S0.1IE fM T.S C0rERIC WHEAT. f regsn tied Wheat Will flake Good flar fcsiable Flour In Imprtant Ar ticle on This Subject. Farmers will do well to call on me before making arrangements elsewhere v!8n27yl. Mr. IT. C. Huston furnishes the Eugene Guard with the following interesting article oil Red Wheat, which shows conclusively that the best tlonr is made from it, and cites the authorities from the leading millersi in the United States. We reproduce the letter below in full: October, 1881, I wrote a letter to Minneapolis, Minnesota, asking for information as to the varieties of wheat used; raised and ground in that State, famous thvooghout the world for its wheat and superior flour. The answers to my letter and ques tions came back printed in the Far mer's Union and Minneauolis Trib une, dated Xovember .1, 1881, and hereare a few extracts from the ans wers, which may interest the farmers, merchants and Millers of Oregon: "In reply, we would say that our .Minneapolis millers make their best flour from a variety of wheat known as the 'Scotch Life,' which is a hard, red Spring wheat. In fact, it. is the only va iety that can be used to profit. Of al! the Spring varie ties of wheat known in Mi'nne- s ta, there is only one that is white, which is the w hite Fife, an 1 that originated near this city. Of its merits we are not ad vised, from 1 he fact that it is, comparatively speak ing;, a new wheat. The Odessa, Lost Xation, Siberian and Rio Grande are all varieties, bnc none of them are equal to the Scotch Fife in the pro duct of flour of a superior quality. It matters not whether Fall or Spring wheat, the red is worth the most in all our markets, an I brings more money in' Chicago, Milwaukee, New York and all markets than the white varieties, because it makes better flour and more of it. We should ay, however, that this has not always, hern so, but since the latter improvements have been introduced into our mills, the red varieties are the favorites of all classes, the. millers, the. consumers, I ha ware houseman, the speculator, the baker, and last though not least, our good wives, who are always fond, as wall as proud of, good, light, white, heal thy bread. We would by all means advise him as well ?s the farmers of Oregon, to immediately introduce the Scotch Fife. They will jirobably find it superior to all other varieties, and as we are pretty certain that theNorthern Pauific Railroad will be completed during the next three or four years, they will find a ready market for their wheat. We do not know that it .would pay fto transport wheat so far by rail to our Minneapo lis mills, but it will pay. the enter prising millers of- Oregon to trans port flour madefrom Scotch Fife to the remotest parts of the earth, as our Minneapolis millers do to-day, and thev. make money by doing, fio, especially when the flour is-.iad.et'j trom oooicn rue wneat. HJfjmn afford the Farmers' Union-jmd week lyTrine much pleasure to forward theriftferests ot the farmers of Ore gon in every - particular in regard to this all important matter of ra'rf jng the best varieties of wheat. I was induced to write a letter, to which the above extracts are an an swer in part, by the fact that some, and Ido not know how many, of onr Oregon warehousemen refuse to store red wheat in tbjer warehouse; and be cause some of onr Oregon miHers say red wheat does not or will not make good white flour, and because I have been informed that our shippers will not buy it at all, and because some of our wheat raisers, who were probably confined to corn bread in youth, assert that red wheat cannot .make white flour. Acting partly in self-defense, and feeling determined to expose what I belived, aye, what I knew to be a fal lacy, I-sent to headquarters for infor mation, and the above extracts clinch conclvsively One of the numerous fal laeiesjwhich has gone for years all most unquestioned in Oregon. Now, there arc other pnestions to be an swered at home in Oregon I mean. There arc tbonsandsqf bushels of red wheat ground . ia3ahe- county every year; what becomes of the poor flour made from it? NoSie of onr millers grind poor or bud flour, or if they do, they do not. sell or adver tised it. What becomes of the poor or. in ferior flour made from red wheat? Are our mills and millers so antiqua ted, so far behind the times in- skill and "modern improvements," that they cannot grind to an advantage red wheat? Will they admit this? If they will, let them explain what becomes of the red wheat flour made in their mills. Why do merchants in Eastern markets prefer the wheat rejected by our merchants here? D. our exporters gauge English millers and mills by those of Oregon? If the mills of England are made to grind to advantage the red wheats of Minnesota, Daeotah, Manitoba, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, can they not grind anil make as good flour oit of red wheat raised in Oregon? Can our exporters of wheat explain wiiy the red vareties of wheat from every nation under the sun, except Oregon, find ready sale and pass current in the markets of England. There are localities in Oregon and elsewhere where no known or tried variety of white wheat will succeed, and as the un fortunate settlers in such places strive honestly to live, and can make fair crops of red wheat, it is but fair that they should have an honest m l honorable chance to do so, the merchants, the millers and ware housemen to the contrary notwith standing. To this end and in their behalf I respectfully submit the question tayou, and hope the Guard and its exchanges, interested in agriculture, will give the matter a general airing. Your humble servant, II. C. Hustok. SOITCERS PAPER OS REPIMATIOS. What Tennessean could comment upon the teKtiinony which discloses the use of poisons in politics! " When we find in Tennessee the methods Italians used centuries ago, long abandoned in all countries unless it be Turkey and Abyssinia, words fail There is no language developed iir which to ex press abhorrence. Manhood sickens and the very stomach of manhood turns in disgust. If it were not too clearly revealed it would staggar belief. When it was whispered last winter we utterly refused to credit it. The very truth must be told. Tennessee has won the dishonorable distinction of disclosing in her politics the most damning blot ever laid upon any State in this Union. Let it rest where it belongs. The party which taught Tennesseans to dis regard the public faith, broke up all ties of private faith and obligation, and all respect for law, and made this thing possible here possible nowhere else in America, we hope. Let no injustice be dong. , Niney-nine huhdredths of members, .of the low-tax party are as deeply filleiwi tli shame and scorn as any of tkejWgoajSfi of Tennessee, and let it be-coriflJhat this fatal principle taught by,u'low-tax leaders did not alone corrupt'themselves. It has surely touched some of the weaker and worst of all parties. It must be remembered that this infernal principle of repudia tion of public obligatioriaiid the ties of public faith has so bV5gdovn all obligations men owe t'q'-Sach other, to the State' and to the. law, as to haji'e made this possible. WHeri that is said, let us remember that this is the shame of us all, because it rests on Tennessee until she redeems herself. The thing now is to put an end forever to this radical communism and to" ban ish birds of evil from influence in Ten nessee politics. Nashville American. An Cngreatful member. There was but one vote in the Tennessee leg'slature against the resolutions of respect and sorrow for the character and tragic death of the late President Garfield. It is hardly necessary to explain that the nega tive vote was cast by Beasley, the ornate ass who mixed up Socrates, Cicero and Jesus Christ in a string of repudiation 'resolutions during the last session ot the legislature, riis objection was to the word . patriotic a word which he hardly under stands. .Tlie"JralmoiiyQrin his little soul, however; Svss no doybt,. the de sire, of notoriety. . the same, thing which inspired Guitean to,, assassin ate President Garfield. -Jaekson Tribune and Sun. . v.
