Similar experiments with oats, corn
and rye are being conducted at thc
Minnesota experiment station, and
also at the stations in North and South
Dakota and Iowa, all Of which have
been under the general supervision Of
Professor Hays, as the representative
Iof the agricultural department. The
results of the experiments with these
cereals have not yet reached a stage
where anything con be said about
them, but little doubt is expressed that
ultimately one or more varieties OF
each will be produced which will give
at least.Io per cent increase in yield.
In all his interviews about wheat
production, Secretary Wilson has tried
Ito impress upon the wheat farmers the
one branch OF study and experiment
which Professor Hays took up during
the last two or three years of his ac-
tive connection with the university
school. He is still professor OF agri-
culture at Minnesota, though on leave

But SO far as can be learned it is 4
case of business and not bluff.

to indorse this decision, because, hav-
ing given congress every opportunity
to. give contrary direction, he felt
that the very terms Of the canal bill
provided that the ditch should be con
Istructed at the lowest possible cost.
While there was strong sentiment
in congress last winter in favor Of Inn
|iting the construction Of the canal to
American materials, products and la
Dor, no vote was ever taken on the
several pending propositions,
The reason for this was that it would
