vOLsTEAD ON FREE WHEAT.

4
| Following are a few para
graphs from Congressman
Volstead's great speech against
free Canadian wheat:
If it is true that the Can
adian wheat is Of better quality
than ours, and that there is in
prospect an inexhaustible sup
ply as is contended for by my
colleague, then it behooves the
American farmer to insist upon
protection. To admit free such
wheat could have but one re-
suit. Thepeople of this country
will not be satisfied by getting
any mixture; they will de-
mand the best, and there will
be hundreds of mills ready to
supply that demand. Instead
of demand for American
wheat there will spring up a
demand for Canadian wheat.
This is the market where the
highest and best grades can
always be sold. ThisCanadian
wheat would take the place of
Jour wheat, and ours would be
compelled to seek another
market.
To-day the products of the
northwestern mills are largely
sold in America, and the farmer
is getting an extra price on that
account. The proposition is to
largely deprive him of this
market. Do you think the
farmers of the Northwest are
ready to do this withouta MUIR
muir? To do this would be
absolutely unfair. They have
in times past been compelled
to pay as high as 30 cents per
bushel to place their wheat on
the Liverpool market, and have
patiently waited and hoped to
secure a market nearer home.
To that end they have submit
ed to a tariff on lumber, coal,
and a thousand other articles
which they greatly need, and
now when the day has come
when this market has been
created and the tariff on wheat
is of some value to them it is
proposed to repeal it and de-
stroy the value of this market,
and if tariff on wheat can not
be repealed, to change the law
in regard to shipping in bond,
so that wheat can be ground
here for reshipment, but allow
ing the bran and shorts to re-
main free of duty in competi-
ton with like products in this
country, and with corn, oats,
and other feed products. The
people of Minneapolis have re-
ceived in full measure the |
benefit of protection, and it is
nothing but fair that they
should allow the farmers their
share. Labor will not begrudge
their coworkers on the farm a
living profit. The reason for

The Biggest Hop Yard.

KrebS Bros, near independence,
Ore, have 400 acres in hops-the larg-
est hop yard in the world, and its
operation will entail an enormous eX-
penditure. Two hundred men will be
employed during the cultivating sea-
son, and the estimated expense of Guilt
walton, ETC., up to picking time, is $16,-
coo. Under favorable crop conditions
it will require 1000 pickers to harvest
the crop from this enormous yard,
and the expense of harvesting is esti-
mated at $4,000. With the twenty
four kilns the Krebs brothers will be
prepared to handle 81 600 pounds OF
hops (dried) or 800 bales per day.
1t is also the intention of the Krebs
brothers to install an electric plant on
their farm and to bale and handle the
hops by electric power. The plant will
be operated by 45-horse power steam
engine.
This monstrous hop yard is set out
on 400 acres of the richest river bot
tom land to be found anywhere, and is
expected to yield an enormous crop of
hops.
Krebs Bros, T. A. Livesley & Co.,
and B. o. Schuckling & Co. have
Jointly placed an order with the Amer
lean Steel Wire Co., of Pittsburg, Pa,
for fifteen car loads of galvanized hop
wire, to be used in their several yards,
and which will take the place of poles.
By the wire system but twenty-five
poles are required to the acre, while
the old system required $50 poles.
The wire system saves much labor
and reduces the expense of cultiva-
ton by Sc or 81 per acre.

Oreqon's Butter Output.

estate Dairy and Food Commission
er j. w. Bailey reports that in 1902
Oregon produced 100000 pounds of
creamery butter valued at 100000;
100000 pounds of dairy butter val
ued at $630,000; 2,225,000 pounds of
cheese valued at $267 900, and milk
and cream other than that used for
butter valued at $1,800,000. The total
returns for that year were $3,597 900.
He states that in 1903 the figures are
as follows:
Creamery butter 100000 pounds
valued at $1,525000; dairy butter
100000 pounds, valued at 100000;
cheese 100000 pounds, valued at
100000; milk, valued at 100000,
and cream other than that used for
butter, valued at $450,000. Total value
of products, $4.595, 900.
Reports show that prices are prac-
tically the same as in 1902, with the
exception of milk delivered by wagons.
In this instance dairymen are receiv-
ing and consumers are paying about
II per cent advance for milk delivered
by the quart Within the past two
years condensers have been estab-
lished in the state. In 1900 the wage
earners received 1892 of the $685.
222 received for the milk, cheese and
butter product of Oregon. This ques-
ton was asked:
eff in 1903 the milk, cheese and
butter product of Oregon was valued
at $4,595,000, what portion did the
wage Garner receive" Taking the
same ration as in 1900 when the wage
earners received $27,302 of the $685.
222 paid for the dairy product, there
should be paid for labor $196,258 out
of $4,595,000.

PuyaIIup Valley Berry Shipments.

Puyallup Valley Tribune: The Berry
Association has closed up the rasp-
berry business and finds the receipts
of red raspberries for the season of
1904 to be 44,445 crates, for which
cash was received to the amount of
$43,6334S, which is very close to one
dollar per crate.
This is a most excellent showing
when is is known that the full car
load shipments, consisting of 17,465
crates, averaged but 621a cents per
crate, and during the three rainy days
of July more than 5000 crates of wet
berries were marketed.
There were 1881 crates marketed
at an average of $1.35 per crate, which
is a marvellous showing for this year,
when every class of fruit was so very
plentiful.
The carload shipments of red rasp-
berries made by the association did
not prove a success for several rea-
sons The climatic conditions left the
berries in bad condition for long
shipments; the 20,000-pound minimum
required by the railroad company was
a serious drawback, as the refriger-
ator cars will not refrigerate more
than $4,000 pounds of berries; the
crop of 1904 consisted of many new
berries which do not carry well, and
the officers of the association say that
members are growing more careless
each year. All of these circumstances,
combined, operated against higher
prices. In addition to these unfavor-
able conditions, the Minnesota grow
ers marketed $4,000 crates of raspber-
ries. as against 10000 crates in 1908.

of the same sound. When he has mas
tered the ordinary processes of cipher
ing, it is very likely to be undesirable
to force him to spend years more on
the mysteries of double proportion,
cube root, complex and compound frac-
lions, Formulation, exchange, etc. All
these have their place, but it is in an
arithmetic which belongs at least to
secondary education, if not later still.
They are not a necessary part of the
common basis, which is indispensable
for all subsequent training, and they
often lead to needless Encouragement
at tender age, and to deplorable
waste of time and opportunity.

Eads in the Schools

Not alone in the state of Washing
ton, but in every nook and corner of
the United States, are the people pro
testing against the fads which are
steadily creeping into the public
schools, says the Seattle Argus. In all
lines of religion, politics, business and
even educational things periodically
get bad. They drift on from bad to
worse until the time comes when the
people arise in their might, tear out
the old pages, and commence all over
again on a new basis. That that pc
liod is almost here, so far as educa-
ton is concerned, there can be no
doubt. Before long the people will
wake up sweep sewing, chopping kind
ling wood and foolishness of all sorts
out of the public schools, and get them
back to what they were twenty years
ago-an institution to be proud OF,
branch of the government which was

Hon. Whitelaw Reid recently deliv-
cred an able address at the forty-sec-
ond convocation of the University of
New York. There was much material
in his address for reflection, the most
important of it is here. Read it:
You will pardon me then, if | spend

reminding you of some fundamental
principles, almost aXioms, that we
should never loose sight of in the
common schools. There is nothing
new about them; their Importance is
merely that they are everywhere and
forever true.
We have seen that there must first
be heights against which the educa-
tional ladder can rest. The exact point
where the top of this ladder is support
ed may vary; but there can be no vari-
alton or uncertainty about the support
for it's foot That is the vital con-
Germ. Unless the foot of the ladder is
solidly grounded, the higher you climb
the worse the fall
First then we must insist that the
common schools really teach, with a
thoroughness not yet so generally at
tanned as is needful, the three things
that make the common basis for all
subsequent work. The pupils should
learn till they really know how to
read, write and cipher Until you
make absolutely sure of that, let us
have fewer frills.

breathing.
You have not taught writing until
you have made it equally easy, equally
exact, and besides have taught it with
out fads. Not only must the char
acters be legible, rather than obscure
ly elegant, but the words must be
spelled as they are now spelled in
English literature. No doubt there is
a place in the scheme of the universe
for insatiate reformers-even for spell
ling reformers; but their place is not
in the common school room. Your
business there is to teach what the lit
erature of the English speaking world
has accepted-not what the reformers
think it ought to accept or even be-
lieve it is going to accept. Your
warrant from the state, in this very
ground work of all learning, is not for
teaching debatable things, contentious
things, but the things now accepted
and built upon and embodied in our
standards, and you are to teach others
only when they have been accepted.
Again, just as nothing can take the
place of an absolute readiness in thus
reading and writing the English Ian
guage. so nothing can take the place or
an absolute mastery of the multiplied
ton table. To the boy or girl to
whom you do not give that in child
hood, together with the common things
it stands for, you are turning out into
the world a cripple for life. If he can
not add and subtract, multiply and di-
vide with the readiness and precision
of a machine, il this work is not in

step in his whole subsequent career.
But here again, | pray you, no fads
not even the metric fad. Teach the
weights and measures a child Will
have to use in every day life in New
York today; and teach them thor
oughly, but leave the weights and
measures he may need half century
hence for later period, II any, In
his education. Keep the metric cranks
out of the common schools. 1hey are
all most respectable people, and some
of them so emcient that l speak OF
luem with a certain awe. No doubt
cranks, as they have been known to
boast sometimes make revolutions, and
NAV move the world All right; when
they have made this revolution and
moved our part of the world to the
metric system, then use the money and
authority of the state to teach the
metric system, to the children OF the
state schools. Till then concentrate
your energies in teaching them better
the weights and measures they have to
use now; don't send out so many pu-
pills who do not know what part OF a
gallon a gill is, or how many yards
long and wide an acre is, or how to
measure the masonry in a ten-foot
brick wall eighteen inches wide, or
hundred feet of inch and half hem
lock boards.
Let us avoid the common mistake OF
striving for a foundation too big for
the probable superstructure, when the
child has mastered reading, it may or
may not be desirable to carry him on
to the best English literature and to
the history of it's development When
he has mastered spelling, and writing,
