The Hard Varieties Withstand
the Ravages of Rust---Are
Profitable Crop
LARGE YIELD IN MANY FIELDS
Acreage of Wheat in Iowa Has Been
Decreasing, but Farmers are Begin
ming to Turn Their Attention to
Growing More of That Cereal in the
Future.

Orange City, April 1S.-Tha impor-
lance of growing hard winter wheat in
the northwest part of Iowa and in the
adjoining wheat states as never more
emphasized than during the past year
when the wheat producers suffere!
losses amounting to millions from the
grain-rust epidemic which prevailed
i'm these states. Much wheat was
damaged in Iowa last year and farmers
were generally discouraged in raising
that cereal. While farmers in gem
eral and business have suffered from
the loss of the crop last year and Ia
mented the fact generally, yet 1t VIII
lead to an Improvement in selecting
the kind of grain best suited to this
climate. The most important thing
learned by many farmers is that there
is a hard wheat variety which will, In
spite of the disease in it's worst FORM
produce a good crop. There are
large number of durum or macaroni
varieties which are well adaptable tn
this section and which will Withstand
the ravages of the rust we'll. Many
farmers have written the department
Of agriculture at Washington, in re-
gard to Nthe best kinds Of wheat to
raise in Iowa and the answer has al
ways been in the bulletin recommend
ing the durum kinds of wheat. Several
fields are reported last year to have
been surrounded by fields thoroughly
blasted by rust but where the hard
VARIETY was planted it's owner har-
vested thirty-five bushels an acre. In
experiments carried out in many state
institutions it has been shown that all
the Russian varieties of wheat with
stand this climate better and are less
liable to be affected by the rust than
any other kinds. Farmers are learning
this fact, and though there will not
be as much wheat sown this year as
usual there will be more of the hard
varieties planted than ever before
There is also tendency among the
hard wheat kinds to ripen just little
earlier than other kinds and this would
be an advantage to the farmer. 1t Is
also a fact that this kind of wheat is
the only kind that will Withstand the
dry summers of the Russian plains
and ought to be we'll adapted to the
western plains ST our own country. The
acreage of wheat in Iowa has been de-
creasing year after year on account OF
the small YIELD but a variety of wheat
can be grown that will yield plentifulIy
then farmers will return to the sowing
of more acres.

He recommends his method both FOR
utility and for cheapness. The talk
was an interesting one and ELECTED
considerable discussion.

DON'T PICK YOUR CHERRIES.
Council Bluffs Man Says They Should
Be Clipped off.

Fl
Council Bluffs, April 1S.-A Council
Bluffs citizen has advanced new rea-
son for the biennial cherry crop. and
is confident he has discovered a rem
edy Explaining his theory to a meet
ing of the local horticultural society,
here Saturday his idea was generally
received with favor, and should the
present season prov. the truth of his
contentious new and profitable dis
covery will have been made in fruit
growing.
George Wilson, who has made a life
study of fruit growing, has come to
the conclusion that the reason cherries
are abundant only every other year is
because of the manner in which they
are picked. His theory is that when
the cherries are picked the buds for
the next years crop are pulled off with
the fruit. The method of picking cher
ries is to pull both stem and cherry
from the tree. eff you will notice a
basket of cherries in the market" he
says, you will see that part of the
bark of the limb is on the stem. Us
ually there are several cherries hang
ing together and if you will look close
ly YOU will find buds on the stems.
All other fruit leaves its stem on the
parent stalk. Plums, apricots, apples,
peaches, raspberries, and other fruits
drop off, or when picked pull off with
out bringing the stem with them"
Mr.. Wilson last season clipped all his
cherries from the trees with shears,
and this year the trees are full Of
bloom, promising an abundant yield.
His experiment is being watched with
interest.
