V f The San Francisco Commercial Her aWof a late date has the following ar ticle on t "Wheat Past; Present and Wture":" ; 4- -" - - ' The history of wheat, in this country, is a very suggestive topic. Formerly, when the land was comparatively new,' and the population scarce, the New England States not only produced suf ficient for home consumption, but en gaged largely in the exportation of wheat and flour,'their principal markets being the West India Islan Is, eastern South America and Great Britain. Whp.:it culture 'was lucrative and at tracted general attention ; but the con stant succession of crops through a Jong eeri?sjof years, so .decreased the yield that Eastern farmers mpved away into Newjfork State, an'd then commenced the celebrated production of Genesee flout, which hoM its own irith high re- v .-': it.. puiaiion unui me same caucus ujcjhcu there to diminish the yield and deter, prate the quality of the grain. Other ,and newer land became necessary, and our fast increasing population looked to the westward for farms and the raising of farm products. Ohio, Michigan, In diana and Illinois were the next fields of. great productive capacity sought by our constantly moving Northern popu lation, as well as by the immigrants from Germany, Switzerland and Eng land. In every case the same results have followed the successive planting of wheat, while the increasing distance Ifrom maikets of consumption, and the .additional cost of transportation ren dered the business less remunerative. We believe that there are now but twj jYceterh States Iowa aud Minnesota where there has mt been a marked decrease in the jield of wheat to the acre. The aggregate production has xbeen-swelled by a very largely increased areawiirder cultivation, but if may be doubted whether the amount ot wheat pow raised in the United States is tela . lively as'grcatr in proportion to the pop ulation, as it was forty years ago. If vre raise mere of the article, it is be cause there are more people enjfaged in its cultivation, and the area has been Correspond ingly expanded. The course of wheat culture, like the coursj of rmpire, has been westward on this con tinent, and the 'march is still main tained with-nnrelaxe vigor. The vi- day is bow to maTket their wheat at the cheapest possible rates, and as they Recede more and more to the westward, deeper and deeperinto the heart of the continent this Question presents aug mented difficulties for its solution. When the great wheat fieldsof the country shall exist west of th (Mississ ippi river, and commence to we formed ;on our immense prairies now roamed by the bison and the time is rapidly ap proachingi by reason of decreased yields in other places it will be impossible lo mpete with California, Oregon and Washington Territory. With our enor jnously extensive lino of sea coast, our immensity of virgin soil, the superiority of our climate and the constantly grow ing facilities to market our crops, far mers residing fifteen hundred to two thousand miles from the water will find .it impossible to compete successfully.. The Pacific coast must eventually be come the great wheat producing region of the Union. In the meantime the demand from England, -France and Germany the three greatest consumers arc steadily diminishing. Their pop ulations are decreasing under the influ ence "of inducements held forth for emigration to this country. Western farm. products will be depended on for home consumption, but the bulk of bread exports will be from this side of In making'up their estimates for the year English and German dealers first take the llussian crops into account, making up the deficit from the United States. Bessarabia, and all that part of Europe which borders on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azof, are especially fertile and admirably adapted to wheat culture;;: but it is indispensable that iho.crops should ripen and be harvested byajcertain time, as the climate will not -permit delays. The llussian Gov efntxtent has been devoting great atten tion to the furnishing of transportation fcriliBesi to I these region?, and to - the wheat producing portions on the north. by means ot whicn tuc crops can De thurfcetcd far cheaper than heretofore, and in greatly increased quantities. Nor is this all, for the llussian farmers afe itopoftingJIargely of our improved agricultural implements. Patent mow era and reapers, patent - threshing ma chines,; improved plows and rakes, and all other kinds of lately-invented Amer ican implements, are. being introduced with great ' success. : It is, therefore, probable-that, in the near future, llus gia will be able to furnish a much rcatersupply pf', food staples, at lower rates than ever; caused by the cheapness of Jabor and , the improvement in the niethoo! '' of, cultivation.! J As the popu lations of consuming countries have no proportionate Jocrcase, the demand f ::i:.s-"-tv'V V,. - V-;y. . must lessen, and the price of wheat be lowered all over the globe. China and Japan are, however, becoming greater consumers of our wheat and flour, and our breadstuff's trade; is gradually im proving with Russian Pacific possess ions, Mexico, South America and ' the islands of the Pacific. The conclusion is, that ve must not, ! hereafter, expect to realize the prices obtained in 18GG-G7-G8, which were exceptional j that the Pacific coast must become, the great wheat exporter of America ; and; that Russia will be about our only competU tor in the world's markets.
