SWEDISH OAT GOOD PRODI 111
Experiment- nt Looal Station Prove
Swedish On to be Well Adapt
ed to Northwest Conditions.
The agricultural department has
recently issued a bulletin on the
Swedish select oat, which has become
quite popular in the northern part
of the country by reason of Its har
diness and other good qualities This
oat was Introduced into the United
States in ISOP. when 60 bushels was
. imported from Siberia. Last year the
yield of this variety in the United
States was 50,000,000 bushels.
Tho bulletin tells of trials of this
oat by the experiment stations and
farmers in the' northwest as follows:
"The Swedish select oat as grown
on the Washington agricultural ex
periment station at Pullman during
three seasons. In 1904 It yielded 86
bushels in comparison with 82.5 hu.
as the highest for any other variety
and an average of 61.3 bushels for
all other kinds. in 1905 it yielded
5.1 bushels, the same as the rage
for ill others, while it was exceeded
by one variety, the Sixty-day, which
yielded 84 bushels. The average yield
for the state during these years were
47.9 bushels in 903, 1.9 bushels in
TH' i ".nd 50 bushels in l 905. The re
suits reported by the farmers from
other portions of the state where the
climate Is drier were much more to
the credit of the Swedish oat.
"F. W. Boi inn. of Geneva, lowa,
has been a successful co-operator in
trials of different cereals received
from this department. His farm lies
along the. 1 Thomas fork of the Great
Bear river, in extreme southwestern
Idaho, at an elevation of 8000 feet,
On December 26, 1906, he wrote th.'
following statement: 'The Swedish
Select oats yielded 1988 pounds from
61 1-4 pounds of seed (corresponding
to at least 65 bushels an acre), all
nice, white and heavy grain.'
"Clark and llaughton of St. An
thony, tdoha, threshed 8000 bushels
of the Swedish Select in 1905, yield
ing 65 bushels an acre. Other oats
on similar soil and under similar
treatment yielded 45 bushels an acre
and weighed five pounds less a meas
ured bushel.
"P. D. Lewis grew the Swedish
Select oats two years at St. Anthony,
Idaho. In 1 906 a part of the crop
was Irrigated. A yield of 4.'! 1-2
bushels an acre was obtained on the
irrigated land, compared with 35 to
40 bushels produced by other varl
ties. Another unirrigated field of
nine acres of tic Swedish Select
yielded at the rate of 70 bushels an
act.', testing 40 pounds to the meas
ured bushel.
"In 1903 the average yield of the
Swedish Select oat grown by several
farmers at Blackfoot, Idaho, was 60
bushels an acre, as reported by
Professor H. T. French of the Idaho
agricultural experiment station."

FAIL TO CLAIM $4000 REWARD]
Insurance Combine Thwarted In Ills
Efforts to Discredit the Strong
est Mutual Company In West.
The efforts of the San Francisco
combine to oppose everything in
competition to it rem:, an Inter
esting story.
Their opposition has heen center
' ed on the Northwestern Mutual Fire
Association, which by carefully select
ing the most profitable classes of
risks, is making its policy-holders a
saving of almost half their Insurance
premiums and has built up greater
proportionate cash resources than
the strongest stock companies. This
has forced the combine, against, their
liking, to cut their rate on many
classes of preferred risks.
Conducts Campaign of Prejudice j
A (rigorous campaign of prejudice
has i.een conducted against the
Northwestern Mutual, and for this
purpose local Insurance agents rep
resenting companies belonging to the
combine have been used extensively.
Many of these local representatives,
who are honorable men. have helped
to circulate the misinformation plac
ed in their hands without, realizing
that there was no truth in the' reports
given them to circulate. Unsuspec
ting local newspapers have, also been
used to a considerable extent, with
out realizing that they we re doing
an injustice to their subscribers.
Among the most prominent false
statements are' the following four
statements:
First Thai all policies Issued by
the' Northwestern Mutual carry an
assessment liability,
Second —That the company not
having subscribed capital does not
furnish its policy-holders good in
demnity.
Third —that Mutual companies as
good as the Northwestern are continu
ally falling.
Fourth —That there are many
times as many failures of mutual
companies as of stock companies.
Reward Offered
The management of the North
western offered a reward of $1000
for proof of any one of these state
ments In the following order:
First —$1000 to any one who will
prove that our policies are not abso
lutely non-assessable.
Second — $1000 to any one who
will prove that this company has not
more actual cash resources in pro
portion to the amount needed to
carry all its policies to expiration than
the ten largest stock companies in
the United States, Including all their
subscribed capital and surplus as
based on the past nine years' experi
ence,
Third —$1000 to any one who will
show the failure of a single mutual !
fire Insurance company in all Ameri
can history after it, had reached the ]
age, size, strength and record of this
company.
Fourth $1000 to any one who
will prove thai tier., have not been
50 per cent more failures of stock
companies during the. past forty years
in proportion to the number doing
business than there have been fail
ures of mutual companies.
This offer was mailed during the
month of August to every insurance
office ami agent on the. Pacific Coast
so far as addresses could be obtained,
also the Coast Review, the leading
organ for the campaign. The presi
dents of the five largest banks in Se
attle were named as judges and time
was given to October Ist for proof
to lie filed, but no one filed any proof.
This would surely have been easy
money had there been any truth
whatever in their statements.
Concede All to Northwestern.
By failing to claim the rewards of
fered, the opposition has conceded.
First—That the policies of the
Northwestern are paid up and non
assessable.
Second—That these policies are
backed by more than the ten largest
stock companies in the United States.
Third—That of the more than two
thousand lire Insurance companies
that have failed in the United States
no mutual company ever failed after
having attained the si/.., strength and
record of the Northwestern.
Fourth— there have 1... 50
; per cent more failures in proportion
to number among stock companies
l than among mutual companies.
With such a showing of strength as
conceded by Its competitors, and with
its large cash dividends returned to
policy-holders, the property owner
whose property is up to the quired
standard of the Northwestern will
not be slow in choosing between this
company and the San Francisco cotn
| bine.
