RUST AND DURUM WHEAT.
What Tests Have Proved as to the Resistance Power of Differ
 ent Varieties.

Durum wheats resist rust very much more than the common varie- ties. and this ought to be fact of considerable importance favorable to their use. However. this quality has not been emphasized as much as it might be. for the reason that durum varieties are particularly adapted to the drier regions where rust does not often occur. It is now seen from the results of the crop sea- son of 1904 that rather severe rust at tacks are likely even in the driest DOT Gons of the grain region. and that in about one year out of ten this quality of rust resistance becomes of tho greatest importance.
 At the South Dakota agricultural ex- pertinent station during 1904 the varie- ties that resisted the rust so far as to give the maximum yields mentioned were all of the durum group.
 A very interesting feature of the ex- periments as to rust resistance. which have been carried on by this depart ment for ten years in cooperation with state experiment stations. is that the variety Iumillo. which showed the most complete resistance the past sea son. is the same one that has been more resistant than any other in all of the experiments for the last three years or more. During the previous years the rust was not sufficiently se- were to make much difference whether any of these varieties were resistant or not. but nevertheless it was still an interesting fact that this one va riety was always marked 100 in the scale of rust resistance. while no other variety reached that grade, or, If so. at least only rarely. Now this fact becomes much more significant and of .the greatest economical i'm. portance after season of extreme Injury through rust For awhile the fact was overlooked that this is durum variety. 1t being referred to always as belonging in the common group.

OUR TONIC AIR.

One Reason Why We Have Best
 Weather Service Tn the World.
 When the amazed European asks us what makes the sluggish mind of the immigrant to. stir and waken in tht United States and then to climb at firs. hesitatingly. but soon with vigor anc confidence. to the top round in the lad der of success we are accustomed to reply. Its in the air." and we ar, right. says Gilbert H. Grosvenor ii his Our Heralds of Storm and Flood in the June Century. The spirit whicl fired our fathers to cross the wide Al lantic and which in less or equal deg1e still animates the thousands annually seeking our shores Is fed and fannef by the cold winds from the northwest.
 The cold wave Is born In the heavens miles above our heads. usually over the Rocky mountain plateau. Suddenly a mass of bitterly cold air will tumble down upon Montana. It rushes down as though poured through sn enormous funnel As it falls It gains momentum and. reaching the earth. spreads over the Mississippi valley and then over the Atlantic states, covering them Ike 6 blanket. If scatters the foul. logy. breath soaked atmosphere in our towns and cities and puts ginger into the air. We i'll our lungs with it and live. New waves are always coming. following each other in regular procession like the waves on a seashcre.
 Ii is fitting. then. that meteorologr. the science of the weather. should be a distinctly American product and that the people Of the United States should have the best weather service in the world. The United States government spends s1.5po.0oO a rear on it's weather bureau. which is more money than all the governments of Europe combined spend for similar service It has q staff of many hundred skilled experts and trained observers who In all parts of the country are constantly on the watch fo s-e what the heavens will bring forth

How Fraternity Haters at Kansas
 University "Got Even."
 The Biblical society at Baker univer. sity. Baldwin, Kan, until a few weeks ago had clause in its constitution for bidding it's members to join any na- tional fraternity, says the Kansas City Star. When the clause was voted out after warm debate there were many in the society who believed that 1t marked the passing of the society.
 The Athenian society there has new CT put ban on fraternity, and a number of its members belong to se- cret organizations. Recently third society owas organized with the under- standing that none of its members should join the "frats." Shortly after, however. one. Browne by name, yield ed to temptation and joined enc, of them in spite of the objection af his Promethean brothers in the new so- ciety.
 The next morning when the students assembled for chapel services three rude tombstones were found erected in the campus in front of Centenary hall. They had been put up by some of the fraternity haters. One of them was inscribed: "Atheniah Society. Died of Frat-oid.' The second one read: Biblical Society. Busted" The third bore the words: "Promethean Society. Died of Brownchitis."

COMPARISON OF RUST RESISTANCE
 OF FOUR DIFFERENT WHEATs.
 A-Tumillo durum. No. 173s; B-Saragolla aurum. No FPS: C-Ghirka Spring, No. !5l7: D-A pedigree Blue Stem.
 riety for the crop of 1904 in com parison with that of three other va- rieties. In the order from A to. D, which is also the order of the de- gree of injury from rust. the varie- ties represented are as follows: A, No. 1736, Iumillo B. No. 222S, Sara golla; c. No. 1517 Ghirka Spring, and D. pedigree Blue Stem. The yields of these varieties per acre were. respectively: IumilIo. Is 2-3 bushels; Saragolla. 12 2-3 bushels; Ghirka Spring. 5-S bushels, and the pedigree Blue Stem 5-6 bushels. The first two are durum wheats and the last two ordinary wheats.
 From all results so far obtained throughout the country, 1t appears that the variety Velvet Don stands next to Iumillo in rust resistance. and therefore takes second rank in this respect This is shown in an accurate manner by experiments at the sub experiment station at Edgeley. N D.. carried on in cooperation with the North Dakota agricultural experiment station.s

was the faint sound of a voice which
seemed to be shouting something
in the distance. May also perceived
tnat the voice was drawing gradually
nearer. and resolving itself into that
of a peripatetic newsboy, who was
vending his wares and shouting out
the most sensational headings at the
top of his voice. Was that all? Still,
he was not yet near enough for her
to distinguish the sense of the sounds
which caught her ear from time to

over again, III only father would come
