FANCY FLOUR
PULLS PRICE
WHEAT TAKES BREAD INGREDl
EMIT ALONG ON RECENT
JOURNEY UPWARDS.
Story of Rise in Flour Quotations Dur
ing the Past Seven Months an
Interesting One.

Still the price of wheat scars among
the clouds, and corresponding in
crease in -four quotations has bee. one
of the most natural results. Since last
September there has been decided
uncertainty in the markets, the needle
point, even though it has dropped one
or two points at times, having con-
tanned a consistent upward tendency.
The story of the rise in local flour quo
tations for the past seven months is
interesting to many, and follows:
In September, 1908, patents were
quoted at $40 per barrel. During
the first week in October of the same
year the price was raised to $3.50
Then it was that the wheat market
commenced to develop the strength it
has since shown.
December saw the next advance
in the wheat market, when milers
quoted patents at So. The market
then continued it's upward trend. On
January II of this year wheat had
risen several notches above the De-
cem5er quotations, and flour was
boosted to $5.25 per barrel.
On the 18th of February another
lift of 20 cents on the barrel occur
red, making -four $5.45. Great
strength was at this period shown in
the wheat market On March 4 an
other boost in floor values was wit
messed when patents advanced to
$3.50 per barrel.
The last record breaking advance
locally occurred Wednesday, when
flour went up to $500 per barrel. This
smashes all records for years.
In Portland and Sound country mar
kets -four has already this season sold
as high as 1925 per barrel, though
only for brief time. Now, how
ever, conditions point to a maintain
ance of the high values throughout
the country.
The lift in patents so far this week
was $3.50 a barrel over the quotation
of seven months ago. and s2.15 cents
above the ruling value in March, 1905.
when the lowest price known in recent
years was reached
Wheat Supply Short.
The supply of milling wheat in the
Pacific northwest is so short and the
demand so strong that, as one grain

O5O.O0O acres of raw Northwest prairie on the market in 16O-acre tracts. These lands were given the state by the government either for schools or for public buildings. As the state is deriving but little revenue from the raw prairies land and as the lessees on the other lands want to buy it and have enough political power to force the state to sell, the last legislature passed bill allowing l,6OO,OOO acres sold

Loss to Southern Planters Estimated at
 S25.O00,O0O Per Year.

An estimated loss of $25, ,0Oo.- GOO year is caused by the cotton boil weevil. The reckoning in terms of dollars of the harm the in sect does has been made by the men of the Department of Agricul- ture, who have been fighting the pest. They have prepared a bull letin on the subject that is of more historic than of suggestive value. In it are told all of various experi- ments made with poisons and the reasons why the conclusion was reached that cultural methods will do more to Eliminate the Weevll than anything that has yet been tried.
 The section of the bulletin con- tributed by the entomologists is most interesting to the planters, because they have been studying the living quarters and habits of the insect during the winter months. It has been found that winter is the most critical season in the whole life history of the weevil. and that to destroy ten of them in winter is more important than to destroy many thousand in summer.
 A vast mass of information about the habits of the weevil and it's hi- bernaton, or existence through the winter. has been collected. It is thought this will be of material value in helping destroy the insect, which has already become such a factor in the worlds cotton situa- ton that the effects of it's devas- tations are felt in every great cot ton market, here and abroad
 The information gathered shows for one thing the importance Of dc- stroying the cotton stalks in the fall. before the time when the weevil goes into winter quarters. This destruction of the food supply is one thing that greatly increases mortality rate of the pest. It is one of a number of practical facts that it is thought will help largely in wiping the weevil out of exist ence. The reports of department say the common practice of allow ing stalks of the cotton plant to stand after the crop becomes ma tured is primarily responsible for a large production of the weevils that enter into Information.

University's Good Showing.

The close of the first month of the present term of the University of Arkansas presents pleasing re suits from every standpoint. and indications are that this year will be the most prosperous in the his- tory of the institution. President Tillman states that the conduct and work of the students has been exemplary in every way. Up to the present about $50 students have matriculated in the collegiate department and about 25O in the preparatory department. lnclud- ing the enrolment in all branches of the university. the number is about 500. The enrolment in the collegiate department places Arkansas among the first ranks of Southern universities in the num- Der of students.
 On account of the abolition of the lower class in the preparatory department, the attendance has been lowered considerably.
