MT. Hills Estimate

WIT. 1lIl ZStlmdtc
 Tn one of the addresses which James j.. Hill delivered year or two ago. he was quoted as having said that the harvests of the United States ought to yield each year. in value estimated by money. sl5.- COG, 600 000. That seemed an excessive esti- mate Yet one of the striking incidents associated with the promise of the phe- nomenal wheat harvests indicates that it was not excessive It was estimated by one of the experts this morning that should the larger estimate of the wheat harvest prove to be an accurate one namely. that there may be a yield of l. GOO. 100000 bushels-then the market price of wheat would average perhaps as much as 75 cents a bushel. That means that the wheat harvest alone will be of the money value of s750,O OO0.0O0
 Should this prove to be the case. wheat would offer strong rivalry with cotton. If is presumed that the money value of an average cotton crop, excluding by- products. may be estimated at about $00 000.O00 8 year. although this is of course a rough estimate. Some of those who have recently been in the south say they would not be astonished if when au- tumn comes 1t be found that the cotton crop is the largest ever harvested. Even if it is, it is not likely to yield much greater money return than would follow the harvesting of 1,0O0,000.0O0 bushels of wheat.
 Mir. Hills belief has been very strong for years that with the practice of the utmost efficiency in farming. including the raising of a diversity of products the amount of money received for American crops would be greatly increased. Yet 1t has been for years regarded as phenome- non of American life and industry that agriculture has produced harvests of an average money value of about 5000, GOO GOO. That has been for men of great affairs in Europe one of the marvels of American energy. It has been customary in London until recently to refer to the United States as chief among the agricultural exporting ations of the world. Two or three years ago. when there was demonstration that our exports of manufactured products were likely eoon to be in excess of the money value of our expectations of agri- cultural products. the attention of men of affairs across the sea was fixed upon this new condition so that they often said that incredible az 1t would have seemed . few years earlier, nevertheless the United States seemed likely to surpass in the exportaticn of her manufactured prod uctr tho exportation of her agricultural products These men will be likely to read with amazement-not having good understanding of what the economic and financial influences behind the present promise of the wheat crop really are-the 'unsurpassed figures reported from Wash ington.
 Furthermore. one of the comments fre- quently made since this government re- port was published. is that if the Amer lean farmers are raising 1.0,l mn 0oo buah- els of wheat they need not ne apprehen- Give about iInportefions of wheat from othor countries

 Treatment
By HOLLAND

New York, May 13.-(Special. )--Whether the total wheat crop harvested in the year 1914 be 900 00o, GOO bushels or 1000 GOO, . 900, the harvest will be sure to furnish good argument with which to confound those who have viewed despairingly the development of this industry As long. ago as 1895. high authority who had made special study of wheat growing conditions In the United States, in Rus sia and in South America, ventured to predict that within 10 years this country would have reached the climax of it's wheat producing possibilities unless there were great reclamations of arid lands and utilization of many million acres of land which might be reclaimed.
 The late Mayor William R. Grace, who was familiar with tho natural resources of Peru, predicted about b years ago that the rapid growth of the population of the United States would overtake and pass the wheat production so that we should have to look elsewhere for por- tion of our wheat supply. It was MT. Grace's opinion that this demand would lead to the opening up of millions of vir- gin lands in eastern Peru especially adapted to the culture oe wheat. for which transportation facilities would be fur nished by the building of railroad lines from the interior to the coast
 When the large movement of wheat growers from the west to British Colum- bia was at it's height the comment was often made that the immigration of these wheat growers made it clear that the United States had practically exhausted It's available wheat lands so that the cost of the land had become almost prohibi- tive. Therefore, it was said, wheat grow CTS of the west are seeking the cheap lands of British Columbia.
 Several times when comments of this kind were general, and when there began to be apprehension less the United States should be compelled to import wheat in large amounts, no longer exporting it, James J. Hill spoke in words both of monition and of encoura cement. In his view he was supported by Howard Elliott, who at that time was president of the Northern Pacific company and had be- come an expert authority upon the agri- cultural resources of the northwest. Will liam c. Brown. who has recently retired from the presidency of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad com pany, and whose early life and first rail- way experiences were in the great agri- cultural regions of the Missouri valley, spoke frequently in line with the utter ances of MT. Hill, for he spoke in moni- tion as well as with encouragement

of this kind would serve surely to in crease the number of bushels of wheat per acre and greatly to increase the number of bushels of corn per acre.
 Howart Elliott always maintained that the wheat lands of the United States now under cultivation were capable of such treatment as to lead to largely in- creased number of bushels per acre Will liam c. Brown advised the farmers of western New York to give careful heed to scientific wheat raising so that they might thereby regain in some measure the William c. Brown, who has recently re- prestige which western New York secured during the early half of the past cen tury, when Rochester had become pre- eminent as flour producing center.
 A New York business man in the past. who retired from active business two years ago, was for years possessed of a large farm near Lexington, Ky, the state of his birth. He recently bought the great farm established by the late James R. keene. which was in the neighborhood of his own farm. He came to New York yesterday upon brief visit and spoke with enthusiasm of the demonstration which is this year to be made of the ca pacity of American farmers to make soil yield not only sufficiently for the needs of the American people, but also so large ly as to supply large surplus for ex- port. He said that upon his own farm the many acres which he had set apart for wheat culture were furnishing the same promise for great harvests which the gov ernment report of Thursday of last week contained. It was partially due, no doubt, to the climate, but not wholly The wheat farmers of the United States are rapidly learning how to coax the soil so that 1t may yield wheat in far greater amounts to the acre than it has done in the past
 Ii is not entirely due to the climate. favora ble as it has been for winter wheat cultivation this year. that these unpar- alleled promises of great wheat har- vest are due. Scientific cultivation ex- plains no small part of this promised in- crease.

FORMAL APOLOGY MADE
FOR GARDEN CRITICISM.
British Ambassador Expresses Regrets
to Secretary Bryan for Alleged Cen
sure on Part of Minister to Mexico,
DIPLOMAT MUST STATE FACTS

Regret over the publication of an al
legged interview with Sir Lionel Garden
Wednesday, in which the British diplo-
mat vas quoted as severely criticising
the evacuation OF Vera Cruz, was ex-
pressed officially at the State Department
yesterday by the British Ambassador,
Sir Cecil Spring-Ric
The Ambassador also sent to the de-
partment letter to Secretary Bryan,
stating formally what he told the Secre-
tary over the telephone last evening,
when the Garden interview first met his
attention.
The British Ambassador has found Il
1mpractcable to send the entire inter
View to Sir Lionel Garden, who is on
the Celtic. en- route to England. and con-
sequently has been unable to get from
the former Minister to Mexico any state
ment as to whether he actually gave such
an interview as was attributed to him.
The opinion among friends OF Sir
Lionel is that while he may have
tndiscreetly discussed conditions in
Mexico prior to sailing, that he prob
ably did not authorize the publication
of such statements. The fact that the
interview was published after he had
sailed, so that he would have no OPP
portunity 10 see it upon publication,
is regarded here as a fact giving rea-
son to doubt the accuracy of the in
terview.
Sir Lionel will be confronted with II
upon his arrival in London, however,
as Ambassador Spring-Rice cabled to
copy Of it to his government Wedhes-
day.
