FIXED PRICE ASKED
Wheat Farmers of Northwest Ask $2.50
Per Bushel be Named by Gov-
emir ent Wheat Committee.
Spokane— A telegram urging that
$2.50 be fixed as the minimum price
for the 1917 wheat crop to the farmer
at primary markets was sent to C. S.
Barrett, national president of the
Farmers’ Union and a member of the
government wheat committee, Wed­
nesday, by 125 representatives of
farmers' unions of Washington, Idaho
and Oregon, meeting here.
It was
urged that low yields, increased cost
of production and the cost of reseeding
justified that price, which it was de­
clared would entail no increase in the
price of flour, as this now is figured on
the basis of $2.50 wheat. The yield
generally over the three states will be
40 to 50 per cent of normal, it was re­
ported.
About 75 per cent of the wheat crop
and 100 co-operative warehouses were
represented by those in attendance, it
was said. A. V. Swift, of Baker,
Ore., national vice president of the
Farmers' Union, presided.
Prepare for Fall Fishing.
Kelso — Cowlitz county fishermen
have about given up hopes of any
heavy run of salmon during the spring
fishing season which closes August
25th, and many of them have ceased
fishing and are getting their gear in
shape for the fall season starting Sep­
tember 10. The big run of fish, which
is now at the mouth of the Columbia
river, has held off so late that there
should be an abundance of fish in the
streams after the opening of the fall
season. Catches have been light for
the past few months, although some of
the fishermen have had an average
season.

Grasshoppers Attack Farm.
Kelso—County Agent Lynn C. Keyes
was called to the W. A. Burdick place
on Mount Crawford ore day this week
by reports of a large number of grass­
hoppers which were devastating the
fields there. Residents of that district
say that there is always an abundance
of grasshoppers on the logged-over
lands there, but this is the first time
they have invaded the cultivated fields.
Mr. Keyes advised them of methods to
combat the pests. He ascribes the at­
tacks of the grasshoppers in such num­
bers this year to the unusually dry
season.
Potatoes for American Lake.
Seattle—The first big food contract
for the American Lake cantonment
was awarded in Seattle when the gov­
ernment placed an order for 3,000,000
pounds of potatoes with commission
merchants.
It is understood that the
early deliveries are to be made at the
rate of $40 a ton, later deliveries at
$36 a ton, and so on, dropping down to
$25 a ton for late deliveries. The fig­
ures are considered of the highest im­
portance to the farmers of the state,
giving the first hint on potato quota­
tions for the coming winter.
