Gated crop this year, according to the
governments experts reports, will be
at least 100000 bales. It is likely
from the present outlook that this
crop will be marketed at not less than
IL cents pound, $65 bale, $3.50, 0O0,-
000-over $200,000,000 more than last
syear with but small increase in the
yield.
The wheat crop this year will be
at least 663,0OO,O00 bushels, and ex-
perts say that it is not likely to fall
below $1.10 bushel for long time
to come, That means $729,000,000
worth of wheat will soon be on the
way to the elevators. Last years
harvest was 660,0OO,0Oo bushels, and
it brought s62O,0O0,000, so the Ameri-
can wheat farmer will have 100000
900 more to spend from that source
than he did the year before.
The reason wheat is worth more
than a dollar bushel, which used
to be price that the farmers dreamed
of, is not because the crop in this
country is especially short. It is but
a little below the record crop of 1905.
But there has been shortage in the
wheat crop all over the world for

Last Wooden Spoon at Cambridge.
There were striking scenes at Cam

spoon awarded in connection with the
mathematical tripos was handed to
the winner, G. L. Holthouse of ST.
Johns. Ingenuity had been taxed to
its utmost to make this last celebra-

CONSUMPTION IS KEEPING
UP WITH PRODUCTION.

America exports only about per
cent of her corn. She sends seven
twelfths of her raw cotton to foreign
lands. The domestic consumption of
corn is more than keeping pace with
the huge increases in production.
Millions of bushels go to feed and fat
ten the cattle and hogs whose beef
and pork, grown on the western
prairies and slaughtered in Chicago,
feed the inhabitants of every corner
of the globe. But one of the chief
uses of corn has sprung up during the
last decade and has grown into an
immense industry. Millions and mill
ions of bushels are made into glucose,

ton goods by caravan from Alden and
the Red sea. The opening up of these
two great territories is among the
things that are likely to keep the
price of cotton up, no matter how
much is raised during the next few
years. Five years ago, when the gov:
ernment's cotton crop report estimat.
ing 12,162,000 bales was published,
the price of cotton dropped to 61a
cents pound. This year this same
production is regarded as very mod
crate. Thirteen million five hundred
thousand bales is the record crop. !
But the cotton fibre alone is not all
that comes from the plant. Twenty
five years ago the farmers used to
shovel the despised cotton seed into
the bayous, bury it in the earth, try
to burn it-anything to get rid Of it.
Now the cotton seed oil industry OF
this country is worth $1O0,O00,000 an:
nually, to say nothing of the other
by-products, cake meal and bulls.
FAILURE OF OLIVE CROP

Last year the European olive crop
failed. The devout Moslems of Tur.

GENERAL JACOB COxEY

Gen. Jacob Sechler Coxey, both free trader

Gen. Coxey advanced on Washington and ap

a protective duty on arsenic, just because he now

was for unrestricted free trade, also for free
meals for his army. He had promised to parade

steps, but brought only 1000, mostly buns Before

the last two years, and It looks as il
this years yield was going to be scant
also. Outside OF America, Europe de-
ponds largely on the vast wheat
fields OF the Argentine for her bread.
Thirty per cent. less wheat was sown
there this year than last, and it is
estimated that the yield will be 50,-
100000 bushels less. All this benefits
the American farmer.
The American farmer will get over
$6O,O00,O00 more for his crop Of oats
this year than he did last. In 1908
the yield was 789, 100000 bushels, and
it sold for 100000 This years
estimate is &c., 000, 900 bushels, which
at the minimum price of 40 cents a
bushel would bring in the huge sum
of $385,00O.000 Only about million
and a half bushels of oats are ex-
ported. Not all the rest goes to feed
horses and cattle by any means. The
100000 automobiles in this country
have cut down the number of horses
and the consumption of oats CORE
spondingly. This decrease has been
more than made up, however, by HUI
man beings eating more oats than
they used to. Many of the cereal

and their consumption in that way

Sir Henry w. Lucy, as he now is entitled to be

known, this being his signature to the work he
has done for Punch, descriptive of parliamentary
happenings, since 1881. Punch, like the London
Times, may perhaps be called British institd-
ton, rather than British journal. Its humor not
always is relished by Americans, to many of
whom it ordinarily seems dull and ponderous.
But Punch is a political and social power wher-

PHOENIZ, AriZ., Jan 29.-It is
reported that charges have been filed
at Washington against Governor Kib-

judge of the district court at Flor4

20 years ago, he changed the court
records. Ii is alleged that photo

Francis J. Heney was defending

for alleged misconduct before a jury
in the Pinal county court Conclud-
ing later that Heneys conduct was
merely an Improperly and that the
censure administered was too severe,
he expunged the record without maxi
ing an order in open court to that
effect. Il
As the story is known in Arizona.
Heneys misconduct consisted in his
mixing with jurymen who had case
in hand in which he was interested
as attorney for the defense. Heney
met members of the jury in Flor
ence saloon one night during the
trial and drank freely with them. all
of the parties leaving the place in
the early morning much the worse
for liquor.
The matter was reported TO the
court with the inference that the
conduct of Heney had been for the
purpose of influencing the jurymen.
Heney maintained that the meeting
was not planned and that the sub
sequent drinking came about with
out any consideration whatever that
a part of the participants were jury
men.
Judge Kibbey at first declined to
accept the statement of Heney as
true. In the light of corroborative
stories which he later heard. how

had told the truth aud that his ac-
tions in the saloon in company with
