1t is a shame that the beautiful re-

mayor Of Minneapolis says he will take
steps to drive the disreputables away,
but there seems to be no great conf
denee placed in him. The legislature
should take the matter in hand, if it
can do SO, and make it what it should
be, place where decent people can
go without danger of insult. That is

NO moNkEyine WITH GRADES

The miilers of Minneapolis seem to
have the rights of the matter as op-
posed to the elevator men, who are
suggesting change in grades this
year, or at least an arrangement by
which contract to deliver a certain
grade can be satisfied by the delivery
of a lower grade, together with cash
differential. The reason for this is
the impaired quality of much Of the
grain, rendering it difficult to supply
all that may be required of the better
grade. But why should the actual in
terests of manufacture and commerce
be sacrificed to the demands of trad
ing in the market?
The millers point out that there is
no equivalent to them at all in the de-
livery of a lower grade, though ac-
companied by the stipulated cash for
felt. What they have to furnish is
flour; and their product must be up
to it's standard of quality if its trade
reputation is not to suffer, Now first
grade patent 1ours cannot be made
from inferior grades of wheat. So
that, although the proposed arrange
ment might work very well as far as
market transactions are concerned, it
might also play the very mischief with
those buying wheat not for the pur-
pose of selling again on turn of the
market, but for the manufacture of
flour.
AS a rule there is nothing more dis
astrous than nonlkeying with stand
ard grades of anything. 1t is like a
change in the monetary system or an
alteration of any of the other units
of commercial life. 1t throws whole
systems into confusion and intro
duces uncertainty and the chance of
loss. Even were there much to be
gained by it, the Northwest would do
better to maintain its established sys-
tenn of grading; just as we are better
off with our old-fashioned weights and
measures than we should be with the
metric system, scientifically superior
though the latter is. And the modifi-
cation of grades for trading purposes
certainly does not appear to have even
that recommendation.

DIVERSITY THE PRODUCTS

The moral that is pointed is so
written that he who runs may read:
Diversity the crops. The story of the
rust in the wheat this year may have
been 1aggerated- least there is
evidence of manipulation in the state
of the market-but there is quite
enough of truth to it to indicate to the
farmer the desirability of sowing only
so much wheat as his farm will bear as
a speculative charge.
Tt is true that the wealth Of the
Northwest was produced in the form
ofswheat. 1t was4tlie crop upon which
this country depended in the days when
the farmer had no means to expert
ment in other crops. Many farm has
been paid for by a, single crop OF the
golden wealth of which the soil was SO
prolific. Many farm will be paid for
in the future in the same golden coin.
But thene4ares drawbacks to the culti-
walton, Of wheat They need not be
pointed out The increase in wealth
of the Northwest is due only incl
dentally to the value of the wheat crop.
There have been good years and bad
years-fortunately very many more
good than bad ones Millions of dollars
have been taken out of the wheat fields,
but there never was farmer irr the
wheat growing states who felt quite
safe until he had his wheat in the ele-
vator. He has been the victim of
chance. the spoil of the specuiator and
at all times the butt of the weather
Joker. But he has paid for his farm
and put by something wherewith to re-
| plenish his store
The time has gone by when the
| Northwest farmer is dependent on the
whe& crop. A total failure of the
| wheat crop would work great hard
ship to the Northwest, but it would not
| be a calamity to the average farmer.
He has approached very close to that
| happy condition when he may indulge
| in the branches where the returns are
sure and quite as large as in wheat.
The immense increase in the dairy
wealth of Minnesota shows how much
more profitable it is to feed the product
| of the soil to cattle and get all the
| profit than it is to sell the raw mate
| rial for other people to feed to cattle
The growth of the. dairy interest is in
| dieative of what may be done in other
direction in diversified husbandry.
AS good as the wheat is still an
axiom in these parts. But there are
crops very much more certain and al
| most as profitable as wheat. Do not
put all your seed in one field. An acre
devoted to the maintenance of cows
or pigs will bring more money than the
same ground sown=te wheat--and the
COW and pig are quite Indifferent to
frost and know not the blight of rust.
