This gentleman said, “It is beeauss it is the lazy man’s crop.” There may be more in this sugges | tion than one would concede upon the first thought. Wheat is a very easy crop to raise. It cau be sown in the falk of the year when the weather is pleasant, it requires no cultivation whatever ard the crop can be harvested in the early suim- mer, only requiring a few weeks’ work from seeding to threshing. Corn, cotton, tobacco, potatees, | beans and ether crops require con stant cultivation aud much more labor than the wheat crop. There is no doubt that wheat 1s cheap because of its over-production; then may not the cause of this over- production be found in the reasen given by the gentleman from Okla homa, that it is an easy crop to grow, | it is “the lazy man’s crop.” Be this | as it may, the thinking agriculturai- ist will agree that an over-production | always causes a shrinkage in the price of the crop produced.

Ween there ig an over-production in manufactured goods the manufac. | rer sbuts down the factory until | the-surplus is worked off. This the | fatmer” car easily do. When there | isan over-production of wheat and ' there is no price for it on the mar- | ket, sow less wheat. ‘The importance ‘of diversified crops should be discerned by, the!

When the farmer stud ies his own interest as carefully as does the merchant and manufacturer and other branches of business, he will raise such crops as are profit- able and wili have his field cat up into smaller patches for the produc- tion of a greater yariety of crops.

He offered the mort- gare to the Frenchman, therefore at its face value, throwing off the interest for the sake of realizing on the principal at once The Freneb- man was unsophisticated and took in the mortgage. The doctor there upon “realized” the cash and took 10 the Frenchman, it is thought If the Frenchman ever realizes any thing be will be in Juck, and from ly has realized this much.
