TiunwiiAY, U. 2, 1880.
Wo quota this week from llradstl eel's of
Nov. Ill, whioh sums up tho situation of tho
whole world nn tho wheat supply, ami con
cludes that tho margin of 27,000,000 bu.hcU
is too amall a prolialiln surplus to permit tho
price of hrcaditull'a to decline. It is a valua
ble paper upon n most important subject, and
tho authority is so high that it is worthy of
nit collaboration. It places tho product of
tho Pacillo Coast 1, 500,000 bushel almve for
liur eatimatva, becaimo tho lint did not in
clude Washlngtou Territory. It looks as if
tho wheat market might sustain gradual im
provement thiough the. harvest year. Com
parison w ith IH7H shows that at this time Liv
erpool quotations were nlwut as they aru now,
but tho diU'cit'iico ill tonnage works a vtty
great hardship ai;ainit u,
Tho tonnage question remains in atslit quo;
mi ships ill port to speak of, and heights aro
master of tho situation, Wo havo no potsiblo
-remedy but to hold all the wheat wo can and
prevent pivasurc to shuvu freights up still
higher. Tho hope that freight ma)' tvoedo
lata in tlio season is icusoimUf, Ttnd wo have
no especial eausu to tear any decline, but
Vather some, advance, in the price abroad, so
we repeat tliut It la rvaauiuwy ssio 10 nom,
much safer than to push millions of bushels of
whet into nuikft under present eircunntan
ct. Of course it is not poiblo for all men
to hold through the hole season.
Wo owe a conection to lmr. Sibson .t
Church for tho statement that tho whest thsjr
puivhaed Uit week of Mr. llawley (4,IHX
tons), was hardly equal to Caliloruia No, !,
for it nhouhl have Uen stat.nl as almost equal
to ('aliforuit Nu, 2, as it i iciniuUbly clean,
and the grains, though small, are not Iwdly
shriveled, and millers inform us that it giinds
well. Wo wcro anxious to encourage tho
wheat gnmoi of the upper oountiy, whoaio
littlo out of their usual luck this year, and
... ..I., imniiiiii n( thu sale ith that nuriHwe in
view.
Wool is lii in at a good advance on October
prices, justifying our iiiiuUut assurance that
it would regain its price later in the scwon
when manufacturers would have to lay in full
stinks, hi thl nutter of ltli wind and
wheat tho result has sustained tho lotion
taken by tho Fa u Mutt that improvement
could In) expected. Our friends through tho
country aro showing appreciation of our ell'orts
by sending ua encouraging woids and exprw
siou of cvnlideuce, which aro very welcome.
The plain and lonsiitcnt manner in which this
paper presents facts of Importance, to enahlo
the farmer to jitdgo what course to pursue, is
constantly gaining friends for us. Witli tho
facts all heforo thorn our readers can judge
with oonfidenco for themselves.
Latimt. Tho freight market is now praetl
cnlly ten shillings higher than In San Francis,
co. Thoro quotations of tonnage avcrago 72s
Od, and here fully 80s, at lait, and will go to
100s if farmers will sell enough wheat to stain
pedo tho market. The fact is that ships can
now allbrd to leave San Francisco and come
here for tho difference in freight. Oregon
wheat there to-day is fully worth 81 00 a cen
tal, againtl 05 for their "gilt-edged." There
Is no reason for a decline of good valley below
$ I ri2), as tho slight decline nhroad docs not
near equal tho recent rise, and tho market
hero has never yet rcspouded to that rise.
Fanners need more than ever to hold their
wheat In self-protection so far as they are ahlo
to do so.
Tuesday tho Orcgoni.in mado a mistake and
told the truth when it said buyers had organ
ized u hear movement to pull wheat down to
1 10 a cental. Its FlUKNIi-uosii showed it how
It had "slopped over," so It swallowed it liaek
on Wednesday, and Thursday it has nothing
to say, Wo quoto wheat nominal at 81 47J,
and assert that it snould ho considered as
merely nominal became farmers will not sell
nt that. Oooil nuthority stands with
us that cheaper freights are more certain in
January than cheaper wheat, Haln has ceas
ed after a light fall In California and It re
mains to bo seen how the season there will af
fect freights, Tho Immcnso fleet cominr to
this coast is all wo need, and the decline in
freights is only a question of weeks. Tho for
eiifii demand bids fair to stay linn all tho
season, and advance.
Iical markets temain unchanged except
that butter is higher priced.
Winter pears are In demand at fiOo to 7o

TARMERS AND WHEAT BUYERS.
Wo aro doing all wo can to insure a fair
diice for wlu.it mid tho fact is there is a clo
struggle between the wheat buyer and wheat
grow er. Rich is looking after his ow u inter
cat, Wa aro on tho side of the farmers, but
Wausowe in a measure oppose those who
aro buying wheat wo do not necessarily con
demn. Ist year they lost money, and they
may lose again thi year, and they uaturuUy
w iah to make the best bargain they can, just
a tho fanner trade fur himself. Wo con
sider them all honorable dealer and there is
a strong competition among theiutclvni.
They aro not necessarily trying to rob tho
farmers because they want ti buy at a safe
price, nor are they to blame for getting all
they can for tonnage. Wo respect them
heartily but dout happen to 1 on their side
for nil that.
WILLAMETTE FAEMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, DECEMBER 3, 1880.
MEflQUITE ORA8S FOR PASTURE.
FonTiJlNU, Nov. 24, 1880.
Kditor Willamette Karmor:
In your last issuoof thoFATiMEti,(Nov.lOth)
a correspondent enquires what is the best kind
of grass to sow on timber and bmsh land to
get It Into pasturo?
I had quite, a quantity of such land burned
over the pait season and am using mesquito
grais for that purpose. Somo ten years ngo
when I was living at tho mouth of tho Colum
bia river, when business called me to diflcrcnt
parts of Clatsop county I noticed a certain
kind of gr.iM growing Itixuricntly in the
months of January and Febmary and was in
formed that it grew green all through the
Winter. I was impressed at the time that it
was valuable; the following season I had some
timber land slashed and burned over; procur
ed tho seed and had it sowed among the logs
and stumps in September. By December it
was up green as a meadow, and my sheep,
goats, and cows commenced feeding upon it
and I observed dally through the Winter that
it was a favorito feeding ground for all my
stock, and not only so through the Winter,
but during tho Spring nnd Summer Itcoiitinu
cd to bo their favorito feeding ground, when I
had patches of clover and timothy of frco
access to them comparatively untouched,
Tho following season was a very dry ono and
thejmesquito grass did not appear to suffer from
tho drouth till intoSeteinbcr, long after clover
tiinothyand were, nil dried up. Such is my ex
perience with it, nnd I consider it valuable for
such purposes and of course give it the prefer
ence, Respectfully yours, J. B, Kimpp.

Kditor Willamette Farmer)
As bread is called the stafTof life, it is the
utmost importance, to the farmer, that the
wheat from w hich most of our bread is mado
should bo of superior quality, as also tho best
kind to resist, drouth, rust, smut etc., tho
White Itussian Spring wheat, Is said to lie the
best in yield, and in quality, it seems nNo to
defy, rust, smut nnd drouth. Its yield is
enormous in some partsof ourunton or country,
A farmer by tho name of Oliver l'ortcr, near
Hock creek Clackamas county, raited this
harvest 22 bushels to tho aero on very poor
ground, where other kinds of wheat on tho
ssuio ground only yielded from (5 to S bunhcls,
to tho acre, K. Skcrvin, one of our most
prominent farmers at llutter Creek raised
over forty bushels to tho acre of thu White
Russian wheat, while his other kinds of wheat
yielded something over 20 bushels. K. Skirvin
thinks that on good rich ground well sown,
and well harrowed in it would yield from R)
to 00 bushels to tho aero,

to a small local allslr but ho sends nursery
stock to some of our mott remote counties.
Hu is justly entitled to the littlo of "old

Wo are glad to know that White's Itusiuess

and hw school is full. It speaks well for the
country when so good an institution is well

THIS YEAR'S WHEAT CROP.
Under this head, ISradstrcct's of Nov. 13,
gives a resume of tho wheat crop through tho
known world for the currcut year, and claims
that sufficient timo has elapsed since harvest
to enahlo a correct summary of products and
and to show plainly tho balances of surplus or
deficiency In eveiy county of thu known
world. This authority is so high in a com
mercial sense and so rellaHe, that wo follow
its details as fully as we are able, as it is re
ceived late in the week, too late to be set up
entire for our columns.
It claims that the report made by the
Washington Agricultural bureau of tho yield
of wheat on tho l'acific Coast, was an over es
timate of 11,171,800 bushels for 1870, proved
by export returns of the year, and sets the
total production of the present year for Cali
fomia, Oregon and Washington, at .TJ.fiOO.OOO
leaving a balance for export over broad and
seed of .10,000,000 bushels. After careful con
sideration, ho places the total of production
of wheat In the United States this year at
4n.pi,000,000 bushels, that the home demand
will consume 2tl.'i,000,000 bushels and leave
100,000,000 bushels for export. The final
summary derived from most trustworthy re
turns regarding surpluses and deficiencies of
all wheat producing nnd consuming countries,
gives tho following resultants! (Wo quote the
following entire without comment:)

It should bo noted that the out-turn of llrit
lli India, Chili, and Australia nrs as yet un
certain element in tho problem. The llrst
named country markets its surplus grain, sav,
next April, Chili in January, nnd Australia
aliout the end of January. Notwithstanding
tho general failure of the Itussian wheat crop,
that country Is included among exporting
countries. It has need to import grain, but
ryo and Indian corn will bo brought itj to sup
p'ly thu need, while wha.it will undoubtedly
lie exiortcd to a nominal extent say S,000,
000 bushels ae stated aliove.
Among tho countries requiring to Import
wheat, tho deficiency in France is put down
at 42,000,000 bushels. This is the final esti
mate of the Ilulletindes Halles of Oct. 21,
and must bo regarded as trustworthy. The
average annual wheat consumption of France
for the last live years ia given bv tho Bulletin
ties Halles at 10.1,21 1,1170 hectolitres, or 202,
440,710 bushels. The Imports for 1870 wcro
20.1111.2111 hectoliUes, or H2.4IHI.I(ill bushels.
The Importation required for the current year
shows n marked fallini; off. For tho last six
years the average annual wheat product of
thu United Kingdom has been ,.'l,.'ViO,000
bushels; tho avcrago annual importation has
I Ken 11,1,22'.000 bushels. Tim importation
of wheat last year amounted to 1.11,200,000
bushels. The estimate of 120,000,000 bushels
for tho wheat importation of Great Britain
during tho current year is liorne out by tho
ollicial returns of the British Hoard of Trade.
Inordinary ycirs Germany imports net 12,
000,000 bushels wheat. This year the ryo
crop of the Kmpire, wnlch constitutes so largo
a proportion of tho food of the German people,
is somo .1,000,000 tons, 118,000,000 bushels,
short. Kven two-thirds of this would amount
to 78,000,000 bushels. It Is not to be sup
posed that this deficiency will be largely made
up by Importing wheat. The supply will
come from the surplus rye crops of neighbor
ing countiicsand from Indian corn, which
are cheaper than wheat. Austro-Hungary,
France, llelgium and Holland, all have good
ryo crops. In the light of all tho facts, wo
estimate the probable importation of wheat
Into tho German F.mpireat 20,000,000 bushels.
Tho Apparent surplus of wheat over tho
wmld's need is so small that, couriering tho
probability of consumption at homo and
abroad increasing rather than decreasing,
there is no good reason to count on declining
prices. Tim shortness of tho Indian corn
crop in tho United States will havo somo ef
fect iu sustaining tho price of wheat. Again
it ia not possiblo for prices to decline materi
ally without speedily increasing tho demand,
wliich In turn v. ill react in tho direction of
highar prices. Having regard to oil the fac
tors entering into the present wheat situation
it is concluded that n continuance of fair pri-
eea for wheat is Instilled. Tho apparent sur
plus of 27,000,000 luislicla In tlio worm's wheat
product is not so large as to justify fears of
very low prices, i uere is nine moro, ii any,
than ciimitfh wheat to supply present mn
prospective deficiencies, for tins year, at
least, the wheat producers ol tlio Unit
States bid fair to receive fairly remunerative!
prices for their creps.
