himself. The galleries were crowded , and
although theio was consldciable noise about
the house nt Hist , a rap from the speaker's

namely , the breaking of new lands by new
settlers and extending the cultivation of
wheat lields bj others. In several conn tits in
south Dakota , wheie the flax jieldwns poor
last ) car , wheat has been substituted tills

wheat Is discouraging , It has not detcried
fanners from enlarging , their wheat held" .
Wheat Is chosen ns the shortest road to
irct money. If thcro nail been n failure ot
the crops Instcid of a fniluu1 In prices farm

voats the jielil of wheat In the teirltory has
