ST. Petersburg, March 23.-The fol-

entrenchments made by the enemy. Up
TO that date the enemy had not appear
ed at Yong Pyon (15 miles northeast of

two squadrons of the enemy had ar
rived at Pakchong (15 miles northwest
of Anju), 900 Of our cavalry was dis
patched for the purpose of preventing
the enemy from crossing the Pakchong
river. Our cavalry found three Jap
anese squadrons on the left bank of the
river, but they withdrew toward Anju
on the arrival Of our detachment with

| The japanese squadrons number
about 1870 each. According to a re-
port 800 of the enemy's cavalry oc-
cupied Yong Pyong on March 10 and

MACAhQNl Or DURUM WHEAT.
well Adapted to Dry Areas in the Pa
cific Northwest,

M. a. Carleton. cereaust of the Uni
ed States department of agricuhut
mas had numerous Inquiries fron
Washington, Idaho and Oregon abOq
macaroni wheat. He says:
The results OF the season Of 1909
both on a commercial basis and from
the standpoint OF cultivation, in thl
development of the durum (macaroli
wheat industry in this country have nc
only confirmed the previous recomma
dations of the department of agriclI
ture concerning this grain, but ban
made it still more evident that it is
grain Of the greatest value for IF
semiarid districts. The demand m
both the wheat and flour, include
semolina, for making macaroni @I
ing the winter has SO increased IN
there is already practically little to u
obtained, and there has recently b@|
a considerable increase in prices u
long, therefore, as the grain is grow
where it should be it will be desiral1
to have a considerable increase in pr
duction for the next years crop al
no doubt there will be.
The wheat seems we'll adapted \
those areas devoted to dry farming
in Washington, Idaho, Utah, 0reg1
and other mountain and Pacific staIsl
so long as the soil is not too gresl
lacking in humus.
1t is important also for the farm
TO note that the name 'durum" is III
ly to be largely used for this VIVA
instead of the term "macaroni" ID
ture, especially in commercial clrei
and it is necessary to become famlDI
with the term. The word durun
really the correct name for this glo
of Wheats, and, besides, it is "
found that the name macaroni Is
leading, as the wheat is already knO'I
from the results of many trials,
excellent for making bread, as wen
macaroni. On the other hand "

although the durums certainly ~
the best product. The word GU
means hard" and is therefore
appropriate, and being short

use.
Finally, it is a repetition fully y
fed to call attention again to INC =
ent need of the use of pure SEED, 4
1t is perhaps needless to add U
communication the statement
there is no seed of durum whea' E
