frequently been suggested that tho Gov.

money on the cr'p products depJsits-d
there. This plan has Deen tho central
idea of several farmers organizations.
It WAS clearly set forth. for exam .,le,
in the propaganda of the FxrD1en' Al
lance. To this scheme there h,a bs,en
,Iue fatal object. 1t presents spcies 1t

WHY GOVERNMENT AID Is rMPRAC-

This question recently came before .
meeting ot farmers which ATTENDED at
Minneapolis At All informal talk on
that occasion | made a tentative suggrs-
tion' that this paternal feature might
be avoided il the Government were to
TAX corn growers one cent b,ishel On
their crop and use the fund thus accruing
for the building of grain WAREHOUSES and
for making limited advances. at . low
rate of interest, on thu crop This, I
must confess, was al OffnaDd opininn
which attracted much more Widespread
attention than desired and to which an
undue weight Vt imp 'rtanoe was at-
tached. Without careful reflection and
analy sis it seemed T., me, AT tho moment,
that this plan would do away with any
real ground for tho charge that. und r

SMALL FARMERS AT THE MIDDLE
MANS MERCY.
T In attempting to formulate sngges-
ton for feasible scheme of coublna-
tlon aud cooperation among farmers, one
TACT is of vital and paramount import
ance. This is that the price of corn, ~
nf every other crop which comes int"
the general market, Is lowest when III"
bulk of the crop is moving out of the
hands Of the farmer
This is the key to the whole situation
The crop statistics for the last ten years,
that is to say, from 1891 to 1900 inclu-
sive, show that there has been diff
ference of from ten per cent. to twenty
per cent. in the cash price of corn be-
tween the first few months following the
harvest aud the months ending the crop
year. In other words, wlleH the renter
and poor farmer, who must dispose OF
their corn as soon after harvest rs it Is
ready to ship, have corn to sell, the
prices are from ten per cent. to twenty
per cent. lower than at the period when
this class of farmers have nothing to sell
because their holdings have passed into
the bands of the middlemen land here
do not mean the country grain buyers)
who, with little or no risk or labor on
their part, secure as much profit for fur
nishing buildings in which the crop may
be stored until wanted for consump: ion
as the farmer gets for his years Toll oI
that crop with the risk of its failure
In view of this fact, there is no escape
from the conclusion that the central ub.
ject to be aimed at in formulating a
practicable plan for farmers trust, so
lar as crop raisers are concerned, must
he the disposition of the first aud heaviest
movement or the corn crop at as high Il
price as possible
The only person to be unfavorably af-
fected by such result would be the mid.

period of higher prices
Or course it must be recognized that
there is a class of w-ll.t4io forehanded
farmers who are not compelled To realz.-
upon their crop as soon a. il has be,en
harvested,2 but are in position to bide
their time until the middlemen has put
up the prices, at the time when he
has the main part of the crop under his
control. This class does not include tn.

THE SOUTH FOR WHEAT.

Col. j. B. Killebrew, of Tennessee,
who has been experimenting with the
wheat crop, answers Northern
paper, that undertakes to criticise
the advisability of wheat raising in
the South in a very convincing man.
ner, showing that our Southern lands
can be made to yield enormous crops
Of wheat. The North, because of the
fact that wheat and corn are their
standard crops, would, no doubt, be
very glad to discourage the idea OF
planting wheat to any great extent
in the South. But blessed as we are
with climate and a soil that will
produce almost any crop, we should
utilize it to the best advantage, aud
rs to the quality Of the -four made
from our home raised wheat, it will
be remembered that very little Of it
finds it's way to the general market,
simply because it is Of superior quail
ity that it is practically absorbed for
consumption in the districts where
it is grown. 1t is more nutricious,
more healthy and the consumer has
learned this fact by comparison.
Col Killebrew in his reply says:
"I can name Mr.. Wolf, Of Manches-
ter, Tenn, (formerly from Indiana,)
who has been growing twenty-five
bushels Of wheat on land that hereto
fore produced only six or se, en-
bushels. can name Mr.. j. A. Gum
ingham, Of Kimmins, Tenn, who
raised twenty-six bushels of wheat
per acre on a 6O-acre field, where
formerly five or six bushels were
considered fair yield. can name
Raht Brothers, of Tullahoma, who
grew twenty-five bushels of wheat
per acre on 200 acres that had here
tofore been considered practically
worthless for the growing Of cereals
Of any kind. can name the many
experiments made by reason of the
premiums offered by the Macon Tele-
graph, in which twenty-five to forty
bushels of wheat were grown in num-
erous places in Georgia"
Col Killebrew then,declared that in
twenty years, should prices and de-
mand justify it, the South can easily
produce 500, 600, 900 bushels Of wheat
on $4,000, 900 acres Of land. The
most luxuriant crops of wheat grown
in North America, are grown in Cali
fornia, in the same isotherms as Ten.
"nessee and North Georgia. 1t
cannot be maintained, that the South
ern States are not equally as we'll
adapted to the production Of wheat
as the States north of the Ohio River
This error has been propagated and
fostered in the minds of the Northern
people because wheat and corn are
their standard crops, while they are
ouly subordinate crops in the cotton
and tobacco growing States. Apply
the same skill and intelligence to the
growing of wheat in the South and the
yield will equal, il not surpass, any
States in the North. Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, OF boston, shares Col KILL
brew's views, as he has expressed
the opinion that ''the unoc cnpied
lands" alone, in only three of the
Southern States and Territories,
"could produce the present wheat
crop of the United States"

THREE LITTLE GIRLS
In a Bad Train Wreck On the
Northern Pacific.
They Were On Their Way From
COlfax To Tacoma To
Join Their Father.

In wreck of westbound Northern
racine passenger train one and One-half
miles west OF Selah canyon, seven miles
from North Yakima, Sunday morning
at I:3O O'Clock. three little COlfax girls
faced horrible death, but luckily came
out unscathed, with the exception of
one, who was slightly bumped on the
head.
The children were the three little
daughters of Henry Hulin, Elsie, aged
10; Bertha, Z, and Freda 5. 1t was the
youngest whose head was slightly
bumped. The little girls were travelling
alone, on their way to Tacoma to Join
their father They were detained IS
hours by the wreck, but were kindly
cared Tor by trainmen and fellow pass
engers. Harry Hulin received a letter
wednesday announcing their safety.
Went Through a Trestle.
North Yakima, Wash, Jan. 13.-The
westbOund Northern Pacific passenger
was wrecked at 1870 this morning at the
mouth OF Selah canyon seven miles from
this city. Seven coaches were thrown
from the track and badly demolished.
The injured are Hugh P. Hall, knee
bruised and leg sprained; f. D. Burge,
San Francisco, leg bruised; Drabilia En-
drlne, Buda Pest, arm bruised; P. Nc
Elwell, mail clerk, elbow dislocated; G..
W. Turner, Seattle, colore1 porter, knee
cap smashed, and Harry II. Collier
OF Tacoma, editor of the Pacific Poultry
man, bruised on body.
Mr.. Collier was sleeping in the rear of
the tourist car, which was completely
crushed into splinters and covered by
the dining car.
The wreck was caused by the washout
OF dry canyon bridge 100 feet long,
spanning kittitas creek. The heavy
rains OF yesterday and melting SHOWS
had let a large volume of water down
the canyon. This undermined the
timbers, which gave way. The train
was proceeding carefully when Engineer
K. Baird felt the bridge sinking and
threw the throttle wide open, the engine
passing over, but the tender went down
IL feet. All of the coaches with the ex-
ception of the last sleeper were derailed
and the bodies detached from the
trucks. The dining car sDanned the gap
in the bridge, crushing the tourist car,
and was partly covered by one of the
sleepers. The engine and rear Pullman
we're the only ones left with wheels and
standing on the track. rail entered
the door of the day coach and crushed
through the center of the car and out at
the roof without iDiuring the passengers
sitting on either side.
