COWS.
trlct apread about Lewiston, Idaho, ao
that section. E. P,
cording to advices from the promlnen
gram buyers oi mat section. Hi J
Llnd of the Interior Warehouse com
pany declares that the grain growers
who have disposed of their crone are nn.
loriunare, oecause ec nis Dener tnat
grain prices will continue to rise, jut
as tney nave aone ever since tne ran
harvest. t
The fact that a large percentage of the
farmers of that and -other adjacent
larming regiona were pressea nara ror
cash, is given as the chief cause for
the early sales. It is not because these
rarmera have raised inferior crops that
they are In need of money, for in fact
tne crops were good aa a rule, but they
are buying, their farms and need the
money for payments. They cannot af-
rora to Keep tneir money tied up in
their crops. -
A few years ago ths same farmers
who are ' now holding their grain for
the spring market and for a higher
price, were numbered among those who
were compelled to sell early to get the
money. Theae are considered rich now,
for with the money they secured for
early sales they have completed pay
ments on their homes and : have large
areas of farming lands, ,
The aame rule applies to a great ex
tent cloaer to Spokane, The crops have
been aenerally more than satisfactory i
and though there is scarcely as large a
percentage of the growers who have sold
ss there ara about Lewiston, those that
have disposed of their grain have done
so for the simple purpose of raising
money tor payments on tneir rarma.
Grain buyers declare it IS doubtful
