wheats means an impetus to practically
new industry in this country. AS these
Wheats are especially adapted for the
manufacture of macaroni, they will be
grown on a large scale, and thus supply
the great demand for this cereal, which
Is now imported for manufacture in this
country. While this wheat is especially
for the making Of macaroni, It is quite
generally used in Russia for bread
making as we'll. When mixed with 20
per cent of ordinary winter wheats 1t
makes an excellent quality for bread.
Another great advantage these wheats
have is that they are very resistant to
our ordinary wheat rust.
WINTER WHEAT FURTHER NORTH.
1.-THE red hard-grained winter wheats
introduced from Russia by the oepart-
ment are for bread flour The distinct
purpose of securing these wheats is to
give the people of ATTITUDES such as Iowa,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota anu
South Dakota chance to grow winter
wheats. The varieties have peeh !lllpo1 ~

drv cold climate of the states just men

winter wheat-growing has seemed m
possible, the ground is generally very
dry and the winds drive dust away from
the roots of the plants, thereby klllng
them. These varieties introduced VIII

'"These red winter wheats are very

KANSAS TURKEY WHEAT.
For about twenty years or more Kan j1

that the Wheats they have been growing
out there are running out or deteriordl-

wheat from, an inferior soil and d1fere9 a

There ought to be constant exchanges OF
seed.
"Therefore the fact that these Kansas
farmers are sending to Crimea FOR lot
more of wheat doesn't mean that 1 they
cannot raise good wheat there; They
don't have to do that any more than any
other state, but simply realize the ad-
vantage of importing fresh seed. They
are probably getting their seed from the

is different from the section where their
former supply was secured. Another
thing, the wheat they are getting will
