To The Forum: Last year the So
ciety of Equity met In Fargo the last
week of July, and without thing in
sight to advance the price of wheat
and with a bountiful harvest in pros
pect which was mostly realized, pledg-
ed themselves not to market any
wheat until the price of cash wheat
in Minneapolis should reach $1.15 a
bushel.
After 1909 crop had been harvested,
threshed and in the granaries or ele-
vators, and all of our northern half
Of our northern hemisphere laid away
under the SHOWS of winter and the
price of wheat scarcely over the dollar
mark, there was not wheat enough in
Minneapolis on December ! to last the
mills of Minneapolis ten days grind
ing. In January wheat got to $1.15-
possibly in December-and practical
ly held there through the months OF
January, February and March. The
members of the Society of Equity got
their price, and the Minneapolis mills
and elevators on April had 10000, 900
bushels of wheat in store.
We are now UP against the 1910
crop with a shortage OF 100000, 900
bushels, compared with the 1909 crop.
Wheat, as everyone knows is a world s
crop, grown from the northern end of
Saskatchewan to the southern end, al
most, Of South America, and. clear
around the globe, consequently when
the world raises an ample crop and
the United States raises 100000, 900
more than she requires for bread and
seed-the old crop, exportable surplus
and home consumed has to be mar
keted by the farmer, II marketed at
all, at what Europe will pay for the
surplus. There is no way the pro-
tectionist can build wall around the
farmer to protect him. Steel rails
still sell at $28 per ton to every rail-
road in the United States when the
manufacturers will sell the same rail
to foreign countries at SIS to $40, and
the railroads have no way to help
themselves from charging the farmer
freight rates based on the price of the
aforesaid $2s per ton which they must
pay for the aforesaid rails. But there
Is no way that the farmer can market
his wheat in American when the crops
are ample and get the higher rate
for the home consumed. Consequent
ly he must do as the men do who con-
troll steel rails, as the men do who
control oil and who control harvest
ing machinery and the supply OF cop
per, who control the price of beef
steaks, and in fact, all things that the
farmer has to buy. namely; when
there is on surplusage Of wheaton

Standing Rock Is Not Affected.

Aberdeen, S. D, Aug. S.-Prospective
homesteaders and the residents of the
new towns on the branch lines of the
Milwaukee railroad west of the Mis-
souri, river in South Dakota were re-
lieved to receive word that the presi-
dents order withdrawing 100000
acres of public lands from entry ap-
plies solely to the Cheyenne River
reservation and that the Standing Rock
reservation lands are not affected by
the order. This information was con-
veyed by John McPhaul, acting assist
ant commissioner OF public lands, in
response TO an inquiry sent him by
telegraph.

Word of Warning.
WARNING IN CRYPTIC SIGN.
Democratic Paper Gets Gay Over
Meaning of Letters on Indiana Oats.


Meaning of Letters on Indiana Oats.
Cleveland Plaindealer: The good
farmers of Indiana are puzzled by a
strange sign, and The Indianapolis
News gives up the puzzle. 1t seems that
every blade of oats this year has the
letter "B' embossed ,on it.
Wiseacres recall that just before the
Civil war the oat blades, and also the
locust leaves, all had a "W'' marked
on them, forecasting war" OF course.
But what does the ''B" mean. Pre-
sumably nature speaks English In In
diana, just as she did before the war,
when she registered the 'TW" instead
of a 'B" for 'bellum,' or &C" for
guerre," or TX" for ''krieg," The News
like the Hoosiers farmers, scratches
it's head and announces that specula-
ton is futile.
Nevertheless, one may offer few
suggestions. The mysterious "agrosto-
graz hical omen may stand for Bryan,
who seems about to lock horns with
Judson Harmon for the control of the
democratic party. Still better, it may
presage the success of Beveridge In
his fight against republican regularity.
1t would be peculiarly beautiful and
appropriate of Mother Nature thus to
honor Indiana's resonant statesman.
Other suggestion crowd upon us, as
the soothsaying mood WAKES Far be
1t from our purpose, however to hint
that the "B" Is meant for Ballinger.
For the oat crop is still Furnishing
whereas 1t would long since have with
cred under such an alphabetical
blight.
An Ohio man would fain see in the
cryptic oat blades the name of Burton,
but Ohio oats do not corroborate the
guess.
Perhaps the rational Interpretation
Ia that the 'B" means bust" The re-
publican party has sown its wild oats,
