CONCERNING WHEAT.

Wheat is not a uniformly profit
able crop. At least 1t does not
compare favorably with the 9TH
err leading crops corn. hay, to-
bacco. cotton and alfalfa-if we
accept the cost Investigations of
the United States department Of
agriculture at their face value.
Winter wheat continues to hold
its own on the general farms of
the eastern. central and north
western states because Of its Pc
culiar fitness in the rota ton and
the fact that it can be grown
without competing with other
crops for the farmers labor.
There is little question that at
least half the total wheat crop Of
the country is produced with a
very narrow margin Of profit.
and winter wheat may be re-
garded as by product Of the
farm rotation which in itself is
not profitable at least on most
central and eastern farms. No
yield of less than twenty bushels
an acre can be regarded as a
profitable crop when it is consid-
cred apart from the value of the
growing wheat as means of
securing a stand of grass or
clover or Of utilizing land during
the winter Country Gentleman.

Cur South American Opportunity.

Cur South American Opportunity.
In the present blockade of com
MERGE and paralysis of American
trade we should not overlook the fact
that whatever may be the conditions
across the Atlantic, the big, rich ma
lions of South America want to buy
and sell with us just as badly as we
want to sell and buy with them. And
they are even more upset by the lack
of ships than we are, in proportion
they are more dependent on foreign
markets Our southern neighbors
have relied chiefly on Germany and
England for manufactured goods and
many other commodities. and with
those nations at war the. United
States is the natural market for a
volume of purchasing power which
alone would lift us from partial
activity. The trade of Argentina,
Brazil and Chilli is far more valuable
than all the gold the Spanish con-
querors carried home from the New
World, and vastly greater than the
commerce of China for which the
nations are perpetually quarrelling.
It is our opportunity now to capture
this trade, which rightfully belongs
to us by virtue of our primacy in
this hemisphere. The Panama Canal
is ready for navigation. All of
South America lies open to us, with
the Far East for good measure. The
great desideratum is ships. We must
get -them,a and get them at once,
without partisan policies or petty
fears of investment in new and UNI
tried lines. This is a rare oppor-
tunity for American craftsmanship
and American capital to perform a
signal service for American industry
without any stigma of dollar di-
plomacy" It is a case where bust
ness enterprise becomes a patriotic
national service

Oil Treatment for
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up Of a
combination of pure vegetable oils is
producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intestinal
troubles The remedy, which is said
to have originated in France, where it
has been used for years by the peasantry,
was introduced into this country by
George H. Mayr, a leading Chicago
druggist, who cured himself Of severe
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles by
its use. Those who have used it say the
first dose is sufficient to convince any one
Of its remarkable merit, and that within
twenty-four hours the sufferer feels like
a new person. This medicine, which
has become known as Mayr's Wonderful
Stomach Remedy, is now sold by first
class druggists everywhere. It is now
sold here by
