The outlook for Our Grain.

The new harvest of the wheat crop
brings us around again to rather
perplexing situation and II is n pretty
wise longhorn who can predict what
the outcome will be. The Kansas and
Oklahoma prospects for n bumper crop
are not nearly SO favorable as six
weeks ago before the big floods came.
The original estimate on Kansas was
.14O million as n conservative estimate
and this is about the ration of discount
in all the states so that the country
will have nothing like the billion bush
els promised by the statisticians three
months ago. In Colorado the situation
has improved rather than otherwise
and we will turn off close to twenty
million bushels.
A fortnight ago the eastern traders
had II doped out that the country was
overburdened with wheat and the eff.
feet was sudden slump In the mar
ket. Then came great deal of talk
about the black rust hitting the north
west, which. together with wet har.
vests and light deliveries In the south,
west, forced an upward turn in the
most unexpected manner Still the
wheat did not move for farmers are
not SO easily caught nowadays. They
The Delta independent., 1915-08-06

are not disposed to sell wheat on an
unsettled market. Many of them are
building bins to hold their grain and
this gave the traders a jolt with the
result that prices are little firmer
In one week the Denver market went
up twenty cents the hundred so as to
put the grain well above n dollar a
bushel and this is a pretty good sign
for the coming new crop.
The foreigners are evidently watch
ing us very closely During the de
preston two weeks ago. while the
American brokers were fussing over
the price. European buyers slipped in
and bought everything In sight. Our
traders were still so imbued with the
big crop figures and light outside buy
ing that they saw nothing but lower
prices. II was regarded as sure
thing to sell wheat and on every bulge
they let 1t go short. In the end the
entire trade of the country was caught
short of wheat and had to cover at
a loss. The exporters who laid con
tracts for September delivery at quota
tions slightly under a dollar made the
best kind of a bargain and they are
feeling pretty good over It.
II was just year ago that the war
broke out and caught us Americans

Precautions in Shipping Fruits.

believe IL very opportune time to
issue a word of warning respecting the
errors made in the past by growers
and shippers in loading and shipping
fruits and vegetables. and with special
reference to the transportation of
these commodities. While the car
riers have exhibited many flagrant
acts of negligence in the handling and
transportation of fruits and vegetables
in the past. yet many of the losses
sustained in transportation can be
avoided by proper precaution on the
part OF growers and shippers Of perish
able goods. II must be remembered.
even though the shipper Is eventually
successful in collecting reparation
from the carriers due to a loss sustain.
cd in transit or in delivering his com
modities. the very object OF that trans
portation is defeated.
The growing tendency on the part
of the carriers to increase the carlot
ands of dollars are lost every year on
account of overlooking There are
several commodities on which the car
lot minimums are already too high.
On the other hand. IT is also true that
many shippers overload-that is to
say. they load In excess of the carlot
minimum specified by the tariff. there
by destroying the ventilation or great
ly injuring the refrigeration of the
commodity. II also must not be forgot
ten that the tendency on the part of
the shipper to overload furnishes the
carrier a convincing basis for increas-
ing the carlot minimum.
II is unfortunate that the official
classification has already issued sup
plements eliminating the free carriage

with pretty good crop for which
we have realized the best profits in
many years. The man who runs the
Colorado milling trust said at that time
that wheat would go no higher but it
did. His agents are putting out the
same kind of talk now but this will
not fool our farmers any more than it
did a year ago and they are going to
stand pat. So long as the lamp holds
out to burn for dollar no one is GO
ing to lose his nerve or rush the
market. The demands of such foreign
countries as England. France. Italy
and Holland are standing in line to
become heavy buyers just as soon as
the belated harvest can send the grain
to market to do big business on small
margins of profit. 1t is believed that
the bankrupted European countries
will be able to see their bankers and
get all the money they need to do the
buying and ways will be found for
arranging freights and foreign ex-
change. The goldbugs are undergoing
a terrible strain to provide the ways
and means. They will get there all
right but Il will cost their customers
all kinds OF money to get our goods
for we have learned to hold on at the
right time.-Field and Farm.

The Waste in the Threshinq.

Most threshermen take every pre-
caution against water but occasionally
the desire to crowd the work along,
the hurry to get to another stand. or
unfavorable conditions during the
threshing season makes waste newt
able. Recently farmers are beginning
to take up cooperative threshing in
larger sense and many of our western
communities now make their own ma
chimes. The loss of grain through
threshing may be largely if not wholly
prevented by the farmer and his help.
Small or medium sized separators can
do only a certain amount of work
Any attempt to overtax their capacity
or to rush more grain through them
than they are made to care for in
variably means more or less grain in
the straw stack
A few years ago when smaller pow
ers were in general use in pulling the
separator 500 to 1000 bushels of
wheat was considered a good days
run. Later with the larger powers.
up-to-date equipment. fuller crews and
better conditions generally the number
of bushels threshed in a day have been
almost doubled. In some instances
they have been more than doubled by
crowding but more or less grain gen
orally can be found in the straw pile
, after these big days. The regular
thirty-two to thirty-siN inch cylinders
will take care of all the grain that two
will pitch into the the feeder if it is
in fit condition to be threshed but
these small separators will not do
good work under the average condi-
tion in which grain is threshed with
four men pitching bundles.
The grain may go through all right,
it depends on the power. and the lar
ger the power the more the waste when
the machine is over-taNed-but it does
not pay to put it through only to have
it wasted. In such cases it most fire.
quently happens that the grain is be
ing carried over with the straw. That
is, the heavy feeding so overloads the
straw conveyors that the grain cannot

dies or screen and it goes out with the
straw. 1t is seldom that loss. when
occasioned in this manner, is noticed
until after the fall rains set in and the
stack becomes green with growing
grain.
A similar instance occurs when.
through improper care of the cylinder
or concave. the grain is left in the
head. In this case it is very apt to
be beaten out by the wings of the wind
stacker fans and fall unnoticed in the
straw, Grain that is being blown out
with the chaff is more apt to be
noticed because here il is that most
farmers look for waste. New ma.
chimes do not always mean the best
grain savers. Some of the most glar'
ing waste | have ever seen made in
threshing came from new machine.
1t was the fault of the operator. of
course, and not the machine. but he
was simply taking it for granted that
the machine would do the work in
proper manner because it was new.
In many cases a rebuilt machine will
do good work and for as long time

Practical Education.

The live stock industry of the west
has for some years been undergoing
an evolution. 1t is now in the last
phase of that evolution. where the
stock-farmer is taking the place of the
old range cattleman. The industry has
reached the point where it has become
imperative for the western cattlemen
TO breed their own cattle, and it is
believed that with small herds and
plenty of feed the business can be
made more profitable than ever be-
fore.
The annual stock show at Denver
has been a big factor in educating the
stockmen to the modern methods of
successful stock raising. 1t has result
ed in greatly improved cattle and
larger profits. This annual show at
Denver is great practical demonstra-
tion school for stockmen.
The premium list for the 1916 show.
TO be held January 1922. has just been
issued and offers more attractive
premiums than ever. The show will
have all the usual departments. includ-
ing all lines of live stock and agricul-
tural products Copies of the premium
list can be had by addressing the Ma
tioual Western Stock show. Stock
