Russlan wheat ProductIon.

An enormous crop of wheat has been grown in Russia this year, plac ing that land for the first time at the head of wheat-growing countries Ita harvest of 7S3,000,000 bushels exceed that of the United States by 26,000,00f bushels, and is greater than its own previous record by about f00.000.00t bushels The development of wheat growing has been most rapid along the line of the Trans-Siberian railway As the home consumption is small iu proportion to population, this has made Russia one of the great sources of supply for the rest of the world France consumes much of the wheat that it grows. The present price of wheat in the United States, when placed against the surplus product oi Russia, makes it more difficult for this country to hold its place as an ex porter of that cereal.

The people of the mountain coun- ties of Arkansas have more than one fourth of the taxable property and more than one-third of the white school children, but must smile If they can-as they pay taxes to main tain four agricultural schools and think of how much good they are doing in helping teach the children of the lowlands how to farm.

fer to think that Mr.. Noel was real
Iy trying to do as nearly as he could
what, in his opinion, would be the
best thing for the state for him to
do. He made a sad mistake, was en-
tirely wrong in his view of the mat
ter, the Catawba purchase, but II
would be hard thing to say that hs
was infienced only by political and
partisan considerations. He failed
utterly 10 establish his position, anc
that ought to be disappointment
enough for him without suggesting
that he was controlled by unworth,
motives. Roanoke Times.
