sTRoM ON RECIPROCITY.

Hillsboro, N. D., Feb ITO The
Forum: There is some agitation to
get cheaper wheat by taking off the
tariff and admitting the wheat free
from Canada. 1t will probably make
some difference, 1 to IL cents on the
bushel in the price as the tariff is prac-
tically taken off now by the drawback
plan. In this way as soon as the wheat
in the United States gets above export
level, the millers by putting their name
on piece of paper, or bond, as ii is
called, promising to return that wheat
ground into -four (minus bran and
shorts) sometime in the future when
they get good and ready. Another
proof that We are not so very far out
Of the export, level is that Duluth is
doing a good deal of export business
and they are sometimes above the
Minneapolis prices for wheat, but
there is another side to this: If the rec
iprocity goes through as proposed, the
wheat price cannot raise above ex-
port level. because If it does, the mar
ket will be flooded with Canadian
wheat, which in turn will depress the
u. s. wheat market and will add so
export, so in that way the reciprocity
will not do the wheat raisers OF the
United States any good AS to the -four
and bread being cheaper, they will
not be cheaper as long as the worlds
wheat prices are at the present level.
The reciprocity Is going to benefit
the western Canadian farmers some in
what they buy, but not much in
wheat or other farm products which
they sell because the United States is
an exporting and not an importing ma
ton of wheat and other farm produce.
If we are going to have free trade on
what we have to sell, let us also have
free trade on what we have to buy.
A more satisfactory arrangement all
around would to be to cut the tariff
one-half on everything, both on farm
products and manufactured products:
not only with Canada but the whole
world. This would not have any OPP
position either from the farmers or the
organized laborers We farmers have
not before this had any say as to what
we shall receive for our produce. The
wheat price is based on the worlds
market The cattle and hog market,
regulated Dy the peer trust, SO where
do the farmers come in for the res
possibility of the high cost of living?
We farmers are not against reciprocity
with Canada, far from it; we will ex-
tend glad hand to our brother farm
ers over the line. Only we demand
square deal. If we are to have free
wheat and other farm produce, give us
also free -four, free coal. free iron, free
dressed lumber, free steel, free glass,
free leather, and all manufacturers
produce, including farm machinery,
and everything else. IL there is only
some reduction in the duties of % per
cent, so per cent. or 80 per cent on
-four, dressed lumber, coal, iron, steel,
glass. leather, and all manufacturers
articles, including farm machinery.
Reduce the duty accordingly on wheat
and all farm produce. this will have no
opposition from anybody and will be
a square deal to everybody. 1t will
also eliminate class legislation. which
we should avoid under all circum-
stances. Henry Strom.

GROWING OF SUMNER APPLES

On nearly every farm, summer
apples have had a place since very
early days, and varieties have been
developed extending the season Of
apple production over the entire
summer, as well as autumn. While
as a rule this fruit has been grown
for family consumption, the sur
plus has found its way to market.
The marked decline in the pro-
duction OF peaches within the past
few years has brought about
a considerable extension Of the
early-apple industry on CONNER
cial scale, which extension has
been most marked in the middle
Atlantic states, where especially adj
vantageous transportation routes
both rail and water, and the prox-
unity of large markets have slim
ulated the enterprise, which has
its centre in the truck producing
region near Philadelphia. The u.
s. department of agriculture, as a
result of this extension, has made
study of the early apple indus
try, with the middle Atlantic states
as a field, and published the in
formation collected in a bulletin
entitled Summer Apples in the
Middle Atlantic States, issued by
the bureau of plant industry. This
bulletin is compendium of infor-
nation covering all phases of the
question of early apple production
including Soils climate, culture,
picking, packing, marketing, etc.
Numerous varieties are described,
and seasons and other data con-
veniently presented in tabular
form.

The Tri- State Meeting.


Speaking of the Tri- State Grain
Growers convention in general, Farm,
Stock and Home said:
A misnomer-for this is essentially
North Dakota farmers convention
the tri-state is a fact Of large and
growing agricultural significance. Its
organization is simplicity itself-a
great mass meeting of farmers, the
common bond that Of interest in the
work, no side issues save those re-
lating to phases of farm work, no
politics.
A little lowered in attendance this
season on account OF the fatter purse,
there was in the programme and in
the enthusiasm of the audience moth
ing to indicate anything save conf
dence in the future. Perhaps-this is
a personal pression-perhaps the
programme moved a little closer to
the practical edge Of things than
usual, dealt little more carefully with
the possibility of another "off' year.
Naturally the AFFILIATED societies
meet at the same time. The corn
growers, the stockmen, the poultry
show, and all the rest meet for con-
ference-conference unbroken by any
thing save some other meeting at the
same hour one would visit If he could.
The tri-state thus far continues to be
an ideal farmers convention, serving
exactly and completely the purpose of
inspiration and statewide uplift.
