DOLLAR WHEAT

Portland. Aug 3.--Prosperity for
the farmers of the United States, and
particularly those Of the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts, is predicted by the
various traders and brokers of Port
land. Wheat will be worth about
81 a bushel according to the gen
eral opinion in trade circles of Port
land.
IF Russia remains in this war un-
ii, spring" said one grain trader
yesterday, lit will mean that
American wheat will be worth more
than $l-and what is the more i'm
pCrtant point, it will hold. 1t
means that the bumper crop of the
American farmers this fall will put
more ready cash into circulation
than ever before Prosperity for the
farmers means prosperity for every
one.

ducing country Of the old world he

erage about 9O0,000,0O0 bushels Of

Now here is another point. Sup
pose Russia docs have 100000. 900

the trader concluded.
AS to the benefit that the Europ-

lean farmer, grain men and traders
were unable to estimate yesterday.
1T costs about 10 cents a bushel
to market wheat, that is, from the
ume it leaves the farmer until it
reaches the market" said another
operator. IF we have dollar wheat
permanently, and that is practically
certain, it will leave 90 cents a
bushel for the farmer. For wheat
exported to Europe it probably
would cost five cents bushel extra
for mid-western grain and about
two cents extra for grain raised in
coast cities

goods.

HOW EUROPEAN
ALLIANCES GREW

The present grouping of the great
powers Of Europe into two alliances
which are about to clash in the
greatest war OF modern times spring
originally from the determination of
Germany to maintain the dominance
she had gained in 1870 and to iso-
late France, and from the determine
tiCn of Russia and Austria to
thWart each others am billions in the
Balkan peninsula. The triple alli-
ance of Germany, Austria and Italy
came first, and the triple entente of
Russia, France and England was
formed rs a cOunterweight in main.
tanning the balance of power.
After the defeat of France in 1870
she was isolated. The newly estab-
lished republic was expected soon to
fall, and was considered by the other
powers only a stop gap to continue
until the French chose a ruler
from among the several monarchist
claimants. Germany was expecting
war of revenge and schemed to
continue this isolation. There ex-
listed an understanding among the
three emperors of Germany, Austria,
and Russia to keep the peace of Eu-
rope, and the slightest move for mill
itary preparation on the part of the
republic caused Bismarck to bristle
up Germany and Russia soon began
to draw apart and war scare in
1875 provoked by Bismarck caused
the Car to promise France moral
support in case of German agrees
sion, and led the Russian chancellor
Gortchskoff, to style the Car de-
fender of France and the obstacle to
German ambitions.
The Berlin Congress of 1873
caused the Car to withdraw from
the league of the three Kaisers in re-
sentiment against the support Ger
many had given to the anti-Russian
policy of England and Austria. The
vital conflict OF Russian and Aus
trian interests in the Balkans had
also been brought into strong relief.
Germany needed Austria's AID
against either Russia or France, or
both combined. Austria needed Ger
man aid in her schemes of expansion
to the southeast and in preventing

quarter. This combination at that
time. too, kept England in good
humor, for her government was then
bitterly hostile to Russia.
Austria's support was not sur
ficient for Germany, and after much

the league. The latter country mad

CANNING CORN
On or Off the COb-A Seasonable
and Economical Recipe

Washington, d. c., July 15.-The
following seasonable recipes for the
canning of corn have proven both
practical and economical for the
housewife. The recipes have been
worked out in the Department. can
ming kitchen and the products tested
for nearly two years.
These recipes have been used in
connection with the five different
types of canning devices and the
corn has been put up in all types of
containers, such as glass top, screw
top, suction top and tin cans. The
method employed is the coldpack
method, the same as is now being
used in the best commercial factories
of the world instead of requiring the
laborious and tedious method of
fractional sterilization of an hour
each day for three consecutive days
and the lifting of the products in and
out of canning devices three times
The method now employed contem-
plates but one sterilization and turns
out the product in better shape, with
better color, texture, and flavor than
the fractional sterilization method.
BY following these recipes and
method the family can have corn,
either on or off the the cob, through
out the year at very reasonable ex-
pense of time, energy and money:

better color, texture, and flavor than
the fractional sterilization method.
BY following these recipes and
method the family can have corn,
either on or off the the cob, through
out the year at very reasonable ex-
pense of time, energy and money:
Corn orr the Cob
Select Sweet corn ears of uniform
size and proper ripeness. If too ripe
the corn will color while processing.
Processing is the canning term for
sterilization or cookng). If not ripe
enough much of the food value is
lost in cutting the corn from the cob.
Use either glass jars or tin cans. For
market purposes and greater safety
in transportation, use tin cans.
Remove husk, silk, shank, tips,
and injured or defective places.
Blanch corn in boiling water or
steam chest for from five to ten min
utes. The time depends upon the
stage of ripeness, size of ears, and
degree of freshness. Remove the ears
and plunge quickly in cold water.
Cut the corn from the cob with a
sharp, thin-bladed knife. Pack well
in glass jar or tin can add hot water
and level teaspoon of salt to the
quart or No. can. Place rubber
and glass jar top in place, not tight
If using tin, solder cap in place and
fill vent hole, or seal completely
Process the corn from 1870 to 240
minutes in the home made or hot
water commercial bath outfits; for
one and one-half hours in the water
seal outfits; for 60 minutes when
using from five to ten pounds of
steam pressure, with the steam
pressure canning devices, and 40
minutes when using the aluminium
steam pressure-cooker outfit. After
processing remove the jars, tighten
covers, invert to test the joints and
cool.
If using tin inspect the soldered
end caps for pin-hole leaks. Repair
all leaks, allow to stand for "a hours.
If cans are still bullying at ends at
the end of this time, one of two
things is true-the pack is too full,
or some live spores are still left in
the can. If the latter, replace in
sterilizer and process the second time
/ from 80 minutes to one hour.
Canning Sweet Corn on the Cob
Blanch in boiling water five to
10 minutes, according to ripeness,
size and freshness; plunge quickly in
cold water. Pack, alternating butts
water and one level teaspoonful of
salt to each quart. Place rubber and
top and partially tighten. Gap and
tip tins) Process 1870 to 24O min
utes in hot water bath; one and one
half hours water-seal outfit; 60 min
utes under five or more pounds of
steam; 40 minutes in aluminium pres
sure cooker. Remove jars, tighten
covers, invert. and cool. (Heat up
| for table use in steamer, not in
water. If corn seems flat or water
logged, it has been overlooked or
allowed to stand in too much water.)
Use one or two-quart glass jars II
not needed for other products Quart
jars will hold two ears, two-quart
jars will hold from three to five
ears, according to size of ear. Do
not can large ears. Half-gallon or
