According to a memorial which will
be presented to the President on his
return from the west, thirty-three trusts
are squeezing the life out of an i'm
portent industry, the manufacture Of
agricultural machinery. There is, it
seems, one agricultural machinery
trust which, because it mines the ore
and provides the raw material from
which 1t makes its products, is inde.
pendent of the trusts and it makes &c
per cent OF the agricultural machinery
of the country. The remaining 10
per cent. is made by various independ
ent companies and these are the Pre-
sident's petitioners. The lists o
thirty-three trusts, to which these in.
dependent manufacturers claim they
must pay "tubute", is too long for re
production here. The petitioner
claim that these trusts have put uT
the price on everything they have tc
buy, "arbitrarily and unnecessarily
until they have become "as mere er
rand boys" for the large concerns
They say this has even curtailed th
crops of the country because of tn
enhanced price of necessary machinery
The chief grievance is against tn
Steel Trust and the President an
Congress are urged to take remedia
steps.

From present indications the old
standbys for floral decoration purposes
on Memorial Day, lilacs, snowballs
and mock orange, will have lowered
and faded away by the time that day
comes around, owing to the early
spring. However, the red of the rose
has already appeared, and a new gar
den flower will evidently be used on
that day.

From our REGULAR Correspondent.
Washington, May IS, 1903.

Washington, May IS, 1903.
If any further evidence were needed
that Postmaster General Payne was
seeking by every means at his com
mand to prevent the revelations Of
corruption in the Postoffice Depart
ment, it has been furnished by his
treatment of the charges of Seymour
Tulloch, formerly cashier of the Wash
ington city postoffice. When Tul-
loch's charges, which had been pre-
pared at the special request Of the
Postmast General, were received
Mr.. Payne characterized them as shot
air., "stump speech, "nothing but
words, etc. Taking the verdict Of
the Postmaster General the public was
prepared to believe that Mr.. Tulloch
had failed to make good his charges.
Then, IN defense OF his position, Tul-
loch made public his statement and
the public were amazed TO find that
his charges were of most serious import
and were accompanied by abundant
detail. Later the Postmaster General
announced that in any instances
where he could ascertain that alleged
employees of the Department had en-
joyed sinecure, performing no work,
which Tulloch alleged in Il number of
instances, the Department would inn
medIately begin prosecution 10 re-
cover the salaries paid. While on its
face this appeared to be an expression
of great virtue, the inspectors are
aghast at the announcement which
they say will mean the absolute closing
of every avenue of information that
might have remained open to them.
1t will be recalled that when Mr..
Payne removed Machen, step which
the inspectors looked to as absolutely
essential because it would give EN-
ployees sufficient confidence to enable
the inspectors to get Information from
| them, the Postmaster General i'm
mediately took occasion to discharge
an employee who had made charges
which he could not substantiate, SO a,
to nullify the effect Of Machen's re
moval. Now, say the inspectors, the
Postmaster General has rendered all
their efforts futile by his latest pro
nunciamento. The question everyone
is asking is, "Wjll the President sane
ton this sort of proceedings" but it j:
admitted that only the removal of the
Postmaster General would efface the
impression he has so studiously Great
ed, that every person who imparts in
formation regarding the scandal will
get into trouble.

RAINS DO DAMAGE
Farmers in the Valley Of the Red
Cannot Get Their Thresh-
ing Done.
III Wind Blows Some Good for Soil

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D., Aug. 25.-Recent rains
have a tendency to discourage the farm
ers. The harvest Is practically over, as
far as barley and wheat is concerned.
and the rains prevent the threshing. If
the weather should turn warm there Is
danger of the wheat growing in the shock.
Even II it does not grow, the moisture
will stain the grain and knock off a grade.
j The short straw enables the farmer to
do more work In day, and the price
of wheat IS such that a large percentage
of them have evidently determined to put
their wheat on the market rather than
speculate by holding 1t. In the Red River
Valley there has been less wheat held
the last few years. Farmers who are in
olined that way sell their wheat and buy
options instead.
There Is always a silver lining to every
cloud, and the rains while detrimental to
wheat threshing, have resulted In putting
the soil In magnificent condition for fall
blowing. The fact that harvest was from
eight to ten days earlier than usual will
give the farmers an opportunity to get
the crop out of the way and do more fall
blowing than In other years.

! Fergus Falls, Mimi, Aug. 25-Harvest-
i Ing Is finished and stacking we'll advanced
thruout Otter Tail county. The grain in
general has never been put up In better
shape. Threshing has begun and actual
yields are now taking the place of guess
work, and, as expected, the crop is very
uneven.
Farms that have been properly culti-
waited and fertilized are justifying every
claim made for them On the Lohrneyer
farm the wheat yielded 26 bushels an
acre; the barley, 40 bushels, and fax II.
In the town Of Maine four farms aver
aged 10, TO- II and II bushels, respective
ily and this is considered fair average
yield. In Western township, yields of 16,
10 and bushels of wheat an acre are
reported .......... ...-.s-.. LII.
Oats in general are a light crop, and
yield very few bushels an acre more than
wheat. Corn continues to grow, but
warmer weather is needed to r1pen it.

The value of wheat flour for bread max
ing depends upon the amount of gluten con-
tanned in the proteids and the relative pro-
portion of gliadin contained in the gluten.
The total gluten in the macaroni -four Ia IL
per cent. which Is about one-ffth higher
than the average of good hard wheat flour.
From so to Is per cent Of the total gluten
| should be in the form of gliadin and in the
1nacaroni wheat 81 per cent existed gi1adin
and SO per cent as glutenin. This assures a
dough which will hold gas well when lib
Grated from the yeast or baking powder and
will rise well. Says Professor Snyder of
Minnesota: 1.-The most valuable Wheats for
bread making are those composed of go. to Is
per cent of gliadin and IS to 40 per cent
glutenin.'' We have just this condition in the
sample of macarcni flour fro mthe Minor
MILL
From sample Of bread recently examined
I am convinced that the macaront wheat will
produce, when properly handled, superior
! -four, from which can be produced bread of
| good quality, of excellent flavor and more
| highly heterogeneous than the -four now in
use
| 1t would not be strange it, in few years
more experience, mfllers find macaroni wheat
bearing the same important relation to the
hard wheats that the latter formerly bore to
| the soft wheats.
| A wheat possessed of superior chemical
qualities is bound to win for itself place as
| did the hard wheats when they were first
grown. Each has to pass thru the critical
period Of its history in milling processes and
| in winning favor.

He is credited with the development of the

has had a free hand to extend the system In
any direction he might choose, either by
