which has lasted thir,y-onc years.
The case has been under the close
observation of medical experts during
the whole of that time. and by their
instruction liquid food was regularly
administered by n tube placed in tho
mouth of the sleeping woman.
At times It was believed that tho
woman was waking, and various
means were employed to restore her to
consciousness, but they failed.
She has now rcgaincd her senses.
but cannot be persuaded that she has
slept for years. A curious feature of
the case is that she remembers the in
cidents of her girlhood up TO tho timo
that she fell into the trance.
Her body is fairly well nourished.

Turkey Red Wheat.

This Is n bearded winter wheat that
has been grown. In the West with
greater success than any other win.
ter wheat that has yet been tested.
writes Prof. ". II. Ohlin OF the Colo.
RADIO Agricultural College. This wheat
originally came from one of the very
best wheat regions OF Russia. Some
years ago the Kansas experiment sta
titon tested nearly fifty varieties Of
winter wheat. II was found that Tur.
key Red wheat was one Of the best
yielding and most hardy varieties in
this experiment. The millers of Kan.
sas and Secretary Coburn of the State
Board of Agriculture imported n con.
siderable quantity OF this wheat for
seed purposes. 1t was well distributed
over the wheat area of the state and
proved to be very desirable milling
wheat, and the state OF Kansas is to.
day regarded as the greatest winter
wheat state In the Union.
Some OF the very best and purest
OF this Turkey Red wheat In Kansas
was brought into Nebraska by Mr.. S.
C. Bassett. secretary Of the State
Board Of Agriculture. This was grown
near Gibbons, Nebraska, this last year.
The agronomy department of the State
Agricultural College has been able to
secure 100 bushels Of this pure strain
OF the original stock of Turkey Red
imported from Russia by Secretary Co
burn and the millers OF Kansas. Fifty
bushels of this wheat has been placed
with the Lamar>Milling and Elevator
Company of Lamar, Colorado, to be
distributed in so to 200.pound lots to
the farmers desiring a good.sized seed
plot to furnish seed for the general
field next year.
