ausJ peeet svau,s wutAI.

So far rs this year aud this part of
Dakota can prove it, our durum or
macaroni wheat seems to be practically
immune to rust. All OF the fife or hard
wheats have been badly affected: so has
blue stem. aud the Improved 163 wheat
about the worst Of all. From fifteen
bushels per acre down to nothing is
about the rate for these old varieties,
while durum has yielded as high as
thirty bushels and none less than
fifteen. Fields of blue stem not worth
cutting adjoining fields of durum yield
ing close to thirty bushels.
Those who sowed this new wheat
are thankful to those who introduced
it here. while those who did not SOW it
are wondering where they are at
Will We get the same results next
year Who can tell : Not l. One
thing however, seems fairly sure. There
will be a greatly increased amount of
durum wheat in the market here in tha
northwest and the millers if they use
good business sense. ought to make
every effort to find good. economic use
for it has been we'll proven that when
properly ground and rightly baked
makes most excellent bread. and if the
results of this season are to repeated it
seems that We shall in few years be
almost entirely dependent on this new
grain for our supply of the ':staff of
life
And why not: Durum has many
other good qualities to endear it to the
heart of the practical farmer aside from
this. But this immunity to rust is
surely big thing. for the difference be-
tween thirty bushels per acre and
nothing means good deal when the
price of wheat is where it is this season.
And talk as you may about 'mixed
farming" stock raising" ETC., wheat in
some form or kind. must for many years
be the main money crop of the great
northwest. Men are too few and acres
too plenty to get down to any lone
horse" farming yet awhile.-N. S. French
in North Dakota Farmer.

Some of the cattle sent out to the In
dians on the reservations eventually
found their way to ranges controlled by
white men. Others had small herds
shipped up the Missouri river from
Iowa and other points, and for years
large herds were driven from points
farther south to fatten on the ranges of
the Missouri river country and then
shipped from there to market. In this
way some of the nonresident stockmen
found that cattle did much better here
than farther south, and during the
next few years numerous permanent
stock ranches were established in the
western part of North Dakota, some of
them representing large capital, and
consisting of large bands of horses.

DOLLAR AND A HALF WHEAT.

Dollar ard half wheat is a predic-
ton that is freely made by statisticians
who keep in touch with the economic
conditions of the world. The price OF
bread in all eastern cities has advanced
to 6 cents per loaf. and the bureau of
commerce and labor has issued the fol
lowing most interesting statement:
Wheat reports from the United States
seem likely to reach, in the cur
rent year. their lowest point in the his
tory of the export trade for many years.
Figures prepared by the bureau of sta
tistics. show exports during the zine
months ending With September of less
100000 bushels. as against 100000
in the corresponding months of 1903.
96,oU0.Lc0 il the corresponding months
of 1902. and 100000 in the cor
responding months Of 1901. Thus the
expectation of wheat in the nine months
ending with September is but one-hfth
that of the corresponding months of
1903. about one-tenth that of the cor
responding months of 1902, and but
about one-fo urteenth as much as that
of the corresponding months of 1901.
Even the -four exports are beginning
to show the effect of the great shortage
in the wheat supply available for ex-
portation, and the nine months ending
with September, 1904, they amounted to
only 100000 barrels, speaking in round
terms, against 13,5oo,Wo in the cor
responding months of 1903. and over
100000 in the corresponding months
of 1901. Flour exports are less readily
affected by a shortage of wheat than
are those of wheat itself. During the
last decade -four exports for the nine
months period have but twice fallen
below 100000 barrels, but in the nine
months Of the present year have
amounted to but 100000 barrels.
Wheat exported during fhs decade had
never fallen below shout 100000
bushels for:the nine months' period, and
ranged from that anount h about l4Oy
10000 bashsas ioe ths period under
coueidssstion, but. amounted, in the
snine msathss ell1iag With September,
1904. to only o. ~ bushels.

PRIMARY ELECTION ASo PARTY PLATFORMS

One of the principal objections raised
to the adoption of the primary election
system in the nominations for state,
county. and municipal Offices, is that the
construction of platform would be
hardly feasible. There are Others. but
this is one that has been prominently
put forward OF late. This suggests
consideration of the uses OF platforms,
with especial reference to their value
in state and local affairs. At each state
and general election the voter finds on
his ballot candidates of republican de-
mocratic, prohibition and socialist parties
that in that particular are known not
to stand upon formal platform. There
is case very much to the point in the
preliminary contest fo- the republican
congressional nominations held in Mime
sofa at the opening of the campaign.
Minneso.a's experiment with the ques-
tion of election primaries has been given
close attention by the people of all par
ties and it will be recalled that at their
pre!iminaries there were cases in which
the policies of opposing candidates were
in direct conflict. A stand pat republi-
can would find himself opposed by a
tariff revision republican. Now they
both considered themselves as loyal re-
publicans and had many followers who
were Of the same opinion. yet no one
platform could have represented the
tariff views of both. They furnished
their own platforms and the people were
left to say which they preferred. 1twas
so with the other positions calling for
direc. nomination. In their canvas prior
to the primaries aspirants tell what re-
forms they propose to introduce. what
abuses they hope to correct. They in
tended to work in harmony with the
party in whose name they are enrolled as
candidates. but they paid little atten-
ton to national or state declarations in
their pledges and promises. In this re-
spect at least the direct nomination
gives greater liberty for the demonstra-
ton OF of initiative force by the candi-
date. better opportunity for the people
to measure his stature. There is a
broader field for independence. There
are objections to the primary election
system. but the lack of platforms is the
least of them. The platform is heavily
discounted nowadays. Evenin the pre-
sidentiai contest which in the week
has closed not much has been said about
the resolutions drawn upat Chicago and
ST. Louis. The formal promise is ignor-
ed. but the performance of each party
and its candidates weighed. In state
and congressional campaigns the same
fact may also be noted. Onceit was said
that platform is mot to stand on but
to get il, on. Even in the getting in
process ii is not as great an aid asst it has
been II years past.

Professor G. B. Waldron of the United
States experiment station at the state
agricultural college says that North Da-
kota has grass area of 100000 acres,
capable of producing each year as much
beef as is represented by half a million
three-year old steers, allowing twenty
five acres to each animal. These yoked
together would make an OK team 500
miles long, thus giving an idea of the
immense productiveness Of our pastures.
Professor Waldron also makes the
statement that of the 1900 or more
species of grass known to botanists
about eighty are natives Of this state.
States having more varied vegetable
conditions like that of New York, have
a much greater number of species, but
no state contains larger lumber or
quantity of valuable species.
Stock raising IN the western part Of
the state has been from the first tho
important industry. The first to en-
gage in breeding cattle in :this section
were men who were connected with the
various military posts along the Mis-
sour river 1T Fort Buford, at Fort Lin
coin and other points in the seventies.
The character Of the land and tho
sight of countless buffalo which rpamed
ovsf tho prairie doubtless con1i1ned
them of the superiority a that SECTION

IN SUMMER SHAWLS
WOOL AND SILK COMBINED IN
CRocHETED EFFECTS.
Open Work Patterns Run With Ribbon
Find Many Buyers-A Dainty
Hooded Effect.

Written for The Evening Star.
The girl who discovers in the trunk Of
family heirlooms summer shawl of any
sort may count herself in luck, for this
style of wrap is enjoying genuine renais-
sance.
Thanks to the Russo-Japanese war the
fad in shawls runs toward embroidered
crepe, particularly when the embroidery is
in self-tones. For the girl who may own
only one shawl, the most desirable selec-
ton is white crepe embroidered and firing
ed in white. She will fold 1t In long, mar
row, scarf-Ike lines, with one row of fringe
at the top. so that she may draw it up over
her head in the cool night air. The fringe
softens face immensely.
Next to the crepe shawl comes the GRO
cheted or knitted affair, which Dickens
characters were portrayed as making in
endless numbers. In the olden days this
shawl was apt to be heavy and conserva-
tive looking. Today it is mass of hlmy
designs, fieecy threads and ribbons. The
favorite combination is fine wool yarn,
oyerknit with silk threads, all worked in an
open, shell pattern and with deep scallop.
The silk is in the same tone as the wool
thread, or with pale blue a nile green
wool silyery silk thread is employed, like
an OVERLAPPING mesh of metal
A fascinating little shawl and hood COM
squares marked off in white silk. The stitch
is that employed in making old-fashioned
afghans or antimacassars. The design
shows a deep point In the back, with small
err points over the shoulder, running up
gracefully to the neck in the front.
An enttcing hood of the green yarn falls
at the back 1t is lined with a cobweb pat
tern in white silk, showing the green
through II, the fringe is of white silk. and
white silk cord and tassels are used for
finish.
For dashing brunette there is the same
design In white yarn, with trimmings of
brilliant scarlet, including the lining of the
hood, cord and tassels
To be entirely in fashion with shawl
the dowager will resurrect the black and
purple horror" which she packed away in
her girlhood, for the combination, savoring
strongly of the early eos, is being offered
at all the shops White and lavender is
also popular combination for the ma
| irons shawl.
For women with light gray or white hair,
dressed high, there is nothing more effect
| i've in the way of a summer wrap than
black Spanish lace. This may be an obiong
scarf, or the familiar three cornered shawl
which drapes SO effectively over the hair
Young girls cling to what the shopkeepers
call throws-long, narrow scarfs in madras
or cotton crepe effects, striped in pale Ro-
man silk weaves, with perhaps just dash
of gold or silver. While these lightweight
wraps blend well with summer dresses the
girl who wants be up to date selects the
shawl which is crocheted or knitted and
| run with ribbons.
