discount on smuttywheat by citing the discount prevailing inMinneapolw.ol but 2 eenti a bushel. Let more ul you a letter, giving smutty wheat discount, from the Northwest Consolidated MillingCompany, ofMinneapotia. It swh- 'Itwould reqaire doonaga from two to three|. mnda for w,i«hniK l>^dly smutty wheat, andwheat not very ba.l would require about onepound for scouring,

"With inch proof of the rih'ht of the farmer*.,attitude m refaai g to allow the combinemore than 4 I nti discount twice what Min-neapolis would make they can path theircar^o-coinbines to a winning, sum. Do youknow-what tbat would mean to tho farmer*la dollars and cents?

state inwpaetinn department Dgnrea that''JO perceutof that crop i« .s;nutty-th;»t would give«».400.t .Jbuihels of smutty wheat. The com-bine's discount is, at said, sto 20 cents. Callit an average of 7 cents. At 4 cents therewould be a laving of :< cents a bushel, and ofiltti.OOO on this one crop.

"The sa\ing thijse decisions make directlyfor the farmer, without necisußitatiriK any sub-se<iurtnt effort by him, when it refusal toclassify r,B, .r )Biand SB| tent wheat an No. 2, Ifigure at $160,C00 for this year alone. Figur-inK that one-<|iiartor of the wtiole crop wouldtest, on an average, from fifty-eight to tifty-e%ht and three-qoarten, and the price differ-ence is 2 cents a bushel between No. 1 and No.2 grade s.

"Then there is a profit poasible—indeed,probable, to come on heavier testing wheat,the sixty, sixty-one, sixty-two and sixty-threepound wheat, which is now confiscated at aNo. 1 price. The commission')) decisionsshowed tbat sixty pound test wheat wasworth m .re than a fifty-eight or fifty-ninep.uiid test. It showed this by that admis-sion of the Portland Chamber of Commercecommittee, and by the extract on prices fromthe millers' a <ociation secret compact.

"San Franc" oo is paying more for sixtypound test wheat than for a fifty-eight poundtest. San Francisco needs from Washington,Orego'i and Idaho thi-i year 10,000,00 bushelsof heavy testing wheat.

Offer it to San Francisco"Let the farmers' combine offer their heavy

test wheat to San Francisco buyers. Theywon't have to make many such offers. Themallers-exportera' combine will promptly cometo time, and pay the additional price thatheavy testing wheat is worth. The farmer inentitled to it—let him net his own. He canwin jmt as sure aa 1 did when I introducedbluestem wheat in thin state. The originalseed came from Australia. Dement Brothersbrought it to Walla Walla. Isowe 1 ftV) acresin it and advertised the crop for seed. Sold itall for peed hut one car load, which I refusedto sell because all the millers and exporterssaid it was worth no more than club.

''I sent my reserve car to the Sperry Bros.MillingCompany at San Francisco, and theywrote me: 'Our price now. and hereafter, forsuch wheat is 5 cents a hundred pounds overthe price of No. 1 California shipping.' Thatwas 3 c-nt.i a 1umbel over club price. I pub-lished that letter, and from that date, eighteenyears agr>, to thin blue^tem wheat has broughtthat premium over club everywhere fromeverybody. That one piece of worn of minemade the farmers of this state, in this yearalone, $240,000. Don't you see the applica-tion? ItV directly to the point. It, by dem-onstration, make* plain that if the farmers'combines find one buyer wh.) will pay morethan the millers-exporter*' combine they haveth^n and there started the disintegration otthat combine.
