MACARONI RESULTS
BIG PROFIT In THE CROP THIS
YEAR-TIE WHEAT
ITSELF.

The Edgeley Mail says: During
the past two or three years, L. A.
Ueland has been warm advocate of
macaroni wheat. Last spring he put
in two hundred and twenty acres of
wheat-all macaroni. Saturday he
finished threshing the same and re-
ports a yield of thirty bushels per
acre. Mr.. Ueland sold over a thou
sand bushels at the machine. and
the balance he disposed of in the
local market. The wheat netted him
eighty cents per bushel, which
averaged him twentyt-four dollars
per acre. Where under the sun can
you find state that can make
better showing? There is one thing,
Mr.. Ueland has demonstrated that
it pays to raise macaroni wheat,
even if 1T will not bring as big price
as the ordinary wheat.
S. Glover of Glover, n. D., writes
about the crop and its advantages as
follows: IT have recently been in
North Dakota, and beg to state that
I think three to four million bushels
OF durum or macaroni wheat was
ground by local mills in 1903-4, and a
large amount used for seed.
IT think 80 per cent of the wheat
in Ransom county was durum, and in
Sargent, Dickey and LaMoure coun.
ties, about SO per cent was durum.
''This year all the common wheat
was badly hurt and I think, will
average about 20 bushels to the acre,
OF good quality. Owing to the durum
wheat being harder and yielding so
much more, nearly all the farmers
in our part of the state will raise
durum wheat next season, and |
think all the wheat there will be re-
quired for seed and for grinding by
the local mills.
':We have used no other -four so1
bread at my farm. and my home and
my sons home for ten months, and
we all like the bread from durum
wheat better than from Scotch fife,
and most other persons who have
tried it. like it better.
"It has been proved that it will
make as good bread and as much of
it as any wheat. 1t makes better
toast, biscuit, pastry and breakfast
food, and it is the most valuable
wheat grown in the Northwest, and
will sell for more when its merits are
generally known. 1t is much harder,
stands dry and hot weather better
than common wheat; does not shell.
bleach, sprout or smut, and yields
from 25 to so per cent more than
common wheat in our locality"
