went to California. This left US short,
and fond US at the next harvest with
barely enough wheat TO produce the
-four needed for home use. Following
this came the dry season from which
we got only about three-fourths of a
crop of wheat, so that there is left only
about enough to last Us to next har-
vest. Any expectation over that which
has already taken place will be of no
benefit to the farmer whatever, for the
reason that wheat can be brought into
the city from the State of Oregon and
Washington Territory and laid down for
one dollar per bushel, and as the figure
of the home market has nearly reached
that price now there is little room left
for the figure to rise, as those who eX
port Utah wheat can IS well handle
that of Oregon when the price OF ours
goes over 81 per bushel.
The Inauguration of The new mills
will naturally create better home
market for the wheat of this section
and the construction of mills further
south will also prove of benefit to far
mers in that region and make their
wheat of more value than it has been
in the past. 1t is unlikely, in nay judg-
ment, that wheat will be as low again
as it has been in the past and for sew
eraI reasons. Our wheat is recognized
as very fine for -four making and is
therefore preferred to that raised in
Kansas and Nebraska, and for this
reason Colorado will always prefer
it when it can be had. Then
instead of importing -four, as we
have done, we now make as good
-four as is produced anywhere. and we
have opened an export trade that ex-
tends to Montana, Idaho, Nevada,
Wyoming and Colorado. This trade
will grow, naturally, together with the
home consumption, as will als) the de-
strive to keep up the grade of excel
stances will combine to make the
wheat crop of Utah more saleable and
therefor more valuable than it has been
in the past.
Certainly, farmers should take more
pride in keeping their wheat clean, that
1t may be in a satisfactory state to offer
TO the market. Much of the wheat that
now comes in contains wild oats, smut,
and sunhower stalks, and these are
always paid for by the miller in buying
the wheat, and which he would be very
glad to do without. Moreover, there
certainly is something wrong with the
mode of threshing, as quite a percent
age of most of the wheat purchased is
chopped by the threshe-.
AS a territJry we are in need of
stringent measures that will secure for
US statictics as to the amount of grain,
vegetables and general produce for each
year, that is produced in our borders.
By this means we will cease to be in
ignorance as to our supplies of the
various articles we raise, and cease to
be in doubt as to the quantity necessary
for our consumption until the coming
of another harvest. II is a question
with thinking men whether we have
now sufficient wheat to supply our
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-12-25

wants until after next harvest. Sup
pose we were visited. as we have been
in the past more than once, with a
grasshopper plague, we would be under
the necessity of importing most of our
breadstuffs from other quarters for a
year, at the very least. Hence l can
clearly see the necessity of having fnlly
one years surplus on hand always. If
we had a Territorial law that would
compel the owners of every thresh1ng
machine to report to proper officer
the amount of wheat threshed by their
machine each season within the Terri
tory, and a further law requiring the
railroads to report the amount of
wheat or -four exported. we could then,
by making suitable deductions for our
consumption. ascertain with reasonable
de6niteness, the quantity + wheat on
hand and determine whether We could
afford to let any wheat go out of the
Territory or not.
1t is also unlikely that the market
W II ever be glutted as in the past.
Apart from the reasons already given,
there can be no denying the fact that
extensive elevators will not long be de-
layed in this region, and the demand
for wheat which they will create will
keep the market pretty steady and
secure for the farmer a more
certain sale, and one in which
the quotations are less PEE
carious than at present. 1 certainly
think the outlook for the farmer is such
that he has no reason to complain, and
that hereafter, if the character of our
wheat is maintained, the returns all
along will be much more certain and
satisfactory than they have been for
many years.

millers as good rate on their -four and
other mill products as they do to out
side parties, on wheat shipped out of
the country, the millers could largely
extend their trade and would soon be
able to handle all the wheat raised
here and ship it out in the shape of
manufactured material There are
enough mills in the country to do this,
if run up to their full capacity, and
why the railroads do not do SO, is
question 1 cannot explain, as it seems
to ne, if tn Y would, it would benefit
them and the people here, in building
up this section of the country. With
this it would seem that the milling
interests as well as those of the farmer
of this section would have nothing to
fear, and hopes for the future would be
very hattering, provided the farmers
would look to their interests by intro
ducing fresh seed grain, give more time
to rotation of crops, to summer fallOw-
ing and to keeping the wheat pure and
free from the mixtures now so COM
mon. Otherwise they will lose the
prestige they have gained at home and
abroad, they will destroy the reputa-
ton of the -four their wheat has made,
and they will not only get poor prices
for their grain, but coming in contact
with their more thoughtful and pains
taking competitors, will lose both the
home and foreign market for their
wheat. GEO w. THATCHER.

this fact, however, it makes -four tn; t
is inferior to none, and is rated highly
among millers. Another drawback is
found in the failure of farmers to prac-
tice rotation in crops. This is
necessary to give the soil a
rest and to preserve in it the
more needed nutritious chemical prep
critics for the crops that bear heaviest
stra.n upon the ground. 1t is impos-
sibIe to raise, year, after..year the same
quar-. tity or the same quality of wheat
that can be procured from a farm
where the soil is well MANFRED and
where the practice is to rotate the
crops and to summer fallow the ground
at regular intervals. Exp erts have
stated that the Cache Valley wheat
should make the best -four in the
world, and there is little doubt that,
had proper care been taken to keep the
wheat clean aud free from mixture,
and the ground been properly Guilt
waited and fortified, that it would do so
to-day.
The acreage devoted to wheat raising
in the valley has increased very rapidly,
but the yield to the acre has decreased,
owing to the fact that the ground has
been over cropped, and that it has not
been MANFRED. The production, has,
however. very largely increased. The
average Weld per acre can hardly exceed
twenty-five bushels, though there is no
reason whatever why it should not be

the acre. Both these estimates, in
clude the lanu upon which grain is
raised NATURALIZATION, and, of course,
we find that our irrigation acts as fer
tilizer to the soil and produces better
than the countries which depend upon
rain.
The number of miles is increasing
year by year, and the capacity of those
in operation is also being enlarged.
Whether the business is sufficient to
Justify this increase or not, it is IN
doubtedly true that the farmer will be
benefited, since it will give HIM a more
certain market for his grain, and better
prices are more than likely to prevail.
The favor with which Cache Valley
wheat is received in Colorado is also a
measure of protection to the farmer, as
it gives him an outside market
As l estimate it, Cache Valley pro-
duces about 5000 bushels of wheat a
year, and this amount is gradually in
creasing as new ground is broken up
and seeded. of this the local mills now
convert not less than $50 600 bushels
into -four, leaving a surplus of some
$50 900 of grain to be disposed of, which
is done principally in feeding stock and
shipment.
Cache Valley has nine -four mills,
and as the wheat raised in this valley
is of an unusually good milling char
acter, there is no doubt that the expor-
tation of -four will grow so as

sumption of the wheat raised

A few years ago the people here had
to import -four. Since that time there
has been an increase, and a material
increase, in the number of roller mills.
Ten that 1 know of have gone up in
the last twelve months, and as result
we have effectually closed the market
against the importation of flour,
though there may be seasons when
there will be a necessity for the impor-
tation of grain. Two years ago the
country was drained of grain, which

The only trouble with wheat raised
in Cache Valley, is that the farmers do
not change varieties often enough, nor
do they keep it sufficiently clean. from
which causes it has tendency to de-
generate in quantity. In consequence
of this it is not as valuable for milling
purposes and does not bring them as
much as it would otherwise. Despite
