LATAH WHEAT GROWERS

IAATAH WHEAT GROWERS
The news columns of the Star
Mirror have been frightened from
time to time by reports from the
warehousemen receiving wheat. The
receipts totalled have shown arf ex-
ceptional yield, and this yield has
been featured by records from the
standard SO to the abnormal SO
pounds. There is no getting over
these elevator measurements. They
stand as an index of fertilizing meth
DDS, of cultivation methods, and last
but not least of improved machinery
for harvesting the golden grain. In
this latter respect tests have been
made Of machines that did the work
very we'll, much to the credit of the
implement firms In some of these
tests volunteer wheat, dry and shriv-
elled, tried the capacity of the ma
chimes, and these tests were under
taken for a purpose. They were sue
cessful according to the reports from
the buyers and experiment men. But
to turn again to the harvest the re-
cent declaration by the state board
that the warehouses and their man
agement could be regarded in every
sense as public utilities emphasizes
the Importance of the crop. The
state commissioner said emphaticaily
that the holding of wheat for better
prices should be encouraged. Ship
ments however are going on The
farmer has to realize. But in spite
of this fact it is of moment to know |
that the bankers of Moscow are ne
gotiating the warehouse certificates
showing that Farmer John or Far
mer Tom has a certain quantity of
wheat stored and that this is col
lateral for loans at market prices. i,
And taken all in all the wheat har
vest is an index of prosperity in La
tab county.
William Jennings Bryan, who, for
the information of the uninitiated,
we would state, has been in the pub
lie eye before, in an address deliver
ed at Chicago on Labor Day asserted
that the retailers of the country are :
the ones who threw the block in t
front of the back to normally wagon,
bringing it to dead stop Someone q
else will lay the blame with labor e
and still someone else will place it
at the door of the government, or h
of the railroads, or some blamed I
place, with one probably as near
right as the other. AS a matter of II
fact, considering the distance we had h
to come, we have made pretty good L
Roadway toward normalcy. There :
are some inequalities and rough
places to be worked down, but that lii
is coming gradually M
