The Rise in Wheat. 
(CONTINUED.) 
Very little wheat has been grown in this county 
for the past 10 years. The few men who have 
been holding their wheat for two or three years, 
on account of low prices, sold this summer just 
before harvest; three men in this village did this, 
At the mill, yesterday, the miller said that he 
could not get wheat enough to keep grinding. 
So I can’t say that any farmer in this vicinity has 
profited at all by the advance in wheat. A good 
many have put in small pieces of wheat this fall, 
who have not grown any before for a number of 
years. J. t. m. 
Tolono, Ill. 
The higher price paid for wheat will not benefit 
me or any farmer in this township. There are 
now in the township four car-loads—3,200 bushels 
out of 10,000 bushels for 1896. None was sold at 
the increased price No money will come into this 
township on account of the increased price. In 
the years 1893, 1894 and 1895, it was too dry for 
any kind of crop. In 1896, rust very nearly de¬ 
stroyed wheat and oats, so that the failures of 
four years have made it impossible to hold wheat 
for any length of time. Corn this year will yield 
35 bushels per acre. a. g. m. 
Clyde, Kan. 
The country around here does not raise very 
much wheat, generally about enough to last 
through the season. Some have a small amount 
on hand, but not many, so no benefit will be felt 
by them, whether the price is high or low. I be¬ 
lieve that those who have any to sell have sold to 
the elevators. Take it altogether, the price of 
wheat will not benefit us much in this part of the 
country, if it does not last longer than it has 
done. Prices are going down again, and I am of 
the opinion that the price will soon be down to 
its old standard. C. h. b. 
Brainerd, Minn. 
The increased price of wheat will be of great 
benefit to the farmers of this vicinity. It is esti¬ 
mated by elevator tnen that the surplus crop in 
territory tributary to this station, would approxi¬ 
mate 100 car-loads. About 40 per cent of this was 
sold before the advance. About 20 per cent is 
still in the farmers’ hands, and the remaining 
40 per cent has been sold at an average advance 
of 10 cents per bushel. Estimating each car at 
500 bushels, the increase would amount to $2,000 
to farmers in this neighborhood, to say nothing 
of the increased value of the wheat still in their 
hands. R. u. D. 
Tobias, Neb. 
Our local grain dealer says that scarcely any 
wheat has been marketed since the rise in price. 
And he stated it, as a fact, that farmers never 
sell wheat when the price is going up. If the 
price holds up, we shall be benefited to that ex¬ 
tent, as there is, certainly, 75 per cent of the 
wheat in the hands of the farmers of this com¬ 
munity yet. The wheat through this section, in 
fact all through central Illinois, is of very poor 
quality, caused by continued wet weather in 
harvest. No spring wheat is raised here; about 
20 bushels per acre would be the average, of 
which a very small proportion would grade No. 
2, and quite a large share of the rest is fit only 
for stock. L. M. T. 
Fairview, Ill. 
A very large proportion of Chester County’s 
wheat crop has been sold; possibly, 33 per cent 
of that to spare remains in first hands. Farmers 
are constantly urged by speculators and their 
friends to sell their crops as quickly as harvested, 
till many of them have become converts. Now 
those who sold early are deploring their haste, 
as most of the wheat went out of their hands at 
from 51 to 60 cents; since then, it has ranged 
from 68 to 80 cents. Of course, much of the vast 
quantity of wheat reported sold was only on 
paper, and never existed. No man on earth has 
an approximate knowledge of our crops. The 
district reports are the merest guesswork. I hap¬ 
pen to know something about it. w. t. s. 
Chester County, Pa. 
Most of the farmers have sold their wheat— 
probably three-fourths sold previous to the 
rise. Those that have not sold expect to hold 
until spring. The wheat crop was damaged by 
wet fully one-fourth. Not much wheat is raised 
in this county. The most of it was sold at 40 and 
45 cents per bushel. I don’t think that the farmers 
will be benefited by the rise, for those that still 
hold their wheat are men that are able to hold as 
long as they please. A few, probably one-tenth, 
will have to sell by March 1, as that is interest 
and rent-paying day in this locality. Potatoes 
average 125 to 150 bushels per acre. A good many 
were raised; at present, there s no market for 
them here. Corn is 14 cents to-day; hogs $2.75 per 
100 pounds. h. w. b. 
Griswold, la. 
The current fluctuations in the wheat market 
affect the farmers of this section of country, as a 
whole, the same as they do other people. That is, 
our chief interest is one of wonder that flour 
should be so sensitive to advances in price of 
wheat, yet so unaffected by the alternating drops. 
Few farmers here raise enough wheat for their 
own use, and with most of those, it is rather “ a 
matter of principle ” than of profit. Until 1878, 
Winneshiek and adjoining counties were, practi¬ 
cally, a part of what was, at that time, “ the 
famous wheat country ” of southern Minnesota. 
In that year of the great failure, a large per¬ 
centage of the acreage did not return as much as 
the seed sown; and, for some years subsequently, 
there were so few good yields of wheat, that it 
speedily dropped to a position among the least 
important of crops. Temporary variations in 
the price of wheat are, therefore, of little direct 
interest, except as they affect our living expenses. 
With us, and I believe that it is applicable to the 
State as a whole, the problem of wheat raising is 
more one for scientific than present economical 
consideration. According to tradition, wheat 
yielded well generally until 1878 (when I came 
here). The poor yields that have been common 
since then, are, perhaps, one-fourth chargeable 
to chinch bugs, but mainly to rust and blight. 
The ultimate causes and possible remedies of 
these last factors are what need investigation. 
Soil exhaustion is out of the question, for there 
is nearly always a heavy growth of straw, and 
there are, at least, as many good yields on old 
fields as on virgin soil. w. H. w. 
Conover, la. 
The advance in wheat came too late to benefit 
us very much. Our wheat crop last season was 
as near a failure, both in yield and quality, as it 
has been for years, and farmers generally sold 
early, receiving from 45 to 48 cents per bushel. I 
find, from inquiry, that there are still in the hands 
of farmers in this township about 2,000 bushels. 
From other parts of the county, the same state of 
affairs exists. Some few sold, but I was able to 
find but a few. One farmer said that he ought to 
have sold but now wheat was up 10 or 12 eents. 
Corn is good and being gathered at a lively rate. 
Our hogs have been destroyed by the plague, leav¬ 
ing an extra supply of corn, which is worth 15 
cents per bushel. Oats, 10 cents; butter, 7; eggs,
