DANE COUNTY MAY
GROW MAcARoNI WHEAT

That Dane county may in time grow
macaroni wheat and help supply the
residents of the macaroni eating
countries with part of their supply j.
a possibility. In a report of the
growth of this valuable species OF
wheat the following report is sent GU,
from Washington:
There is now good reason to be-
lieVe that the United States will IN
time produce all the macaroni il
consumes and also supply a consider
able portion of the macaronl flour
A&ed abroad. DR.. A. c. True, chief OF
Me office of experiment station of the
department of agriculture, says that
while these wheats have given the
best results on the great plains mean
the hundredth meridian, they may
be grown over quite a wide area.
North of the thirty eighth parallel
they must grow as spring wheats
They are much harder than the or
binary hard wheats, and contain more
protein, but less starch The flour
from macaroni wheats makes a richer
macaroni than that from the ordinary
hard wheats. but alterations in the
usual milling machinery are required
to produce this flour, which is
technically called semolina.
Macaroni flour can be made into
a sweet bread of good flavor, which
is little richer in protein than that
made from the ordinary -four of av.
erage composition. For bread it is
often considered desirable to mix 20
per cent. or more of red wheat flour
with the macaroni wheat -four. 1t
thus appears that macaroni wheats
may be successfully used 10 extend
the wheat area and production in the
United States, but they are not likely
to come into serious or harmful COM
