WHEAT AND THE FUTURE.

n sounds strange to hear anyone
advising the American farmer 10
adopt european methods Of farming
to secure larger crops and to prevent
the enormous losses from waste ana
careless methods. But that is tne
situation which confronts the farmers
of the United States, whose zone
best bet" Of James J. Hill Is TO DC
believed, would appear to be 10
raise the largest possible crops OF
wbeat rather than to follow any
such short-sighted policy as a cur
tailment Of wheat acreage. The out
look for the future for some years
to come is for high prices for wheat.
Mr.. Hill estimates the annual
wheat yield to be 650,O0O,OOO BUSH
els. basing his estimate on omcial
figures. The highest yield during
the past ten years was 74S,46O'2lS
bushels in 1901 and the lowest was
522.229,5O5 in 1900; the total for
the ten years was 6,411,6O5,SsS, ana
the average GAL, t6O,5S9. Mr.. Hill
predicts that the census next year
will show a population of 9O,OOO,OOO
people. which does not appear to be
too high. For domestic use Mr. Hill
estimates a requirement OF 6SO'OOV'-
600 bushels of wheat which leaves
a very precarious margin for export
whereas the annual export has been
for the past few years 12O,OOO'OOO
bushels.
The American farmer is CONFRONTED
with the choice of raising more wnea'
and putting prices down to a sligh'
extent or curtailing his yield anc
keepig prices up. II the question
were entirely in the American farm
ers' hands, the conditions would b'
little less than alarming for the con
sumers of wheat, with Europe piu
ding up prices to secure q supply e
meet It's needs. But there are manl
millions Of acres Of wheat lands II
this country and in Canada, 10 say
nothing Of the constantly increased
wheat acreage of other countries
There also remain the sources o
supply from the available increase II
wheat acres in sections employed
in raising other crops and from thu
adoption Of more scientific methods
any expansion Of area. From what
resulting in a larger yield withou
ev standpoint the next few years ar
would appear to be assured OF gcc'
prices for wheat and prices whicl
cannot be materially affected by hi
utmost endeavors to raise all tn
wheat he can. The man who has t

Spanish is the almost universal tongue.
From force Of this training he speaks

Il Of American parentage are wiling
to believe be is a Spaniard, merely
from hearing him talk. he Is 90 per
fectiy bilingual that It shows even in

nsh speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his conversing with his mouth
alone. Only in case Of making q point
most emphaticaIly does he use a ges-
ture. But the moment he drops into
Spanish his every word Is accompa-
MED by a movement Of the hands or

Great wars. pregnant with bioodshed

have very often been the outcome Of
triding incidents which might, had they
been treated properly, have been
smoothed over and the slaughter avert

lost his life IN France through his
horse treading on q redhot cinder
while he was experimenting the burn

the fact which gave rise to the cam

During the latter part Of his reign
he became abnormally stout and con-
sequently the laughingstock Of not
only his subjects. but his neighbors
across the water. One day his con-

him to a fIlet Of veal on casters and
