The Eagles correspondent from Ia
Dor, in commenting on crop conditions
in that locality, says it is to be hoped
the farmers this fall will be able to
haul corn to Bryan instead Of having
to haul corn out Of Bryan. This is
indeed a consummation devoutly to
be wished and when this and many
other prevailing conditions are re.
versed, the country will see prosperity
and not before.

A STRAW FORECAST.

Straw votes do not always show
which way the wind blows. But even
though they don't, they still are in
teresting: perchance valuable In that
they give off indications such as to
spur campaign managers to fresh &C.
tivities and inspire candidates to per-
sist or withdraw. 1t was no expec-
tation OF influencing the senatorial
campaign that induced Editor Harri-
son Of the Baylor County Banner to
take straw vote from the Texas
newspaper persons on the recent
press excursion between FL Paso and
Cloudcroft. The request was that the
voters should state their beliefs rather
than their personal sentiments-in
other words, It was not to be an ex-
hibition of editorial preferences, but
Of editorial predictions as regards the
outcome Of the preliminary senatorial
primary. Printed cards were passed
throughout the train, with the explana-
ton that each participation should
state what his conviction was as to the
comparative positions Of the candi.
dates named on the cards. Responses
were taken up from 157 editors, after
sufficient time for due consideration,
with the result: Brooks was given
first place by so editors, Culberson
by A, Colquitt by 32. Campbell by q,
Henry by four. Brooks was given
second place by 46, Culberson by "a,
Colquitt by "a, Campbell by 20, Henry
by II. Judge Riddle was assigned a
place In the running by several, but
not around the top. The editors who
participated in this symposium OF
opinion represented every quarter Of
Texas, and the result OF their com.
bined judgment is interestlng-but not
final. The election should be held as
called. Notwithstanding the editors
have already skinned the cream off
the returns.-State Press.
The editor Of The Eagle was pres.

ONE OF NATURES FREAKS.

TWO-DOLLAR WHEAT
UNLESS AN EMBARGO
Jay Burns Leaves for New
York, Where an Effort Will
Be Made to Stop Export.
NOT ENOUGH FOR HOME USE

1.-TWO dollar wheat is near at hand
unless an embargo is declared at
once"
This statement was made by Jay
Burns, president of the Jay Burns
Baking company, before departing
last night for New York to take a
leading part in an embargo mass
meeting called for the Cooper Union
hall on Saturday.
81 am flooded with circulars from
millers, flour brokers and others in the
trade predicting 81 wheat very short
ly," said Mr.. Burns.
when there is certain to be enough
wheat to just go around for food and
seed in this country, the normal price
would be about ST bushel We now
face the fact that there is less than
two-thirds enough wheat to furnish
our own people with bread and with
seed for next years crop, and ii ex-
ports do not stop this will be cut to
one-half the normal amount required
for our own needs within few
months.
Our wheat production this year
was Oil 100000 bushels. Our natural
requirements are 625.000,000 bushels.
But we had l60,000,000 bushels left
over from last year, which left us a
surplus of l46,000,000 bushels, which
we could export. Already the sur
plus has been depleted, and wheat IS
being exported at the rate of 100000
bushels day right now. Since July
we have exported 8s,000,000 bushels.
I'VE favor a restriction on exports,
the extent to depe"d upon the results
of thorough investigation by recog-
nized authorities. We also favor free
admission of Canadian or foreign
wheat,
The mass meeting in Cooper
Union hall on Saturday, under the
auspices of the United Master Bak-
ers of Greater New York, is not in
tended as embarrassing to the admin
istration or to have any political sig
nificance Officers of all political
parties have been invited to speak.
Neither is there anything unnat-
ural about our desire for an embargo.
For the first time in the history OF
the United States we have imported
wheat this year, and for the first time
since 1886 our domestic crop is below
our own requirements.
IAN embargo on wheat would be
opposed by the farmers, Of course, but
when you stop to analyze the gov
ernment's census figures and find that
less than per cent of the popula-
ton of the United States is interest,"
ed in high prices for wheat, for only
that proportion Of our farmers pro-
duce wheat, is II fair to gorge the
pockets of this small percentage and
take bread out Of the mouths Of the
remaining os per cent Of our peoplef"
