strong In tone, but no higher prices
quoted. although some things which
have been relatively cheaper are really

: MOVING THE WHEAT CROP. +
Gigantic Industry Employing Millions of ~
Capital and Countless Hands. T.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

always Il politician. Every morning
during the days of harvest he receives
the reports Of the Board of Trade or
the Chamber of Commerce where his
wheat is likely to be sold. He has also
on his desk daily prices and a general
advisory letter from his commission
men.
The primary movement of wheat Is
the natural flow to the local -four mill,
where 1t Is ground to feed the farmers
family, and toward the granary, where
1t Is stored up for seed. Tine proper
ton Of wheat thus actually retained
and consumed in the country where it
Is grown is very large.
When the farmer has amply provided
for himself, he begins to think of sell
ing his surplus-which in 1893, for the
United States and Canada, amounted
to the enormous total Of 45O,OOO,OOO
bushels. OF this, something less than
half is consumed In the cities of the
United States and Canada, and some
thing more than half Is exported to
foreign countries, either as wheat or as
-four.
The wheat crop OF the average year
IS, therefore, divided into three more or
less equal parts, the first being con
sumed by the farmer and his immedi-
ate neighbors Of the smaller towns and
villages. the second going to supply the
concentrated masses of population In
the great cities, and the third being en-
norted MS wheat or -four to feed the
foreigner.
Mr.. Ray Stannard Baker. in an article
on the Movement of Wheat, in Nc
Clures Magazine, tells of the manner
in which the wheat crop is disposed Of
by the wheat farmer.
There are three general methods by
which this Is done. In the prolific
Northwest. where large numbers of
farmers are cultivating from 5000 to
10000 acres Of wheat year. where
the various farm buildings are con-
nected by telephone, where the plough
ing Is done by complicated machinery
where the farmer owns from two to
ten threshing machines. from twenty
to fifty reapers and hundreds Of cattle
and horses, the sale of crop becomes
a large business proposition.
But the great mass of smaller farm
ers. especially throughout the winter
wheat districts, still sell In the old
fashioned way, to the local elevator
man or buyer. They keep themselves
so thoroughly informed. however. as
to the reigning prices In the great
lnarts and the probabilities as to rise
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1900-08-09

At the present time the quantity OF
wheat which Is sent abroad from the
United States and Canada annually Is
about 25O,OOO,OOO. Yet this, large as
It is, will certainly be more than lou-
bled within the next ten years.
Sir william CrOokes, the distinguish
ed president of the British Association
for the Advancement Of Science, writ
Ing recently Of the proportion between
wheat production and wheat c0nsump-
ton, ventured to name the year 1891
a. date when the worlds bread-eat-
ers would cry for more wheat than the
worlds farmers could produce. This
may be an overestimate, yet the statis-
tics from which such prophecies are
drawn show how very closely the con-
sumner treads upon the heels of the pro-
Queer, and how imperative Is the neces-
sity of distributing the crop--grown
perhaps half world away from the
centers Of consumptiOn-as soon as 1t
Is shaken from the threshers In a mill
ion fields. in order that every white
man shall have his loaf, and have it
before his last supply has run out.
Great Britain eats her entire wheat
crop In about thirteen weeks. and then
she must be supplied Immediately with
the products Of America or Central
Russia or India. or else she must suffer.
If the United Kingdom be completely
blockaded. say by the ships of allied
Europe, her population would probably
be totally extnguished by starvation
within three months. The like is true
of every country In western Europe,
although In some of them actual star
walton could be much longer averted.
When a European thinks Of food he
thinks in terms of wheat. He is the
greatest of bread-eaters. Yet in the
best of years Europe never produces
enough. even including the crops from
the vast fields of Russia, to supply her
own needs. She Is therefore absolute
" dependent on the United States
Canada, India, Australia and Argen-
tine.
Progressive Wheat Growers.
The American and Canadian farmer,
and particularly the Northwestern
wheat farmer. who ploughs and reaps
and threshes by machinery without SO
much as touching his product with his
hands. Is becoming pre-eminently a
man Of business. The Governments
have supplied colleges for educating
him, and they send him regular bulle-
tins containing the results of long-con-
tinued experiments conducted by the
Department Of Agriculture. He is a
vida reader, sometimes q thinker, and

panies in Minneapolis, controlling l,S62
country elevators with a combined ca
pacity Of nearly 5O,00O.0OO bushels OF
wheat.
A single company controls 115 cOun-
try elevators having capacity OF H.
$50, 600 bushels Of wheat. And the
head Of this company is also the head
Of other companies there, having lines
OF elevators in Minnesota and the Da'
kotas with a combined storage capacity
of nearly 1OOOO.O0O bushels. lie also
has lines of elevators in Nebraska aud

Perhaps no one thing SO slmplifies
and facilitates the movement of wheat
as the present rigid system Of inspec-
ton and grading. In former times a
