The Rise in Wheat.

The rising trend in the wheat mar
ket that has carried prices up about
4 cents from recent low points is being
watched with interest the country over.
It is not only that a higher price level
means more for the northwest in money
return and consequent higher credit and
increased purchasing power but the
old question of the cost of production
is up again. AS the government will
likely issue some figures covering this
matter before long, there would be
little profit in private speculation as
to the cost! compared with past sea-
sons. Even the statisticians do not
agree on this, for they follow differ
ent methods. :.
It is probable, however, that it has
cost the northwest farmers more to
produce bushel Of wheat this year
than ever before. Nearly everything
that enters into production is higher,
and when official figures finally ap-
pear, we shall see to what extent this
has affected the whole. Meanwhile we
know that farm machinery is high
that maintenance Of machinery and
stock costs more relatively, and that

What Other People Think
Primary In Washington.
To the Editor of The journal.

Having seen the operation of the al
legged primary law in Washington I can
safely say that Minnesota has the best
and only genuine article in that line.
The way it is conducted here is nothing
but the old-time caucus with few
minor provisions in the way of polling it
and providing judges. The voter sim
ply elects "a set of delegates who are
supposed to represent the head of the
ticket, who is the candidate for the leg
islature, the balance of the ticket not
being mentioned, and the delegates are
at liberty to nominate Tom, Dick and
Harry, and trade them off at their
pleasure or at the dictation of the coun-
ty boss. If the Minnesota politicians
ever attempt to improve the Minnesota
law by substituting the Washington
plan they should be relegated to private
life and obscurity. The Washington pri-
mary is fraud on the name as well as

the item of labor, important earlier in
the season and again at harvest time,
shows much greater expense per bushel
of grain than in former years. Then
there is the big increase in land valu-
alton. Some calculators say this ought
not to be taken into account, since the
average farmer did not pay for his
land anywhere near as much as it is
now worth. That is not the way the
business is ordinarily conducted, how
ever. A business accounting takes into
account plant and material at actual
valuation, and accountants expect a
profitable business to show returns &C
cordingly. Farming is a business like
anything else. .. s
On the basis, then, of the increased
land values and other important con-
siderations, it has been claimed that
wheat at SO cents in Minneapolis,
which means to Is cents lower in the
country, according to quality and dis
lance from the market center. does not
afford a fair profit to the producer. 1t
will be a matter for general congratu-
lation, then, that the market has shown
a tendency to turn from the depression
always incident to the production of a
good crop, and to work up in part.
While there is nothing to indicate any
great advance in wheat there is enough
in sight in the way of present domestic
demand and prospective export trade
to warrant belief in it's value at pres
ent price levels: or possibly even higher
AS there is over 2O0,OOO,000 bushels
of wheat of all kinds in the state of
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
single, cent a bushel in the current
price makes a great difference in the
total valuation of the crop.
