WILSON ASSURED BY
FARMERS WHEAT IS PLENTY
Amount on Farms March I Was
143,00O,O0O Bushels.
ENOUGH FOR ALL BREAD NEEDED

The Reporters of the Department Of
Agriculture Are Farmers and
They Know the Size of the Coun-
try's Crops.
Washington, D. C.-"There is suffi-
cient wheat in the country at normal
prices to make bread for the Ameri-
can people up to the time when the
new crop comes in, said Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, anent the Chi
cago wheat corner, "and those who
attempt to keep prices up at present
rates expect to get their money out of
the common people--the consumers.
Secretary Wilson's statement was
made in reply to criticisms of J. A.
Patten, of Chicago, of the crop re-
ports of the Department of Agricul-
ture. Mr.. Patten not only discred-
tied the departments estimate of the
wheat crop, but said that the supply
of wheat was scarcer than the Gov
ernment's estimates show.
"The reporters of the Department
of Agriculture are farmers living on
farms, and know, if anybody knows,
and have knowledge, if anybody has
knowledge, of the facts" said the Sec
retary. I'VE cannot whistle these
men down the wind If we seek an
honest class of community and hesi-
tate to take the word OF the American
farmers, we will not establish truth
by going to the gamblers.
"In the corner of 1898, when the
price of wheat was run up to $1.85,
the price was depressed the following
year below eighty cents, the result,
undoubtedly, of the upsetting of the
equilibrium of normal supply and de-
mand"
To show that scarcity of wheat in
this country is not the cause of the
present abnormal increase in prices,
Secretary Wilson pointed out that the
amount of wheat produced in the cal
endar year 1908 was 665, 100000
bushels, as compared with $4,000
900 for the crop year 1907, making
31,000,000 bushels more for the last
crop year than was found the year
previous. After calling attention to
the departments report, which indi-
ciated that the amount of wheat ON
farms on March l last was about
lab, 100000 bushels, in round num-
bers, the Secretary says an analysis
of the wheat movement after March /
in past years indicates that the yearly
estimates of the percentage of the
crop on farms at that time has been
about FIVE per cent below the actual
percentage. He says that when wheat
becomes dear, as it is now, as the re-
suit of the Chicago corner, people use
more corn than they do when wheat
is cheaper, and says that the people
who are responsible for the corner
will have to consider that less wheat
will be used while it remains at an
abnormally high price.

| other does the filing. The necessity
of the extra laborer is eliminated in
the sack-filling apparatus shown here,
the invention Of a Washington man.
This apparatus was designed primar-
lily to provide device by which bags
could be quickly and economically
filled by one man. A hopper is pro-
vided, to which a pulley is attached at
one end. At the front are the frames
for supporting the bags after the lat,
ter have been fastened in position
The grain or other article to be
placed in the bags is shoveled into
the hopper, when 1t drops by gravity
into the bags. AS the grain descends
the bags are shaken at regular inter-
walls by an arrangement attached to
the pulley. The bags are in this way
automatically lifted of the ground a
trifie at each turn of the pulley, al
lowing the grain to settle, filing the
bags to their utmost capacity

Permanence of Iron Gall Inks.

Various iron gall inks which, when
freshly made, had been analyzed by
the Prussian government testing bu-
reau and had been ranked in the first
class, were allowed to stand three
years and again examined. 1t was
found that the quantity of iron in So
luton remained unchanged, but that
the tannic and gallic acids were
greatly diminished, in some cases by
more than one-half, so that many of
the inks no longer satisfied the con-
ditions established for inks of the
first class. The sediment deposited
In the bottles contained only traces
of iron and consequently could not
consist of tannate or gallate of iron,
as has hitherto been assumed. 1t
was probably composed of products
of the decomposition of tannic and
gallic acids. If this decomposition is
favored by exposure to light, as is
not unlikely, ink should keep better
in earthen jugs than in transparent
glass bottles.
