standard hard milling wheat that compares favorably
with the best milling varieties grown anywhere in the
world. Our Bluestem and Gold Coin are standards of soft
wheats. Unless some harder variety of wheat with
equally good milling qualities can be found it is better to
stick to It these three, breeding up for yield and quality, than
to increase the number of varieties at the risk of lowering
the grade by mixing of varieties. Miliers of the Inter-
mountain country did growers a great service a few years
ago when they Disseminated in price paid for the better
and the poorer grades. They not only insured better mill
ing wheat to meet their demands, but indirectly raised
the price to growers because the better varieties can now
be furnished in quantities. When millers use mixed grain
they want to do the mixing themselves because the quail
ty of their product depends upon the proportion in which
the varieties are mixed. If they are mixed in the bin or
in the elevator they can not have this supervision, and
wheat so mixed is not as acceptable, and will not command
as high a price, as pure varieties.

FALL PLOW?

Experiment has proved that it isn't so much the time
one plows as the condition of the soil when it is plowed.
This will not hold true for the dry farm sections, Tor tnere
time counts for much. The farmer who keeps his work up
and his farming operations well organized does more or
less fall blowing. In the fall more time can be taken and
the pillow let down a notch or two in order to break up the
old blow pan. A great many weeds will be plowed under
before seeding and many more will sprout the same fall
and will perish during the winter. Early fall blowing
counts where fall crops are to be sown. The seed bed
should be firm and well compacted before seeding. The
soil is not injured by dry blowing. When the spring rush
comes on it is some satisfaction and money in ones purse
to have ONE land plowed; its ready for the crop carrier;
before rather than in the spring and summer. Land fall
plowed and left rough over winter takes in the fall rains
and snow. The following spring the work of mulching
to conserve the moisture can be begun much sooner. There
is not very much difference between April fallow and
fall blowing. The eastern Oregon dry farm station re-
ports a gain of 10 bushels of wheat for April over June
blowing. Don't pillow when the land is wet. The soil be
comes puddled and it will take years to undo what dam
age is done in a few days.

!, so that hereafter it will be impossible to compare Demo-
cratic with Republican treasury conditions. On the last
day of September, 1915, the net balance in the general fund
was $0y898,894. On the corresponding date two years
ago, the balance was $123,416,613. Since this administra-
in it's daily statement, Secretary McAdoo changed the
method of keeping accounts so that a balance of less than
$41,OOO, 600 on September 80 leaped to the gratifying sum
of SIPS, 063. 55 on October 1. Undoubtedly it is pleasing
to Secretary McAdoo and to the president to read these
figures in the daily statement, but far more pleasing must
be the thought that hereafter Republican newspapers will
not be able to print comparisons between Democratic and
Republican treasury balances. Great is the art of publ

DIvERsIFYING THE WRONG WAY.

AS a general rule there can not be too much diversified
tion applied to farming. A onecrop country is an un-
safe country, as a general rule. Complete or partial crop
failures are bound to occur. The growing of one crop
wear after year robs the soil of those elements essential
to the growth of the crop, and makes it continually less
productive. Livestock, ~dairying, poultry, and the things
essential to them, should and will eventually be the rule,
and exclusive wheat growing will gradually disappear.
1t has been proven that we have one of the best wheat
producing localities in the entire country. Not only is the
Weld per acre large, but the total output is also large
and the quality of the best: The kind OF diversity we do
not need is too many varieties. Our Turkey Red is a

The defense plans outlined by the army and navy au-
.thorities provide for the expenditure of a billion dollars
within the next few years. Coast defenses account for a
good deal of this.

JOURNALS SAD PLIGHT

Last week the entire first column of
the editorial page OF the Journal was
devoted TO The Argus and we really
assure brother Whetsel of our appre-
citation Of the time and publicity he
gives us. The theme upon which he
dwelt was the low cost of living,
which, lie says, was promised by The
Argus to the people of this country
under a Democratic administration.
The Journal forgets, however, that
there cannot be a high cost Of pro-
duction aud low cost of living. The
price OF -four cannot be FIVE dollars
barrel when wheat sells for 1926 a
bushel; beefsteak can not be bought
for twelve and one-half cents per
pound when the farmer is getting
eight cents for his cattle; a WOODEN
suit OF clothes cannot be bought for
fourteen dollars when wool sells for
thirty-fye cents a pound: refined SUI
gar cannot be sold for four cents a
poind when the grower is getting that
much for the raw material The price
OF the finished product is controlled
by the price OF the raw material. Raw
materials, as any intelligent reader
will know, are much higher now than
they were few years ago with the
price Of raw materials reduced the
price Of the finished products will be
reduced I'm proportion and I'm that
way the consumer will enjoy the low
cost Of living. But under existing
conditions the producer IS getting
rich by reason OF the price OF the raw
material. These are only mathemau-
cal deductions that any school boy can
settle for himself Therefore, we do
not think the Journal can longer i'm
pose upon its patrons by charging the
high cost OF living to the Democratic
party When II does 50 II presumes
upon the gullibility and ignorance OF
its readers Further than that. The
Argus could not foretell the unprece-
dented era Of prosperity the American
people are now enjoying. Wages are
higher than ever before; our mills
have more orders than they can Rll;
our factories are running over time:
our mines are crowded with orders
and miners cannot be found 10 I'll
them. This IS the condition OF our
country today under a Democratic ad-
ministration and The Argus IL free
TO say that Il would rather see pros
perity and high wages than dull times
and low cost Of living.

A Year of Plenty

Very gratifying are the government
October estimats of the 1915 harvest,
indicating as they do that this has
been year of abundance, which col
lectively and in some individual crops
has broken all previous records. A
year ago the country produced the
biggest wheat crop ever known, and
while it was being harvested the Eu-
ropean belligerents sent their agents
here to buy, the result being the
greatest exports of breadstuffs from
the United States and at the highest
prices eve. experienced This year,
acting upon the counsel of close OBJ
servers OF European affairs, the farm
ers planted increased acreage with a
view to producing an even larger
grain yield than that of 1914.
The figures of the department of ag-
riculture indicate that this end has
been accomplished. The wheat har-
vest will exceed a billion bushels. the
greatest in all history, and III ,OOO. 900
bushels in excess of the record yield
OF 1914. The indicated corn harvest
was exceeded only in 1912. The crops
OF oats, barley, rye and hay will be
above those of any previous year. Pc
tatoes will reach the average, and the
fruit yield is better than that OF the
average year. All in all it will be a
year of plenty for this Heaven favored
land.--Register.
