"It is on condition that you don't come before the jury again." Allmendinger & Sehneider have issued the following circular latter to farmers: A year ago we advised our farmer friends to put every acre of ground that they possibly could into whsat. The world's stock had steadiny decreased for a series of years, and the statistics of the situation made it evident that wheat would bring a good price. We come this year to the new harvest with the smallest world's supplies remaining in many years at this seiison. By the middle of Juiy these stocks will be nearly wiped out of existen-ce. This condition will again be favorable to good prices, though high prices cannot be predicted with any such confldence as last year, for the reason that at this time the prospect is for thet largest erop in the United States that we have ever raised. Tiic largest erop ever raised was. according to the government reports, that of 1S91, of 612,000,000 bu. Crop experts are predieting a crop for this year of from 725 to 925 mullion bushels. The realization of either amount must have a depressing effect on prire. We, therefore, say to farmers this year, watch crop conditions from now to harvest and get a full information about the yields abroad before deciding on the acreage of wheat to be sown in 1S98. We strongly urge all farmers to put rye from their fields. During the past few weeks we have been able to pay large prices for wheat for shipment, the sole conditicn being that the grain oonformed to the grade requirements of the markets. These conditions are arbitrary and may even be unjust, bul the fact remains that they must be conformed to structly. Wheat with rye is at once barred out and in consequence not a man in the county wiio had rye in his' wheat was able to ta.ka advantage of the high prices. While si.cn a bulgs may not come again, we advise farmers to be In line for it, if il does come, by raising wheat that v.iil grade. In this connection we attach a clipping which is worthy of attention; CUT OUT THE RYE. "During the pasL two or three years, there has been considerable trouble in this state caused by rye getting mixed ir. ihe wheat. A large quantity of wheat that would otherwise be of flne qualily is utterly ruined for milling purposes by the rye that is mixed through the grain, and many a dollar is lost to farmers that mlgfyt easily and readily be saved by the exercise of a little care during the next thirty days to cut the rye out of the wheat flelds. "Michigan millers require the best grade of perfectly clean wheat in order to produce flour of as flne a quality as they have been making the past ten years or more. Michigan íirst grade flours are justly celebrated in the most discriminating markets both at home and in foreign countries. This reputation cannot be maintained except by the use of first-class grain. Wheat mixed with rye bring only a low priee in any market. It is a well known fact that the growing of rye deteriorates the quality of wheat, creating i mongrel or hybrid variety. If we desire to improve the grades and varieties of our wheat we must keep it ibsolutly puee and free from rye. ners cannot spend a little time to jetter advantage than to go through the wheat-fields in Ihe early part of June and cut the rye out clean."
