The wheat Outlook.
The weekly crop report left much to
be desired in the way Of information
about spring wheat. From the reading
of the report II was hard to determine
whether spring wheat had improved or
deteriorated. The Produce Exchange
traders, however. interpreted the in
formation as meaning an improvement
and prices broke rather sharply. Cot
ton conditions, however, were said TO
be not so good and cotton jumped
above II cents. The best judges how
ever, believe that the cotton crop will
be close to a record one, and that there
will be a bigger yield Of wheat than
the government reports would indicate.

American Hearts.
From the Boston Transcript.
When one starts to adorn his library
or study walls with portraits of Ameri-
can heroes certain names inevitably
are suggested as appropriate. but
strange to say there are no American
women whose portraits are commonly
seen on the walls of our homes with
anything like the frequency of Wash
ington, Lincoln, Dongfellow, Whittier,
might be mentioned.
In 1900 when the balloting for names
to adorn the Hall of Fame in New
York city was done no woman re-
ceived a sufficient number of ballots
to make the place; but 1t may be in
teresting in view of the proposition
now to have a hall OF fame for wom-
en-, to know who the women were who,
in competition with men, were deemed
worthy to be considered as candidates
for the place. They were Mary Lyon
and Emma Willard among educators,
Dorothy Lynde Dix and Lucretia
Mott among philanthropists, Charlotte

Railroad Earnings Keep Up.

Railroad gross earnings have been
maintained in a surprising manner.
Comparison of market value per mile
of railroad now with that of 1902 at
this time and comparison of gross and
net earnings per mile of road now and
then would make a showing that would
surprise most people.
The earnings for July have shown
decreases which are natural when it
is considered that the earnings for the
corresponding month of 1903 were phe-
nomenal. 1t is probable now that the
gross receipts will show decreases I'M
til December, but if the winter is nor
NAL the lost ground will be made up
during the last seven months of the
fiscal year. In fact, with any kind of
business revival the receipts during the
next two months may be equal to those
for the same months last year.
Taking into consideration the outlook
for railroad earnings, the excellent
crop prospects, better steel and iron
conditions and the promise for a gem
eral revival of business, it is probable
that the big men of Wall street are
right and that those who buy stocks
on every reaction will make money.

INCREASES VALUE OF LAND
Experiences of Rocky Ford, Col, Sugar
Beet Growers.

Extensive tests have convinced the
promoters of the North Yakima Beet
Sugar factory that the climate. soil. wa
tire and all other essential conditions
in the beet sugar business are more fa.
vorable in the Yakima valley than are
those OF the section around Rocky Ford
Col, and in view of that belief the fol-
lowing letter received few DAYS ago
by VIM. Shearer of Toppenish will be
read with interest by those who are hes.
itating before planting beets
Rocky Ford, Col, Nov. %. l9O4.-Mr.
W. L. Shearer, Toppenish, Wash: Dear
Sir-ln regard to our beet sugar fac.
tory l will say to start with that it is
success here and very big paving
proposition for our farmers. especially
under our present basis of payments.
Our land produces a superior quality
OF beet, containing large per cent of
sugar. The company pays the growers
5000 per ton straight unless they run
below certain per cent of sugar. which
does not occur here. They also receive
portion of the pulp. which is a verv
fine feed for stock. Our yield is from
IL TO 30 tons per acre On good land
and with proper cultivation and care
crops will average from Is to % tons per
acre. Some growers will bring their
yield up to 25 and sometimes 80 tons
1t is an expensive crop to raise on ac.
count of so much hand work to weed and
thin the young plants which has to be
done. and to top them. If labor is
high 1t costs from $25 to $50 per acre to
care for and harvest a crop. But even
then, with fair to good crop. you will
see there is money in it for the grower,
Besides, since the factory started our
land has increased in value more than
hundred per cent.
The capacity of our plant is 1000 tons
every "a hours. This fall the factory
commenced grinding beets October lst
and will run full capacity until about
March lst. During this time they en-
ploy about 450 men at the factory. wages
being from l5c to 35c per hour.

INDICATIONS GOOD FOR
A LARGE ATTENDANCE
The State Fruit Growers Meeting Prom
Uses to be Very Interesting One
in Every Detail.

The next meeting of tine fruit growers
of the state will be held at Wenatchee
on the 4th, 5th and 9th of January and
from present indications it will be large
ly attended by the fruit growers from
this section, quite number having al
ready signified their intention of attend
ing Efforts are being made to get the
growers at Sunnyside, Kennewick, Kiona
and Prosser also interested, as mucn de-
ponds on representative showing from
this, the baner fruit growing district of
the state, principally among which is the
securing for North Yakima the meeting
in January, 1906. The Spokane people
are anxious to see the convention here
that year and will lend every effort in
securing it for us, but state that much
will depend upon the efforts of our own
people and the representation from here.
Another important matter that will
come before the Wenatchee meeting
is the recommendation of the association
of the appointment of F. A. Huntley of
North Yakima for State Commissioner
of Horticulture. There is little doubt
but that Mr.. Huntley will get the en-
dorsement of the Association and it
would be matter of pride as well as
satisfaction to the people of this valley
to have a man of Mr.. Huntley's quail
fications fill so important a position to
the fruit interests of the state. An eff
fort will also be made to have the law
changed which now provides that the
commissioner shall keep his office at
Tacoma, so that he may have his office
at this point where he makes his resi-
dence or, may designate. Besides this
there are other matters of legislation of
vital interest to every grower of fruit
in the state to be discussed and every
man who has these interests at heart
should make a special effort to attend
the meeting at Wenatchee on the dates
set forth above.
