DECIDEDLY BETTER
SUCH IS THE PRESENT TONE OF
THE WHEXT MARKET.
Farmer Who Held On to Their Wheat
Have an Opportunity to Profit by
the Better Price Prevailing Con
elusion on 8m at in Grain.
The wheat market appears to be
steadily improving and is relatively
higher than the price in Chicago and
Liverpool would warrant, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. As wheat
started in last fall as low as thirty
cents the rise of twenty cents and up
wards is remarkably and deoidedly en
couraging to wheat growers. It is to
be regretted that so many farmers
found it imperatively necessary to dis
pose of their wheat when the prioe
hardly paid the oost of raising. Only
a few of our most prosperous farmers
have held on to their wheat, and now
have an opportunity to profit by the
better prices prevailing.
Farmer Expect Higher Price.
Apropos of the present boom, the
Oregonian states that wheat goes up at
local markets because farmers are hold
ing on in expectation of higher prices,
and, as charters must be filled, buyers
must pay what is necessary to fill their
orders. There is a possibility of bene
fit in this to the farmers, if the result
is not the carrying over pf too great a
surplus here and elsewhere, so as to
break the market down in the spring.
Our farmers are in mush better posi
tion to hold their wheat than they were
prior to 1893, thanks to the economical
teachings of hard times. The science
of farming is incomplete without a
knowledge of market conditions, and
its practice is at a disadvantage unless
the farmer is prepared to act upon this
knowledge. Wheat exemplifies this.
So, also, in ah eminent degree, does
fruitgrowing.
Had the improvement oome earlier
in the season, before so much of the
grain had passed out of the growers'
hands, the benefits would have been
greater, but, even at this late date, a
fair proportion of the crop is in first
hands. While in the Eastern Oregon
distriot about Pendleton the wheat is
well cleaned up, there is said to be
much grain remaining in the Palouse
oountry, the great wheat-growing re
gion of Washington.
The oause of the present flurry has
been shown to be the crop failure in
Australia, which has opened up a new
market for the Pacific ooast; not, as
some may believe, the European war
scare. All the talk of probable hostil
ities has thus far failed to exoite the
great wheat markets of the world.
War scares have been used too often by
wheat-pit manipulators to have any
further value in this connection. Were
it known to a certainty that war was
ooming, things Would be different .
Smut in Grain.
, The Montana experiment station
sends out the following conclusions on
smut in ' grains: Stinking smut at
tacks wheat only. Loose smuts at
tack all of the small grains, but that
of the oat is the most damaging.
Clean seed, or that effectually treated
for smut, will produoe a orop free from
smut, but an adjoining smutty field
may oontaminate this grain for next
year's crop. The only safeguard is
careful treatment before planting. The
disease in wheat may be entirely pre
vented by thoroughly wetting the seed
in a solution of oopper sulphate, using
eight ounces to a .gallon of water, but
this will lessen in some degree the vi
tality of the seed. It may also be ef
fectually prevented, without any dam
age, by immersion for fifteen minutes
in water raised to a temperature of 181
to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Oat smut
may be completely prevented by treat
ing the seed fifteen minutes in water
raised to a temperature of 132 to 135
degrees Fahrenheit This treatment
not only removes the smut but pro
motes the growth and increses the y ield.
It may also be prevented without in
jury to the vitality, by immersing the
feed twenty-four hours in a solution of
potassium sulphide, made by dissolv
ing one pound of the sulphide in twenty-four
gallons of - water. The oopper
sulphate treatment, used for wheat,
will effeotually kill the 'smut in oats,
but will in some degree damage the
germinating power of the grain.
Experience is teaching that the small
farmer who grows fruit and berries,
a little hay and grain and keeps a cow
and a few sheep and hogs is not com
plaining like his big neighbor of hard
times, low prices and a short crop.
The small farm, well tilled, is a suc
cess in all parts of the country.
Let a neighborhood of farmers burn
over their wheat stubble in such sea
sons as that pest, the Hessian fly, is
most troublesome. Then sow some
quickly growing orpp, and plow under
in the fall. One field not burned will
harbor enough flies to supply afresh a
whole township.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS.
Routine Work of the Fifty-Fourth Ses
sionSenate. Washington, Jan. 81. The presen
tation of the committee reports on
Cuba, and a highly dramatio and sen
sational speech by Tillman, the senator
from South Carolina, furnished two
stirring events inj the, senate today.
The majority resolution on Cuba asks
the president to urge Spain to grant
belligerent rights to the insurgents,
while the minority report directs the
president to take stops toward securing
from Spain the complete independence
of Cuba. Both resolutions went to the
senate calendar. ' Stewart, from the
committee on olaims, today made a
favorable report to the senate on the
bill making an appropriation to reim
burse California, Oregon and Nevada
for expenditures made in the eqipment
of troops during the war.
Washington, Feb. 1. Senators were
late in arriving at tin senate chamber
today. Hale reported back the urgent
deficiency -appropriation bill and gave
notice that he would ask to take it up
Monday. Morrill oalled up the bill
for the payment to the widow of the
late Samuel F. Miller, c justice of the
supreme court, of a sum equal to the
balanoe of his salary for the year in
which he died. Morrill explained that
the justioe had left only a house, en-
oumbered by a $10,000 mortgage, and
that the widow's circumstances were
suoh as to make the appropriation de
sirable. The bill was passed. The
resolution direoting the secretray of
agrioulture to exeoute the law relative
to seed distribution was then taken up,
and George spoke in defense of the
oourse of the seoretary, Gallinger
and Allen supported the resolution.
The resolution gave way at 2 o'clock to
the sulver bond bill, and Call continued
his speech begun yesterday. Mitchell
of Oregon followed in support of the :
silver question substitute, consuming
the resPof the day.

Washington,' Jan. 30. The session
of the house was brief today. Con- '
trary to general expectations, the diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill
precipitated no discussion whatever.
None of the foreign complications were
even mentioned, and the bill was passed
in less than an hour. The appropria-
tions carried bf the bill - are about .
$100,000 in excess of those appropriated -
for the ourrent fiscal year. Represent
ative Hermann's bill pensioning the
survivors of Indian wars up to and in
cluding the year 1856 has, been favor
ably reported to the house. Represent
ative Dingley, of the ways and means
oommittee, today reported a bill to re
organize the customs collection district
of Alaska. The bill is recommended
by the treasury department, as neoes
sary to proteot the revenue and facili
tate the commercial interests of Alaska.
Hermann's bill for a 'life-saving sta
tion at the mouth of the Siuslaw river
has been reported favorably in the
house. -- ' -''
Washington, Jan. 81. The proceed
ings of the house opened with a scram
ble for oondemned cannon. Brewster
asked unanimous oonsent to pass a bill
for the donation of condemned cannon
to Grand Army posts at Rochester and -Lookport,
N. Y. Piokler asked if
there woujd be enough cannon to go
around all the posts. "If all are as
worthy as these posts, are," replied
Brewster, "I think we can afford to
manufacture condemned cannon for the
Grand Atmy posts of the country.
After considerable discussion the bill,
with its amendments, was referred to
the oommittee on naval affairs. Baker
today introduced in the house an
amendment to the silver bill now be
fore the senate, providing that any
person who takes silver or gold to the
mint to be coined shall take an equally
valuable amount of the other metal
and have both coined. The amend
ment sets forth that the purpose is to
seoure the parity of the two metals.
Bartlett has introduced in the house a
joint resolution, authorizing the con
struction of six new battleships, to
oost not more than $3,300,000 each."
Washington, Feb. 1. The attend
ance in the nouse was sum toaay.
Wadsworth from the committee on
agrioulture, reported the agriclutural
appropriation bill. On motion of Doo
little, a resolution was adopted request
ing the president at his earliest conve
nience, to transmit to oongress the re
port of the board of engineers on the
Nicaragua canal. The bill to amend
the dependent pensions act of 1890, so
that in considering widows' claims
seven years of unexpected absence
should be deemed sufficient proof of the
death of the soldier, was passed.: A
bill was passed for the reorganization
of the customs collection district of
