THE GREAT CEREAL YIELD.
Some recent estimates of the extent
of the corn crop for 1895 make it 200,-
000,000 or 300,000,000 bushels lower than
the majority of the earlier predictions,
bringing it down to 2,000,000,000 bush
els' The New York Financial Chronicle,
however, presents a table of production
by states which puts the total up to or
near the highest mark o( the summer
forecasts. The figures of yield are based
on the acreage and the latest returns of
condition given by the department of
agriculture. A total crop of 2,372,254,
000 bushels is thus arrived at. As the
department's estimates are oftener be
low the mark than above it, the yield of
1895, according to his figuring, may
eafely be placed at. about 2,400,000,000
bushels. This beats all recorde. The crop
being practically out of danger now,
this estimate is likely to stand.
Iowa heads the list in corn production
in 1895, with Illinois second, Missouri
third, Nebraska fourth, Kansas fiftn,
and Indiana sixth. The yield of these
states lis put at 258,890,000 bushels for
Iowa. 238,410.000 for Illinois, 229,849,000
for Missouri, 168,920,000 for Nebraska,
167,909,000 for Kansas, and 125,761,000
for Indiana. These are the only state
with production up to the 100,000,000
mark. Last year the yield was 81,844,
000 bushels in Iowa, 169,121,000 in Illi
nois, 116,000,000 in Missouri, 14,000,000
in Nebraska, 42,000,000 in Kansas, and
97,000,000 in Indiana. A comparison of
these figures with those of 1895 will
show the great gain made this year. In
the whole country the yield in 1894 was
1,213,000 bushels, or only a little more
than half of this year's product.
But corn is not the only cereal which
has broken all records. Oats have done
this also. The yield of the latter in 1S9
is placed at 825,494,000 bushels. Wheat,
too, though far below the highest record,
haa turned out better than was expected
a month or two ago, the Chronicle's
computation, based on the department's
figures of acreage and condition, being
423,475,000 bushels, against 460000,000
in 1894, 396,000,000 in 1893, 516,000,000
in 1892, and 612,000,000, the largest
record, in 1891. In round figures the
combined yield of the three cereals
named is 3,621,000,000 in 1895, as com
pared with 2,335,000,000 in 1894, 2,654,
000,000 in 1893, 2,805,000,000 in 1892,
and 3,410,000,000 in 1891. The great
grain yield of 1S95 is an important bull
factor in the business situation. It
means prosperity for producers and, at
the same time, cheap food for consumers
and large revenues for the railroads.
Globe Democrat.
The newspapers of San Francisco
must be among the most paying institu
tions of the city. The leading journals
have just subscribed $18,500 to a fund
for attracting the National Republican
Convention to the city by the Golden
Gate. The Examiner headed with
$1000 a subscription list for circulation
among business men. The Call re
sponded with $5000, which was followed
by the Chronicle with a donation of
$7500. The Examiner raised its gift to
$6000, and promises more if necessary.
San Francisco has the reputation oi
carrying to a successful termination
whatever it undertakes, and the chances
are even that the national convention
may be persuaded to continue the west
ward march, which three vears atn
stopped at Minneapolis. Many of the
fancied disabilities under which it was
believed San Francisco labored, have
been dispelled, and it is likely the con
vention could be handled with ease. If
San Francisco 19 chosen, the delegates
may come expecting to receive the most
hospitable treatment ever given by any
city, and they will get it.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS FROM THE
NORTHWEST PRESS.
Walla Walla Statesman: Fitzelm
mons sayB that "if necessary he is will
ing to meet Corbett with lawn mowers."
It will not be necessary ; typewriters -are
good enough for all modern pugilistic
purposes.
Salem Statesman : There :s enough
money invested in Marion county and
Salem city warrants by our people to
build twenty creameries. Get out of
debt and stay out; and force this money
into places where it will employ labor.
Albany Herald : As fleet-footed time
winds up the thread of life, it becomes
more apparent that the choice of the
next republican presidential convention
will not be made without a etruggle
through several ballots. Just how these
ballots will affect the chances of candi
dates who first enter the race it is diffi
cult to say, but in all probability it will
assist to the success of a later aspirant.
Evening Telegram: What haa Con
suelo Vanderbilt done that the American
public should be confronted by ber
name every time they look at the tele
graphic page of a daily newspaper? She
is engaged to wed a British title, of
course, but is that any reason that the
good people of this country should be
compelled to study her character so mi
nutely and watch her every movement
with such intense interest?
The fire department at the company's
shops has just added 250 feet of new
hose to its appliances for fighting fire.
From Far Away Ceylon.
I have received direct from the Island
of Ceylon a large consignment if its
justly celebrated teas. The extraordin
ary success which has attended the grow
ing of the tea plant in Ceylon is phenom
enal. Ten or twelve years ago a few
planters experimented growing tea,
(the coffee crop, for which the island
was formerly famous, being entirely de
stroyed by a blight) with the result that
Great Britain alone consumes annually
190,000,000 pounds of these- teas which
would be a small matter to what would
be consumed in our country, when
Americans realize the splendid qualities
of Ceylon. These teas are piepared by
modern machinery and picked by the
natives with gloved hands and are in
comparable in their strength, purity and
flavor.
Economy is also a most important
factor in the use of these teas ; one pound
being equal in strength to two pounds of
China, it is only necessary to use half
the quantity you would of any other.
To make good tea is a very simple
matter. Use an earthenware teapot and
pour on the water as soon as it boils,
allowing five minutes to draw. Water
which has been previously boiled should
never be used. W. A. Johnston,
Up-to-Date Groceryman.
