FARMERS, SHIPPERS AND M|LLERS
LEARN Of SCIENTIFIC METHODS
Excellent and Timely Addresses. DemOnstra-
tons and Discussions Mark Ninth Annual
Wheat Convention" at State College

We face critical condition, a
condition created by the fact that
wheat prices have advanced almost
abnormally. There is a great temp
tation to plant every inch of ground
to wheat but we ought to beware
lest We be caught again as we we're
caught in the fall OF 1898. During
the period between 1893 and 1897
great profits were derived IN this
state through diversified farming.
Bumper crops and good prices dur
ing the latter year caused the farm
ers TO turn their entire attention to
wheat. Everything was put into
wheat with the expectation that the
fall of 1898 would yield big returns.
But 1t did not. The expected high
prices and phenomenal crops failed
TO materiali2e and the farmers were
caught We must not allow our
selves under the present great slim
illus to act unWisely and lose what

Thus spoke President f. A. Bryan
in opening the ninth annual sessions
of the Y neat convention. held under
the auspices Of the Washington State
Grain Growers, Alillers and Shippers
association. Tuesday afternoon.
Warns Farmers
President Bryan sounded a timely
and forceful warning to the farmers
who, stimulated by present high
prices, are preparing to plant every
inch of their soil to wheat in antici-
patton Of still higher prices next
year.
President Bryan explained the
workings of the Smith-Leyer bill.
which he mentioned as the third step
in an important series of laws con-
corning agricultural extension, and
followed the evolution of the broad
er agricultural training from its in
ception in 1862 to the present time
Previous to 1862 the principal atten-
ton was paid to the education of the
young people at college. and the edu-
cation of the farmer himself was a
secondary matter. Up to 1900 the
broader agricultural educational sys-
tenn proceeded slowly, but since that
time has advanced by leaps and
hounds

WHEAT PRICES CON-
T|NUE ON RAMP AGE
Each Day Sees New Record in Grain
Quotations, but Most OF Crop
Is Sold

More records for high graln prices
have been established here during
the past month than during the en-
tire previous history of Pullman, and
than those of the preceding day with
such extreme regularity that farm
ers are beginning to wonder If the
mad plunge skyward will ever stop.
When red russian wheat reached the
dollar mark couple of weeks ago it
established new record. Yesterday
that variety was quoted at $1.15 per
bushel, an increase of nearly 100 per
cent over the opening quotation on
that variety. Early in the season
farmers considered themselves
fortunate indeed who could secure a
contract for their fortyfold output at
70 cents. Yesterday fortyfold was
quoted at $1.20 and the farmers who
are fortunate enough to still have
supply on hand refused that offer
waiting for a higher price and con
fident that it will come.
Yesterdays quotations were as

Pullman's population was in
creased last Sunday to the extent of
three new daughters. A 10-pound
girl was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Hungerford on Grand street; an
other to Mr.. and Mrs. Dale kaufman,
and third to Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Drewes, who live on the J. Fl. T.
Smith farm.

used effectively as IA regulatire food
for horses on wheat stubble in
winter.
The greatest draw back to the silo,
according to Mr.. Richardson, is the
high cost. but this has been solved in
some cases by erecting homemade
silos instead of the patented ones.
thus reducing the cost from an aver
ase of $3.50 to about half that.
c. +. Moody Of Lind opened an
experience meeting with talk on
better tillage methods. The con
sensus of opinion was that fan
plowing, early spring narrowing and
subsequent clean culture payed we'll
in larger returns. The warning was
sounded against deep planting, plant
ing too much per acre. using sub
surface packer and planting poor
seed.
Says Raise White Wheats
\ more general inclination on the
part of the farmers of the state to
raise white wheats would place them
III position to demand a premium
on their export trade in the Liver
pool market and at the same time
would assist materially in effectng
Standardization Of types in the
state, was the opinion expressed by
State Grain Inspector Il. d. Jarboe
before the convention Tuesday even
ing. The session was held in the col
lege auditorium and previous to the
regular program an orchestral con
cert was given by the college music
ians. Mr.. Jarboe based his claim that
white wheats would prove a profit
able specially on the fact that the
Pacific coast is one of the very few
sections of the world where the diff
ferent white types can be raised sue
cessfully. OF the entire world out
put of wheat, fully 90 per cent is
red wheat, and united activity on the
part of Washington farmers in spe-
cializing on the white varieties would
place them in competition with only
10 per cent of the world market.

In dealing with the possibilities of
diversified cropping in controlling
the problems of the dry belt, NJ. A
Mccall, in charge of dry land inyesti-
cations at Lind, Wash, mentioned
the conservation of moisture and the
blowing of the soil as the two great
problems which must be solved. Mr..
Mccall suggested alfalfa as a crop
which might be grown with good re-
suits in the dry belts. if it is prop
erly seeded. He advocated planting
the legume in rows - inches apart
and stated that it was suitable to dry
conditions only because of the Racs
that the exceptionally long roots
could sap the moisture from a con-
siderable area Diversified farming.
he argued, must be followed sooner
or later in the dry belts, and the best
time to begin is the present.
Other crops mentioned by Mr.. Nc
Call as adapted to a cropping system
in the dry belt were field peas, rye
sudan grass and sweet clover.
That hogs could be raised profit
ably on $1.25 wheat was the state
ment made by Roy G. Adams, county
agriculturist of Adams county An
analysis of Mr.. Adams theory
showed that the larger portion of
profit accrued from making cheap
early gains on forage and pasture
early in the sim mer. Hogs thus
raised can be finished on wheat. even
at present prices, at profit accord
ing to the speaker.
