From every portion of the State came cheer ig words of endorsement, and the promise of co-operation and substan tial aid.

Washington, Dec. 27.- The statis tician of the department of agriculture estimats the United States' wheat crop of 1900 at 522,229,505 bushels, the area actually harvest d being 42,495, 385 acres, and the average yield per acre 12.29 bushels. The production of winter wheat is estimated at 350,025, 409 bushels and that of spring wheat at 172.204 096 bushels, the area actual ly harvested being 26,233,897 acres in the former case and 16,259,488 acres in the latter. Winter wheat acreage totally abandoned in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois is finally placed at 3,522,787 acres, and the spring wheat acreage totally abandoned in North Dak9ta-and South Dakota at 1,793,457 acres. -The xtraordinarily rapid rate at which the winter wheat average of Nebraska is gaining upon the spring wheat average of that State has neces sitated a special investigation of the relative extent to whik the two va rieties- were grown during the past vear. The result of the investigation is that,-while no change is called for-in thtotal figures of the State, 590,575 ree have been added to the winter wheat column at the expense of the prgvariety.. The newli seeded area of winter wheat 1# estimated at 30,282,684 acres. Whie this acreage Is slightly greater than that sown in the fall of 1899. as estimateldat the A'me,'t Is 600,654 areeiess than the . area that .was.;1c tqlyI sown, the discrepancy being due to that reeaikably rapid development of winter wheat growing In Nebratka, withwhich, as above stated, the do partment reperts had failed to keep pace. A omparison of the newly seeded acreage with that of the fall of. 1899 shows that of the eleven States and Territories that sowed one million acres or upward with winter wheat one year ago, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Kansas, California and Oklahoma re port an increase amounting to 971,704 acres, and Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, -Ilddo-' X as -and Tennesse a- Be condition of the-Z .

Nesom, in charge of the veterinary department of Clemsot College, is sending over the State a c'Ircular letter looking to the establish mont of a purely agricnltural jcurnal In this State. It Is proposed that a stock company be formed with a capital stock of at least $5,000, divided into shares of $10 each. As soon as the subscriptions amount to $3,000, a meeting of the stockholders will be called and a per manent organization perfected. After this, a charter will be secured, pay ment ,:f subscriptions called for, and arrangements made to begin the pub lication of the paper. In the prospectus Dr. Nesom says: g"This is sent you in the hope that you are a eader of agricultural litera ture, and stand ready to encourage a home enterl rise in the form of an up to-date jourwil devoted to the inter ests of ie fa iners and stocemen of South Usroli ha and the adjoining States. It is not the purpose of this letter to poit't cut the reasons why to day we have no modern farm paper in this section, to which the farmers may look for information on subjects of local and State inteiest on agricultural lines, but to briefly outline the plan by which such publication may be had. It is a fair estimate to say that four fifths of the people of South Carolina are in some way engaged In agricultu ral pursuit. With the great variety of soil, climate and coaditions from the seashore to the mountalns, and the production of almost every field rnd garden crop tt at grows ii, the south, besides considerable stock raising, there is no reason why our agricultural Intrests should not equal or exceed those of any other Atlantic State. But in order to bring our farmers, stocknen, fruit growers and market. gardeners -into closer relations, we. must have in this State a journal de voted exclusively to agriculture, and adapted to our special needs. The matter published in It must be of such character as to, command tle attention and respect of jthe Intelligent readiog pap. otbis charterw - have n Kir e ,and .V Mine of adverflarg.1iotgiMggspgl nmvspavers,,md ainest-se siet rto defray all running expenses.
