TENENT FARMERS
SUFFER MOST

St. Louisa loss of "a to 46 cents
q bushel on their wheat is being stuff
cred by Missouri tenent farmers. The
average yield this year is IA IL bush
els to the acre. Such are the findings
Of 0. R. Johnson, professor of farm
management University Of Missouri,
Columbia.
The average price received by our
ccooperators for wheat closely approx
mates 80 cents a bushel," says John
son. THE cost of production for the
average yield where a rent charge
amounting to one-third of the crop is
made for the use of the land is S1.1A
a bushel at the farm. On this basis
the farmers loss is "a cents a bushel.
In many parts of Missouri the rental
charge amounts to twO-ffths, in which
case the farmers loss is A6 cents p
bushel. A wheat grower this wear
paying one-third of the crop for use
Of the land would have to secure a
yield Of 80 bushels to the acre in order
to get cost of production for his CROP.
IT he is paying two-ffths rent he
would have to get SO bushels per acre
to pay cost of production if he must
sell his wheat for 80 cents per bushel. -

NOT ALTOGETHER SATISFACTORY

1t is generally admitted that the just
passed apple season was not fortune
making one for the growers Of the
Okanogan valley, largely owing to
shortage of cars although the market
did not prove to be what was ex-
pected in the early stages of ship
ments. However the true reason for
light returns can be charged up to the
inability of the railroad to supply
transportation, for those who were
able to place their apples on the
eastern market early reaped satisfact-
ory returns. If dependence can be
placed upon reports Of the ex-
perience Of numerous growers in
regard to returns on shipments. a
lot of them were in luck If they did
not find themselves owing money for
freight commission. etc, at the end
of the season. We have been unable
to secure reports from most of the
growers in the north end of the county
but il all were as fortunate as the
few wlo have reported then 1t is
evident that this locality faired far
better than any other part of the val
ley. ]. A. Blackler states that his net
returns were s2.47 box on Delicious
and his Saps stood him in hand pro-
fit of 81. 06 box Which was not dusty
when you come to learn how in
numerous places the returns were nil.

PROSPECT OF MORE MINING.
Frank Gr0gan's Properties Near Night.
hawk Attracting Attention.

Frank Grogan's recent visit to the
of the Gazette, was not pleasure
jaunt. He was out on business, and
had the good fortune to transact busi-
ness that may eventually result in
landing him on East Street, a locality
where he mas earned comfortable
residence for his togged persistence
in hanging on to and improving min
ing property for over rs years. For
be it known that Mr.. Grogan has held
a group Of claims not far remote from
the Four Metals for a quarter of a
century and by pecking away, largely
by his lonely, he has driven a long
hole in the mountain, and in the pro-
cess Of driving has encountered an
excellent quality OF ore and lots of it,.
Lacking the necessary capital to do
any extensive work, or work on an ex-
tensive scale, he had to depend large
ly upon mis- own Drawn, as hereinbe-
fore mentioned. But Mr.. Grogan has
considerable amount of Drawn, a
never falling supply of confidence
and a persistency that is praise
worthy. On a number of occasions he
has come near to interesting capital
in his property. but through some un-
fortunate turn of events the deals
have never materialized. While out
at Seattle recently, so it is reported,
he succeeded again in interesting
mining men with the necessary finan-
cial backing to come in and give tle
property the once over, anyhow. We
are informed that these gentlemn ar
rived here the latter part Of last week
and proceeded to the mine. The re-
suit of the visit has not as yet been
ascertained. However, il the decis-
ion proves to be favorable it will
mean the opening up of another prom
ising mining property on a large
scale In this neighborhood, and will
contribute toward putting this upper
country on the map as going mining
district.
