New Varieties Of Wheat.

3 The government has taken up the
intro oduction from Hungary of new va
! rieties of Wheats that promise to great
1y benefit American wheat d growers.
Among these new varieties are the
Y ones that are especially useful in the
manufacture Of 1nacaroni, and fac
tories for the making Of macaroni have
already been estab blished in this coa1n-
try American wheats are yservicea
for bread and pastry making, but are
not no hard enough for the manufacture
+ OF macaroni. When plants are taken
from one country and cultivated in an
other,S nit frequ uently happens that the
character OF the plant undergoes a
change, sometimes for the worst; and
ut was feared that the macaroni Wheats
would deteriorate when grown on our
soil or at least would soften up. The
experiment, ], hoWeYer proved that they
would grow on American soil and re-
tain their eharacte terlstics. These
Wheats are winter Wheats but are SUI
peTior to the winter SWheats we are
now nov 53 growing and will grow over a
\ much - Y 3 larger area For the making Of
-four they are said to be full equal to
our best spring wheat The introdHc-.
tion of these varieties should greatly
stimulate our port Of wheat, as such
heat is in great demand In parts Of
Europe.

Eiue% Grasses IN Okla homa.

A communication from the Oklaho-
ma Il A Agriculture College says: Con-
siderable inquiry has been received at
the experiment station at Saltwater
this spring in regard to a native grass
that seems to be gaining foothold in
the territory. There are two forms
3of it.. One is called the Texas blue-
grass and the other the Smooth Texas
bluegrass. They are much like the
. Kentucky s bluegrass and are very.
closely related botanical " They are
. a little coarser than the Kentucky but
in form of head closely resemble it.
The Texas blue grass has a growth
like short wool in the head among
the grains while the Smooth Texas
bluegrass does not have it. Theta
is much like that Of kentucky blue
grass. IT seems to be relished by ali
sorts Of grass-eating animals. tt ap-
pears first in a bunch or two here

the fact thatsthe Danes make great use
