The wheat crop in the Uuited States for the year 1903 is placed by the Unitud States Agricult ural Department in its estimate made in March 1904, at 637,821, 835,bu all of which has been die posed of but 132,666,940 which was held in the farmers hands on March lt The amount of the annual consumption of wheat by the people in con tinental United States is found by taking the United States Treasurer's estimate of the pop ulation for March 1904, and the per capita consumption of wheat by our people as given in the table published on page 2,575 of the Monthly Summary of Com merce and Finance for J muary 1904, issued by the United Status Department of Commerce and Labor, which gives the per capita consumption of wheat for food bv our people per aunum at 4 bushels. These authorities plant the number of people to. be fed in the United States in 1904, at 82,00 ,000, who will consume 328,000,000 bushels of wheat. If the wbeat industry increased in the same propor tion eiuce the last census that it did from 1890 to 1900 the, wheut crop of 1904 will cover 60 000,000 acres, which will require 90,000,000 bushels of good wheat. By adding the amount consum ed by our own people we find tin homo market, food and seed wheat will use 418,000,000, as suming the wbeat crop of 1904 will be larger than that of 1903, and reach 640,000,000 bushels when the food for our people and seed is deducted therefrom there will be 322,000,000 bushels to find market for in our new possessions, Alaska and foreign lands. Should we have this surplus it will suffice to feed for one year 47,500,000 people at the same r.ite of Consumption as that of our people. It will be seen from th- ahove figures that the home market absorbes the greater portion of the wheat grown in the American farms. When the president of the ' Don't Worry Club" in Union received the news that over SO percent of the voters of the county had signed the petition asking for the chance to vote- on the removal of the county seat. he immediately called a special meeting. It in evident that so long as the county seat remains where it is Union will make no great effort to have the county endebl edness reduced. The reasons are aparreut to all. Now that the city election is over, the ordinance prohibiting stock from running at large should be enforced. That ordi nance should be enforced month in the year. every Grande Ronde Valley Fruit Farm berlain'a Cough Remedy in 1887, and nnaing it such a reliable remedy for Tho Urando Ronde vullny fruit farm contains 320 aces, and is to be sold lots of of ten luts snd an-J up, to suit the purchaser, it is situated eight mil es north-enst of I.
