Weeding "j from Wheat.
V Wherever winter wheat Is grown, rye
la regarded a a weed that need most
to be exterminated, though rye rarely
yield aa large a crop as wheat when
sown by Itself. It Is a curious fact
that whenever a little rye get among

crease every year until it become
more than half the crop. It la possi
ble that growing both together will
give a larger crop than either alone. Of
late year wheat ha been nearly down
to rye price, so that H doe not matter
much If both graiua are mixed and
gathered together when the harvest
comes. But as rye heads out a week or
tea day In advance of the wheat. It Is
an easy matter to go through the grain
and cut off the heads of rye as they
peer above the other grain. It Is well
enough to do thia for the wheat Intend

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
nowninc, Hopkins A Company's Kavlaw j
. ar Trad. .
There were a number of considera
tions in the wheat market to unsettle
the ideas of trader. Th uneaaines
over the July deal on account of th
small stocks has been one of th fuctor.
It wa started by th discovery tha
trade in July would not settle with
one of the prominent elovator concern,
and the conclusion w at once reached
that this concern had bought enough
July wheat to develop an interesting
situation with local contract stock of
wheat o abnormally low. Not only
are local stock and the American visi
ble away below last year's level, but
the reoenl doorcase have each week
been greater than expected. On account
of the good cash trade the local out
inspection ha been heavy, and each
week a largo percentage of the local
tock i moved out. The position taken
by th board of trade directory on the
elevator question was inoliiied to add
to the iineasines regarding til possi
bility of a July queee, v
Among the minor consideration
have been the change In the weather,
the renorU of locust in th North
west, the good spring wheat flour trade.
In a general way the market ha been
Unsettled and easily Influenced in either
direction by a comparatively small
volume of trade.
