cally all talk of opposition to Mr..

louse country gave as large average
yields of spring wheat, producing
crops every year, as are now obtained
from winter wheat grown by the sum-
mer-fallow system.
Raising nothing hut cereal crops is,
la the opinion of the writer, contin-
ually using up the decaying vegetable
matter in the soil faster than 1t is
being added. This gradually renders
the soil more lifeless and more in
clined to run together He advises
against the practice Of burning wheat
etlhble to get rid Of 1t.
Stubble serves as a manure, when
plowed under, and increases the wa
ter-holding capacity of the soil. In
the drier regions the yield is hold
ing up remarkably well, and this the
writer attributes to better methods Of
summer-fallow tillage whereby more
soil moisture is conserved, 1t is his
opinion that the drier parts of the
Columbia basin will stand single-crop
farming longer than localities near
the mountains where the rainfall is
greater.
Mr.. Hunter believes too many va
rieties of wheat are now grown. The
best varieties of arid, semi-arid and
humid sections should be tested, then
these varieties should be improved by
selection. The milling qualities of
wheat are best when grown in arid
or semi-arid sections, and some va
rietles are better than others for mill
ing. These subjects are all discussed
in detail in the bulletin which far
rners and wheatbuyers will find It
profitable to read.in full.

A warning against the single-crep
system of farming in the up-lands df
eastern Washington and similar terri
tory. in Oregon and Idaho is served
in a bulletin on Farm Practice in
the Columbia Basin Uplands," writ
ten by Byron Hunter assistant I'm the
bureau OF plant industry of the de-
partment of agriculture. says the Ia
coma Ledger. The bulletin is pub
lished by the United States depart
ment and by the Washington and
Oregon agricultural experiment sta
tions Jointly. Mr.. Hunter has lived
in the TERRITORY studied for 90 years
and should know whereof he speaks.
He refers to a general opinion
among the wheat farmers OF the Co
lumbia basin that the soil will yield
good wheat without a decline in the
yields. This opinion, however, is
contrary to the history OF agri-
culture In the United States. Boun-
tiful crops for many years and then
decline in the yield have been the
rule. Instances cited by Mr.. Hunter
are well .substantiated from The, ex-
perience of anybody reared In the
states TO which reference is made.
Central New York produced good
wheat crops about 40 years, but at
the end of 60 years the growing Of
wheat became Improbable. Ohio,
Indiana. Illinois and Iowa are also
cited. Farmers discovered eventual
~ that rotation of crops was neces-
cary to keep up the yield.
The writer says the Willamette val
ley, Oregon, produced good yield of
wheat for many years but gradually
the crops declined until only 10 or '12
bushels to the acre were produced.
Then the growing of wheat was given
up almost entirely and the william
cite valley has become a dairying
and fruit-grYwing region. The Sac
ramento valley, California, is another
example. 1t was settled about so
years ago and the summer-fallow sys-
tenn of growing wheat was followed,
but now the yield is not over 10
bushels to the snre.

Coz. Cun1n1inS Argues
For Protective Tariff;
Democrats Eliminated

Governor Cumnnins of Iowa. in APP
pleton's Magazine for November, ex-
plains his attitude on the question of
tariff revision.
ITO describe the situation correctly, ="
he says, 1T must be said that the diff
ferences which make themselves felt
are not sectional, but factionaI. They
are not even partisan. One OF the re-
markable characteristics of the present
time is the substantial disappearance
of issues between political Organiza-
tons
1T is true that the Republican party,
having adopted an economic policy,
sound. as tested by both experience and
reason. and having expressed it in ac-
curate and defensib1e phrase. has main
tanned a tariff in which many of the
duties are not only higher than are
necessary to secure fun and complete
protection, hat are, in some instances,
grievously oppressive. and lend efficient
aid to the unlawful designs of modern
combination ard monopoly; yet when
the people are calle4 upon to choose
between two parties, one of which
threatens free trade. and the other
merely persists in excessive duties, they
viii favor the latter, and they ought TO
favor it, simply because it IS better to
endure the evils Of oYerpretection than
