Rust Damaqinq Eastern Wheat.

Probably everyone who reads these
lines has heard of the great cry that
came all at once about the wheat crop
of the Dakotas and Minnesota being
seriously damaged by disease known
as "black rust" When the first word
was sent out that rust had appeared
in some sections the reports were very
much exaggerated and the country
was thrown into state Of terror lest
here would not be enough wheat to
supply the demand for the year. The
bulls in the Chicago grain gambling
pits seized upon the opportunity and
sent the price of wheat soaring for
some days But finally the true con-
dition of the rusted fields became
known and it was seen that the dam
age was far less than had been at
first reported The yield has been cut
down TO some extent, which will re-
suit in making the price a little
sitter, so that scarcely wheat
grower will lose anything. The rust
came just at a time when the har-
vesters were entering the fields, and
to an extent the prompt harvesting
of the grain saved large proportion
of the yield In the Red river valley
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-09-01

of Canada and in Manitoba generally,
it is claimed the damage has been
more serious than in the Dakotas.
A gentleman of the coast who for
merly lived in one of the wheat grow
ing states in the Mississippi basin,
remarked the other day that he had
never heard of rust in wheat. This
is rather surprising, for every man
who has lived any length of time
in the wheat growing sections is sup
posed to know what grain rust is. The
usual name given to this fungus
growth is black rust and sometimes it
is called red rust. 1t is a plant dis
ease caused by the fungi of the class
known in botany as ''uredineae," and
is Classed with smut, mildew, etc.
Some call it grain blight" and de-
scribe it. as containing dark colored
spores which attack the leaves and
stems of wheat and other cereals. 1t
has been claimed that rust is only an
earlier form of mildew and that high
farming encourages its development,
especially if the grain is rank and it
becomes lodged or fallen. 1t is prob
able that the same treatment as rec
commended for the eradication of smut
in grain will prove effective in the
case of rust, though we have no eX-
plicit information on this point at
hand.

the road could build around the hills,
in order to let the reservoir work pro-
coed on the original plans. But a
short time ago the railroad ordered the
track through the coulee to be relaid.
thus effectually cutting off the gov
eminent. Why the railroad company
should have taken this hasty step,
without SO much as saying by your
leave" to the reclamation officials, is
beyond comprehension. 1t is usual
that a railroad does everything in it's
power to promote the development of
the country through which its line
runs, but in this instance we have
the spectacle of a railroad pursuing
dog-in-the-manger policy.
1t is to be hoped that the residents
of the sections Immediately interested
will rise up in one mighty protest
against the action of the railroad com
pany and show the latter where it is
to it's interest to pull up the track in
the Washtucna coulee, SO that the
government shall have no obstacle in
the carrying out of its irrigation
project Probably the railway COM
pany merely wanted a bonus for giving
up the old right of way through the
cOulee If such be the case, the
ranchers interested and the counties
affected could raise it without much
difficulty; but it seems bad business
on the part of the railroad company,
in view of the fact that the right of
way had not been used for years.

The Railroad Blocks the Work.

For months past the reclamation
bureau of the United States has been
making surveys and perfecting plans
to inaugurate a big irrigation project
in the Big Bend AMI Palouse sections
of Washington Two hundred thou
sand dollars is available for the pur-
pose and preliminary work has been
practically completed, there now re-
naming but the work of getting the
men and teams together and making
the dirt fly in the region where the
big reservoirs are to be located-eX-
cept one thing. The carrying out OF
the Big Bend project meant immense
benefits for the owners of an aggre-
gate of hundreds of thousands OF
acres Most of the land that would
be Immediately affected lies in Ad-
ans and Franklin counties, and for
the successful carrying out of the
project it is necessary that an I'M
mense reservoir be constructed in
what is known as the Washtucna
coulee. besides a number OF reser-
yoirs in other parts The government
engineers are just now anxious to car
ry out this particular project, known
as the Palouse project, and let. the
Big Bend project proper wait until
more money is available. Everything
was supposed to be in readiness Tor
building reservoirs to store the waters
at the head of the PalOuse river, In
MANY cases using the lakes for this
purpose. then running the waters
down the river to Hooper, from where
they we're TO be diverted and taken
TO the Washtucna coulee, where they
would irrigate 1000 acres. The plan
is TO build up the end of the coulee for
a reservoir and take the water out IN
southerly direction upon the vast
expense of land between the Snake
and the Columbia rivers, where be-
tween 10000 and 100000 acres could
be irrigated.
The authorities could go right ahead
and force the work to be done, but
no such drastic means are desired, es-
pecially when there are several states
waiting with open arms to welcome
the gentlemen in charge OF this WORK
The states mentioned have cleared the
Wav and removed all legal obstacles
to the work so the authorities nave
but to get down to work. Unless the
state of Washington can clear the
way at once and make it possible Tor
the reclamation bureau to proceed
without resorting to the courts, the big
irrigation project in this state will
likely be abandoned for an indefinite
period What is blocking the whole
scheme is the stub line OF the oregon
Railroad & Navigation company from
Kablotus to Cornell. Up to rev
weeks ago this line, which runs
through the Washtucna coulee, was
abandoned, the rails being torn up.

In the Campbell system of soil cul-
ture, about which we had brief arti-
Gle in recent issue, cropping every
alternate year is recommended, storing
water the first summer with which to
grow the grain in the autumn and
spring following. In working out this
plan the land is double disked early the
surface kept loose by narrowing until
June, then plowed. Flowing is fol
lowed the same day and preferably the
same halliday with sub-surface pack
err, which is simply a series of steel
trimmed wheels or cOrrugatOrs thirty
inches in diameter set six inches
apart The rim is only about three
fOurths of an inch wide with sharp,
wedge-shaped face and when heavily
weighted, packes the lower half of the
furrow firmly against the soil below
This restores the capillary power OF
the soil if the land is sufficiently
packed, but always leaves the surface
loose enough to focm a soil mulch
and rough enough to prevent 1T from
blowing This loose surface readily
takes the water which falls upon it
and conveys it to the lower levels.
After every rain such as we have been
having at regular intervals this sum-
mer the land is gone over with a
wide four or siX-horSe harrow and a
new mulch is formed to prevent evap-
grafton. BY time for seeding fall
wheat this land will be wet down from
four to six feet from the surface,
while land which has not been titled
will be very dry with sometimes no
moisture at all in the subsoil and not
enough at the surface to terminate
| the seed.

One of the good effects resulting
from the prolonged strike of meat
packers in Chicago is the establish
ment of Independent packing plants
at several points. Numbers of small
plants, which have been doing very
little business, have suddenly grown
into concerns of good proportions, and
several new plants, previously contem-
plated have been hurried to compile
ton and put in operation.
1t is said the returns OF the various
county assessors to the state board of
equalization indicate that there has
been an increase of twenty million
dollars in the asse ssed wealth OF the
state within the past year. Washing
ton takes the front rank among all the
far western states in property values,
with the exception of California. The
latter, however, is exceeded by Wash
ington when population and area are
taken into consideration.
Six years ago The Ranch made the
statement that the Sunnyside country

farmers of any section of the state,

to $3.50 per acre This prophesy has
more than been realized, and practic-
ally every one who invested at that
time anG rightly farmed his place
has become comfortably fixed from
the revenue derived therefrom. In a
few years the land under this canal
will all be at premium because, first
it is an all-earth canal, the cost Oh
maintenance of which is not great;
second, the great natural and practic-
ally inexhaustible richness of the soil.
and third, it's proximity to transporta-
ton and good and growing markets.
