Of Mr.. c. F. Wollard. attorney for the es-
tate Of the late Samuel Kirby for the re-
fund of general taxes for the year 1874
against parts of lots Q and 10, square 40s,
Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the attorney for the Dis
trict. has advised the Commissioners that
he adheres to his decision of September IA
1900. In this decision Mr.. Duvaii recon-
mended adverse action upon Mr.. wolard's
application.
The OCCASION" explains Mr.. Duvall, "or
the re-reference is the applicants sugges-
tion that four similar claims have been
paid by the District long after the death of
the persons who were entitled to relief

approved January g. 1873 and that In
neither OF said cases did the District inter-
pose the statute of limitations.

bushels an acre. The general
average in those tests was twenty
two and one-half bushels an acre,
an increase of seven and one-haf-
bushels an acre over the custom
ary average. The most vigorous
of the four varieties OF wheat main
tanned an average OF twenty-four
and one-tenth bushels an acre dur
ing a trial period of about ten
years. The tests were not con-
fined to one locality; some was
sown in different parts Of Mime
sofa, while some was sown in
several localities in the State of
North Dakota. On the strength
! of the favorable results of the
experiments scientists are inclined
to believe that, with proper care
and by carefully observing prin-
ciples in fe1tilizing the soil, rotat-
ing the crops and selecting wheat
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-11-22

believed that by rational cultvai-
ton the yield can be increased
even more than five bushels an
acre The wheat production of
the United States would thus be
increased over $50, 100000 bushels
a year, equivalent to about $780,
100000. From a single grain of
wheat, produced by Cross breeding
in 1892, enough seed accumulated
through successive harvests to
supply planting seed for five
acre tract of land in 1898. The
field yielded a fine harvest of
excellent wheat, the quality of
which far surpassed all expecta-
tions. During the period in
which the cross breeding opera
tions were carried on the wheat
plants were treated with the great
est care. The seeds are planted
by hand, one by one, and are we'll
protected from injurious infuen-
ces. During the period of their
development the plants are
watched and submitted to frequent
inspections. All weak and I'M
promising plants are removed and
only the best and strongest heads
are harvested. The new wheat is
subjected to a series of tests to
determine its weight, its size and
it's chemical combination. Only
wheat that has the right color,
right specific weight and contains
the required amount of nourish-
ment is used for the next plant
ing. Although great care is taken
in selecting the best material for
cross breeding, the scientists con-
Quoting the experiments endeavor,
as much as possible, to keep the
new wheat plants under normal
conditions. This is important,
because the new wheat lie destined
to be used on farms in different
parts Of the country, where it will
be surrounded by the same natural
conditions which surround other
wheat. Some of the wheat pro-
duced has yielded forty-two
I bushels an acre. In the course Of
ten trials made with four different
lots Of new wheat during a period
Of about eight years the yield in
some cases reached thirty-fve
bushels an acre, and even under

stances it never fell as low as the
