November. Argentine, tho young,
vigorous and alert Blator republic
of ours, comes Inst on tho list and
harvests Its wheat crop In December.
This Implies that while wheat Is

States tho crop Is being liarveBtod In
India; Hint whllo tho Amerlcnn crop

ThlB also means that somowhoro In

tho grnlh grown In our own country.
Not all tho forolgn fnrmorB nro nblo

crops. Through one reason or nnoth
or somo nro obliged to soil for loss
than Its actual value, and such trans
actions not only hurt them but hurt
tho pockot-books ot agriculturists
of tho United Stntos. Tho sot-bnek
which tho farmer rocolves In distant
India, Russia, or Argentina, In a
monsuro, tolls on tho agriculturist In
tho United Stntos; for farmors of
all those dlfforcnt countries sond
their quota to tho world's markots.
From tho facts In tho dopartmont

farmors of somo countrlos nro loft

In the Unltod Statos, Canada an1
many of the continental countries,
tho agricultural, community Is pros

lands and In Russln, tho lot of tho
agriculturist Ib hard ho Is virtually

vorgo of starvation, becauso In tho
grip olS tho monoy londed, who forces
him to soil his crop In many cases

Tho grain Bocured from those

In tho more prosperous countries
either gornmental or private

thus prevent monopoly of Informa-

frnm tho tolls of the ururor and

tho battle of supply and demand the
) cut-throat buying Is not possible. By
' tholr system of future contracts and

This wns the caso during tho fall
markotlng period of 1907.
Tho Republic of Argontlnn, which
stnrted to rnlse wheat In n syste
matic manner only eighteen yenrs
ngo and now raises more wheat than
doso Germnny, probably furnishes
tho best Illustration. In 1907-0S
Argontlnn raised 180,000,000 bush
ols of wheat n crop far In excess of
any beforo raised In that land. To
markot tho Bitrpkis tho first ship
ments wsro 5,000,000 to 7,000,000
bushels n week, tho prico of wheat
dropping ns tho markots became
glutted. Somo sagacious nnd ontor
prlslng merchants saw tho harm re
sulting to tho fnrmers, organized n
hoard of trado, modolcd aftor tho
Chicago oxchnngo, which successful
ly competed with tho Europenn buy
ore by crontlng an open world's mar
ket and In 00 days savod $1,500,000
to tho wheat groworB, reducing tho
export figuro to 2, COO, 000 buahols a
week.
Tho staplo crops aro sown, raised
and harvested In othor lands nnd
on othor continents In n much ruder
way than In tho Unltod Stntos. Tho
Implements employed In Aula, Afri
ca, Eurppo and Amorlca mark. tho
evolution of agricultural machinery.
In ninny parts of Africa and Central
Asia tho woodon digging stick, Its
point shnrpened by bolng rubbod
against stone and harded by bolng
chnrrod In tho flro originally In
vented mnny conturlos ngo Is still
employed In forcing root-food out of;
tho ground. The African brenks
ground with his hands nnd In mnny
pnrts of tho Dark Continent mon and
womon pluck tho stalks of corn with
their hands or uso stono knives for
reaping. Most of tho Aslntlcs Uio
wooden plows. In many of tho con
tinental countries tho plow consists
of n crooked wooden stick, to ono
ond of which Is fastonod a rude plcco
of Iron nnd in certain parts ot Rim-
sin tho woman Is nllowed to plow tho
Innd by means of this contrlvnnco
whllo tho men who nro usually car
penters and masons botnko them
selves to tho cltleB In order to swell
tho family Income by working at
their trades.
Russia uses horses, India bullocks,
Persia camols for harvest work. Tho
horses In farm work In Franco ar
large, those In uso In Russia ar
small. In many pnrts of Africa th

en-jCOnBtant uso In reaping tho cropa,
iillo n many of tho continental
countries, the elder nnd swifter
brother of the sickle, tho scytho, la
still employed.
This matter-of-foct-noss of tho
American farmer whllo an oxtromoiy
valuable assot In many ways, spoils
hiB chanca of bolng plcturosquo. The
farmer In Europe Invests hU work
with ceremonials and fetes, llko
thoie in France. But. it Is tho East-
Indian farmer who outdoes the rest
of tho world in Indulging himself
in harvest ceremonies and festlvl-
ties. Tho day when tho crop is
finally gathered In means an epoch
in his life. Submerged In poverty a-
he eternally Is, because of the usur-
ous buyers, he makes tho harvest day
under a cluster of trees, with a bup-
ply of wine which usually la home-
made In defiance of the exclso rules
of the British ruler. They are
dressed in their gala garbs their
heads adorned with turbans tied in
many shapes and including all the
colors of the rainbow. When night
falls the party gathers round the
queen sheave," as tho sheaf which
was cut and tied first Is called, and
Which Is decorated with brlght-col-
uu nouons. They prostrate them-
seives oeioro the sheaf, rendering
obolsnnce to tho "God of Grain."
This done an amateur theatrical
troupo begins a performance. In tho
small hours of tho morning the cel
ebrants do not resume their routine
work for a week or ten days. Somo
of them can't.
