Farmers Not Heard in
Fixing Price of Wheat

New York - Joseph Letter, long a
famous wheat operator, testified at the
state inquiry into the cost of bread
that the farmer had nothing to say
about the price at which his wheat
should be sold. That, he added. was
determined at the terminal markets.
"The Liverpool exchange, which is
the leading exchange of the world, "
he said, usually fixes the price"
Mr.. Letter said rs per cent of the
elevators are owned either by the big
wheat operators or the railroads, while
25 per cent were owned by independ-
ent or small operators and farmers
cooperative societies. The United
States has controlled the wheat prices
of the world since September l, 1914,
and will continue to do 80 until an
other crop is raised, Mr.. Letter. as
serted.
Mr.. Letter gave it as his opinion
that the Invisible supply" of wheat,
or that which is in the hands of farm
ers and not recorded in the government
report, has been a large factor in
keeping down the price.
1.-THE farmers have become the larg-
est spectators in the country; they
will hold crop after crop, sometimes
for so long as four years. he said.
'In year such as we are having we
find that there is an enormous lot of
wheat that isn't covered by the gov
ernment records- IF il wasn't for
this fact the prices today would be
much higher"
''There isn't anybody left in the
speculative market now," Mr.. Letter
said. 'The spectators got out after
the price passed the s1.40 mark-the
small trader was forced out and the
big one was frightened out. The rise
would have come much sooner had it
not been for speculation.

Some Cdr,neries, Loosely
Organized, DO Not Pay

The legal authorities of association
work in this country say that all asso-
Citations must be purely mutual. How
ever, many of our associations are not
of this type and the most successful
cannery in the state today is not
pure cooperative association. / do
not believe that it is possible to run
an association successfully without
paying dividends. A second great
difficulty which is made by the can
neries in the Northwest is their lack
of capital. If your farmers do not feel
that they are willing to put in $25
each to start cannery they had better
leave it alone. believe that $40, 900
is necessary to successfully stair a
cannery."

Reclamation Ia Planned.

Marshfeld-A definite movement is
on at Coquille looking to clearing a
tract of the rich Coquille Valley bot
tom lands to be utilized for expert
mental purposes. 1t is proposed to
clear 40 acres of a 2500-acre tract for
the owners and turn them over to per-
sons who are willing to farm this sedi-
mentary deposit. The owner has been
offering $18 an acre for clearing,
slashing and burning, but laborers be-
lieve the work cannot be done for that
amount. The Coquille Commercial
club expects to offer an increase over
the $18 offer sufficient to get the work
done.

Polk Exhibits Planned.

Monmouth - Plans for exhibits at
the 1915 Polk County fair have been
made by pupils in the schools of this
city. Gardens will be planted at the
earliest clearing of the weather and
drying off of the ground. In addition
to having instructions as to the proper
cultivation of vegetables on the plots,
pupils are to have gardens at home.
High school students, however, will
have only home gardens, as the school
garden plan has been abandoned.
Great interest has been centered upon
garden work by the grammar school
boys for the past two years. They do
not wait for the season to arrive be-
fore plans take form. The earliest
vegetable raised command high prices
at market.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis" Some of the canneries in the
Northwest are making great success.
Others are just about existing and still
others are bankrupt" said Professor
C. l. Lewis, when addressing the
farmers who were attending the Farm
ers' Week at the Oregon Agricultural
college. Professor Lewis attributes
many of these failures to the fact that
the canneries are run by private cap
ital. whereas most of those now in
existence in the Northwest are either
cooperative or associative canneries.
Zone of the greatest troubles with
our cooperative canneries is that
many of them are so loosely organized
that they cannot do any legal business.

The steamship Dacia left Galveston
for. Rotterdam January 81 with IL, ,00(
bales of cotton to be trans-shipped te
Bremen. 1t was fully expected at
that time that the ship would be seized
on her way to Rotterdam.
Great Britain questioned the valid
ity of the recent transfer of the Dacis
from German to American registry.
The Dacia touched at Norfolk Febru-
ary IL and proceeded.
The Dacia was formerly Hamburg
American freight steamship which had
been used before the war in trade with
Bremen and New Orleans and other
Gulf ports. At the outbreak of the
hostilities she was interned at Port
Arthur, Tex.
The Dacia was bought on December
"a by an..American and on January 4
American registry was obtained. 1t
was then announced that she was to be
used to relieve the cotton congestion
and loading was begun with cargo of
cotton to be taken to Rotterdam and
thence shipped to Bremen, where it
was already sold.
Representations were made immedi-
ately by the British embassy at Wash
ington, questioning the validity of the
transfer of the interned vessel and it
was generally understood that if she
sailed she would be seized by British
or French warships and taken before a
prize court.

Marshfield - Joseph Booker, whose
body was searched for in the ruins of

seven persons perished by fire, was
found in Smith Powers logging camp
at Wagner.
The reason for his disappearance
without leaving any word caused the
widespread search to be made. He
said he went to small waiting depot
at Bunker Hill the morning after the
fire, waited there for daylight and then
started for the Wagner camps on foot.
