belt, particularly along the Red river Of

states from Nebraska to Texas, should be
Kept down to as low a figure as possible.
The wheat seems well adapted to those
areas devoted to ''dry farming" in Wash
ington Idaho, Utah, Oregon, and other
and Pacific states, so long as the
soil is not too greatly lacking in humus.
:, '.. Use Pure Seed. +.
1t is important also for the farmer to
note that the name "durum'' is likely to be
term "macaroni' in future, especially in
commercial circles, and it is necessary to
become familiar with the term.
The word durum is really the correct
name for this group Of wheats, and be-
Sides it is now found that the name mac
aroni is misleading, as the wheat Is al
ready known, from the results of many
trials, to be excellent for making bread as
well as macaroni.
Other kinds of wheat are often used for
making macaroni, altho the durulns Ger
tainly make the best product. The word
durum means hard and is, therefore,
very appropriate, and being a short, easy
name ought to come at once into use.
Finally, it is a repetition fully justified
to call attention again to the urgent need
Of the use of pure seed. It Is matter to
be emphasized in sowing any kind OF
grain, but is particularly important in this
connection because of the great difference
between the durum wheat and ordinary
wheats. A mixture of these two is dam
aging to their commercial use more than
in the case of mixing Of other wheats with
each other. The recent circular dis
tributed by the Van Dusen Harrington
company of Minneapolis, treating Of this
subject, is much to be commended.
There is no seed of durum wheat fol
general distribution by the department OF
agriculture There is already plenty OF
seed in the country, to be obtained usually
at a reasonable distance from the buyer
which is being sold generally at a fall
price. - ss-s.

FIRE AT RED LAKE FALLS SHE STAGGERED THE KID
YOUNG NEW YORK WOMAN
LANDS ON McCOY'S JAW AND
FORCES HIM TO CLINCH.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, March 16.-Miss Lucille
st. Clair, an athletic young woman,
formerly Of Louisville, but now Of
New York, has achieved a reputation
as boxer that might entitle her to
challenge Champion Jeffries. In a
friendly bout she swung her right; on
"Kid" McCoy's jaw and dazed that
clever boxer more than many a great
fighter has been able to do. 1t fairly
staggered the kid, and he promptly
clinched to avoid further punching. Z
Miss st. Clair Is distinct type Of
the American athletic girl. There is
hardly a phase of athletics for women
in which she has not excelled. While
she was working the other day in Nc
Coy's gymnasium, she asked the kid
to put on the gloves with her for a
friendly round or two. The hoosier
consented. They had spared for a
few minutes, when there was a quick
shift Of little feet and small gloved
hand shot out with lightning speed
and landed fair and square on the
point Of McCoy's jaw. The clever
boxer, who has met the best that the
world Of pugilists has produced, wob-
bled for a second or two, dazed and
unable to comprehend what had hap
pened. Then he lurched forward and
clinched as If it We're Peter Maher
or Tom Sharkey that had delivered
the blow.

Winnipeg, Man, March 16.-Word
has just been received from lockwood
of the death of Thomas Lusted, regis
trar Of the district of lockwood,
which post he has held since 1882.
Mr.. Lusted came to Winnipeg In 1867
and started in business as a carriage
builder. He was a member of the
first council Of the city, and sat for
some time on the school board. He
was also a member Of the local legis-
lature in 1889.
During the 1870 rebellion he was
imprisoned, with many others, in Fort
Garry by Louis .Riel, but managed to
escape from there at the time of the
execution Of Thomas Scott by Rie1s
troops and found his way back to- On
tario after Incredible hardships on the
trail. He returned to this province
Immediately after the revolution.
Lusted was 50. - One Of the princi-
pal streets of the city is named after
him.

Washington, March I'm. A.
Carleton, Cerealist of the department
Of agriculture, furnishes important in
formation regarding the growth and
marketing of durum, or macaroni,
wheat. He says: ..>5,..s
The results of the season Of 1903, both
on commercial basis and from the stand
point of cultivation, in. the development
Of the durum wheat industry in this coun-
try, have not only confirmed the previous
recommendations of the department of ag-
riculture concerning this grain, but have
made it still more evident that it is a grain
Of the greatest value for the semiarid dis
tricts.
The demand for both the wheat and
flour, including semolina for. making
nacaroni, during the winter has SO in
ally little to- be obtained and there
| has recently been a considerable in
crease in prices. So long, therefore, as
the grain is grown where it should be- it
will be desirable to have: a. considerable
increase in production for the next year S
crop, and no doubt there will be.
About 1000, 900 bushels of the 1903 crop
/ have gone to Minneapolis. to the lake
cities, or to foreign countries, and the re-
mainder has been used at the local mills
with the exception of comparatively
small amount that has been sold for seed
or fed to stock. !.
1 On the basis of the consumption of the
present crop and the evident increase in
demand, the production of next year
I ought to be $4,000. 900 bushels. It is prac-
tically certain now that the crop of 1908
was not so large as it was supposed to be
| at first.
Keep to Seml-ArId Districts.
i It is important, however, again to EN-
phasize the necessity of growing the wheat
strictly within the serniarid districts. It is
a necessity both for the producer and the
consumer: It will only yield heavily, com
pared with other grains, in such districts
and therefore be OF greater financial profit
to the farmer. And it is only the grair
produced in these districts that is Of the
/ high quality characteristic of this wheat.
In former publication of this depart
Iment (Bulletin No. g. Macaroni Wheats), {
map is given Of the area east Of which
no..e of this class of wheat should b.
sown It is probable now that this bel
