The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-07-01

All such bales were opened by the
dealers and the ruined hay was thrown
away, the good being recompressed by
the dealers and sold. Of course the
shippers had to stand the loss and
there was friction between them and
the dealers.
Hay growers should know that they
must permit the hay to become thor
oughly cured and entirely free from
all tendency to sweat, before passing
it through the baler. This can best
be done by stacking the hay and af-
ter four or five weeks begin baling.
This will insure a good, dry bale
throughout and dealers will have no
occasion to rebale, hence there will
be no loss to the growers. To permit
themselves to be influenced by the
soaring prices is wrong both in prin-
ciple and practice. This has been
amply demonstrated in the Seattle hay
markets. The dealers here have no
desire to repeat the experience of the
past season, so they have sent out
instructions to the ranchers to take
greater care of the hay crop from the
time it is mown until it reaches the
market.

Hop Prices Will Be High.

The prospects for hop ratsers receiv-
ing. good price for their product the
coming fall is very good; in fact, the
prediction has been made that the
price will be higher, if anything, than
last year. There has been steady
decline in the number of bales on hand
each year since 1901 after the crop
had been harvested.
October 1, 1901, the crop of the
United States with stock carried over
in the hands of dealers amounted to
5000 bales. The maximum price
paid in New York that year was %
cents per pound.
October 1, 1902, the crop of the
United States with the stock carried
over in the hands of dealers amount
ed to 100000 bales. The maximum
price paid in New York was 80 cents
per pound.
October 1, 1908, the crop of the
United States with the stock carried
over in the hands of dealers amount
ed to $4,000 bales. The maximum
price paid in New York was 35 cents
per pound.
The crop of 1904, is estimated at
100000 bales and at the present time
Iu0I0 Is ItlQ ONOl Ii Ol1 ldoC yOol Ii
the hands of dealers, 10000 bales Thus
it will be seen that the total amount
on hand October 1, 1904, cannot be
more than 100000 bales.
The consumption of hops in the
United States by brewers and others
in 100000 bales. Expectations never
amount to less than 10000 bales. Thus
it will be seen that there will be no
surplus stock to be carried over in the
hands of dealers.
According to these figures, which are
as accurate as can possibly be obtained
hops show pradual reduction of
supply The growers can draw their
own conclusions, but it is we'll known
that many dealers look for an advance
in price over the prices paid in 1908.
While the acreage has increased slight
ly, that is taken into account in the
figures given for the years crop. A
great deal depends on the crop of the
world, which at this season is very
uncertain.

Big Bend Irrigation Pro ject.

The Ranch recently announced that
the federal government had about
completed arrangements for beginning
work on the Big Bend irrigation pro-
ject in the state of Washington. This
was a matter of the greatest impor-
lance to large area of territory and
the sooner the work is completed the
sooner could the owners of ranches
under the canal begin extensive i'm
provements. Now comes the discour-
aging news that the government had
struck a snag somewhere and fears
have been expressed that the project
may be indefinitely postponed. 1t is
claimed the trouble lays with the fact
that the Occur d. Alene lake lies en-
tirely within the state of Idaho. This

The Proper BaIing of Hay

The season for the harvesting OF
hav is again upon the ranchers OF
the Pacific northwest, and few words
concerning the manner of baling the
cron are not amiss Upon good bal1ng
and the proper curing of the hay de-
nends the profit to be made from the
business. In some sections OF the
state there are ranchers who make the
hay crop their sole dependency TOT
money and in any year when they do
not place on the market first-class
article they are out a great deal OF
money. A few years ago the prices TOT
hav were only fair and the growers
were in no hurry to get the crop to
market. This resulted in allowing the
hav to stand in the stack several
weeks. permitting it to sweat properly
and going into the baling press IN
inst the right condition. During the
last two or three seasons, however,
prices on the Sound markets have
been climbing up and the hay business
has been unnaturally stimulated there
bv. Growers would try to get their
hav on the market ahead OF the others.
Thev gave the crop no time to sweat,
hut threw it into the baler right from
the cocks, with the result that when
# reached the market the interior had
nassed through the sweating stage and
become mildewed and unfit for use.

THE FIELD
Smut in the Seed Grain.

Every grain grower KNOWS CnaC the
question of sinking smut in wheat
and other grains is a serious one.
Statistics show that, by seeding un-
treated smutty seed, it lessons the
Weld of wheat from one to twelve
bushels per acre and gives poor quail
ity of wheat, grading either no grade
or rejected. An experiment conducted
at the North Dakota experiment sta
ton by Prof Bolley, of the depart
ment of botany and zoology, showed
the following results: One plot OF
wheat seeded upon the same ground
and on the same day, using smutty
wheat treated and untreated, showed
for the treated sample yield of II
bushels of hard wheat; for the un-
treated yield of II bushels of
lighter grade of wheat. This I'M
treated plot showed % per cent of &C
tual smutted heads This one exam
ple serves to show how important 1t
is that the seed grain should be abso-
lutely free from smut. 1t suggests
that all grain growers should nave,
either individually or under co-opera-
tive ownership, a good smut cleaning
machine.
Smut is caused by parasite which
grows within the grain plant. Its
tendency is to first destroy the seed
of the plant and then to scatter It's
contamination among healthy pants.
The spores, or particles of smut, are
fine like dust and are blown from plant
to plant by the wind. One spore will
infect a healthy grain and the spores
developed in this healthy body will
then go on injecting other heads, the
spread thus being rapid. The only
manner in which the spores can live
and carry on their deadly work from
season to season is in the seed grain.
Thus. from the infected seed grain IN
the spring comes the damage, and to
have YOUR field clear of smut the grain
should be treated before sowing. This
does not apply to wheat alone, put
TO other cereals as we'll. To know
how badly damaged your grain may be
YOU should carefully inspect the grow
ing grain in the fields and select Tor
seed only that which is as free from
smut as possible 1t is not a good
practice to change seed wheat. You
are likely to pay a fancy price ana
get an unknown quality OF SEED. Bet
fer grow your own seed wheat, grade
II I'D and keep it clean. One shoulo
breed seed wheat the same as you
breed livestock, having an aim only
for the best. To do so it is necessary
that the grain be free from smut ana
all other fungus infections

was to be the source of water supply
for the Big Bend irrigation scheme,
and until the government is able to
make satisfactory arrangements with
the state of Idaho for diverting part
of the water in the lake into the state
of Washington the matter must wait.
According to the Pacific Pilot, re-
ports from various portions of What
com county state that crop conditions
are very favorable. All kinds of grain,
hay, and other products in the vast
valley surrounding Lynden are doing
very we'll now and the prospects are
that a bumper crop will be reaped
this year by the Nooksack valley farm
ers. And the fact that the farmers
have good prospects gives everyone
reason to believe that the country
prosperity will continue. When the
farmer is living on easy street people
in all walks of life are prosperous
1t would be hard to find more progress
sive and prosperous farmers anywhere
than the tillers of Whatcom county
soil.
