many southern farmers have tried
the plan of cutting and curing in
shocks and afterward swapping off the
ears and shredding the blades and
stalks.
For a year or two the plan was very
popular. 1t looked as if it would be al
most universally adopted. Those who
were fortunate in getting first class
shredding machines and who exercised
ordinary judgment and skill in han
ding the corn crop in this way were
delighted with their experience, and
many are still following the practice.
For ten or twelve years the Georgia
experiment station has practiced the
cutting and shocking and shreddina
system, and this plan is still pursued
with satisfaction. One or two years
