We commend the following article from the pen of an okl friend and confr< re to the attention of our readers. Many farmers are now preparing land and sowing oats and wheat, and between now and March all the plowing will be done, or should be done, preparatory to another crop. The ar ticle has been-en hand some time, waiting for a more auspicious moment. We have had prei isely the same experience on our own farm, of the long-continued evil effects of wet land plowing as that related by Col onel Newman; Editor Constitution— Knowing the serious injury resulting from stirring or tramping 1 the soil while wet, I ask that you publish th'- following warning for the benefit of your farmer readers. llve’ v energetic farmer is now anxious and Imi client to speed the plow and the t< inntation to plow before tin- soil is in pr >p< r eondit '.in of dryness will be almost . irresistible, even to those who fully ap preciate its impropriety. Many t. mints and cropjeis. farming ujmn the land of others, V iii feel 1.-s,; restraint than those cultivating : their own lands. I wish i could ro.n -h the ear nnd the un- 1 dorstan ling of every tiller of the southern -«>il and imprest with indelibility a renliza i t: n of the absolute wrong done by reducing ; the productive capacity of the soil.

A.I id-al b avening agent. <’jr v: or in j imv vntCK or WHEAI, From The Indiana Farm- r. Much has been said of late through the p:-. upon the subject .f the low price of wheat and its cau ■ Al! have agreed on one point, and that is that the pt ice is low, and here they divide. 1 am awitr - that the farmers have In the p st often ri gar led the millers as their ell m <s, but 1 will attempt to show briefly why the intere-is of farmer and miller are Identic 1 and that by r. ason of the feeling ni- ntion.-'l. the causes r t low priced wheat have n t 1" ■ n removed First. th< mill r is the best customer the farmer lias, and is always in the market ai d always pays the market |irii e for the wheat. The market is not made by the mil ler. but is practically made by the Liverpool operator. Except during the first month or two at the beginning of each crop year, the millers t ike th< bulk ot the wheat brought to mark t. During the first two months, the movet.. i;t is very heavy mid much 1 exported, but after this little goes for export from localities where there are mills. Remove the milling industry from our country, and-our wheat must go abroad and come In comi>etition with the poor and cheap wheats <f Europe and India. Not only is this tr:i -. but the offal is lost to our farm ers. Th- foreign miller will not use Ameri can wheat until it comes down in price to the poor wheat of Europe and India, but tip-Anu rfcan il 'ur could be placed in every market in the world, because of its superior ity. if not shut out by prohibitory foreign tariffs. It has done this in many markets in the face of tlmir own tariffs. In talking with a gentleman from Holland, not ling since, h< said, in answer to my query as to how much Amet-tean wheat their native mil lers ground: "They do not grind any, be cause they can get Indian and European wheat so much cheaper. 'l’hey are anxious to use your fine American wheat, but can't pay the price and compete in the market with their flour. Os course their flour is much infer! >r to your American article, and tbs y realize the fact, but can't remedy the defett. I think the.v realize that your mil lers will eventually ruin their business, and therefore they are asking for a duty on American flour.” He simply gave the situation the world over. Th- foreign miller will only take our w heat wh' n it is either sold at the low price r«.ilized for poor foreign wheat, or wh.-n their erop is short and they must have it. on ac -oitnt of bi tter wheat and better f." ilitles and having attained a higher de gr» -of art in manufacture, the American n. |!er can produce the best flour in the world Hi.; market Is at present narrowed by lhe maintenance of prohibtory luiitt duties by certain foreign counties. If these countries would take American wheat and pay a relatively higher price for .t than for the poor quality of the European wheat, then the farmers’ interest in the subject might not be quite so great, but the facts are not such. The millers of this country, through the Winter Wheat Millers' League, an organization formed for the exclusive purpose of extending the markets for Amer ican flour, have asked congress to enact retaliatory laws whereby the luxuries, pur chased only by our rich, coming from the countries maintaining high tarifi duties against American flour, might be charged a double duty until they wore willing by re i eiprocal treaties to allow our flour to enter | their markets on a more equitable basis, i Notwithstanding the tact that every barrel of flour exported represents four and a half bushels of wheat, congress at its last ses sion refused this request and passed a bill In which many of these luxuries were placed on even a lower rate of duty. The millers further asked that the reciprocity feature of the then existing tariff law bo allowed I to remain in force. This was also disrogurd : ed. and as a result Simin Ims abrogated het reciprocity treaty with the t’nited States as to Cuiia. and Brazil has given notice that her treaty will be abrogated January Ist. next. To Cuba, the mills of this country shljqied last year nearly 900.000 bushels of flour, where scarcely any had been shipped before the treaty was effected. The amount shipped to Cuba last year exceetled the amount shipped the previous year by 80,000 barrels. To Brasil was exported 980,0U0 bar rels, an increase over the year befor- of I’hi.'ifio barrels. Spa'it has already advanced her tariff duty on our flour going to Culm from $1 per barrel to 51.73. or 75 cents higher than from tiny other country. Brazil will restore her old duty which was equal to a prohibition. Th- mills have thus lost a mar ket which would have taken this year over 2,000.0 m barrels of flour. Figuring 'his at four and half bushels to the barrel, wo find a loss to th<- American farmer of a m.irk-t for fully ii.ooo.ouii bush-ls of wh-.at. Further than this, th- flour shipped to those markets was all made from winter wheat, no : living wheat flour going tlmre.
