NEXT WHEAT CROP CONTROLS
New Influence Sets In This Week to
Command Market.
LOCAL DEALERS GATHER DATA
Go Directly 10 me FieIds for Their
information, Meantime AsreC-
ing with Patten In
His Theory.

Wheat faces a new influence the present
week and is ,ure to see sharp advances
or an abrupt start for a lower level.
This was the statement OF many author
tiles. dealers on the floor OF the Omaha
Grain exchange, when the air blew chill
Sunday night and II seemed Nebraska
might experience weather which would
further damage the growing crop.
The next crop begins its influence
about the middle Of April. It's shadow Is
cast a long way ahead, whether the crop
Is growing in the southwest or northwest
mart Of the United States. in Argentina,
India or Russia. And this is the influence
which is to be felt strongly this week.
'The old and new crop influences have
been about evenly balanced up to this
time" said an Omaha buyer. But the
coming crop will control in the next few
weeks and the old crop will gradually lose
its influence. OF course, the fact there is
a shortage will still exert some Influence
on the price and old wheat will profit by
the outlook Of the coming crop"
Go to for Data.
Omaha grain dealers are reaching into
the country for information first hand.
They will receive scores of letters and re-
ports from country elevators the coming
week and within ten days will know more
nearly what the chances are for a good
crop than the experts in the Department
OF Agriculture.
Most Of the grain dealers agree with
Patten. They have already discredited the
report of the Department of Agriculture
and were among the first grain dealers in
the country to pronounce the last two re-
ports as absurd" and guess work"
One thing the operations of the great
American wheat citizen Jim" Patten'
have done for Omaha is to show to the
world that the Missouri river markets are
price makers and do not simply follow the
Chicago and Minneapolis market, even on
wheat, which 1t has been alleged numerous
time was the case.
From day to day the prices at which
wheat was sold in Omaha were made on
the floor of the Grain Exchange almost
without regard to what the ticker said
When $1,26h was paid by a miller for wheat
he said: Wheat has never been worth
$1.25 before in my milling experience OF
twenty-five years. Under ordinary circum.
stances, or under any conditions which
have existed during the past twenty five
years, wheat has not been worth $1.25 PEI
bushel any more than a Z per cent stock il
worth 200 or a 4 per cent stock loo
Seldom is wheat above 81 on its merits and
never is a Z per cent stock worth over $50
but wheat is worth sl.96 right now, as
believe there is going to be a white bread
famine unless. the present crop is large
Prices Paid In Chicago.
On the bulletin board of the Omaha Grair
exchange, this Information has been fur
pished as to the former high price of Ma!
wheat. April and May are the months
when the records nave been made, blu
seldom have the prices declined when rec
ords were made in the two months. Thes

New York city Is now growing at
the rate of 10,572 persons month by

Chicago may soon have a forester

trees in the city streets. A citizens

and is planning to ask the legislature
to authorize such an official.

and the top covered with clean straw.
Small "fiats" or shallow boxes are filled
nearly full with soil, and after planting
the seeds the boxes are placed on top
Of the manure, each one being cover
ed with pane Of glass. Thus each
box becomes little hotbed with bot
tom heat. The glass is removed now
and then for air, and as the manure
becomes too hot the little boxes are
raised on bricks or blocks. On cold
nights they may be lowered upon the
manure again. The heat of the ma
nure in the box gradually goes down,
80 that the "hot box" becomes a cold
frame.

TREE PLANTING.
Successful Setting Of Eversreens In
Dry, Wind Swept Regions.


Fully 700 of the progressive farm
ers Of Minnesota and the two Dakotas
were in attendance Mt the Tristate
Grain and Stock Growers association
at Fargo. n. D.. in what they regard
as the most successful convention In
the associations history. One day of
the convention was given over to hor-
ticulture and its various branches. The
subject of forestry was discussed by
G.. II. Whiting, pioneer nurseryman;
Professor e. G. Cheyney Of Minneso-
ta, Professor c. B. Waldron of the
North Dakota Agricultural college and
Z. A. Kupfer of the United States for
est service. One of the speakers at
the convention made brief synopsis
of the points emphasized in the dis
cussion ON tree planting as follows:
"There is no question regarding the
need for tree planting on the northern
prairies. Every attempt should be
made to protect the farm buildings.
, animals and orchards from the severe
winds which are so hot and dry during
the summer and so terribly cold and
| dry during the winter months. Con-
fort in the home, complete success in
stock raising and the avoidance of
complete failure In orcharding demand
this.
"Too many of the poorer. quick
growing. short lived trees have hereto
fore been used in the establishment OF
windbreaks and wood lots. Many of
these are now declining. This is no
sign that they should be abandoned or
entirely cut away. With proper man.
agement many Of the groves can be
made to reproduce themselves. Where
this is not advisable the dead and dy-
Ing trees should be removed. The re-
naming trees will afford the shelter
required for establishing the new
groves, and before the last of the old
trees are gone young ones will be
ready to take their places. This pro-
lection is especially valuable In case
evergreens are used for the purpose
of reiuvenation. The evergreens form
the best windbreaks, and their extern
sivc use cannot be too strongly urged.
''There is no wonderful secret i'm sue
cessful evergreen planting. Care should
he taken to get hardy stock before
growth begins In the spring. Under
no circumstances should the roots he
permitted to dry out Before planting
cultivate the ground carefully. Do not
set trees loosely in the ground. as this
permits them to be blown about by
the wind and gives the soil the best
conditions for drying. Firm the soil
about the trees with the heel and then
sprinkle a little loose dirt over the
firmed surface. A mulch of old straw
or hay spread over the ground between
the trees in the spring is very helpful.
In exposed places hedge of willow
OF Russian olive planted around the
conifers is almost essential.
cord wood is selling in the Dakotas
at from 81 to 81. While the demand
for fenceposts in these three states is
not very great at the present time, it
will continue to grow as the country
develops and farming becomes more
extensive. When agricultural develop
ment becomes as great here as in
Iowa, where over $1,000,O00 worth of
posts are used annually, the annual
outlay for such material in these three
states will be enormous"
