CHAPTER L-CoNTINUED.

It was not only the terrible NAL
formation OF the limb, the hand being
bent and twisted, the fingers stunted
and cramped, and destitute of the
least shape or purpose Of utility; but,
dreadful to behold! around the wrist

moment the appearance of a newly
made cut, from which the blood
seemed just about to start. She
made a feint of unconsciously

She would not, as she might have
done, take advantage of his discom-
future to expose to himself his shallow
heart; but, as he trifed with the
books upon the table, trembling with
haste to get away, she even helped
him with an apology, and, with thanks
aor herself and her mother, "must de-

Then, with regrets studiously polite,

Pullman is promising much in the
way of Improvements this summer.
Besides the new $4,000 school house to
be built soon, several large brick build
ings and number of smaller ones, will
be erected, besides many dwelling
houses, In addition, the capacity of the
present system of water works will be
doubled by the building of a large reser
voir. An iron boundary, large flour
mill and bottling works are on the list
of manufactures proposed to be estab
lished. The town is certainly prosperous,
and will become one of the most import
ant in Eastern Washington if this
growth is maintained.

UNITED STATES SENATE.

WASHINGTON, ID. e.. March 20 1891.
Hon. Edwin Willis, Assistant Secretary of
Agrculture-DEAR SIR: l am in receipt of
your letter Of the 10Th instant enclosing small
package of wheat with accompanying letter from
L. j. Northcutt, Esq, of Pullman Whitman
county, Washington. You call my attention to
the fact that this letter claims the acre of land
upon which the wheat was grown yielded 101
bushels and II pounds and desire to know what
can say as to the reliability of Mr.. Northcutt
and the representation he makes of this enor-
nous yield.
In reply L will say that l visited Pullman,
Whitman county, during the latter part Of last
October. L met with a number of the most re-
liable men of the state, who assured me of their
own knowledge that the representation made by
Mr.. Northcutt entirely correct that the
grower of the wheat is one of the most RESPONSE
BILE farmers of the cOmmu lity. and his state
ments were verified by many of his neighbors
Visiting the industrial exposition of the north
west, al the city of Spokane Falls, day or two
later l found the yield of this acre on exhibition
accompanied by the most indisputable proof of
the correctness of the representation. You can
rely upon the statements contained in Mr.
Northcutt's letter being true throughout.
The yield of Whitman county last year. which,
by the way, is one of the largest counties in the
state, was perhaps the greatest of any equal area
IN the history of wheat culture in the United
States. Frequent yields of farms ranging from
100 to LOCO acres were 40, 45, 30, and in some
instances 60 bushels per acre, and gentleman
well informed upon the subject tells me a num-
Der OF farms furnished a larger average than
have mentioned.
Upon none of the lands was irrigation en-
ployed, nor have they been as yet in any manner
fortified. Thus far the heavy yield has oc-
casioned no apparent diminution of the pro-
ductiveness of the soil, which is largely of a
volcano formation underlaid with sub-soil
that shows remarkable tenacity in retaining
moisture for the supply of the growing crops.
l trust the information afforded in the letter
of Mr.. Northcutt may have the effect of especial
ly calling the attention of the agricultural de
partment to the wheat growing capacity of east
ern Washington. Very truly, JOHN B. ALLEN

That NOrthcutt Wheat,

On the 9TH day of March E. j. North
'utt mailed Benjamin Harrison. presi-
lent of the United States, sample Of
the wheat of which he raised 1O1 bushels
and eleven pounds from single acre.
The sample was accompanied by letter
from Mr.. Northcutt, but those who were
acquainted with the circumstance at the
time supposed that the matter would
end with the mailing of the sample
Not so, however, for in the East the
enormous yield reported from Pullman
was regarded either as fake or a matter
TO be further looked into. That it was
looked into is proven by the following.

has caused quite ripple in the agri-
cultural circles of the capital. 1t was
addressed by E. J. Northcutt Of Pullnan
to the president. 1t astonished the
gentleman from Indiana and he referred
it promptly to the agricultural depart
ment, not being at all certain that Mr..
Northcutt was a sane person or that he
was not at least joker
Accompanying the letter was a sample
of wheat, and it was claimed that over
l0l bushels of it had been raised on one
acre.
The following subsequent correspond
ence is self-explanatory:

The land on which this wheat grew was not
irrigated. 1t was sown Oct. /. 1889, and harvest

maps IN the world, to raise that amount of wheat

The above letter was referred to the
agricultural department.. Assistant Sec
rotary Wilt examined the sample and
was mutually curious to know something
