THE ROMANCE OF WHEAT.
Once Raised For Princes Only. Now
the Worlds Food.

Once Raised For Princes Only. Now
the Worlds Food.
Wheat Is the food of princes and
peasants. 1t is the food Of the world
fifty centuries. but it did not until
thirty or forty years ago become uni
versal. Every community ate all it
raised. There was none to sell. 1t
was so precious that only kings and
the nobilities could afford it. 1t was
sowed by peasants. who reaped it
years no better plan was conceived
than the sickle and the scythe. Then
came the reaper, an invention by Cy-
rus Fl. Mccormick, Of Scotch-lrish de-
scent Then the world began eating
white bread.
This new machine, the reaper. when
it was full grown into the self binder
was equal to forty sickles. With one
man to drive 1t, it could cut and bind
enough wheat in one season to feed
400 persons. In it's most highly de-
veloped form. the combined harvester
and thrasher, it has become so gigan-
tic machine that thirty-two horses
are required to haul it.
This leviathan cuts fifty foot road
way through the grain. thrashes it
and bags it at the rate Of one bag
every half minute. and the total
world production Of reapers of every
sort-self binders. mowers headers.
corn binders. etc.-is probably as
many as 100000 year, two-thirds
of them being made il the United
States.
Because of this harvesting ma
chinery the wheat crop of the world
Is now nearly twice what it was in
1879. The American crop has multi
piled six and half times in fifty
years. Western Canada. Australia.
Siberia and Argentina have become
wheat producers.
The cost Of growing one bushel In
America with machinery and high
wages is now about half a dollar,
which is less than the cost in Europe
and as low as the cost in India. where
laborers can be hired for a few pen
MES day. With a sickle the time
cost of a bushel of wheat was three
hours. With a self binder it is now
ten minutes
Then came the steamboat and the
railroad that carried the grain. At the
outset it was shipped in bags. Then
some railway genius invented the grain
car. which holds as much as twenty or
twenty-five wagon loads. and today one
of the ordinary moving pictures of an
American railroad is a sixty car train
travelling eastward with enough wheat
in its rolling bins to give bread to a
city of 10000 people for a year.
The Siberian railway. which is the
longest straight line of steel in the
world, was built largely as wheat
conveyor. So were the railways of
western Canada Argentina and India.

CALIFORNIA; Farmer congressman.


John Bidwell and Timothy G. Phelps
We're the only two farmers ever elect
ed to congress since CaIifornia'S admis-
sion into the Union. nearly sixty years
ago. Bidwell resided at Chico in Butte
county. and was elected in 1861 from
the Third congress district. At that
time there were no railroads to the
east and all communication was by
steamer. When Bidwell reached San
Francisco he met John CONFESS. who
had already served one session in the
senate. In conversation over the trans
portation question CONFESS said he had
crossed the .iSthmus of Panama three
times and proposed to try Nicaragua

muscle building qualities and Is espe-
cially valuable for draft horses. 1t is
highly relished. however. and the
horse may 0verfeed. Doubtless the
feeder will in time learn that hay from
legumes has great value when properly
used.
Meantime the farmer Is obliged to
include clover and other legumes in
his rotation in order to maintain the
fertility Of his land.
In any case the farmer who sells
hay should seek to produce the high
est grade by keeping his meadows
pure and by proper methods Of cut
ting. curing and stacking.
The hay crop Of California Is one of
our most valuable agricultural prod
ucts. being since 1905 worth over $751;
100000. Alfalfa is increasing yearly in
acreage and value. From three to
five cuttings may be made yearly on
irrigated ground.
California grain hay (cut in the
milk is highly valued for feed and is
sent east by the train load for feeding
race horses. 1t often averages in value
per acre more than the grain. as in
1906 the value per acre for grain hay
was $lOS0 us against $3.50 for grain.
The illustration shows field of al
falfa hay in California.
Getting Rid of Weeds.
The problem Of weed eradication is
one of the most serious which con-
front the farmers of Iowa and adj
joining states. During the last few
years a method of killing weeds has
been discovered which promises to
greatly Tighten the annual toll which
the farmer pays to these pests. This
new method consists in spraying the
weeds with certain destructive ma
terialS known as herbicides. Some of
these herbi,des. of which iron sui
plate is til" most promising, will kill
nearly all Kinds of common weeds
without injuring the oats. wheat or
other crop in which they happen to be
growing. In fact, in several cases the
sprayed grain was thriftier and yield
ed more than that which did not re-
ceive the treatment. This method is
especially valuable for destroying mus
tard in grainiields and dandeionS and
other weeds on lawns.

Hunting For Justice.


Juftice is of course loudly demanded
by every litigant in Il court of law, but
it is frequent iniirmity of the human
mind to confuse justice with ones own
cause. The late Thomas b. Reed, ac-
cording to writer in Law Notes, used
to tell an amusing story to illustrate
this tendency.
He was once retained by an enter
prising client to prosecute an action.
On talking with the plaintiffs wit
nesses Mr. Reed found that their sto-
ries were far from consistent. SO he re-
ported the fact to his client and adj
vised that the suit be dropped. The
client was somewhat perturbed, but
told the attorney he would have a talk
with the witnesses and let him know
the next morning what he had decided
to Go. True to his word he dropped
in bright and early. wearing the cheer
full look of one who has fought the
good fight.
"I've seen those witnesses" he eX-
planned land they say they must have
been mistaken when they talked with
you. They all see it alike now. I've
also seen some of the jurymen. and
they think I'll win. Now. if there's
such a thing as justice in law we can't
lose"

1t is cheaper to carry wheat from
one country to another than from the
barn to the nearest town. The average
distance that an American farmer has
to haul his grain is nine and half
miles, and the average cost of haulage
Is 0 cents for hundred pounds. Thus
1t has actually become true that to
carry wheat ten miles by wagon costs
more than $500 miles by steamship.
Such is the tense efficiency of our
wheat carrier system that a bushel Of
grain can now be picked up in Mis-
souri, and sent to the cotton spinners
Of England for dime.
