THE WHEAT CROP.

Since the opening week of June the
price Of wheat for July delivery has
fallen seven cents Il b,lshel :: for Sep
TENDER, three cents. This is merely
an incident to the beginning of the
new wheat harvest. \ month ago the
available supply of actual wheat ap-
pearei to be nearly exhausted and
even future contracts were affected by
the urgent bids for spot delivery. Now
the real article is moving forward from
the new supplies.
The results of the coming harvest
seem to be assured already. The far
mers will makeeNceptiOmalp profits and
the breateaters will have to pay the
piper. 1t is in this matter Of the eN-
port trade that the most interesting
of all the coming seasons grain mar
ket phenomena may possibly arise.
One day for instance, wheat prices
suddenly lost two and one-half cents

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

! Wenty years ago rural free mail

:MIimpmctical, an iridescent dream,
lut the American people now annually
pay s33. MN, 900 for the service on 49,
Foo routes. In less than Il double
Fecade in the future, no doubt. there
will be lOO,OOO routes costing 500.

, The pioneer in congress of rural
free delivery was a man named Pick
Ter. q native Of Indiana and a reprp
sentative from South Dakota. His
FpeclaIlty was pensions, and through
ms heart was as plastic to the prompt
ing Ut good impulse as wax, he loved
70 make blOody-shirt speeches and
strove to make treason odious. When
Vom Reed failed to deliver the Hon.
Iickler's vote for the repeal of the
purchasing clause OF the Sherman
silver law he hurled Mt the recalci-
trant mingled sarcasm and invective
drawn from the Book OF job. But
Flicker was l6-tO-l-er up to the ell
bow, and he flew the coop.
Nhen the rural free delivery prop
osit:on was first seriously considered
IN G. gress. II representative from
Texas, Il Mr.. COckrell. brother of the
tlea senator of that name from Mis-
Sol ii. made a notable speech against
the innovation, and his plea was for
the saturday afternoon at the cross
road, Were farmers met to make
purchases. receive their mail. and
confer one with another about matters
and things, as their ancestors had
doIe for centuries. 1t was fine
sleech, and did much to defeat the
pro- osition that session. That was
the Fhty-seconi congress.
The Sixty-second congress will not
have Il single member of either house
who would vote to repeal rural free
delivery, which is, perhaps. wortl
double it's cost.

DRY FARMING PAYS IRRIGATION DEBTS.

Twelve hundred bushels of wheat
harvested from 60 acres of dry farm
land and sold for 1872 a bushel. This
is the result OF dry farming on George
+. Owens farm near Longmont, Col.
He bought the land from the railroad
at $3.50 an acre. In 1907 he got 1880
bushels of wheat from 60 acres. Last
year, which was the driest in many
years in that vicinity, he threshed the
/ 200 bushels mentioned above. Now
he is building a fine barn and paying
off the debts he contracted on his irri-
gated quarter section with the pro-
ceeds Of his dry farm wheat.
Samples Of the grains raised under
similar conditions will be exhibited
at Billings, Montana, next October
25-2o, at the Fourth Dry Farming
Congress.

the fair has not been as representative
of the entire state as it's sponsors
would like to have it. Whatever abil-
ity and energy 1 may have will be
devoted to the policy of charging the

A CLOSE SHAVE :

We wonder sometimes if over conf
dent republicans realize the close shave
they ran in the election Of President
Taft. Although the republican majos-
ity in the ELECTORAL college was 1863, a
change of rs, 600 votes in seven states
would have changed that majority to a
minority. A difference of emily 5000 of
the popular votes in four states would
have transferred tfirty-nine electoral
votes to the democratic column.
It is wen to remember that the popu-
lar vote for Bryan was some 5000, 900.
And yet we have public leaders, who
claim to be republicans, whose chief
ambition seems to be TO tear the re-
publican party to tatters if they cam
not control it. Wisconsin has her share
of these leaders and it should not re-
quire very much thought on the part of
voters to see where such
leaders viii take them if they are fol
lowed long Governor Hoard.

Madison Democrat: Distinctly it is a
great thing indeed to have located at
the University of Wisconsin the: wood
products laboratory of the United
States government. From Yale, from
Washington and from Purdue to this
point are to come equipment of various
kinds of timber testing and for labora-
torial purposes; and here henceforth
will the federal government concen-
trate all its energies respecting investi-
cations for the better preservation OF
wood. for the chemical utilization OF
forest products, for the making Of
timber tests, for the microscopic study
OF woods, and for the many other mat
tiers relating to a subject of such fast
growing importance. Citizens of the
state may well rejoice in the lsignal
honor that has been bestowed upon our
university, and high maybe their ex-
pectations of the popularity and practi-
cal usefulness Of the new institution.
