TO CHANGE THE CROPS.
seed That VIII Grow in Arid Regions Dis
trlbuted Free.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (SpeeiaD.-After a year
in Central Asia, Professor N. Z. Hansen,
OF the Horticultural Department Of the
South Dakota Agricultural College at
Brookings, Is distributing seeds gathered
IN the Orient to farmers of the semi-arid
regions OF the Northwest.
Professor Hansen's mission was under
taken at the request OF Secretary Wilson, Of
the United states Department OF Agricul-
ture. Climatic conditions in the country
visited by him are similar to those
throughout n large portion OF the Dakotas,
Montana, Wyoming and even Northern Ne
braska and Colorado. Though not entirely
without rainfall, the average annual pre-
cipitation is deficient, and the crop fall
ures all over the section are more frequent
than the years Of plenty.
Secretary Wilson inclined to the opinion
that this condition was due to the eultlva-
tion OF the wrong crops, and chose Profess
sor Hansen as m OF the best informed
men in the country on the subjecttt ITO In
yestigate the vegetation on the Russian
and Siberian steppes, whore agriculture
seems to have been more successfully car
ried on than In the northwestern portion
OF the United States.
The professors Investigations have
tended strongly to bear out Secretary
Wilson's contentious. Amongst the most
valuable seed secured were several varle-
ties of Russian Bronze grass.
