PULLMAN STILL LEADS
IN PRICES FOR GRAIN
Local Dealers are Paying Highest Prices
and Getting Vast Quantities of Grain

Pullman grain buyers are still pay
ing the highest prices for grain and
have advanced the price of barley
to a new record since the last issue
of the Herald. T. w. Amos, agent
for M. H. Houser, bought the barley
crops of Nat Bryant and Walter Sny-
der last week, paying $3.50 per 100
pounds, and establishing a new rec
ord for this cereal in Whitman coun-
ty. Each of these farmers will have
about 200 sacks. or close to $4,000
worth of barley. The deal was made
by c. A. Price. of the Ford Grain
company.
The biggest purchase of barley
made since the last issue of the Her
aid was made by William Chambers,
who bought the crop of Walter Dav-
is for $1.4S 12 per 100 pounds. Mr..
Davis expects between 5000 and T.
900 sacks from his farm near st.
John. The barley is to be delivered
at Juno, three miles west of St. John.
Already 3,054 sacks weighing 124
pounds each, ahye been delivered and
for this Mr.. Davis received $5,568.
Mr.. Davis still has his wheat crop,
amounting to something like 10000
bushels to sell.
Local buyers are paying 65 lee
for red Russian, 81 1-2 for club and
hybrids, and 6S 1-2 for fortyfold,
this week, and large amounts are
changing hands. The tendency of the
farmers is to SELL while the buyers
seem anxious to get the grain. Con-
unued predictions of slump in the
price are made, but it has not mater
ialized yet
Outside of sale made at Lewis
ton, the prices paid for barley by
Pullman buyers are the highest paid
in the northwest. One lot of barley
sold at Lewiston for $1.52 1-2, but
this was a highly competitive bid
ding contest between dealers who
had contracted more barley than
they could buy locally and were Fl ght-
ing to get every bushel offered
Harvest work in the vicinity of
Pullman is making satisfactory pro-
gress and an immense amount OF
grain has been harvested during the
past week. The weather for harvest
has been ideal, being cool at night,

ENDEAVOR TO SECURE PULLMAN
DAY AT APPLE SHOW

At a meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce Tuesday evening 1t wa,
decided after considerable discussion
to endeavor to secure date durinl
the apple show for Pullman day al
the Spokane Chamber of Comm cree
and also to have the same date des.
ignated as Pullman day at the apple
show.
The committee on city sanitation
and Improvement submitted a report
recommending that the city council
be petitioned to employ compe-
tent engineer to establish the grades
of all streets in the city and that
the profiles of same to be kept on file
at the city hall
j. l.. Dumas was introduced and
gave and interesting and instructive
address on the apple industry, in
which he called attention to the great
Importance of scientific marketing OF
apples. He stated that while there
are sections of the Northwest cap
able of producing the highest grade
of apples, yet they have to be shipped
so far to market that they meet
strong competition from the inferior
grades raised close to the eastern
markets. AS a result of marketing in
haphazard way an over supply is
often shipped into some city, result
ing in the apples being sold at much
less than they are worth. As an eX-
ample of the benefits of organized
and scientific marketing he cited the
experiences of the orange growers
OF California. who now sell 10000
cars year to better advantage than
they used to market 1000 cars
He argued that each section is
especially adapted to raising some
two or three varieties and should
strive to build up reputation on
those varieties by the excellence Of
their pack. For the Palouse country
he suggested that the Palouse apple
is admirably adapted and predicted
that if it were called the Palouse
Spitzenberg it would prove very
popular seller, because OF its many
excellent qualities
Discussing the grading of apples
he said that the grades are fixed by
committee appointed by the Amer
lean Pathological society and that he
and one other member of that com
mitee are making fight to have the
system of grading changed. Under the
present system 80 points for quality,
10 for cooking qualities and 10 for
marketing qualities. Under this sys-
TEN the Ben Davis will equal the
grade of some very far superior va
tiles because it will keep so long that
it rates high for marketing qualities.
He argued that the eating qualities
of an apple should count for more
than its cooking or keeping qualities
and is therefore contending that the
grades OF apples should be fixed
on basis of 100, so points for quail
ity and rs points each in its cooking
and marketing qualities.
At the conclusion of his address
the committee on horticulture was
instructed to prepare resolutions fav-
oring the changes advocated by Mr..
Dumas, which will be presented at
the next meeting and forwarded to
the American Pathological society.

Thursday night of last week The

Grain Fire Near Whelan

A grain fire on the August Held
farm, rented by Albert Severson, one
mile north of Whelan, Wednesday
evening, burned and damaged $50
sacks of wheat. The grain had been
threshed by Claude Kirkendall's
thresher which had left the setting
several hours before. 1t is supposed
that live Goals remained in the ash
pile where the engine had stood and
that the wind, which sprang up in the
evening, famed these Goals into
flames.
While all of the grain is not burn
ed it is believed that al of it has
been damaged. The grain was in
sured and it is believed the insur-
ance is sufficient to cover all of the
loss
