The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-08-01

| "Ihe two features which have
given strength, and until there is
some change, will continue to give
strength to cotton, are the lively de-
mand for spot cotton, even at the
present advanced price, from Europe,
and the belief which is fast becom-
ing general that the cron up to the
present time does not give promise
of a large yield; in fact, if the pri-
vate advices from the Southwest are
to be relied upon, it would be rea-
sonable to. expect a very moderate
crop. No doubt the DEVELOPMENTS
of late in the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington have had great
deal to do with unsettling confidence
generally in the crop reports emanat-
ing from. the Agricultural Bureau,
and have discredited entirely the re-
port from that Department as to the
decrease in acreage. While all this
has had its effect, the main reasons
for the advance are as stated above,
the demand for spot cotton and the
growing disbelief in the prospect of
a full crop for the reason 19O5-1906.
Reactions and set-backs during
an advance in the price of any mar
ketable commodity which attracts as
much public attention as does cotton
are but natural. but from all indi-
cations it would appear to me that
this cannot be designated as a specu-
lators' market. We must have bet
ter crop reports before any material
decline can materialize, and without |
better crop reports a still further |
advance may be expected"

An Unpopular Trust.

The American Tobacco Company
is becoming thoroughly unpopular
with the retail trade. It has often
been said by those who study such
matters that the power of the retail
er in commercial affairs is absolute.
If such is the case the American To-
bacco Company is riding to it's fall.
The time is not far distant when
every retailer in the land will be
thoroughly familiar with the methods
of the great tobacco trust and when
that day arrives we may rest assured
that the fight will be on. It bids fair
to be a merry war, and the result will
tell whether it is possible for great
combination of capital to down the
retail trade of the country in any
line of Observation-Disclosures Com

triAe in exchange for buggies that
have new paint on them. We neglect
70 terrace our lands and allow the
soil to wash away during the summer
freshets. We do hundreds of other
things that make waste, but the most
uncalied-for thing of all is that we
almost kill ourselves to make a big
crop of cotton, and keep the children
out of school to help us. and then
carry the cotton to gin, haul it home
in the bale and dump out in the
weather and let it rot, and then carry
it to market and try to sell it. But
we are learning slowly, and may be
we'll know better some time.
We have lately denied that the
South is short on labor, and have
contended that instead of there be-
ing a scarcity of labor, we have too
many ignorant laborers in the South
and that we would be better off with
out the tenant system that we have.
Of course, if we should remove the
iunoratn laborers from the South it
would greatly affect the incomes of
a few men, who run big farms op-
Grated by renters and tenants, but the
masses would be better off. Editor
Poe, of The Progressive Farmer, who
is travelling in the West, observes
that one man there does as much
work as two men here; that the
Man with Hoe" is not much in
evidence out there. The work is done
by one man with a cultivator drawn
by two horses that cultivates both
sides of the row at the same time.
Contrasting with the conditions here,
Mr.. Poe says: "The curse of the ig-
nOrant negro tenant, I judge, keeps
US in the South from a great many
improved methods that we should 9TH
erwise adopt, and the increase in the
cost of labor may be a blessing in
disguise in forcing us to consider
this question"
By using the straddle cultivators |
one man and two horses do the work |
Of two men and two horses, and by |
this method the Western farmer
saves 80 1-3 per cent. The railroads |
put us in close competition with the |
West and they can beat us in the |
game every time if we give them |
% 1-3 per cent the advantage.
I'VE have too many men doing
brute work." says Mr.. Poe. In the |
West one mans time is worth the |
ume of two horses. Here we have

mat the dumb brute could do better
Hhen skilled methods and modern
implements are employed. 1t will,
indeed, be a blessing to the South

II impossible to get so many negro
tenants and forces us to adopt i'm

Sensation in Miller Case.

Attorney Johns sprung a sensation
in the Roy H. Miller bank .wrecking
case Wednesday morning at Baker
City. Miller was to have been sen
fenced, but Johns asked that the mat
ter be deferred until Friday when he
would prepare motion for q new
trial. He stated that the jury had
founded its verdict on books not offer
ed in evidence. The jury first went
to hall to deliberate. 1t complained
that there was no room there and was
transferred to the court room. Before
returning to the court room it stood
six to six in favor of acquittal. Upon
returning to the court room the jury
found all of the banks books, which
had been left there by attorneys, and
after going through these from begin
ing to end, decided that there had been
more money taken in than was ac-
counted for, and convicted Miller.

This is in keeping with the general
verdict Of those who have visited the

THROES OF REVOLUTION
Mutiny of Russia's Sailors--Blood and
Flame Sweep Over ODESSA

London, June 29.-The captain and
most of the officers Of the battleship
Kniaz Potentine, Russia s most power
full battleship in the Black Sea, have
been murdered and thrown overheard
in open sea, and the ship is completely
in possession of the crew and few
officers who have cast their lot with
the mutineers. The guns of the Kniaz
Potentine are trained on the city, and
in the streets masses of striking work
men who fled before the volleys of the
troops are now infamed by the spec
tacle of open revolt on board an i'm
perial warship, and are making bold
front against the military. ALI day
long firing has been heard in many
quarters of the city. A number of
barricades have been erected aud tu-
multi and disorder reign. The report
of the mutiny which occurred while
the battleship was at sea, is difficult
to obtain, as the mutineers refuse to
allow any communication with the
shore, but it has been ascertained that
it arose from the shooting of a sailor
who was presenting on behalf of the
crew, a complaint against the bad
food. According to one version this
sailor objected to the quality of the
"Birchtch' or soup, and was imme-
diately shot down by mess officer.

THRESHERSCOMBINE
ASSOCIATION FORMED BY LINN
COUNTY FARMERS.
Name a Scale Of Wages for Laborers
During Harvest and Price
for Threshing.

Following the example set by the
threshers of Walla Walla county to
fix prices of labor during harvest sea-
son, the wheatgrowers of Linn county
have set about to regulate the wage
scale. A dispatch from Albany says:
During all the time there has been
so much talk of combinations in
restraint of trade to control the price
of commodities, work, ETC., in the
cities, there has been bucolic combi-
nation in course of formation in Linn
county. Printed notices have been
issued that the threshermen of Linn
county have adopted cSrtain rates of
charges for their work during the
coming threshing season, and also that
they have adopted scale of wages for
the workers with the machines during
the season and hours of work to be OBJ
served by said workmen. All the
operators of threshing machines in
the county have entered the combina-
tion, and there will be no competition
between them. Farmers needn't look
around to ascertain the prices charg-
ed by the various operators of ma
chimes for separating grain from
straw. There is set price which
prevails with every machine man.
The same may be said of the day la
borers who are looking for high wages
during the harvest season.
Prices for threshing and wages have
been returned to what they were prior
to the hard times of 1892. The whistle
for commencing work will blow at
5:45 o'clock in the morning, and q
light blast will indicate that the days
work is over at 1880 o'clock in the
evening. For working these hours q
laborer will receive 81. so per day for
himself, and 80. so per day for the use
of team and wagon in addition to his
own services. The prices of threshing
were fixed at IL cents per sack for
wheat, 10 cents per sack for oats, 10
cents per sack for cheat, IL cents per
sack for barley, 25 cents per sack for
veatch when bound, and 80 cents per
sack when moved

Eastern Oregon After It

the bodies thrown overheard.
After period of vacilation the
Kniaz Potentine headed for Odessa
and arrived here last night accompan-
cid by two torpedo boats.
The Russian government, although
almost paralyzed by the terrible events
at Odessa and the news that the sail
ors at Libau have mutinied, are max
ing desperate and even frantic efforts
to meet the situation and stamp out
the flames of revolution before they
spread to the army, which is now the
last bulwark of autocracy. With
Poland red with the spirit of revolt,
Caucasus already almost in a state of
civil war, the Agarian disorders
spreading rapidly, the whole country
profoundly stirred and the intelligent
classes arrayed against the govern
ment, all conditions seem ripe for the
long contemplated revolution.
What effect the news of the happen
ings i'll Odessa will have on the troops
and the public in general, is problem
attic and is puzzling the emperor The
precautions taken by the authorities
to keep the news from the public have
been invalid, and the revolutionaries
and liberals everywhere are spreading
it by word of mouth, and within "a
hours it will be known to the uttermost
confines of European Russia. When
the news reaches the armies in Man
churia it is bound to create deep i'm
preston.
