the pupils going forth from year

with them not only the medals
worn upon their outward persons,

WHEAT

Wheat, the king of northwest crops has served the
farmers royalty this year, and in the grand final show
ing conservatvey estimated at total of 1872 800
bushels, which in money value $139 1899 538.
Practically all this is spring wheat, there being
100000 to 100000 bushels of macaroni wheat in
the total The quality Of the crop is on the average
much higher than last year, which is consideration Of
Importance both in determining farm value and in pro-
viding ample supplies of material for the -four
mills of Minneapolis that make and sustain great

months. The bulk Of the crop was marketed

far than last year. while the condition of the plant was
such that, when the crop has all moved MARKET and

comparison the total will be found to by several
millions of bushels anything before produced.
Government figures for the acreage will not be
available until December next Meanwhile there are
competent men in the Minneapolis oil trade who figure
the total at approximately 100000, which would be
an increase of 100000 over that of last year.

the crushing of faxseed
These mills represent consuming capacity for 25,
900 bushels of flax day, 100000 bushels for
3OOday operating year. The business runs to $4,000
barrels about 18,75o,oo0 gallons year, which, for
linseed oil, is an enormous production. The money
equivalent of the oil output varies from 900
$l1 100000 year, according to market values during
the period.
Incidental to this there is an important export
business in oilcake running to 100000 tons a year.
This averages about $35o0oo0 in value and the mills
of Minneapolis sell it to Antwerp Liverpool, Rotter
dam, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Belfast, Glasgow, and
other United Kingdom and continental points
About 600 men directly employed in the mills,

the whole stood against it WELL and while there
times when with weather favorable to the spread of
the rust the partial destruction of the crop seemed i'm
minent, no such calamity followed.
The rust visitation of 1904 and the remarkable de-
velopments following it, gave birth many theories
not fundamentally sound with reference to the wheat
producing northwest. In the rise of No. northern to
the high point of $127, the extreme top the excite

100000 bushels wheat from the Canadian northwest,
the bringing back to America cargoes shipped
from the Pacific coast to Europe and the decision by
the treasury department permitting the milling Of i'm
ported wheat in America in bond all operated to
strengthen the argument that America had ceased to
be a wheat exporting country. Many viewed the
ditons representing permanent turn but the truth
is that they but temporary: It is entirely
that if the population Of the United States increases
at the present rate and the wheat increases no
faster than the present ratio the time must when
the country will produce only enough wheat for her
home needs but this condition be reached for

trading in barley has
grown to large proper
tions in Minneapolis,
and firms interested on.

market, that in former
years paid little atten-
tion to the northwest,
now : keep in closest
touch. A number Of men
prominent in the trade
have moved here from
the eass the better to be
in close to the primary
offerings.
From being a relative
ly unimportant point
Minneapolis has grown
to be d market where
buyers for the largest
maltsters are always &C
tive. The local mailing
capacity has been in
creased by the erection
) of the North Star Malt
ing company's large
plant in Northeast Min
neapolis and the enlarge
ment of the plants of the
breweries. AS a mailing
point the city does not
compare with Milwau-
kee, Buffalo and other
centers, but the business
here is in its infancy
and judges Of conditions
in the mailing trade
have predicted a great
increase ultimately.
More recently the
eastern exporters, who
handle barley, have been
getting into the Mime
apolis field, and promi-
nent men in the Atlantic
seaboard trade who make
Minneapolis their head
quarters during the sea-
son, predict that the
northwest, having taken
the lead in new interest
for barley buyers and
exporters, new develop
ments affecting the
trade or the production
are sure to occur here,
and that Minneapolis is
destined to become the
greatest barley market
of the country

minnesota last produced the great total of 8578
SOB bushels, which, in money value meant $22
for her farmers
Up to about years ago the big buyers, the
cereal companies and Others drew the bulk Of their
supplies from western Illinois and eastern Iowa. The
running down Of the crop in important sections Of
this area and the production in the same season of
crop OF oats of high quality the northwest changed
affairs Buyers found it advantageous and often nee
essary to to the northwest for their supplies and
naturally they to Minneapolis. The result Of all
this was that while in 1902 MINNEAPOLIS received the
total then the record figures of 400 bushels of
OATS the movement jumped to %, the year fol-
lowing, and again to rs, S4s, 900 last year.
MINNEAPOLIS A GREAT OATS MARKET
TodaX all buyers, including the American Cereal
company and the Great Western two largest con-
sumers represented here The elevators last year
carried at time the heaviest stock of contract oats
IN the country and stocks Of all grades much larger
than before.
The stimulus to expansion of the oats acreage last
year came from both directions, for while the Mime
apois market felt the benefits of the eastern demand
and the increase in export shipments from the Atlantic
seaboard that originated here the was also
an active buyer. Many lots of oats the govern
ment were taken here and sent to the Philippines
and other sales made for private to the
orient. .:
This business, it is believed, will be seen again. q
little later The eastern demand should begin to show
up here this year about Nov. l. Everything indicates
That the Minneapolis market will receive

mand will increase materially. '4+ sa
