Jack London and John
 Barleycorn.

It will be difficult to fill the place in the ranks of American writers made vacant by the death of Jack Lon don. He was a virile writer and he has done work that will last for some time. Strangely enough that one of his books which has had greatest effect on this country and has done most good will be forgotten first for the reason that the cause it helped so much will be victor ious within a few years. This book is John Barleycorn, :" which probably did more for pro hibition than any other single eff fort of any writer. London stressed the economic necessity for prohibition and effectively an swered the first claim of anti-pro- hibitionists-that prohibition does not prohibit. He did not ad- init the truth of this claim. He did admit that prohibition wou'd d not cure the drink habit in those who had drunk so much alcohol. ic liquor that their systems cried out for it. But he made the great point that prohibition removes the open saloon and thereby re. moves the thing that maKes drunkards of the young men, the accessibility of liquor.
 London knew liquor because he had travelled with it and had drunk it and had suffered under 1t. He wrote as an expert. He did not touch or the sentimental side or the religious side. He confined himself to the practical and the material and In dolng so he hit John Barleycorn staggering Wallop. Gazette.

WEIGHT OF WHEAT
TOLD BY AVERAGES
FOR PAST EIGHT YEARS WAS
58.3 POUNDS TO BUSHNELL;
IN 1911 57.3.

The wheat crop of the United
States is undoubtedly reported in
measured bushels. The weight per
bushel is reported annually in Dece1l-
Der when the final returns of the
crop are made. The average weight
for the past eight years has been $50
pounds. In 1911 the weight was only
57.3 pounds. Some stress has been
laid on the fact that possibly 75,000,-
600 bushels Of spring wheat this year
is of rather poor quality, and the inn
preston prevails that this applies to
the whole crop. 1t may be regarded
as poor policy to make the point that
we have very small crop Of wheat,
and what we have is Of poor quality
The winter wheat was very good in
quality, as indicated by the inspec-
ton returns. Both winter and spring
wheat in the Rocky Mountain states
and on the Pacific coast are Of good
quality. Should we have 100000
bushels of poor spring wheat averag-
ing 48 pounds, and 545,O0O,OOO bush
els OF good spring and winter wheat
averaging 58S IL pounds we would
have an aggregate crop of 620,000,000
bushels of an average weight per
bushel of 57.3 pounds Or one pound
less than the average of the past
eight years. In some sections the
winter wheat crop secured was the
best in quality in years. It is fair
to presume that the portion of the
crop carried over from the crop of
1915 was fairly good-the average
weight of the crop being reported at
$40 pounds.

crops have proven better than early
estimates. A great deal Of grain was
grown in this section of the county,

and good prices. A substantial de-

about started, and practically all of
the grain is in stack.
Meagher County Conditions. The
principal grain crop is wheat. There
are no cooperative OF community or
CARNATIONS in this county. The
farmers either ship their grain direct,
or sell it at the elevators, at east
ern market prices, less freight and the
expense of handling. There is good
local market for oats.

Cooperation in Cascade. Farmers
of this section are beginning to see
the benefits of cooperation, with the
result that several cooperative COM

being made to breed up better class

With him were C. A. and Albert Col
