A FARMER SPEAKS.

En-. REPoRrEE As You offer yonr col
un,ns to the farmer to offer his views on
different subjects of interest 10 that class
! concluded it would not be out oil order
To taik little about wheat.
First. / would like 10 know why our
wheat dealers tell us that White Fife and
Blue Stem are soft and will not grade in
any market as hard wheat, an at the
same time are grading them as No. |
Hard IN our market? | have seen one
mans checks that call for No. hard.
while others that have less amount to
sell tell me they get No. northern.
This is not business. Let all wheat grade
just what it is and then We can tell just
what kind grades the highest.
/ am of the opinion that farmers would
do better to SOW the pure Scotch Fife.
Some say it don't yield enough per acre.
Suppose We fall short one-fourth in
yield, it will only have tendency to
raise the price by furnishing better
article for the market in less quantity,
and the price overcoming the excess
now produced will leave you in better
shape than before. For example, let u:
see what we are dong. We are filling
the warehouses and elevators with smut
ty wheat, cookie and buekwheat; bu
yuu say they dock US for all that. Well
let us see what il does for U.s. The grair
dealer must have more room. more hell
lit costs just as much to ship bushel o
poor wheat as of good. When this poo
wheat gets to the mill they take out thu
best and mike II into flour. The poor
est is ground up into an inferior grade o
-four, and the balance thrown on th'
market for feed. Here is where we fail
Let every farmer SOW nothing but bar,
wheat, and fan every bushel before it i
marketed, sell nothing but a good mil
ling article and thus keep cheap feed o.
the eastern market; get this poor whea
ground and put into beef. If we cal
keep cheap feed away from the eastern
market, our beef viii command bette
prices. Just let US take share of gu
bad luck on our own shoulders, ack
nowledge our had management and tax
sensible steps to correct it. If We 80,
enough hard wheat this season, we wi
be in better shape in the fall as to price
and. of course, better able to improy
our facilities for the next spring work.
Think by the time we examine All
see what we have been doing, We wi
take different course. l would like
hear from some old Northwestern fal
mer on this subject.
Respectfully,
E F. LOOMS.
