BRICH r PROSPECTS FOR FARMERS
The June report of the Statistician
of the department of agriculture
takes a hopeful view of the agricul
tarai situation. Prices for Wheat
are higher than they were a year
ago, although then they had mate­
rially advanced from a much lower
figure. The prospects for a good
crop are bright, and still more to the
advantage of our farmers, the crop
in Europe is reported light. S.ince
harvest is now pretty near and met­
eorological and other risks reduced,
there can be little doubt that good
¡.trices will be realized. Let our- far-,
.liieisbewarer h»We,&ei y of accepting
higher prices as an invitation to en
largement of the next breadth by a
few million acres, or the situation
may be reversed in a single season,
With a recurrence of the rural “de­
pression” now happilv passe-1 way;
let them beware of the false and
dangerous theory that we cannot
produce wheat enough to reduce the
World’s wheat prices,or even enough
for our own use after a few more
shiploads of immigrants shall supple
ment the natural increase of our
population. Such a belief generally
acted on would in two years make
the cheapest wheat of the century,
and give an intense cefüleah hue to
the entire rural atmosphere. Grow­
ers, go Slow in the extension of
Wheat area!
The prospects foï barley, also, are'
considered good. This has always
been one of the most satisfactory
crops our farmers could raise, but
the competition from Canada,which
has been accustomed tb send to ouf
markets annually barley to the Value
of nearly $10,000,000; has grievously
Oppressed our own barley growers.
But the neW tariff has corrected, this
injustice and barley growing has en­
tered upon a boom. A decided en
largement in the barley acreage has
taken place, and good prices are al­
most a certainty. The condition of
the crop is very satisfactory.
The act of the Michigan legisla
ture, providing for choiee of presi
dential electors by popular vote L
t ie congressional districts, contin­
ues to excite discussion, and may
leid to action on the same or parallel

the extent that it seems to be a par­
ty measure; as it clearly seems to be
in this case, it will be condemned bj
popular sentiment. There is a gen-
■ral feeling which, however, is no
shared to any great extent by partj
managers, that presidential elector
might be done away . with entirely

ter directly, instead of by the pres
