One feature of the seeding which is
to be noted is the interest which Is
taken in macarOni wheat. For many
years this grain has been grown in
limited quantities in ONE of the
southern counties where there is usu-
ally less rainfall than in the north.
Recently the state and national de-
partments of agriculture have taken
the matter up, and there has been i'm
ported from Russia wheat of the class
that has been grown there with great
success for many years. 1t is said to
thrive on an annual rainfall of ten
inches, and as there is not a section
Of the state where this rainfall is not
exceeded, it is considered safe to SOW
this grain anywhere in the state.
