SEED WHEAT INSTRUCTION.

The seed wheat specials that have been
touring Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota have met with unexpected sue
cess. Farmers have turned out in large
numbers and have manifested an interest
that was gratifying to those having the
special trains in charge. The representa-
tives from the agricultural colleges IL
Illustrated their talks by charts and dia-
grams and the interest of the farmers
was such that they had to explain ev-
erything in detail. the farmers wanting
to know all about the varieties OF seed
wheat and their peculiarities. The MIL
waukee road. with a twelve-day run,
stopped at sixty points and called out
5000 farmers of the three states.
The 500 line is being met with the
same enthusiasm among the farmers, and
with good weather the attendance and in
terest has more than reached the ex-
pectations OF the officials. The first meet
ings were among the Russian farmers
about Wishek. These men are now get
ting ahead financially and are throwing
OFF the old fatalist ideas which have so
long hindered their progress. Much in
terest was taken in the lectures and the
practical exhibits of cleaning grain and
how to test termination, especially at
tracted their attention.
Many samples of grain have been eN-
amined by the agricultural experts and
its merits passed upon for seed wheat
purposes. Much good Will undoubtedly
result from this enterprise. While IL
may not be realized this year IL will set

Before the party left the Bismarck
yards Prof. Bolley commenced to investi-
gate the rust conditions on the grasses

ago. but the crop outlook this year is far
superior to that of last. Then we were
doing some export business. hardly any
now. and cash wheat, with all its claimed
scarcity, is practically drug on the mar
ket. The reason we are so near last year
prices now Is the great difference in the
crop outlook. The government last year
gave the April condition as only 76. 8, the
lowest of which we have any official rec
ord. and that is back in 1886, and yet IN
1904 we produced 325000.000 OF winter
wheat on an acreage some 100000 less
than is now under seed. In all of this
lies the reason wheat is now weak and
declining.
THE wheat situation in the northwest.

interests owns enough May wheat in this
market to put them in position to control
all the No ! northern wheat. and this is
what they are after. preferring TO grind
the No. ! northern to using lower grades,
as they have been doing all through the
crop. II would be possible for our stock
of No. / northern wheat between now and
May ! to be reduced to the neighborhood
of 100000 bu. which would not make
much of a load for the milling concerns
to take in and pay for at that time.

SEEDS FOR THE DRY REGIONS

The United States department of agri-
culture has agents in the dry regions of
foreign countries gathering new seeds and
information as to the culture of them for
experimental use in the semi-arid regions
or this country A report from one OF
these agents says:
I'VE are finding new plants from the
far table lands of Turkestan and the
steppes of Russia and Siberia which grow
iuxuriantly under such conditions OF
arldity that the crops OF the Mississippi
valley farms would wither and die as
though scorched by a sirocco. Macaroni
wheat affords a good instance OF a crop
which Is capable OF revolutlonizing the
values of tens of millions of acres of arid
land"
The macaroni wheat belt" said Mark
A. Carleton, cereal specialist of the bu-
reau OF plant industry, "extends on an
average the width of the United States
and from the 18th TO we'll beyond the 1O2d
meridian. with a general yielding capacity
for half OF this vast area of thirty bu per
acre and of the other half of fifteen bu. 1t
Is matter of millions of acres, then, for
this crop.
"Macaroni wheat will grow with ten
INCHES of rainfall and yield fifteen bu to
the acre where ordinary wheat is an abb
solute failure. This is two bu more than
the average wheat yield for the United
States. There are many other crops with
as great possibilities and which thrive on
but slight moisture, including splendid
forage plants"

CORN GROWING IN NORTH DAKOTA

Some interesting facts have recently
been published on the growing OF corn in
North Dakota In former years this state
was considered entirely out of the corn
belt, but later experiments have proved
that corn can be grown and matured in
the state and can be grown for fodder as
Tar north as Lake Winnipeg In 1908
North Dakota produced a little over 2,000 =
600 bu Of corn. The feeding value of this
northern corn is higher than for corn
grown farther south, as IL contains more
OF the expensive element of protein found
IN stock foods. The experiment station is
making every effort to produce early va
rieties of corn and has met with much
success. These early varieties are all
small, and II Is necessary to plant more
Kernels In a hill than with the larger va
rieties- At present there are few silos in
North Dakota, but as dairying becomes
more extensive silos are gaining in favor
The value of corn as a rotation crop is
well understood.
Prof. Shepperd writes: In years when
the rainfall is too light for small grain
corn land usually yields splendid crops Of
grain. despite the dry weather. In the sea-
son or 1900 when the entire northwest suf-
fered from a lack of moisture (more than
1T has during any other year In its his
tory), land which had produced a crop
OF corn the previous year gave 20 bu
wheat crop, while fields which had pro-
duced wheat for five or six years without
change. produced a yield of only four
to five bushels per acre. Corn has great
value in assuring a crop In dry seasons
for in such years high market price and
the certainty Of obtaining a crop means
much more to the grain grower than il
does in good seasons.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-03-27
GOOD SEED

The state experiment station is urg-
ing the use of seed wheat grown in the
state rather than to import wheat from
a distance that has been grown under
different climatic conditions. Another
danger in bringing in seed from other
localities is the introduction of noxious
weeds
In testing the terminating value of
rusted wheat the experiment station
has found the termination to be less than
that OF good seed and less than that from
the selected seeds of poor lots There
were enough localities that were unaf-
fected by damage last year to supply the
state with good seed, but the difficulty
Is that the people wanting seed do not
know of the localities where good seed
can be secured. so il is urged that farm
ers select for seed only the plump. ma
ture grain that is to be found in his low
grade wheat. BY so doing there is
gain, in hat the seed is adapted to the
soil and climate.
A farmer writing from Granville. n.
D.. says:
Now, whenever VIC hear anyone talk
us in mind of tie way Dick Mcclure ex-
perimented with frosted seed in 1885
Dick bought the best No / hard ne could
find and sowed il himself. Then he
watched his neighbor's crops. who had
sown frosted seed. Well. Dick raised a
raised crop tnat made debts. II you
pick out the small nubbins of corn for
seed and plant the smallest pot1toes,
what do you expect? Surely not the
prize winners from such seed and why
do We expect No. 1 hard from rejected
seed wheat? This country is all right,
the soil is the best there is. and the
climate is all right: but soil and climate
don't make a crop without the right
kind of seed. d.'-Mirket Record.
