BOUNTIFUL CROP PROSPECT.
This country never has har
vested a half billion bushels of
winter wheat, but file official fig
ures published today promise this
year 513,571,000. This is the re
sult of sowing almost the largest
breadth on record, and of losing
by the crop’s greatest enemy,
winter killing, only 1,4 49,000
acres. Last year the loss from
this cause was 0,409,000 acres,
and was the greatest known, j
There have been smaller losses i
than this year's, hut they are few.
There are 4,307,000 more acres of
winter wheat now standing than
were harvested last year, with a
condition which lias been four
passed, Dut not muc.n or niien.
There were those unreasonable
enough to expect something bet
ter even than this, and who now
are grumbling at indication of a
gain of only 113,000,000 bush
els in this single crop, whose
conditions are largely those of
crops in general. Grumblers like
that had a bad time of it last year.
They indulged in a luxury of woe
about this time, and never had a
chance (o be equally happy I here
after. The 'crops steadily im
proved from that bad beginning,
and there is no reason why they
should not Ibis year at least hold
their own. The seed has gone in
to the soil with sufficiency of
moisture, and that, is the most
uncertain factor of American ag
riculture. We oftener suffer from
lack of rain than from loo lit
tle heat, but that is not likely in
this flood year. Nothing but a
calamity, of which there is no
sign, can spoil this year’s crops.
The present prospect is so good
that the usual seasonable deter
ioration would leave us all the
farmers could sell and be satis
fied with the price they gut.
Ther- is no danger of there
being too much winter wheat, ow
ing to last year's shortage in that
variety, but there may lie danger
of discomfort to holders of grains
in general through the enormous
reserves still on the farpis. Tin*
winter was so mild that there was
less lhan usual consumed for fod
der, and the farmers held when
winter was over almost half an
ordinary crop of. e,orn and 300,
000,000 bushels of oats, besides
unusual stores of oats and barley.
■ It takes an active imagination to
suggest, that lhere will be this
year a lack of tilling for freight
cars, or stomachs of man or
beast, at prices which it will he
easier than recently to pay.
II is a mistake to reckon the
crops in dollars merely. The
farmers’ profits are not satisfy
ing to those who do not realize
them. It lakes hulk to satisfy the
hunger of 1 (10.000,000 eaters, and
of other millions of “feeders” for
human eating, and to fill the
.freight cars now empty on the
sidings. The decrease in their
numbers reported yesterday may
.be a sign (hat the farmeys are
moving their surplus before they
are swamped by the new abun
dance, whose sign they would be
.the first to see.—Ex.
COST OP THE WAR GAME.
The proposition of some of the
navy enthusiasts ter have an ap
propriation made by the next Con
gress for a dreadnought that will
cost about $40,000,000, is inter
esting chiefly as indicating the
trend of events. If the plan is
adopted and pursued to its logi
cal conclusion, disarmament may
be forced upon all t,he nations by
reason of their inability to stand
the drain ol' the military budgets.
Estimate's place the cost of the
Balkan war at $500,000,000 ex
clusive of the indirect cost in loss
of life and property. But it is
not actual warfare so much as
preparation for possible or im
aginary wars that constitutes the
heaviest burden upon European
« i
nations. The war budgets of
Germany, France, Austria, Rus
sia and Italy for the current year
aggregates one billion, six hun
dred and sixty-five million dollars,
a sum almost sufficient, it is said
to rebuild all the railroads in I he
United Slates within eight years.
The governments of the old
world are beginning to realize
that al some lime or other there
must come an end to this tre
mendous outlay of capital in
fields that produce no wealth, but
which, on tin.ntrary, divert the
money from the natural channels
of business and constructive en
terprise. it is a significant fact
that England has recently pro
posed to Germany a mutual sus
pension of naval increases for a
period of y ars and that German
'sentiment is rather favorable to
ward the suggestion.
A still more important omen is
the gathering tide of popular pro
test against the towering tax lev
ies that must be imposed to main
tain and extend great armaments.
The millions of people who strug
gle for bread are realizing that, it
is their toil /and their earnings
which are taxed.
Means for checking these vast
expenditures have not yet been
found, but every indication points
to the fact that some means must
be found,- simply for the reason
that the war game is approach
ing the limit of Economic re
sources.—Ex.
John Bull is evidently tired of
having people tell him that he is
hen-pecked.
But if war did come, it would
be an awful long way to ship
home the bodies of the dead Ja
panese.
Huerta and Felix Diaz are said
to have fallen out, but possibly all
the honest men in Mexico are dead
or in prison, so the*y may not get
their dues.
A Colorado judge has ruled that
a wife should tell her husband all
she knows. Does that omnibus
opinion lake in her knowledge of
the neighborhood?
Professor Taft is coaching the
Yale debating team for ils bout
with Harvard. Mow, if Colonel
Roosevelt will coach Harvard a
lively time may be expected.
