CROP ESTIMATES FOR 1903.
Final Estimate Given by Depart.
ment of Agriculture.

The final crop estimates for
the year 1905, as given out by
the department of agriculture
give the corn crop 100000 in.
crease in acreage, with a total
increase of IS million bushels
over that of last year. AS a
consequence the price of corn in
the Chicago pit has fallen off
several cents, the situation be-
ing construed as bearish, by
most of the professional specu
lators. In regard 10 this phase
of the situation, one of the crop
staticlans has the following to
say 1T is quite evident that
the enlarged figures are based
on a revision of the estimates of
previous years and do not indi-
cate an actual increase over the
area of 1907. The adverse char
acter of the painting season
makes It impossible to believe
that farmers were able to plant
a larger area of corn last spring
than in the preceding spring.
Crop statistics are of value only
by comparison, and therefore a
revision of estimates that makes
an apparent increase but does
not signify an ac,ual increase is
misleading. The final estimate
of this years corn crop is much
larger than that OF a year ago.
As a matter of fact, the crop
this year is probably somewhat
less than that of last year and a
proper revision by the Wash
ington bureau of statistics would
have shown this. When a re
vision is made that is in the ma.
ture of a correction of mistakes
in the preceding years. full pub
licity should be given to this

There is ii great deal of inquiry
aud agitation in progress Just now
concerning the material resources
of the country. There have been
several conventions in Washington
lately to discuss subjects Of that
sort. Several commissions a p
pointed by the president are en-
gagged in Investigations Of eondi-
tons, prospects and possibilities.
Agents of the interior and the
agricultural department, the fores-
try service, the reclamation SER
vice, the agricultural experiment
stations of the government and the
universities Of several states are
seeking the truth and looking into
the future to locate and define
difficulties and dangers, SO that the
development and prosperity OF our
agricultural sections may not be
interrupted.
These Investigations have dis
closed some facts which should be
made known to the public, and
will doubtless appear IN official
with official sanction very soon.
For example, it is thought neces
sary to warn land-hungry people
who are taking up homesteads and
buying small farms in the semi
arid regions of western Kansas,
eastern Colorado, Wyoming, Utah
and other states, that dry farm
ing" is a very critical proposition.
1t is also considered important
that homeseekers should know
that many million acres of our
arid land can never be irrigated
under any circumstances, because
of the lack of water, and that the
prevention Of waste of water is one
of the most important duties of
the American people.
One of the ablest agricultural
experts in this country, who has
recently made an investigation of
the conditions in the dry farm
ing" section on the slopes of the
Rocky Mountains, says:
II have been a pretty thorough
student of what is known as dry
f%arming", and have urged farmers
when moving into the semi. arid
section, say west of the ninety
ninth meridian, to purchase moth.
ing less than a section or two Sec
tions, and to combine stock grow
ing with dry farming, and not to
undertake it all except with enough
capital to carry them through a
period of three years. In Salt
Lake City | made special inquiry
of the president of the agricul-
tural college, and others, who in
form me hat dry farming has
been practiced there since 1860,
and that the average yield of the
land, which is put in wheat each
alternate year, is s or 9 bushels a
year, and that the land will soon
need vegetable matter in order to
maintain its fertility. At Chey-
enne | was told that the minimum
OF land needed 70 r successful
farming was 800 acres and the
minimum of capital $4,000; that
while some men will succeed with
81, 600 or even $500, many would
fail even with $4,000, but that
81, 900 is required to be safe. The
agricultural experiment station
sent out circulars asking dry
farmers as to the amount of land
required to make a living, and the
average given was 500 acres.
Over most of the territory west
of the goth meridian there has
been so per cent of rainfall above
