WINTER WHEAT

Bread is not usually made cheaper

 erial for it's making, but farmers
 eem to be adopting that method in
 he campaign to reduce the cost of
 living. Reports from the Middle
 Nest now point to 20 per cent re-
 3uction in the seeded area of winter
 wheat. The crop of 918,O00, ,00O bush
 Us of both kinds of wheat raised this
 Eear will comfortably fill all require =nents, but without any wide margin
 for safety. Whether or not the crop
 being seeded will equal future require
 ments must depend upon the weather From now until next July.
 Thus far, covering the first few
 weeks in the life of the wheat crop,
 the weather has been favorable. The Hong drought in the Southwest has |been broken and the hard baked soil made fit. Seeding has averaged ear
 bier than usual, not only in the South
 west, but throughout the winter
 wheat belt, and is nearly completed. [There have been good rains, which [have caused quick germination and
 growth.
 1 Only few weeks ago the whirr of i the harvesting machines was heard, and it is difficult to realize that an- other crop is now growing in those same fields. Central Kansas is cov- cred with green carpet more beau l tiful than anything that ever came from the looms of the Near East. In places, the wheat is so high that it will stand pasturing, thus furnishing much green feed for livestock until Winter Throughout the greater part of the important producing states, the indications are for good growth be- fore winter sets in.
 From this time Oil, all depends upon the weather Estimates are useless. Our 49,000,000 acres of winter wheat this year produced an average yield of l4.6 bushels per acre. Had it come up to the average of the past five years it would have been 16.1 bushels. That average on the area which now seems likely to be seeded would mean q production of winter wheat 50,000,- GOO bushels less than the 715, 100000 produced this year. The Spring wheat section could easily make this up, if weather favored. Unfavorable wea-

ther could just as easily reduce the total
 Assuming that the weather for the next ten months will be no better or worse than usual the outlook is for a smaller production of winter wheat than for either of the past two sea- sons. The two last harvests of all wheat were only about 100,OOO,OOO bushels larger than the five-year aver age. Perhaps production equaling them will not be needed next season, but we should have more than is now indicated by the autumn seeding. At tention of leading business men of the Northwest, where Spring wheat is raised, should be directed to this mat ter.-Journal, New York.

NEW PACKING RULES FOR
 SHIPMENTS BY EXPRESS

Under the new regulations, which are embodied in what is known techni- cally as Supplement No. to Express Classification No. 26, all shipments sent by express weighing over 25 pounds, must be packed in wooden containers, or cartons of fibre board, cupboard, or corrugated strawboard material, of specified "test strengths" ]" This means, according to Agent Mar tin that after December 10, packages over the 25 pound limit will not be accepted for forwarding by the Amer ican Railway Express Company, handling the express business of the entire country as agent of the Rail road Administration, if only paper wrapped. Nor will ordinary paper boxes, wrapped or unwrapped, be ac- cepted as suitable protection for these heavier shipments. The regulations, however, do not affect shipments un- der 25 pounds.
 Regular shippers, Agent Martin stated today, will not be mystified by the new regulations, as they follow very closely the packing requirements long in vogue in the freight service. The express regulations, however, allow little more latitude in the size of the carton used The enforcement of the new rules was postponed until December 10, so that shippers would have plenty of time to prepare them selves for this change in express packing standards.
 Agent Martin will soon be able to supply shippers with copies of the Supplement No. 5 to Express Classi- fication No. 26, in which the new rules are outlined in detail

EXCHANGE AND HOGS

Looking ruefully at $23.5O, the top price reached by hogs at Chicago on August 13, 1919, in comparison with the present average of about $16 per hundred pounds, farmers are led tc believe that the foreign exchange sit uation is the cause for this drop While it is in some degree responsi- ble, it is not the principal reason They would do well to understand this matter, and see that America is the principal market for their pork pro- ducts.
 The export market is of importance to the American farmer, as it took about 15 per cent of the pork produc- tion in pre-war days and, in the last year of the war doubled it's importa- tions. But Europe has never bought American pork because money was cheap or credit abundant. The one reason was that it wanted the meat.
 In August, 1913, when exchange was normal, Europe bought from the United States S5,OOO,OOO pounds of hog products. In August, 1919, with exchange around APO exports of hog products amounted to 1S5,000,00C
The Prescott daily news., 1919-10-24

pounds, and at an export price two and one-half times as great as in 1913.
 In July, 1919, exports of pork pro- ducts amounted to 244,00O,00O pounds, and exchange that month closed at 4.37. In February, 1919, it was held rigidly at 4.76, yet exports of pork products amounted to half million pounds less than in July when ster- lnig headed downwards.
 The greatest decrease in European livestock, caused by the war, has been in the herds of swine. Therefore Europe has been buying three times as much pork and paying three times as much for it as before the war. From official estimates it appears that the deficiency cannot be made up until about the end of 1921. During the interim there must be larger market for our surplus pork and lard. The ability to buy must be affected to some extent by foreign exchange. So, too, will it be by taxes and all that goes to make up the aftermath of war. Yet, it is hard to measure an empty stomach by the exigencies of foreign exchange. !. Europe has bought American pork in the past because it needed it. In the future it will continue to buy for the same reason. Until it's herds have been built up to pre-war level, it will probably buy more because it will need more than normal. After the herds have been built up, it will need less, and may be expected to buy less -approximating pre-war takings.
 For the farmer, the lesson is that America is his primary pork market. A larger domestic market is to be secured by cheaper pork, made pos sible by increased production.-Jour- nal, New York.

 CORPORATION COMMISSION

Little Rock, Oct. 24-There is much interest in Little Rock and throughout the state in the decision by Chancellor J. V. Bourland at Fort Smith in the Freer case, attacking the constitu- tionality of the act creating the Ar kansas Corporation Commission. There are number of cases in var ious sections of the state dependent upon the final outcome of this case. As had been expected, the plaintiffs have taken an appeal. The decision upheld the validity of the act creating the commission.

EIGHTY.sIXTH BIRTHDAY.

Right Rev. Jos. F. Buh, V. G.,
formerly pastor of the Catholic
church in this city but acting bishop
of the Duluth diocese since the death
of Bishop McGolerick up to the time
of the appointment and ordination
of Bishop McNicholas, celebrated his
eighty-sixth birthday last week.
AS a token of remembrance, ad-
mirers of Father Buh in this city
sent him cash donation of $500.
Friends in Duluth remembered him
with an easy chair and the school
children called with candy and con-
gratulations. Father Buh in a let
ter to the Miner in which he states
that he has changed his address to
313 Third Ave. East, Duluth, where
he intends to reside the larger part
of his time, also says he has not for
gotten Ely and thilsss his friends here
have not forgotten. him. In closing
he says that he is very thankful for
all kind remembrances and "prays to
God that all be blessed and happy,
young and DID," The honored pre-
late has the well wishes of the entire
community on his anniversary.

TRIM UP AURORA.

The Ely City team of basketball
players slipped one over on the fast
Aurora bunch Saturday evening when
they came home with the game on a
score of Sc to "a. The Ely boys did
not inger on the job to any alarm
ing extent and in the first few seconds
of play started things going by ma
king a few baskets. They kept this
up to the end of the game. The Au-
rora boys were not idle however as
the score plainly shows and while a
small crowd witnessed the game
those who were present were treated
to one of the fastest exhibitions
staged there in some time.
Each team has now won a game
and the deciding contest will take
place at the Washington gymna-
stun tomorrow evening. A social
dancing party will be given after
the game. 1t is expected that a
large attendance will be on hand to
hearten up the Ely team for the VIC
tory they expect to achieve.

SAVE DAYLIGHT
TURN YOUR CLOCK AHEAD ONE
HOUR NEXT SUNDAY.

The nation will turn forward it's
clocks an hour on March 80 because
the daylight saving law is not effect
ed by the coming of peace.
While passed as measure to con-
serve fuel, the daylight saving law is
on the statute books to stay as per-
manent national policy, unless con-
gross repeats It. Thus far there has
been practically no agitation what
ever for the repeal of the law, and
while there are bills pending to repeal
r,e;.rly every other war measure this
one stands. The present congress adj
journed on March a, and it is certain
the new congress will not be in extra
session by that time. So there is
no chance of the law being repealed
for this year, at any rate. The gen.
eral impression in Washington is that
the people are pretty well satisfied
with the daylight law.
The bill provides for the clocks to
be changed the last Sunday in March.
That day this year is the Thirtieth.

EvELETH FIRST
PRIZE WAR GARDENERS OF THE

Eveleth got away with GO of the 271
prizes offered for home gardens and
103 of the 314 prizes offered for COM
munity gardens.
The Oliver Company, as we'll as
many of the Independent companies
operating in northeastern Minnesota,
provided seed and plowed the land
that was to be devoted to gardening
by their employees. The blowing was
done free of cost and in the case of
the Oliver Company represents an
expenditure of approximately ten
thousand dollars. The seed furn-
ished, in most instances free of
charge, represents in the case of the
Oliver Company an expenditure of
more than ten thousand dollars, to be
exact, $1O,252. The gardens were
divided into two classes, home gar
dens which were planted in the door
yards or back yards of the employees
home and community gardens, which
were planted on large tracts in which
uniformly plots were prepared for
each gardener. There were 2,183
home gardens planted by Oliver Com
pany employees and 2,Ac3 conmdpity
gardens. Prizes were ofeerd fcr the
gardens, the two classes being judged
separately. There was a total of
585 prizes having a cash value of
$2,245.
Eveleth led all the district of the
Lake Superior region in the number
of prizes won. Chisholm was second
and Hibbing third. The Minnesota

OPMENT OF
Low GRADE ORE
NEW PROCESS OF TREATING
LOW GRADE ORES MUST
BE FOUND.

Minnesota will cease to be the
leader as an iron producing commu
nifty within 25 or 80 years unless
means are developed to make prac-
tical the use of unlimited deposits OF
low grade ores of the iron ranges
according to bulletin on the iron
mining industry issued by the mines
experiment station at the University
of Minnesota.
Experiments now are being made
by the station to develop processes
that will make valuable for CONNER,
cial use the millions of tons of low
grade ores.
Although the present grade of
merchantable ore will not be exhaust
ed for about 80 years it is probable
that certain amount of low grade
ore could be utilized at the present
time if the proper means were de-
veloped for handling this material, u
the bulletin said.
Must Retain Advantages.
at must be remembered, however,
that this low grade iron ore industry
is in its infancy at the present time,
and if it is to thrive in way as to
become permanent in this district, it
must be aided and encouraged in
every possible way. The wonderful
transportation system, ore handling,
dockage equipment, organization and
capital now are available and ready
to assist in prolonging the life of the
industry.
''In this respect the Lake Superior
district has great advantage over any
other mining regions, but capital is
mobile, and railroads and docks can
be allowed to deteriorate, and as the
future ore supply becomes more and
more uncertain, this great advantage
may gradually disappear.

Enormous iron deposits, very &C

The total revenue received by the
state from all mineral sources in 1917
in taxes and royalties amounted to
$3,S42,153. In that year the mining
companies in Minnesota paid taxes

the state received $1,505,033. In
addition, approximately 81 ,460,033
was paid to the state in gross earn
