The demand for these grains, however, was rather dull and reductions in premiums mostly offset advance in the future prices. Corn and other feed grains were barely Bteady with offerings several points in excess of current trade rePrices worked slightly quirements. lower and market stocks increased with storage space some points becoming limited. The general wheat market is rather unsettled. The world market was somewhat weaker as result of a decline of about 2 cents in quotations at Liverpool where unfavorable crop reports were apparently offset by the influence of increased offerings of Argentine wheat Weather was moderated in Europe and more favorable crop prospects were reported in Spain and Italy. Russian collections were the smallest of the season, according to trade reports, and the supply of seed wheat for spring planting is deficient The world's visible supply of wheat and flour is estimated by the trade decreased nearly, 12 million bushels during January as compared with an increase of about 23 million bushels during January last season.

There was practically no change in foreign wheats at Liverpool; No. 3 Manitoba for February shipments being quoted at $1.48'4 to I1.63H, barrel wheat and Ausfrom Argentine at $1.33 tralian wheat for February shipment at 1.46. Wheat from U. S. Pacific coast ports was quoted at $1.4514. Domestic cash wheat markets did not follow the advance in the future markets and reductions in premiums mostly offset the advance in the futures. Receipts of hard winter wheat were fairly liberal and arrivals were of better quality than recently. Mills furnished the principal outlet since there was practically no export demand for this class of wheat. Takings were limited, however, and stock at Kansas City snowed some increase for the week. Prices were rather irregular but in general No. 2 hard winter wheat with 12 protein was quoted at Kansas City at 1 to 4 cents under the Kansas City May price of 2 2 cents under to 1 12 $1.24, at the cent over the May and 13 May price to 4 cents over. No. 2 hard winter with 13 protein was quoted at Omaha at $1 25, with demand fairly good for milling wheat. Prices were 1 to 2 cents lower at Wichita where mill demand was not at all urgent. Texas mills were bidding $1.33 to $1.34 per bushel for No. 1 hard red winter wheat with 13 protein delivered Texas common protein was bringing 4 points; 14 cents and 15 protein 8 cents over these quotations; No. 1 soft red mixed wheat was quoted delivered for export at the gulf at $1.34 to $1.35. Premiums for soft red winter wheat were the lowest in the crop; No. 2 red winter was quoted at St. Louis at only 9 cents over the May price. Mill demand was limited as most mills were buying low protein hard winter wheat which was quoted at 13 to 14 cents below prices of soft red winter, which was selling at St. Louis at $1.42 per bushel. For No. 2, compared with $1.27 to $1.28 for No. 2 hard winter, the market at Cincin nati was also dull for soft red winter with No. 2 red selling at $1.46 to $1.47; No. 2 soft red winter was quoted at Chicago at $1.47 and No. 3 red 1-- at $1.40y3. Spring wheat markets also were dull with mills indifferent buyers because of the slow domestic flour trade. Protein premiums were lowered 1 to 2 cents and at the close of the week. 12 protein No. 1 dark northern was quoted at the May price 8 to of $1.26 to 2 cents over; 17 to 22 cents over 12 cents and the May; No. 1 dark hard Montana wheat was quoted at Duluth at the Minneapolis May price to 18 cents over. The Winnipeg spring wheat market followed the full advance of the futures and No. 1 Manitoba northern was quoted February 21 at $1.31 per bushel. The Durum wheat market was also easier with premiums on the less desirable types reduced 3 to 5 cents; No. 1 amber or No. 1 mixed 12 protein was quoted at Minne apolis at the Duluth May price of to 20 cents over; No. 1 am$1.11 ber at Duluth was bringing from 1 to 25 cents over the May price at that market, with No. 1 red selling at 6 to 7 cents under the May. Pacific coast markets were more active. Oregon farmers were selling more freely but heavy snow was retarding movement irom the interior to Portland. Two and a half cargoes and several parcels were reported sold to Europe during the week while wheat was quoted at Portland at $1.24 to $1.25 and hard winter at $1.20 per bushel. Offerings of wheat were light at San Francisco and there was a fair demand from mills for high protein wheat; No. 1 hard white wheat was quoted in that market at $2.15 per 100 or $1.29 per bushel and No. 1 soft western white at $2.10 per 100 or $1.26 per bushel. The demand for white at Los Angeles was rather slow. Utah and Idaho hard winter wheat in bulk was quoted in that market at $2.15 per 100 or $1.29 per bushel and No. 2 California Sonora, sacked, at $2.17 per 100 or $1.30 per bushel. An improved flour demand increased milling activity at Denver but country deliveries were slowed up by the poor condition of the roads, a result of heavy snows; No. 2 hard winter was quoted in that market at 98 cents to $1.03, No. 2 northern spring at 97 cents to $1.02 and No. 2 soft white at $1.08 to $1.16 per bushel.

GIVEN WARNING 8, ' This winter, on account of the deep snow, the rabbits have come down from the hills and are doing considerable damage to the orchardists as well as consuming considerable hay, where the farmers have not used drastic measures for their destruction. Up to the present time, we have distributed several hundred ounces of strychnine which has produced very good results. In several localities dead carcasses have been picked up by the sleigh load. While there have been some trees destroyed, yet I don't believe the damage amounts to as much as is largely reported by some. I am willing to. use every effort to help the farmers out, and ready at all times to help mix the poison where necessary. But will kindly ask those whom I let have poison that they be as economical as possible that we might obtain the best results. Coming back to the orchards, we must protect our trees, as it is hard to place the value on a good healthy tree that is producing good fruit. I feel, while I am speaking along these lines, that I sho uld mention, once more, the necessity of carefully seThis spring's lecting our trees. planting, no doubt, will commence within the next thirty days or so, and let's be careful that we plant something that we know will be the best for the market. In the cherry varieties, there is no question but what the Bing and the Lambert are the best, as the price is always good on account of the demand for this excellent fruit. Let us keep as far away from the Windsors, Black Republican, and Tartarians as we con, we have too many of that variety at the present time. While I appreciate the fact that the Tartarian is a splendid tree to have in the orchard for polonizing purposes, yet the other varieties, such as Windsors and Black Republicans, are located, I find, with the two varieties I have mentioned, viz.: Bings and Lamberts, and produce fairly good crops without having as many as ten per cent of the Tartarians The Tartarian comes on planted. ahead of the other varieties, but is no shipper and has, in a great many cases, I believe, injured our market and given us a bad name. Located as we are, and having as many varieties of cherries as we have in this county, I would not "advise planting too many Tartarians, unless your orchard is isolated from any other orchard, which is not the case. I am giving this precaution to prevent some from getting too many fruit trees in their orchards which will not bring the cash returns, and that is what we are after. I also wish to call your attention to the state law relative to dead trees, of all varieties, being a menace to the orchards, and should be destroyed on general principles: A man's ground is not only being wasted, occupying space by such trees, but also the damage he does to his neighbor. I hope that the spirit of "clean up" is as general this spring as it was last, for you could travel the highway Brigham City to Provo and find that most everybody had cleaned up their premises, and destroyed these "hot beds" for pests. For when a tree gets old, and its vitality practically gone, pests work on and hibernate in just such places, and are doing millions of dollars worth of damage each year to the growers. Good trimming produces good fruit; and I would suggest that not only all of the dead wood be taken out of the trees but also the tops be cut back and the suckers taken out of the center of the tree to give the sun and a,ir circulation to do their part in coloring and producing the very best of fruit. Not only is it necessary to trim, but also to burn up all limbs, for the limbs will be just as injurious lying in the orchard as they would not cut off at all. It is necessary at this time to begin to think of spraying, as well as of the material we expect to use for a dormant spray. The lime sulphur, in the liquid form, has always been considered very efficient; there are also several oils on the market today which have been very beneficial, not only for San Jose scale, but possibly for some other pests which harbor on and around the trees. I wish everyone who has a sprayer would get it in condition and be ready to start at the proper time, because even one day means a great deal of difference in this particular work. We have two county sprayers in the valley, and a sufficient number of private sprayers on the east side to take care of the situation if the people will use them at the right time. So I hope I will not be obliged to compel anybody, by law, to live up to the requirements of not only destroying their infested trees or by spraying for the disastrous pests, especially the San Jose scale. I am willing to cooperate and spend the time that is necessary in assisting the orchardists along this line and will be glad to give them all the help I can. I expect to be very stringent on nursery stook, and not let the distributors put onto the market diseased or bad trees. I have no particular favorites for any nurserymen; all I ask is that they deliver what they agree to and not try to put over inferior trees, that will, in after years, be a menace to the community as well as a dead loss to the individuals.
