GARRETT COUNTY BREa0STuFFS
The Cultivation of Cereal Crops in
Garrett County.
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
For many years it was the belief
among farmers that wheat could not be
cultivated to any advantage in Garrett
county and they so acted in far back
years. Then only small spot of wheat
would be seeded for little wheaton
bread to be used on special occasions.
Rye was almost the only winter grain
produced, and was mainly the breadstuff
in those days. Buckwheat was extern
sivelv cultivated and was used in the
winter for bread in its dark state long
before the roller process -four came in
to use, which is a great improvement
on the old way. By this method buck
wheat cakes are much more desirable
and tasteful than by the old way Oats
were also extensively cultivated. They
have some cereal qualities, but the
grain was almost exclusively used for
horse feed. In those days at rs cents
to 80 cents per bushel, there was much
demand for it along the old National
Road by hotel and tavern keepers when
the old National highway was in its
palmv days. 1t is now like an ordinary
county road. 1t ought to have new life.
But the farmers of late years in Gar
rett county have found that winter
wheat can be cultivated to even greater
III in chic toi = 10
in the old counties below. AS an in
stance, Mr.. G. Broadwater, near Grants
vile, this season produced 225 bushels
from five acre fields bushels to the
acre. This was an extraordinary yield,
and much above the usual scale in the
old wheat growing counties of our
state There are other farmers in the
county who have had products nearly
equal to the one named. 1t will thus
be seen that the wheat crop is by far
the most profitable of all the grain rails
ing, and should be so treated and CON
sidered.
Let it be remembered that the wheat
product now in this country is not on the
increase. but the demand and consump-
ton are largely on the increase, with
advances in price. Therefore there are
good reasons and inducements for our
farmers to enlarge their wheat fields
1t has been realized that the mountain
climate is not unfavorable to the growth
of wheat The lands in Garrett county
are less exhausted than the old farms
in the counties below US. Besides there
is much land which can vet be turned
into farms.
The remarkable exploit of Jennings
Brothers in converting an exhausted
timber forest into productive wheat
land is an inducement for the conversion
of similar ground into wheat growing
land.
As wheat now produces more to the
acre than any other grain, with nearly
double the price over the latter, it would
seem plain that the former cereal should
be preferable in the production of any
grain. Let the junior county Of our
good old state start anew on the chief
of the cereal grains. J.B.

THE BALTIMORE SUMS GLOWING
TRIBUTE TO THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

(Sun Editorial. October 80, 1877
In spite Of spoilsmen in the City Coun-
Gil and Legislature, the Republican ad-
ministration has actually accomplished
more in the direction of good govern
ment during its brief tenure of power
than the bosses did from 1875 to 1895.
The facts speak for themselves. Put
political prejudice aside and look at
them. =. Here they are: o. an excellent
election law with reputable Supervisors
of Elections, under which the frauds of
the Gorman-Rasin machine are impos
sible; (2) business-like management
of the city's finances, which has avoided
the creation of floating debts and has
provided honestly for the sinking funds;
(3) notable improvement in the eff
cheney of the police and fire service; "a
the streets better cleaned than ever be-
fore, at greatly reduced cost; 90 re-
duction of legislative expenses, of
printing expenses, of State insurance
and other similar items; (6) an assess
ment law, which, though not perfect,
was passed in answer to the popular
demand and the promise of the Repub-
lican platform. In summing up the
benefits derived from the election of
1895, the blessing of an independent and
thoroughly honest executive in the City
Hall should not be forgotten. Mayor
Hoopers example in that position will
be permanent influence and inspira-
ton toward better things for many
years to come.

back OF the compliments there was
knowledge Of good work well done.
1t has come to be recognized that the
Gem state never had a better state
auditor than 8. d. Taylor. and that
as pure food commissioner James
II, Wallis has all his predecessors
In that office backed of the dump.
Mr.. Taylor is making an enviable
record. Prior TO the campaign of
last year he was little known In this
section. Over the reins OF office he
Is getting acquainted through the pur-
suit of the policy Of a square deal to
all. No man can ask more Of a pub
lie official. What Is true Of Mr..
Taylor Ia true Of Jim" Wallis. The
latter is making some enemies
through his rigid enforcement OF the
state pure food law. but these enc
mics are among a class of violators
Of the law to call whom enemies Is
almost an honor. IL can be said OF
Commissioner Wallis that we love
him for the enemies that he has made
but above all we admire him for his
fearlessness. his singleness OF purpose
and his faithfulness to he trust i'm
posed in him.
III out Of the Newspaper profes-
sion OF Idaho 1t Is possible TO select
men who make such excellent offe-
ials as S. d. Taylor and James II.
Wallis. then there is good ground
for the Eastern Idaho Press Club 10
harboring a sort OF dream OF making
other selections.

How Jim HM Characterizes
Switchmen's Strike
CAUSED By UNION RIVALRY
EXPENSES or ROADS so HIGH
THAT IT IS HARD TO KEEP THE
WOLF FROM DOOR, SAYS HILL.
IN GENERAL DISCUSSION or
RAILROAD CONDITIONS.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 1s.--In discuss
ing the general railroad conditions OF
the country yesterday, James ]. Hill
of the Great Northern commended that
with the advance in cost of all ma
terials required for contrusction and
maintenance of railroads, the large
railroad systems Of the country are
having trouble to make botn ends
meet.
Engineers and trainmen," said Mr..
HILL, 'are among the best paid labor
ers in the country and their wages
have been increased more during the
last few years than those of any other
class of workmen. For that reason I
think that the possibility of general
strike among these men is altogether
remote and in fact not considered SER
iously by the men themselves.
Declared Rivalry Cause of Strike.
The recent strike by the switchmen
employed on the northern railroads
vas the result, more of rivalry be-
tween two organizations Of these en-
ployes than from any other cause
The organization which ordered the
that way attract to it's membership all
switchmen employed on other railroad
systems who are affiliated with the
Order of Railroad Trainmen, But it
required only three days to place this
strike where IT failed to prove
troublesome to the railroads.
AS a result the strike exists in
name only"
Union Officials Meet.
st. Paul Mimi, Dec, 18.-The heads
of eleven organizations representing

Federation of Labor met in the Foley
hotel mere today to discuss the strike
Of the switchmen OF northwestern
railroads.
while none Of the strike leaders
would dfscrss the rssetipgs as freely
as they did a few AiaIs ago, II was
animated that the department would
take some decisive action.
