TEMENT on PRODUCE

Wheat-A heavy market has developed in
wheat. There has been liquidation by scattered
longs and more or less short selling neither on
very liberal scale. Support has been moder-
ate and rather deliberate. but the short sellers
have been acting with caution. and the market
has given way rather slowly. No Liverpool
cables Statistics are bearish, except the Off
cial Argentina crop report, in which the trade
has had less confidence than In the private re-
ports, and which has had influence. Predic-
tions of rains in the winter wheat country to-
night or tomorrow have probably had as much
influence today as any other one factor. Kansas
City is reporting liberal consfgnments from the
southwest and good sales from Nebraska. Cash
wheat here is weak and slow of sale. Receipts
were liberal here and at Milwaukee Sales were
reported of 5000 bushels, but 1t is believed that
there We're $4,000 bushels not reported.

quiet. There has been further drawing to-
gether OF tie December May difference, the De-
ceniber being held tightly here and at St Louis

the grower is to be cautioned about
experimenting better stick to mater
ials known to be safe and efficient.
Growers often overdo the matter and
waste time treating the small wounds.
Surely a wound less than one and
one-half inches in diameter is not
worth bothering with.
These suggestions apply to wounds
made by the careless cultivator, as
we'll as those made by the primer.
Unsightly wounds and permanent in
jury may often be avoided by proper
treatment of trunk wounds. When
the body of the tree is injured the
ragged edges of the bark should be
pared off to sound tissue and the
whole injury covered with paint or
grating wax. If promptly done, this
prevents drying out OF the tissues, and
new bark will readily form, except on
parts where the outer wood cells are
actually destroyed, and in time this
will grow over. Wrapping this injury
with cloth, or if it is near the ground,
mounding earth ur over it will often
answer the same purpose. Colorado

Treatment Of Wounds In
Pruning.

The argument in favor of dressing
wounds caused by pruning is that it
prevents decay and checks evapora-
ton, both of which may interfere
with the healing process. While in
an arid climate the first is hardly
applicable, the second should probab-
ly be doubly important. Yet the mat
ter of dressing wounds is not so i'm
portant, but that work improperly
done is worse than no treatment. A
good lead paint is one OF the most
satisfactory dressings yet found. Rath-
er a thick paint should be used, and
careless daubing of the surrounding
bark should be avoided Grating
wax is a good dressing, but is rather
expensive and difficult to apply. Other
materials have been used, some sue

the insecticide and fungicide bust
ness, however, is direct from the manu-
facturer to the consumer, or to CO.
operative association of buyers. This
business which is a very large pro-
portion of the whole, in which the
manufacturer ships in original pack
ages or cargoes to the consumer is
strictly interstate and is beyond the
police covers of the state. The con-
troll OF such interstate commerce is
entirely subject to national laws and
administration.
There is very general appreciation
of the need of such control due to
many low grade and some evidently
fraudulent insecticides and fungi
cides, so that no further argument
for the passage of the measure would
seem necessary. The measure is one
of those many meritorious ones,
which comes before Congress, whose
passage Will depend largely upon
whether Congress feels that there is
any real need or popular demand for
it.
We therefore urge upon any of our
readers who are personally interested
in this matter, or who have suffered
from the impurity of adulteration of
insecticides or fungIcides to at once
write to Hon. Jas. r. Mann, Chair
man Of the Committee on Interstate
Commerce Washington, ID. c.. and to
their own congressman, In favor OF ii.
r. 1868. A public hearing will be
given the measure on March 9Th, and
Interested parties should let their
congressman hear from them before
that date.

livery farmer, fruit grower or truck
er is interested in the bill now before
Congress providing for the control OF
the purity of Insecticides and fungi
cides, so far as they enter Interstate
commerce by the U. S. Dept. of Agri-
culture. The measure has the en-
dorsement of all the leading national
organizations representing the farm
ers such as the National Grange, the
National Apple Growers Congress, the
National Horticultural Congress, the
American Pathological Society. the
Association of Economic Entomolo-
gists, etc., and also has the hearty
endorsement and support OF practi-
calIy all the manufacturers. 1t is
often impossible for the reputable
manufacturer to compete with one
who is selling inferior goods at a
slightly lower price. This sort OF
business is injurious both to the legl-
Innate manufacturer: and consumer.
The question has been raised
whether this sort of control should
not devolve upon the states, and
whether it would not be an infringe
ment of the powers OF the states for
Conrgess to enact such legislation.

Washington, d. c., December 1.--st
far as can be learned here tonight
there is little probability OF Admira

has been sent on inspection duty al

II Is understood that recently Ger.
tain friends OF Admiral Capps. bclicv.
ing that he had been given NE duty
abroad as punishment for his ac
tivity last year in urging certain mat.
ters before Congress, took the matter
up with the Secretary of the Navy, bu,
that upon full investigation they FOUND
the duty very desirable one.
Congressman Hobson, OF Alabama, q
member of the House naval affairs
committee, when asked about the situa
tion tonight, said that the question OF
recalling Admiral Capps mad not YET
been passed upon, but would probably
be taken up some time this week
The story OF Admiral Capps and hi:
troubles with the Naval Affairs Com
mittees in Congress Is an old one. Las
year, when he and the then Psymast ter.
General Rogers appeared before the
committee. they were outspokn in thei!
opinions OF what lines of policy should
be pursued by the navy heads, and
openly scored Secretary Meyer Some
OF their opinions were directly opposed
to the views of Mr.. Meyer. and for q
while there was a belief prevalent 1.
naval circles that serious trouble
might follow. In fact. the situation
became so acute towards the close ol
the session that there was some tain
of court martial proceedings How
ever, the paymaster general was soor
retired. and Admiral Capps has now
been assigned to duty many thousand.
OF miles from Washington.
1t is Impossible to ascertain wha,
the real situation. So tar as the House
Naval Affairs Committee is concerned
is because .hc meetings are executive
but, according to Mr.. Hobsor, the mat
ter probably will not be reached for
several days Members viii not discuss
the committee deliberations. It is be.
lieved, however, that IT the friends OF
Admiral Capps hold to the opinion
that he has received a desirable as.
signment his return to Washington
at this time will not be urged. thong
just what form the matter may take
