LINK'S BUSINESS COLLEGE .. ., DAMAGE TO WHEAT SENDS PRICES UP Reports of Hail, Black Rust and Blight Cause of Sudden Advance. SPRING CROP BADLY AfFECTED Most Damage in North Dakota, Min nesota and Manitoba Orders Cancelled by Merchants. Chicago Hail, black rust and blight damage to the spring wheat crop of the Northwest caused an advance of 4 cents a bushel on the Chicago board of trade Saturday. A 6-cent advance was scored Thursday. At the high record prices were 33 cents higher than the low point in June. September closed at $1.34). December at $1,381, and May at $1.43. Reports reached the trade that in some sections of North Dakota and Southern Manitoba the crop had been ruined by hail Wednesday night and Thursday. Several large insurance companies with headquarters in Chi cago received messages saying that the crop was a total loss. Most of the hail damage was in the northern part of North Dakota. The crop in Bottineau county is ruined, Mercantile companies in that section have cancelled all orders for future de livery. Even order for Buch necessi ties as shoes and stoves have been cancelled. Ordinarily a 33-cent advance in the price of wheat in a little more than a month brings fortunes to many of the big operators on the board of trade. That has not been true during the present rise. Nearly all of the big lo cal trader have been righting the mar ket, or rather fighting the damage re ports, and prices have gone up without their aid. Even the Northwest, where the damage was taking place, was a seller of wheat in this market until a few days ago. That caused the belief that the damage report were exaggerated by the market bulla. Some of the board' exporter have made large winning, and a coterie of Wall-street grain men, who are said to have large holding of wheat under $1.20 a bushel, are credited with prof it of around $2,000,000. The disaster in the Northwest ha proved a blessing to the winter wheat growers. Thirty day ago they were able to get only $1 a bushel for their grain. Now the price is a third higher.

The first act of Congress relating to forestry was an appropriation of $200,000, passed in 1799 for the pur pose of acquiring timber for. naval construction. Under this appropria tion the government established re serves containing live oak as the best timber for shipbuilding. The turpentine Industry of southern France is a man-made Industry. Out of shifting, barren sand dunes and a malaria, poverty-stricken region, the French government, through reclama tion and planting of maritime pine, has made one of the most prosperous and salubrious sections of France. A century ago the barren sand dunes of southern France could be bought at any price. Today this barren land within the reclaimed area is worth at the lowest $2.50 per acre, while the best brings as high as $24.00 per acre. The amount of standing hardwood timber in this country has been var iously estimated at from 400 to 500 billion feet. About 340 billion of this is in the southern states. Volunteer fire fighters, when need ed, are summoned to the aid of the forest rangers by the blowing of a certain signal on steam whistles in many towns in or near national for ests in southern California.
