Two years ago. the Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station, cooperating with
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. sent seed durum (MA-
cARoND wheat to careful farmers
well distributed over Eastern Colo
RADIO where dry farming is practiced.
Millers of Colorado urge farmers
in the irrigated grain regions of the
state TO grow Defiance as their spring
wheat and Turkey Red as winter
wheat. since these give most salts
factory milling returns.
1t is believed durum wheat is not
adapted for wet farming conditions.
but that it can be successfully grown
in many parts OF our semi-arid lands
where other wheat cannot be grown
This will add many thousand acres
to the wheat acreage of Colorado.
1t has been demonstrated that pro-
fitable yields can be obtained from
durum wheat when the seed bed is
carefully prepared on the thorough
tillage system.
Many farmers wish seed durum
this coming season and it seems de-
sirable to obtain good quality seed.
from which satisfactory harvest re-
turns may be reasonably expected.
The Agricultural Section Of the
Experiment Station is in correspond
ence with parties having a good
quality of pedigreed kubanka durum
for sale There are fifteen varieties
Of durum grown in this country u.
L., but Kubanka durum has good
milling qualities and seems well
adapted to our Colorado conditions.
The Station proposes to procure
this seed at As reasonable . rate q
possible and sell it at cost to farmers
who desire durum seed wheat.
A small acreage is recommended
for the first season. Under dry
farming conditions SO to 60 pounds
is sufficient to seed an acre. This
should be sown with drill on thor
oughly pulverized. well firmed soil
as early in the spring as climatic and
soil conditions will permit.
Readers of this paper who desire
the Experiment Station to obtain
seed durum wheat are requested to

NEGRO RESOLUTIONS
ogNouNc,Ne jim CROW LAWS
Negro Press Association Announces
Its Attitude on Questions A.
fectinq the Race.

Muskogee, l. T., Sept. 23.-The West
ern Negro Press Association, in an
nual meeting here yesterday, adopted
the following resolutions:
1T being considered the settled pol
icy of the white people of the southern
states TO abridge the political rights of
the colored people, and thereby nuulify
the fifteenth amendment, a memorial
shall be presented to the President
and to Congress opposing statehood
for the two territories tIndian Terri
tory and Oklahoma) unless an abso-
lutte guarantee can be given that there
will be NO Jim Crow coach laws and
other laws discriminating between the
races in public places"
The resolutions endorse the admins
tration of President Roosevelt. and he
is spoken of as the greatest chief ex-
ecutive since the great emancipator,
Lincoln" Negroes are urged to acquire
land; lynching and the perpetrators of
crimes leading thereto are denounced,
be they white or colored; it is de-
clared that separate schools should
not be established in states where
slavery never existed, and that in the
states where both races favor separ-
ate schools they should exist as
means to an end, rather than as an end
themselves. Booker T. Washington
industrial policy is endorsed. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of the IN
terror Hitchcock are to be informed
that the rights given the freedmen in
the territory to sell their lands without
restrictions are being abused. and II
the evil Is not stopped they will soon
dispose Of their homes and become
paupers and wards of the Nation.
The Western Negro Press Associa-
ton elected the following officers yes
terday: President. w. H. Duncan. Col
orado Springs; vice president. c. n.
Sellers, Buxton, Iowa; corresponding
secretary. w. H. Twine. Muskogee,
Indian Territory; recording secretary,
F. ]. Mordon, Muskogee, Indian Terri
tory; treasurer, Miss s. Tidley. Guth-
rie. Oklahoma.
The association will meet next year
at Colorado Springs.
