Cattle receipts were very liberal. The ten

CANADIAN WINTER WHEAT

In contribution appearing in the Orange
Judd Farmer Professor Thomas Shaw says.
The success which attends. growing of winter
wheat the Canadian northwest is one OF the
most surprising Of the many surprises that nave
arisen during recent years regarding the adap-
tation of plants. Had I been asked at the
opening of the century to- state the northerly
limit Of successful winter wheat production east
of the Rocky mountains, the answer would have
been below rather than above parallel 40 de-
grees north. If asked that question now, the
only answer that can be given Is that no one
knows. Since the date mentioned the growing
of winter wheat has been pushed up to 81
degrees north latitude. distance Of about $50
miles in straight line north from the Amer
lean boundary line. How much farther to the
determined by actual test.
When I visited southern Alberta in 1909.
some mention was made Of growing winter
wheat by one Of the residents of Lethbridgc
My attention was at once arrested. I wrote to
the men whose addresses I had received and
was Of course glad to learn Of the success that
had attended the efforts to grow this important
cereal. -.
What was my surprise on going back to
southern Alberta to find that in 1904 the crop
of winter wheat grown embraced $3.50 acres.
that the average yield per was 1888 bu
for the whole province, and that for central
Alberta it was 2S67 blu per acre. The winter
wheat crop in Alberta this year is put at e.
600, 600 bu The prospect is that the crop
will be enormously increased next year.

CROP REPORT SCANDAL

There is a tendency on the part of certain of
the federal authorities, says the Journal Of
port service OF the department of agriculture
into a satisfactory condition. While there
seems to be a fair chance Of securing COM
prehenslve plan Of reorganization the danger
that their efforts will be blocked seems to grow
more and more genuine: -,
The first thing that Is discouraging about
bringing the crop report situation to salts
factory outcome Is the lack Of energy in the
prosecution, and apparently. the indifference
to securing conviction Of the. men who We're
manifestly guilty In connection with the cotton
conspiracy which was revealed last July. For
time past there has been slackening III
the interest with which federal authorities have
been carrying these prosecutions. The in
in response to a1vigorous demand from .Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and 1t is a matter of common
talk that the authorities Of the department Of
agriculture never co-operated in anything more
than lukewarm way with the legal officers

LOSS IN HOLDING CORN.

According to information collected by the
Missouri agricultural college, the farmer who
puts his corn in crib to hold it., for better
prices can count loss by next June Of; at
least Is per cent. That is to say, leaving out
OF recount the cost of handling and loss by
waste, 80 cents bushel for the crop now is
better than So cents next spring.
This conclusion is based on the reports Of care
full experiments covering seven years, and ex-
tending over a large part Of the Mississippi
valley. At the Iowa station, for example,.
1000 pounds of corn were husked and stored
Oct 10, in crib built upon scales in order
that the weight might be taken without dis
turbing the natural condition Of storage There
was a shrinkage+ Of 8 per cent for the first
quarter year, per cent for the second, q per
cent for the third, and 81 per cent for the
last quarter The. experiment was conducted
under the conditions that normally exist in this
section Of the United States and the results
may. therefore, be taken as typical Of those
that will obtain on the average Missouri farm.
The Missouri college of agriculture, how
ever, does not advise farmers to sell their
corn. but to feed it to some class Of animals.

THE SMALL INVESTOR

Notwithstanding the immense fortunes in the
possession of few thousand men. the fact re
mains that the small investor in England as
well as in the United States Is very in-
portant factor, says Cent per Cent. The man
with small income in England more clearly
resembles the same class of men in America
than in any other country. and yet there are
some interesting differences. The Eng1ishmen
have large interests, in American life insurance
corporations and they are everywhere appre-
hensive, not concerning the security Of. their
policies but because they fear that they will
get less in dividends than would have been at
forded by savings banks. Opinions of English
men as to the effects of the insurance scandals
on American Investments are divergent; not a
few inclined to think that insurance will
suffer, but that real investments will benefit.

THE RUSSIAN LOAN

The best of the information available, which
Is not very full, Is that a loan of $3.50, COO 900
in 4 per cent bonds at 81 was to be- offered
early in November in the various capitals Of
Europe the larger part Of 1t in Paris and
Berlin, with small allotments to London and
New York. The old Russian Is were selling ut
90 two days ago and such d bond, therefore,
would probably have been well enough received
us the: yield would be fair one on money
conditions likely to rule after the end Of the
year. The old Russian As, however. have de-
clined to OH in London and there have been
corresponding declines in other Russian ISSUES
in Paris and Berlin. The bond ISSUE therefore,
is decidedly less attractive, but even sthis Is
not all the difficulty which the Russian domestic
disturbances entail, says the Wall Street Jour
nal. 49,. : - ;

Interstate Rate Making.

Oas of the most plausible arguments
advanced by the advocates of political
rate-making is that if the interstate
commerce commission can determine
mat rate IS unjust or unr,2 sonable,
1t is equally able to determine what rate
would be just and reasonable. This does
not at all follow.
LIE interstate commerce commission
may ne perfectly competent to determine
that rate is unjust and unreasonable.
WINE 1t Is unable to say what rate is
Just and reasonable The reason for
TINS Is that What makes n rate unjust
or unreasonable, is its effect upon the
commerce or the public, and that is sus-
ccptlDle OF proof and relatively easy Of
ueterihlhaton. But what makes Il rate
just ana reasonable is quite another
matter, and involves, besides the mega
i've proposition that it shall not lnpede
or impair the commerce of the people,
the very important and vital affirmative
proposition that it shall give the carrier
ms tuH legal compensation, as well az
mat no rate shall be imposed upon him
that VIII impede or impair his CONNER
cla! prosperity.
The tacts are that all rates are so
closely lnter-related to other rates that it
would not be possible for the interstate
commerce commission to lay its hands
on single rate or set Of rates without
upsettng and disturbing hundreds If
other rates. 1t is MS impossible to limit
the rate-making power. either of the
commission or the carrier to the pre-
scribed area of single rate or
set ct rates, as it would be to
conhne the Influence of Il pebble
thrown into the water to less number
OF circles than the physical force of its
displacement would produce
1t Would seem much more logical So
luton OF the situation to contiue the
commission to what it can do. rather
than impose upon it something that it
cannot do. If the law empowers the
commission to condemn rate. and
gives 1t ample machinery with which 10
compel the carrier to speedily and eff
iectively adjust the rate to Il basis that
is Just and reasonable, the means will be
provided for doing something which it
Is possible to do, instead of the attempt
being made TO do something which i'll its
own very nature cannot be done.
