THE ORE50N, SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY x MORNING, JULY 19, 1914. 7 MI IHH RFTTFR B ae" aaaa, aaaw INDEPENDENT OF THE PITT E Wheat Price Here Are Governed Not by Vhat Speculators in the Et Do, but by What Europe Will Paf. for Surplus Stock. The question has been asked many times, recently: "What effect does tbo Chicago market have upon the pries of wheat in the Pacific northwest?" In normal seasons Chicago has ab solutely no bearing upon the price or i grain In the North Pacific coast states and even during tiroes of curtailed pro duction east or the Rockies, the effect upon the price-of the Pacific coast 'cereal is extremely limited. 'The-only wav that Chicago can pos- slbly ' affect the price . of grata upon the Psclfis coast. Is for the trade there to influence that of Europe. In a -roundabout way this influence would be felt here. There Is an enormous crop of .red wheat throughout the United States and Canada and for that reason there is very likely to be a very slow and weak as well as low . market for that cereal during the present season. . - Bed Wheat Affected. - Th red wheat of the Pacific north west states Is likely to? suffer along with the grain of the rest of the United States and Canada; The white wheat of this - section is the most sought after wheat for exporting purposes in the world. European-milling interests are very much interested In the white wheat of the Pacific northwest and in some seasons tM premium between the red wheat of east of the Rockies and the white cereal from this section, amounts to several cents a bushel. In tact it Is stated that recent large ' sales ' of export wheat along the At lantic seaboard were made at about 6c a bushel less than the Pacific coast 1 basis. ' Notwithstanding all the. cry of alarm among buying Interests at the inactiv ity of the cargo market here, there 'arDears to be a somewhat better feel- Ins abroad. Latest advices of the crops of Europe are somewhat lees favorable than former ones and this naturally has bad a more favorable ef fect upon the trade. The weakness in the coarse grain market has been nrolonaed and the outlook for the future is no better. The temporary showing of strength for . barley in California disappeared- dur ing the latter part of the week and . there is at the moment practically .nothing ln-slsht in the oats trade. Baa Market Stagnant. Market for grain bugs is stagnant. An artificial showing of steadiness was created here by speculative Interests during the week but this did not fool the country at all. The result was very limited movement. Toward the closing of the week the situation .was further aggrevated by the offering, here by California at lower prices of bags .purchased earlier in the season when it was nenevea mere wouiu ue a. auurv . lasa for earlv delivery In the south.

Views but Seem to Be Need- lessly Alarmed Regarding the Future; Biff Crop Is Unlikely Eastern interests are already start lng their bearish campaign to secure supplies of Oregon apples this season at lower prices than the product Is actually worth. ' T .out v.afi exnerlencs of arowers who were so anxious to sell at any old price If they were given the cash, has taurht them a lesson that they are not likely to forget, within the period of a elnrle season. Then, as now, eastern Buyers were talking of low prices for apples, al though the views were not so pro nounced bearish then as now. Careful survey of the situation hnw. iLhaolutelv- no need for alarm among. Pacific northwest growers. The apple . crop ox me wwm ia nut vu nrom line as some oi tn Duyms in terests are trying to mak the grower believe. While the outlook Is very good in anmA Mictions the present appear ance of the crop is for a much smaller out put than first anticipated. i buyers wno neia on vw ivug iui tn ret their suDDlles. -were taught a lesson that they, too, will not lorget very soon, iners i an out look for moderate apple prices this H.nn and it is idle for eastern buy ers to assert that quotations are go ing extremely, low. The Pacific north west from which an immenso crop was rigurea oy many win ui near the volume forecast and the same Is true of other American centers, British Wool Clip Vanes but Little The number of sheep In the United Kingdom has remained peculiarly con stant for a long period of years. The largest number was reached In 1892. when It exceeded 33,000,000. The pres ent number in about zs.uoo.uuo, so mat. estimating the value Of sheep per head at $7.30, it is estimated that about $204,400,000 is invesiea m sneep. Tt anrjear imDOsslble to ascertain with accuracy the average weight per head of wool produced. Because mere are so many types of animals produc ing varying quantities of wool. For example, the small Scottish sheep, which thrives on little, produces a fleece of perhaps four or five pounds, and the massive Lincoln yields as a iv nnnnds. Bv estimating xhe average at eight pounds, the total would be 224,000.000 pounds of wool. An estimate of Is. (24 1-8 cents) per pound is placed on the entire clip, which would make a total value of $54,500,000 for the current year's pro- ,n"T,Tp tables show the num ber of sheep In the United Kingdom and production of wool, the amount ex ported, and "the amount retained for home consumption during the last 10 K""8 -Sheen. 10O4 .: in f'1' i05 "irrmmrL--..;. fi,o78.8oo lava - iiiinvi 1806 1907 1908 ... 29,210.000 ... 80.O11.UW ... 81,832,400 ... 81.839.800 1909 ..... 1910 1911 ... 81,164,600 ... 80,479,800 ... 28,964.800 1912 1913 Lett lor V.Tnorta- borne con- Tears.

One of the first and simplest methods to de termine quality of milk was to set samples of milk in glass Casks and the cream allowed to rise. The meas urement of the thickness of the cream then Indicated somewhat the richness of the milk, but it was soon found ..v,.o ww ,uu tiwuvo to the percentage of fat, due to the difference In the size of fat globules and the conditions under which they were hrm, ah t L th . .m Vr. The next method brought into use was that by use of specif lo gravity. It was known that the richer the mils the smaller lta soecifio arravltv. The churn tests next came into use i .th J lnt or quart m pie was taken from each patron's cream and churned in a separate can and this yield of butter used in the determination of butterfat delivered by the patron. This method, although more accurate than the cream meas uring system, was somewhat cumber' some. As an outgrowth of this sys- n . . . a "l"wa w. cream wm piacea in a placed small glass tube and agitated and churned. The tube, with many others, was agitated In the same frame, then was placed in hot water and the fat melted and allowed to rise to the top. xne sample was again agitated to gather more fat if . possible, again melted and read from tha ton of th. tube. This test worked fairly well witn cream but with whole milk (this was before the time of separators) more or less fat was left uncburned. In 1877 Marchard's lactobutyrometer was introduced. The test bv lta uat I consisted In the introduction of acetlo I acid anl oth.r lm into the milk and the i fat. hayina- risen to the too of the I : . w me iop oi tne 7t-iK W" U' ficult with some samples of fat to get a clean separation. The Huern's pioscope consisted of a hard rubber disc in the center of I which was a small denreaaion. and tha I circie painiea in segments of yary1 shades to represent cream. I very rich milk, normal miiv , surrounding circle painted In segments milk, etc. The dron of milk, to ba tested, was placed in the central de. 1 presslon and covered with a thin glass piate, 10 aive a uniform lavar of thickness. The opacity of this drop of milk upon the black background was men . compared with the corre sponding segment of tae circle. This method accompanied by a specific 1 gravity lactometer is still In use ry I city milk insnectora lf Ff ef -otoscope was another opac- u7 Instrument. It consisted of a glass I cylinder, in the center of which was fixed a white rod graduated with black lines, a certain, amount of milk was 10 1 poured Into the cylinder and, due to its opacity, tne oiack lines were Invis- lble. The quality of the milk was de termined by the amount of water nec essary to be added to make the lines visible. , A number of methods followed sim ilar in general to our present Babcock test, but all requiring too much time or too bulky or inaccurate. Some of these methods are known as -Soxhlet's method. De Laval laetocida. Flord'a J0 1 control apparatus. Short's method. Fallyer and Wlllard's method. Parson's 10 method, low station test and Coch ran's method. Babeock Test Developed. In 1890 Dr. S. M. Babcock of Wiscon sin Agricultural college invented the test bearing his name, and the one i present common use. To destroy the solids other than fat. Dr. Babcock makes use of a single reagent, com mercial sulphuric acid, of a specific gravity of 1.82 or 1.83, and to separate the fat from the remaining contents of the test bottle centrifugal force is used, hot water being- added to brink le the fat of the flask up to the gradu ated part. The test Is made in a small flask with a. narrow graduated 10 1 neck. Several other methods, as the Beimllng test, Gerbefs method and De Laval Separator company method, have been introduced since Babcock's meth od, but none used to any extent. As an explanation here. I wish to say that many persons go by the color of milk as .an indication of richness. It may be somewhat of an "Indica tion," but not a "determination.' -The Babcock method of testing hav- Inar tma In nromllwnt nao rm r tha 10 I close of the nineties, the different na 10 I tional dairy breed associations began 1 to make use or tne crocess. and bv 10 1902 most of them, had established a 399 I process of -Conducting official records. in wnai oraer mese associations too a tin thta manner nf work ta not knnwa 1 f en. urt.liil hnt I I.
