MACARONI WHEAT GROWING.
Successful Experiments I'm Several
Western States.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
Secretary Wilson Of the Agricultural de-
partment, has accomplished another val
liable thing for the farmers of this country
by the introduction OF macaroni wheat, the
growth OF which has met with great sue
cess in some Of the western states The
secretary, In his report for 1901. stated that
the imports of macaroni exceeded 5000, 900
pounds annually. worth nearly $500, ,OOO The
product is made from special class OF
wheats, which had never been given a
thorough trial in this country. He secured
a quantity OF the wheats and distributed
them in the Dakotas and in Kansas and
Nebraska. To his qualification their cult
walton was a complete success.
They yielded one-third TO one-half more
per acre than any other wheats grown side
by side with them. and when other wheats
were almost a complete failure in the Da-
kotas the macaroni varieties produced a
very good yield OF excellent quality. The
yield is from one-third to one-half more
than that OF any other standard wheats in
the same locality The macaroni wheats
can be grown successfully In localities
where It was not considered possible to
grow any kind of wheat before, owing to
the light rainfall. over 1000 900 bushels
were produced last year. and the average
The demand for this wheat has exceeded
the supply, the macaroni made from the
wheat being OF the highest quality. Besides
there is a good market abroad for the
wheat. The importation OF macaroni has
already largely decreased so that the sue
cess OF the industry is assured. While this
wheat is chiefly used for macaroni, bread
is made from It which is regarded as very
nutritious and pAlatable.
The introduction OF japanese rice by the
department has resulted in a great increase
in rice production, so that the importation
OF that article has greatly declined. More
hardy winter wheat has been brought with
success from Russia, oats from Sweden and
other cereals and fruits from other parts OF
the world, all OF great value TO the farmers
and planters. The Agricultural department
was never so well managed a. Il v at the
present time.

SOCIALIST GRoWTH IN GERMANY.

The socialist party In Germany has
grown rapidly during the last few years
and will have a much stronger repre-
sentation in the new Reichstag. for
which an election was held Tuesday,
than in it's predecessor. At the last
general election in 1898 the socialist
party cast 2,lO7. 100 votes, out of total
OF 7.752,9OO. 1t had fifty-seven repre-
sentatives in the Reichstag then elected,
while il is expected to have at least
eighty in the new body, which means
that during the last five years IT has
increased its vote more than 100000
The gain made by this party is due
to it's aggressive opposition to the new
tariff law and to the policy of military
and naval extension urged by the gov
ernment. 1t has been aided also by the
industrial depression which has pre-
vailed in the empire for several years.
The strength Of the socialist party Is

WHERE We HAVE DONE WELL.

American administration in Porto
Rico has been greatly successful and
conditions in that island were never be-
fore so good as they are at this time
According to Governor Hunt, who is
now in the United States, there has
been continued development In the
island, business has steadily improved
and commercial relations between the
Porto Ricans and the people of this
country have become greatly extended
This is seen in the trade statistics,
which show a heavy increase during
the past year in the exports of coffee,
sugar and tobacco from the island to
the United States. While this trade
development has been going on there
has at the same time been a very
marked advance in public improve
ments. Educational conditions are also
making steady progress. Under such
circumstances it is perhaps needless to
say that the people are peaceful and
contented and regard the American
plan of administration with unqualified
favor. There is a very great contrast
between the conditions in Porto Rico
and those in the West Indian posses
sions of European powers.
While the task in the Philippines is
infinitely more difficult than was that
in Porto Rico, yet there can be no
doubt that we shall in time accomplish
change in the archipelago that will
have results as satisfactory and as cred.
liable as are those in our West Indian
island. The advance already made
gives ample promise OF this.

Rainmaker's Hard Lines.
Philadelphia Ledger.

HHdUTIUIld ICUBUT'
One Of the cruelest things that ever hap
pened to a scientist was the occurrence of
violent thunderstorm in the Adirondaclxs
just as Prof Myers, the rainmaker, was
about to send up his balloons. The profess
sor had been imported from Texas at great
expense, to break the drouth. and but for
an unfortunate delay in the arrival Of the
apparatus he would have discharged his
bombs in air before the storm arrived and
would have thus earned DR.. Seward webb's
honorarium and demonstrated the efflciency
of his practice. We think that he is as
much entitled TO reward as he would have
been had the storm followed and not pre-
ceded the experiment. but to reflect upon
the chance Of a happy sequence so mar
row1y missed must be heartbreakinK.

City as pork packing center. While
Kansas City has fallen 10000 behind in
