A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION.

In the Lead Call of recent date
there is an extract from the Congress
sional Record that reads as follows:
Mr.. Miller, of Kansas, on December
10, 1906, introduced house resolution
No. 1872. which was referred to the iu-
dietary committe. Gong. Record,
page 230) That committee sent it
to the department of commerce and la
Dor for a report. December 18th the
department reported it back. Deem
bar 18th, 1906, Mr.. Miller asked unani,
nous consent to relieve the committee
on judiciary from the further consid
Grafton of the resolution and to con.
slider it in the house at this time, No
objection. Gong. Record, page 337)
The resolution was considered, debat-
ed, and amended and passed the house
unanimously Record, PIP. 337, 338 and
339 of December l3, 1906.
The resolution introduced by Mr..
Miller and adopted by the house is a
resolution directing the department of
commerce and labor to investigate the
combination commonly known as the
lumber trust.
1t is identical in its requirements
with the Kittredge resolution directing
an investigation of the same combina-
ton in restraint of trade, adopted by
the senate on the 18th of January
more than a month after the house
resolution went into effect.
The Lead newspaper wants to know
why Kittredge should be exploited
as ''trust buster" when the trust he
is to ''bust" was being "busted" be-
fore he started in. The mind of a
statesman moves in mysterious way
its wonders to perform and it is not
the province of the raw newspaper man
to want to know too much all at one
time.
There is demand out here in South
Dakota for legislation against monop-
olistic combinations and 1t has recent
ly been pounded into the comprehen-
sion of Mr.. Kittredge with club that
the man who expects the senatorial
favors of the next Legislature must be
able to show that he has blunted his
lance upon the shield of the octopus.
Not being familiar with the haunts

breaking of some of the kernels. We
don't know the reason, but we know
it is fact. With durum docked an
average of 4 pounds, the crop will be
less profitable. Also, there is the
fact that sooner or later the durum
will get mixed with the common wheat
to such an extent as to reduce the
value of the latter to about the basis
of durum.
From the facts stated the farmer is
as capable of drawing conclusion as
we'll as we are. We know that some
already hold to our views. More bar
ley, more corn, more oats, less com
mon wheat, and less durum wheat is
our suggestion to our farmer friends,
and greater increase in barley than
anything else.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-02-01

paying a bonus for wheat, and farmers
have 6 to Z cents the advantage in the
price of wheat.
Experience has proved that the
farmers in any section do not change
from one crop toanother quickly, and
now that they have gone out of bar
ley to quite an extent, it will be at
least a few years before they get back
to it, even if the seasons take turn
more favorable to the crop. The de
mand for South Dakota barley this
season has been good at Milwaukee
aud Chicago and the price has held
up beyond expectation. There is no
reason apparent at this time why con-
ditions should change materially next
season. Everything points to this
section as a barley country, and we
know that our farmers have done well
at it for several years. We believe
that it is to the interest of our farmers
to raise more barley in 1907 than ever
before. Some may say that it is cas-
ier to farm on paper than to do the
real thing, but there is no reason why
we cannot judge as well as to future
prospects of demand for certain
gain as anyone else.
Another suggestion we have to make
is less acreage devoted to durum wheat
and more to barley, oats, or corn will
pay better. At this time there is only
a difference of about 8 cents bushel
between barley and durum wheat,
taken as the average grades of both
grains run the past season, while there
is considerable difference in the
yeild in favor of the barley. Owing
to competition and in some cases ig-
norance of how the dockage on durum
wheat is ascertained at the terminal
markets, the local buyers have not
taken more than half the dockage this
season that they should have taken
on durum. This grain is sifted for
dirt by the inspectors the same as
flax. All broken kernels go through
and count as dirt. The present sys-
tenn of deckage by the buyers, averag-
ing about 2 pounds, will not least.
The buyers, after falling short in net
bushels whole season, are bound to
sit up and take notice. They will
take more dockage next season. Farm
ers tell us that durum is harder to
thresh than common wheat, and that
to thresh the straw clean means the
