Melby Frazier, stock inspector for
this district, has caused the arrest of
two or three somewhat prominent cit
iZens of Eagle county for selling beef

in doubt concerning the provisions of
the law the section which Mr. Fraz-
Ter claims was violated is quoted
herewith

passage of this act, it shall be unlaw-

any, to the purchaser, and it shall be

Department of A Agriculture,
Office of the Secretary

o''iNS VI WIG to'''
Washington, d. c., Jan ii, 1903
Sir:-In response to the request in
your letter of January 4th. | will ans
wer the following questions concern
ing the cultivation of durum (macarO-
ni) wheat.
1. Can the same uses be made of
this wheat in manufacture into flour
as of the hard wheats of the northwest
of the United States?
The same uses can be made of the
wheat for making bread flour, and it
is, of course, very much better, in
fact, the only kind of wheat proper
for making macaroni.
Under favorable conditions for
raising this wheat what is the aver.
age number of bushels per acre pro
duced2
In North Dakota and South Dakota,
where at present most of this wheat is
grown, the yield averages twenty to
twenty five bushels per acre from year
to year. Other wheat on the same
ground averages twelve to eighteen
bushels per acre from year to year.
The important feature is that the
average yield is not influenced partic-
ularly by great extremes of climate
us in the case of other wheats Dur
ing the past season the ordinary wheat
in the Northwest was reduced in yield
fifty per cent over very lacge areas
and in many instances was totally
ruined by rust, while the durum
wheat continued to make very good
crop as in other years. The same can
he said as to the effect of extreme
drouth.
3. In your opinion is this wheat
destined to become IA factor of produc
tion and commerce in the United
StatesY
l can only say in answer to this
that every Indication up to the pres
ent time would warrant reply in the
affirmative. II is certainly true that
so far the wheat has increased in pop
ularity among grain dealers and mil
lers more rapidly than any other kind
of wheat at the time of its introduc
tion.
4. Has your department made ex
periments in any part of the United

WHO WILL BE-
THE GOVERNOR?
Majority of Investigation Commit
tee Sign Report fdvOring
Peabody Question Up to
Joint Committee
PEABODY CLAIMS A MAJORITY

The Adams Peabody contest will
probably not be decided before the
middle of next week although some
predict a final vote sometime tonight
As the Post goes to press John NJ
Waldron is making the opening ad
dress before the joint assembly.
As the reports now are signed, Pea
body has fourteen members of the COM
mittee, seven absolutely and seven un-
der reservation to change their vote if
they wish. Senators Dick. Barela.
Lewis and Robertson, and Represen-
tatives Thomas, Fetzer and Adamson
are absolutely for Peabody.
On the face of the report, Governor
Peabody has a majority of one in the
committee.
All members of the legislature ad-
init that the committee reports are
not of great importance as bearing on
the final result. This is taken to
mean that the issue will be fought out
entirely on its merits before the Joint
assembly,
Peabody's friends claim that ON a
joint ballot the ex-governor will have
fifty six votes or seven more than the
number required to elect
The latest information from Den
Yer is to the effect that Peabody $
chances are better than at any time
during the past three or four weeks.
However, everything depends upon the
vote of the Legislators and no one but
the members of the two houses them
selves know how they will vote, and it
is said that some of them are not yet
even certain of their own votes. The
strain is becoming more and more in
tense and all will welcome the final
determination of the contest.

Meeting of Farmers Club

The Farmers club of Eagle, Pitkin
and Garfield counties met at the court
house in Glenwood last Saturday and
after getting quorum together pro
ceeded to business. 1t was the regu-
lar annual meeting for the election of
officers and so well had the officers of
the cluD performed their duties last
year that they were unanimosly re-
elected for 1905 The officers are w.
II. Harris, president, q, w. Hoover,
secretary and George H. Bell, treas.
urar.
E.. H. Grubb adv"nced an idea in
regard to the district fair that the club
will act upon. His idea is to have
the entry blanks printed at once and
ask the farmers of the three counties
to make their entries now and the
grow the produce to fit the entries. IL
AT the suggestion of Mr.. Grubb the
premium list will he revised to give
exhi bitors of live stock better chance
to show their fine stock.
Before the meeting adjourned ar
rangements had been made to hold a
farmers institute at Glenwood March

AT the preliminary hearing of Berg
Miller and James Baker before Justice
Witten last Wednesday both defend
ants We're discharged. The testimony
of the prosecution was disconnected
and in some instances contradictory
and of such an uncertain character as
to render conviction before the dis
trict court quite improbable. The
evidence tended to show that wnat
Miller did was in self defense as Doz
ri at the time of the cutting had Mil
Ter down and was handling him quite
recklessly and as for Baker there
seemed to be no evidence against MIN.
1t is probable that the unfortunate
mixup will prove lesson to all par

States raising wheat, and with what
sucCessY
We have made, and are making
numerous experiments in many local.
ties, largely in cooperation with the
state experiment stations, and these
experiments have been constantly fol
lowed with success so long as the
wheat has been grown in localities
where adapted and its cultivation
carried on in the proper manner
.. In Your opinion what part of
the United States is probably adapted
for raising this wheat, and Why
The entire state of South Dakota
where anything can be grown at all;
all of North Dakota, except the ex-
treme eastern portion Immediately
along the Red River of the North;
all of Kansas and Nebraska west of
the ninety eighth or ninety ninth me
ridian: eastern Colorado; nearly all
of Oklahoma, the Texas panhandle
and western Texas in general; all the
states, the Palouse country of eastern
Washington, western Idaho and
northeastern Oregon. Still other To-
calities are perhaps adapted, the
adaptation of which is not yet made
certain. These districts are adapted
simply because they are semi arid or
even sometimes arid, which is the
climate required by this wheat for its
best development, because the sol is
generally of the proper kind, being
black clay loan of good depth. and
the seasons are hot with much sun
shine.
Other information that may be of
usa to you not here given will be
found in our Bulletin No Macaroni
Wheat, and in Bulletin No 20, The
Commercial Status of Durum Wheat,

one seemed to think that he was
suffering from what would prove his
last Illness
Senator Wolcott was accompanied
in his travels by his brother Henry
r. Wolcott, the member of his family
with whom he had most closely asso-
ciated throughout this business and
professional career.
Recently Henry Wolcott and the
attending physicians decided that the
patient would receive much benefit
from the climate at Monte Carlo, and
accordingly, the two brothers repaired
to that beautiful health resort in the
south of France. Senator Wolcott
made brave attempt to regain mis-
health but in vain. Complications
set in and the skill of the most noted
of the European physician could not
ward off the dread messenger All
that medical skill could do proved
unavailing.
The body will be taken to Paris for
cremation at Pere La Chaise. The
ashes will be forwarded to the United
State and it is yet undecided wheth-
er they are to to be taken to the old
home in Massachusetts or whether
they will rest in Colorado soil in con
formity to Mr.. Wolcott's desire ex-
pressed some years ago.

Senator Taylor Introduces Bill In
Senate Providing for a New
Water District

Senator TAYLOR has introduced sen
ate bill No. 1856 providing for a new
water district to consist of all lands
warered from Roam creek This bill
is in accordance with an agreement
reached by the boards of commission
ers of Mesa and Garfield counties ana
it is believed will do away with the
trouble which has recently existed by
reason of disputed boundaries and
consequently disputes as to the obli-
cations of each county. The bill as
it passed the senate is as follows:
Section The boundaries of Wa,
ter District No. 30 are hereby defined
to include all the tributaries of Grand
river on the north side thereof from
the mouth of the Roaring Fork river
westerly to the state line and shall
consist of all lands Ling in the state
of Colorado, irrigated by any and all
such tributaries, excepting Roam
creek, and its tributaries, and all
lands irrigated thereby and except
ing also all lands lying in Mesa coun.
ty. The said Water District No 30
shall include only all the lands in
Garfield county, above described, and
which are not irrigated from Roam
creek or any of its tributaries.
Sec. 9. That Water District No.
10 shall consist of all lands irrigated
by water taken from Roam creek and
all its tributaries situated within the
counties of Garfield and Mesa, in this
State, and also all lands in Mesa
county situated north of Grand river
and east of Roam creek
