Editor JovRmirt n your lasns vf August ST'th that Mr Otorge Belshaw. re ject the patt of niy challenge on quantity of wheat per acn. On quantity I.wa ur to win two or five year hence. t bat tri'ed all th varieties obtained of Mr jelshaw thra yean ago, and find the Red t'h ff Club doe th beat here. Th other varietljs . nearly all mature well, but many of them grow lno much to straw; the head are too easily shelled off the wheat by the action of th wind UKn the crop before harvesting caube completed. The farmrn east nf the Cascade Mountain p.iust bavt wheat with stiff straw and a club variety for th present Th wheat I challenge on i the He.l Chaff Club, which yWd more per acre aud makes nperlor flour to Little Club-a variety raised n Oregon In early days, and Is grown hen most generally at the prrnent time. A near a I can remember In Oregon th Little Club mad yellow flour. That of Red Chaff Club is of more white color and much inptrlor quail 1 am willing to admit that wheat grown In Lan county, Oregon, la of as fine quality as a person can find In any county. But my chal lenge waa, Can you raise more wheat ler acre and make therefrom better bread than from the samples grown here? I shall not 1 abl to accept any challen- tin Fall for th reason that my entire crop of Red Chaff Club will be used for seed. But I now challenge Mr Bel- thaw for next Fall a follow, to-wit; W will each end a carload of wheat, Fall or Spring wheat, to Minneapolis, Minn., to be floured aud have samples of bread made there from from Minneapolis baker; wheat, flour and bread to lw pronounced upon there by ex perts, as the miller or other person or person we may (elect shall decide. Such decision to to I reiNirted to 11 by mall. I under stand that arrangements are lielng made by the N P R R for shipping whrat East, ami It 1 not pmbabl that w would meet with any lo In o doing. If we should not make satisfactory arrrangameut with the N. P., U. R. Co., then we will have a home oontlit You will use one variety of wheat only the same optional with your self.

My challenge wa a fair nne, but Mr , Duncan decliue to accept, but ha auother for me whi?h is more of wild iroos chase than the former one. , He now sayo to decide this contest that each 0' u send a car load of wheat to Minnesota to he floured, and (ample of bread made therefrom by Imkers be decided upon exierU, and be reiortod back by mail. This challenge, like the former one, U very Indefinite -say nothing about th wheat and only mention the bread and flour.
