THE ADAPTATION AND IMPROVE
MENT OF WINTER WHEAT.

Experiment Station
The present northern limit of winter
wheat production in the trans Missouri
region lies in the state of Nebraska,
thus limiting the output to a portion
only Of the arabic land in the state
The spring wheat region protruding
south from the Dakotas overlaps the
winter wheat region to some extent
and thus winter wheat and spring
wheat are raised side by side.
The chief condition that discourages
winter wheat production in northern
Nebraska is the dry, cold, winter
weather. Spring wheat suffers from a
number of adverse conditions, due
mainly to it's late ripening. This habit
increases the liability to injury from
chiuch bug and grasshopper depreda-
tions, and especially to injury from
dry, hot weather.
Winter wheat, as a crop for Nebraska,
has enormous possibilities. Not only are
the large yields of this wheat such as to
recommend it's culture to the farmers of
the state, but the quality of Nebraska
winter wheat gives it high standing
among buyers and consumers. The con-
ditions of climate that produce mill
ing wheat of superior excellence are
found in the region of country border
ing on the semi arid. 1t is worthy of
note that the great spring wheat produc-
ing region borders on the semi-arid
belt in the north, while the region that
is fast becoming the center of winter
wheat production occupies similar po-
sition farther south. 1t is very notice
able that the quality of hardness in
wheat improves as its culture ap-
proaches the semi-arid belt. Its adj
vantage over spring wheat is evident in
it's larger yield, when not winterkilled,
in it's comparative freedom from insect
depredations, and in the protection it
affords the soil during considerable
portion of the year. All these consider
ations make it highly desirable to i'm
prove our winter wheat in hardness
and quality, so as to extend it's growth
more widely throughout the state and
to increase it's productiveness. Improve
ment in hardness may be looked for
either by the introduction of hardy
varieties, by rendering harder by selec-
tion varieties already grown, or by a
combination of these processes. I'm
provement in quality and productive
ness is to be sought in careful culture,
fertile soil and rational selection of
seed.
To these ends this station has tested,
during the last five years, one hundred
and eighteen varieties of winter wheat,
many of which are foreign varieties,
chiefly from eastern Russia. These
testS have thus far reSn1ted i'm selectinp

a bearded wheat, and Big Frame, a
smooth wheat, have been pushed north
and west by distributing packages of
twenty pounds of seed to each of nearly
four hundred persons living north of
the Platte river, or west of the Tooth
meridian. Reports from these attempts
have been very encouraging, the great
majority of trials having been success
full.
A number of Russian varieties have
shown themselves to be very hardy, and
it is possible that some of these will
furnish the foundation for varieties
adapted to the northern portion Of the
state. These Russian wheats are gen.
orally late maturing sorts, which is
Nebraska, but farther north this quality
is less Objectionable, and when variety
is sufficiently hardy to endure the
winters, it's advantage over spring
wheat is proportional to the difference
in the time of ripening.
Wheats from different sections of the
country have shown decidedly different
qualities when sown here from seed OF
the same variety grown at the Expert
ment Station. Seed from more humid
regions, but from approximately the
same latitude, matured later and did
not yield so well as native seed, while
seed from central Kansas matured
earlier, and yielded slightly better than
native seed. The relative hardness of
these alien wheats has not been thor
oughly tested, there having been but
two severe winters since they have been
grown here. In the winter of 1S96-97,
and again in 1S9S-99, Turkey wheat
from Kansas winterkilled almost COM
pletely, while Turkish Red from Iowa
and Nebraska survived the winter
creditably. Judging from this it would
not always be safe to use Kansas grown
seed.

' LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 6.-Aftcr
Two hours of discussion of the question
of admission of colored women into
the Women's federation the anticolor-
ed women won the day when the con-
Nention overwhelmingly voted to ac-
cept what is known as the compromise
amendment agreed upon in New York
several weeks ago.
Upon the opening day of the con-
yention it was evident that spirit of
tolerance would rule. There was alb
solutely no bitterness in the prelimina-
ry talk outside the convention hall.
In the morning there was suppressed
excitement during the consideration
Of the charter, which came up first,
dent of the Georgia federation, moved
that sections . and 8 of article ., parts
of the proposed amendment, be made

knew the battle was on.
When points of order and interrnsa-
tion points flew thick and fast, Mrs.
Lowe retired from the chair tempora-
rily, calling Mrs Denison TO preside.
The color discussion has entirely
bvershadowed everything else" but
election rllmols are flying fast. There
seems to he feeling that the Decker
forces are gaining ground. a Colorado
woman said that seventeen states have
Glready announced their intention Of
voting for her for president. The ru-
NOR that Mrs. DenisOn has withdrawn
from the race was promptly denied by
