TAKING CARE OF
|DAH0'S WHEAT

julius H. Jacobson, Agricultural
Statistician, reports the following:
The United States wheat crop does
not compare favorably with previous
years. The August forecast of 755
million bushels is "a million less
than last year. IL is also 20 million
bushels less than the five year av-
erage-1015 to 1019-production of
S31 million bushels.
The latest reports indicate that
drought is widespread i'm Europe
and India, the continuation of which
will probably seriously affect spring
sown crops. Conditions in France
are said to be the worst in many
years, the prolonged drought caus-
ing keen uneasiness. Crops in east
ern Canada have suffered from
drought, but conditions in western
provinces are favorable.
In view of the fact that Idaho has
wheat crop estimated at &c mil
lion bushels, the question of holding
the grain in store one of the great
est importance to the business in
terests of this state. 1t is general
ly conceded that wheat will go high
er and the Importance of the state
receiving the maximum price for its
crop is apparent.
Section 2O31, Idaho Compiled
Statutes, reads as follows;
The business of marketing farm
products in this state is hereby de-
clared to be affected with public
and to be subject to regula-
Section 6179 defines the bonded
law as follows:
The term public warehouse as
used in this chapter shall be deemed
TO mean every building, structure,
or other protected enclosure in
which any agricultural produce is re-
ceived for storage or transfer FOR
such warehouses
are hereby declared to be public
utilities.
Following the provisions of the
law above cited, bonded warehouses
are authorized to receive grain in
storage and issue therefor a negoti-
able receipt which affords the pro-
Queer the very best of security, full |
y protected by bond and insurance |
policies, for negotiating temporary |
oans and availing himself of the |
privilege of holding his grain if he |
so desires. The law is so arranged |
hat is is practically impossible for |
anyone to sustain o loss by virtue |
If these negotiable receipts, and 1T
lffords the warehouseman a reason
lble compensation for the use of his
and likewise an opportu-
lity to buy the wheat when it is Of
cred for SALE
Warehouses are not required to
five over all their space to storage,
,ut taht proportion of 1T in keeping
With their usual storage business,
eservng in most cases one half OF
heir capacity for handling cash bus
ness. The practice of forcing the
arer to sell direct from the machine
hould be discouraged, it would
eem, for the reason that he is enti-
led to the full benefit of a rising
market and if he is deprived of this,
n a large percentage of cases the
rotits naturally rising therefrom ac-
rue to outside interests instead OF
o the business interests of Idaho.
When warehouses are filled, as
hey doubtless will be, arrangements
an be made to move this storage
heat to terminal elevators, and I'M
Il the same is sold, the farmers,
nder the provisions of the ware
ouse law, are accorded a legal GER
fcate of storage which in itself is
+ the very highest collateral value.

MAKING FARMING.PAY ITS WAY

cents . peck, retailt This would seem to be at the rate of thirty-six cents a bush el, of which price the 6nion-grower cer- -tainly received only fraction. Yet any, Pone who has any inside knowledge of on- ion-growing knows that, at present prices of seed, fertilizer and labor, onions can't be grown for thirty-six cents a bushel- nor for twice thirty-six cents.
 Now, the salesinanship which Is pre- dicated as thes basis for farm success would seem to require the farmer to sell his onions, wholesale, on the farm, for about three times what they will bring at retail, in the city market. I would like to see some commercial traveller, with about forty years experience sell ing ready made clothing, tackle that pro position. I should. like to know how he would start, how he would proceed-arid l how far he would get before the explo- i sion took place.!. have had some years | experience in that plebeian form of sales manship .knowns as truck-peddling, and | frankly admit that the job doesn't appeal 1 to my limited capacities.
 l very similar condition prevails in al- most all farm @ production. Railroads complain, with justice, too, against a condition of things which forbids them I to earn their own running expenses The l l that it cost that road SLOT for every $1 | it took in. Now the big Pennsylvania
 system reports that it is paying out, in
 wages and other operating expenses l $1.05 for every $1 it receives.
 As rule, the farmers Of the country paid out, last season, a good deal more
 than s1.o7 for every s1 they could Sell their products for, ~ras .s.. s,,s-.i..-s, N;
 If city cSAsunAers are not getting their flour and their meats and their vegeta bles at connparabfy low price, it is solely the fault of the cumbersome; in efficient, and graft-permeated system by
 which farm products are transferred J from field to kitchen.
 So far as the consumers are concern
 ed. that is the place at which the,
 should strike "A reform of our distrib
 uting methods would result in a reduc
 costs of living. ii But that is their side of It. If the!
 don't profit by farmers' present losses
 it is their own fault, not the farmers I Nevertheless, such prefting by then would be of small help to the farm pre ducers. For. they, as truly as the con 1 sumers, have a right to be paid for thet . work and their risks. It is not whole
 some to plan a campaign which shoul, Ipre-assume that they will always los money, for the advantage of no matte
 how deserving bunch of consumers.
 They must have at least hope thA their farming will pay it's way. Seere , tary Wallace inttmates that sone plaf ; road to this result lies in their becoA ing better salesmen.
 Let us trust they will find means to hn Iprove themselves in this respect: For Improvement of some sort is rs ther urgently demanded.

Improvement In the Breeding OF
American Porkers.

The economic genius who figured
out that all that was needed to bring
unbounded prosperity to the cotton
mills Of New England was to add bali
an inch to each ChinamaE's shirt tall
never carried out his project, but the
Chinaman, without announcing his
plan, has done something quite rs re-
narkable: He has added inches to
the legs Of the American pig.
He has not done 1t alone. lie has
had help from the East and West III.
dies and from our own farmers In the
South. The process was0 simple and
was just another instance Of q great
industry altering itself almost ancon-
| sciously to meet new conditions, the
Nations Business states.
Not many years ago the prizes of
the pig world went to the round, short
legged type. the kind Of hog thai you
couldn't see under. The chief purpose
in the life Of that hog was to turn
corn into lard. Now it's the pig type
that IS popular. the pig that makes
more lean meat, more bacon and more
ham.
| What has done It? For one thin,
the Chinaman and his soy bean, coco
nut, corn. cottonseed and peanut ar
furnishing a vast amornt Of lard sub
stitutes at prices lower than tho pil
can supply his product. So the -four
legged lard factory Is turning to tn
ham business and the Chipansn, nj

HOT WATER ALWAYS AT HAND
Continuous Flow Of Boiling Liquid
and Steam From the Innur1erab'e
Geysers Of iceland.

The hot-water fountains Of Iceland
are on mounds averaging seven feet IN
height, the top of each of which forms
the edge of a sort Of basin. From
these basins the steam of boiling wa
ter can be seen rising and the over
flow of water Is continuous. The con-
tents of these basins Is as clear as
crystal and one can see to a great
depth, while just below the surface
are many wonderfully beautiful white
incrustatiOns, to obtain samples OF
which many a visitor to Iceland has
burned his fingers. The petrifcations
caused by the boiling water streams
from the geysers include birch and
willow leaves, grass and PUSHES seem
ingly converted into marble.
At no time is 1t entirely safe tt
loiter in the vicinity Of one Of these
bottomless basins, for the geyser ha'
a way of spouting and gives no ad
vance warning. Sometimes there vii
be a shoot of boiling water to a heigh
of Is feet, followed by a succession o
jets. The highest shoot Of which Their
is any record was 80 feet.
/ Occasionally a basin will for som
, unexplained reason become entirel
empty, or will give forth a "steal
