Weather and Wheat
THE world has been submerged in a mountain of wheat
which seemed to grow larger each crop year. "Overpro
duction" was the cry, and the constant appeal came to re
duce acreage. This call came from the department of agricul
ture, oftentimes without realization that some sections are
ltTll04r) 4" V71AQ TWi-Jl1T-l Al Viw 4-V -? MOAWAnllirinl At 4-11 A4nrVI
or that switching to some other crop merely meant to build
up its surplus. Farmers felt they could not individually re
duce their acreage because the secret of their individual pros?
perity lay in producing the most wheat they could, often
with the hopes that other farmers would raise little wheatJ
As has occurred so many times in the past nature takes
a hand in the crop game. After all the margin between con
sumption and production is never large. While wheat is be
ing harvested every day of the year in some quarter of the
globe it is also being consumed in every quarter of the globe
- every day. Suspend production for a few months and there
would be deficiency of cereal crops for the proper sustenance
of mankind.
Last year nature took a hand and the winter wheat
production of the American southwest was sharply reduced.
The effect however was slight for still there was a world
surplus. This winter nature is again interposing unkind ele
ments and the southwest crop will be the lowest since the
expansion of that great wheat country. In addition to a xiry
fall there has been a freezing winter. This week's blizzard
is adding to the destructive nature of the season. The win
ter .wheat through the northwest has been winter killed. It
is tjrue even in the Willamette valley where such a thing is
very rare.
It may be that nature will restore the balance and re
duced production will result in increased price. A great
deal of course will depend on the spring wheat production
especially in Canada, where the total is always variable,
and last year's large yield may not be duplicated this year.
Price will also depend on the buying power of the importing
countries, and on their domestic production.
Such a crop failure in 1897 led to a sudden rise in the
price of wheat which was a great factor in the restoration
of prosperity to the American farms of that period. Euro
pean crops were very light, the American crop was good,
and our exports went abroad at a high price. The immediate
need is for better prices for farm crops and wheat is noted
as a pace-maker. It may not be predicted with any degree
of assurance; but the elements are present for an up-surge
of grain prices which will bring farm relief more substantial
and more satisfactory than mortgage moratoriums Or con
gressional doles.
The wheat situation Is not hopeless; and while the
farmers feel badly as they gaze out over fields of dead wheat,
they may in the end be much better off if it helps bring
about a rise in agricultural prices.
Prohibition Repeal
NO natter how much we may dread the resubmission of
the prohibition amendment to our state constitution,
such a step seems logical in view of the repeal of the enforc
ing act in the last election. If statutes to effectuate prohi
bition have been wiped off the books, then the amendment
ffk Imnotent. It is worse than impotent because then it ef-
fectnallv bars any control legislation of any kind. So wMle
we are not supporting repeal of state prohibition, we do say bon recruit-eerrice; li-oo. noon

(Continuing from yesterday:)
Concluding, tho Spalding letter:
" "School: For tho last 4 years
tho school ha steadily increased

vanced in learning to read ft

winter it No over 300 most of tho

weeks 140 in dally attendance in

ciple men of the nation, it crowd

low to overflowing nearly every
other room in the house. Prob
ably half of the school consists of
adults. Two thirds of the school
print their own books, with tho
pen. The first class from two or
three copies tarnished, tho 2nd
from the books -of the 1st A so

furnished from scripture. Perhaps
1-0 of the school can read ft spell

own language. The chiefs govern
the school.

hope to finish this fall, ft will
doubtless greatly enlarge the
school ft serve as a house of wor

several have passed from death to

cluding the principle chief of the
Kayuse tribe, were added to our
church who have been on trial 2
ft 3 years. Last winter the glor
ious work ol God appeared more
f extensive ft genuine than at any
former period, the eubjects clear
ly showing more knowledge of di
vine truth. Several hundred ft
perhaps a thousand publicklr ex
pressed a hope that God had de
livered them from the bondage ot
sin, ft a determination to devote
themselves to his service. Out of
aU these however only some 55 or
60 have been selected & often
examined ft in a manner pro
pounded as candidates for church
membership at some future time,
The Lord only knows their hearts.
ii is a most ieanui step to pro
ceed either to receive or not re
ceive a supposed heathen convert
into the church of the living God.
Oh how much wisdom from above
is needed in such an hour. The
sabbath congregation as also the
schol increases or
rather bo-
comes more permanent every win
ter for 6 or 7 months in propor
tion as the quantity ot grain rais
ed in this vicinity yearly increas
es. It is quite probable that for
many years at least what is done
in the way school teaching espe
cially, ft preaching may be added,
must be done during the I or 7
months of cool season. Partly be
cause much ot the missionaries
time during the remainder of the
year, is taken up in looking after
his own affairs, ft partly on ac
count of tho great heat, but more
especially because the people must
continue to resort to their rook
grounds, fisheries fte for a part
of their subsistance tiU they can

source in sufficient nos by which
to obtain an adequate supply of
food from the soli. Ploughs are
eagerly sought after by this peo
ple. Last spring a trader spent a
few weeks in the vicinity in per
sult of Beaver ft only obtained
one Otter. The Beaver were ft
are still all in reserve for ploughs

Tho remarkable success of the
Spalding mission in teaching the
Nea Perce Indians, getting them
to pursue the art. of arxienltnra.
and converting them to tho Chris
tian religion, was outstanding in
an American experience.
To this day, tho church thus
established at Lapwal, Idaho, per
sist, and maintain, services, after
I nearly 109 years and lthas -
warm, from tho first years, had In
dian pastors.
The lower Net Perce Indians,
in the Lapwal district, were
among tho most friendly of all
American tribes; most friendly to
tho whites. The upper Nea Perce
branch of that tribe, under Chief
Joseph the elder and Use younger.
were often hostile and tho
younger Chief Joseph led United
States soldiers one ot tho longest
campaigns in point of distance in
all tho annals of Indian warfare.
S
Chief Lawyer ot the iower Nea
Parce branch was upstanding in
scholarship and leadership in
friendly relations with tho whites.
One ot his grandsons was long a
pastor of the Lapwal church. Mlsa

granddaughter of the original
Chief Lawyer, is a member of the
present class of Willamette un

I ON PROGRAMS
AUAUsVILLE, Feb. A
most enjoyable program waa pre
sented by the 8alem Zonta dub
under the auspices of the Salem
chamber of commerce, at the
Community club meeting held at
the school house Tuesday night.
A short business meeting pre
ceded the program. It was voted
to cooperate with the Parent and
Teachers' association to provide
some entertainment for the chil
dren and young people of the
community. It was also decided
that the men should give the
March program and the women
the April program. Five judges,
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Porter, A. A.
Nlccolson, Mrs. Cornelia E.
George and Theodore Hlghberger,
were appointed to see ,which
gives the better program. The
losers will entertain with a par
ty. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Carlson
were appointed as chairman of a
committee on civic Improvement.
Tho program consisted of six
numbers by pupils from the Bar
bara Barnes school of dancing.
Psuline Chambers, Marian Coo
ley, Jean Adams, Audrey Fehler
and Eugene Sewell.
Dr. J. Vinton Scott who with
his wife went to China in 1919
and lived there until recently,
showed some wonderful pictures
of China. He also showed pictures
taken while the actual fighting
was going on in Shanghai. Mrs.
Scott also gave an interesting
nt8toncai review and told some
of the private life of the Empress
of China with whom she was a
personal friend. She was dressed
in full Chinese costume.
The largest crowd of the year
was present at this meeting.

shown into the rector's study. Flem

hobbies, and a friend might find
him at work at his carpenter's
bench, ankle-deep in shavings, or
forking potatoes in his vegetable
garden, or busy making trout flies
with his biff, but dexterous fingers.
His study was a long, low, pleasant
room, its big French window, look-

wall, each with its glimpse of sleek
eras, flower borders piled high
with colour, grey old walls, and
sDlendid trees. Pleasant disorder

Tho book-ahelTe. held not only
books, but collectors boxes, cork

order prevailed also over the rec-

ioguea, bills, circulars, pamphlets.
fir-books, odd knives, and pipes lay
as they pleased. The carpet, that
had been worn to no colour in par-

of the floor.
It was the room of a man who
led a large, pleasant, placid life, a
man who read on dooks, preacneo
his old sermons, and was an expert
in the matter of wild life and of
