experiments, and | believe | may
say that we have found the method
by which il may be avoided. The
whole secret lies in the proper
breeding Of the grain, and as our
experiments in this direction pro.
gress we will secure a variety of
plant capable of Offering much
greater resistance to the spread of
rust than the Fife and Bluestem
varieties, which nov comprise the
bulk of wheat grown in the north
west. The problem Of rust in wheat
may be compared to tuberculosis in
human beings. Just as one family
brought under certain climatic infu-
ences may develop tubercular tend
ences and another prove absolutely
exempt, SO some wheat which thrives
elsewhere may prove peculiarly
susceptible to rust in the northwest.
This being the case, we have
been working and are still at work
on an exhaustive series of expert
ments to find or develope the plant
most suited to northwest conditions.
This il a slow process, as every
plant is subjected to actual growing
tests in our fields, but already we
have secured varieties more endur-
ing than those now commonly grown
and the finding, or rather making
of more and better varieties is only
ID question of time.
"Of course, our broad, general
aim is to secure more value to an
acre, and this involves not only
resistance to rust and other infection
but greater yield as well. 1t may
be said that the same plants which
prove least susceptible to infection
also give the largest yields. With
out putting ourselves in a boastful
attitude, we expect not only to soon
give the farmer varieties of wheat
more enduring than the species now
chiefly grown, the Fife and Blue
stem, but also to increase the yield
of Minnesota and the Dakotas by
10000, 900 bushels"
The realization of this expectation
increasing the yield Of the north
west which, according to Professor
is not SO far distant as might
be imagined-will offer one avenue
relief to Minneapolis mills from
the growing scarcity of hard wheat.
The enactment of the desired draw
back legislation on Canadian wheat
would afford immediate relief in this
direction as well as others but.
continued rate discrimina-
ion on the part of the railroads, the
Minneapolis mills will be in opera
ion after the time when even the
lew and fertile fields of Canada
nave all been utilized. Then, with
'ur constantly increasing consump-
ion and an absence of new wild
and on which to increase the size
the wheat crop, the millers will
cap the benefit of the Investigations
which will enable the farmer to
-aise on the old land a materially
yield than is now the case
It practically the same cost of cult

found in one place and half barrel
of beer and three quarts OF whiskey in
the other. Both cases will be tried at

DIETRICH
HEARING
Nebraska Senator on the Stand
Makes Denial Of Bribery
Charges.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-At the
Dietrich inquiry in the senate Senator
Dietrich took the stand and at his re-
quest was sworn, although Chairman
Hoar stated that the practice of the
senate had been not to swear senator
on the theory that all senator's had
equal rights In that body. In reply
TO Senator Hoar he first reviewed his
election as governor and senator and
then in answer to Senator Hoar, said,
Il have never received a cent for the
appointment of Jacob Fisher as post
master" Then the senator told of bis
relation with Jacob Fisher and how he
came to recommend him for postmas-
ter instead of appointing him oil in
spector
Senator Dietrich stated that while he
was governor he had made a contract
with the postoffice department for the
rent Of the Dietrich building at $1,S00
This contract was made with Postmas-
ter General Smith He heard of pro
tests regarding the rent TO be paid and
told Jacob Fisher that he would take
$1,000 for the building, although he
felt that he ought not to pay for the
fixtures. Mr. Fisher responded that he
would pay for the fixtures. Mr.. Diet
rich declared that Jacob Fisher would
have been postmaster no matter where
the postofiice might have been located.
He denied that the deed of the post
office property was made TO his daugh-
ter so that he could lease his building
to the government
IN reply to a question from Senator
H0ar Mr. Dietrich said that never, di-
rectly or indirectly, had the question Of
money been suggested to any candidate
or applicant for any position while he
was governor or senator and said he
had never received. directly or indi-
rectly. a cent for any appointment he
had made, nor had he ever expected a
cent from any one so appointed. He
said that when the money that had
been received by his daughter from
Jacob Fisher for the rent Of the back
room was returned TO Fisher and Fran
els that he dhe SENATOR paid the
amount, his daughters account at the
bank being overdrawn.
Senator Dietrich denied having had
a conversation with Fisher in which
the subject Of paying $4,000 for
Thompson's expenses came up.
