Durum, Il Spring Wheat for
Dry Farming III Colorado.

Two years ago, the Colorado
Experiment Station, co operating
with the u. Is. Department of Ag
ricu'lure, sent seed durum wheat
fMacaroni) to care II farm
ers we'll distributed over eastern
Colorado where dry farming is
practiced.
Miilers of Colorado urge farmers
in the irrigated grain regions of
the state to grow Defiance as their
spring wheat and Turkey Red as
winter wheat, since these give
most satisfactory milling returns.
l, is believed durum wheat is
not adapted Tor wet farming con
dilions. but that il can be success
fully grown in many parts OF our
semi arid lands where other wheat
cannot be grown This will add
many thousand acres to the wheat
acreage of Colorado.
1T has been demonstrated that
profitable Yields can be obtained
from durum wheat when the seed
bed is carefully prepared en- the
thorough tilluge system. Many
farmers wish seed durum this
coming season and and it seems
desirable to obtain good quality
seed, from which satisfactory har-
vest results may be reasonably
expected,
The Agricultural Section Of the
Experiment Station is in CORE
sDondence with parties having
good quality OF pedigreed kuban
ka durnm for sale. There are hi
teen varieties Of durum glown in
this country U. S. J, but kubanka
durum has good milling qualities
and seems we'll adapted to our
Colorado conditions.
The Station proposes to procure
this seed at as reasonable rate as
possible and sell it a, cost to farm
ers " ho desire durum seed wheat.
y small acreage is recommend
ed for the first season. Under
dry farming conditions so to 60
pounds is sufficient to seed am
acre. This should be sown with
Il drill on thoroughly pulvelized
well firmed soil as early in the
spring AS climatic ana soil con
Gi,ions will permit.

PLACE TO TAKE PRESENTS

REPRESENTATIVE GRIGGS of Georgia
N employs a colored youth who is not a
shining example of mental alertness.
Recently this servant, who shall be called
Tom, received an invitation to a church
wedding, the bride-elect being a first cousin
Of his.
The morning of the ceremony found Tom
in state of great excitement. He started
for the church some hours before the time
set for the great event.
Griggs CHANGED to meet Tom wandering
about clad in his showiest raiment, and carry
ing a small bundle under his arm.
Tom he said, why on earth are YOU
scurrying about dressed like that this early
in the morning."
"Why, Use gettin ready for de weddin',
sahi' replied Tom reproachfully.
"Indeedr' said the Congressman And |
suppose you doing some errand on the
way"
No, sab, amt dom no errun's."
But you're not going to wedding with
a bundle under your ARM"
"Certny | is, sah," replied Tom, look

you mustn't take your present to the church;

built himself little stone dog kennel
not far from another village. Rainbow
the interpreter found him there in
parlous condition, but took him out to
the reindeer-purchas station, where
he found refuge for a time. He said
that he was Il native of kiel, Germany,
and had started for the place overland.
I he only thing that he feared was
penal servitude for being a vagrant in
Siberia.
= No one in the Arctic takes this sort of
tramp seriously; but there is another
class that is really insane, and against
these one must be on his guard. 1t is
not the abuses of the life, nor change
of latitude, nor endless night, that affects
these people, but the continuous and fire.
quent changes from low to high tenn
perature, and the reverse. The fireman
goes from the heat of his furnaces to the
deck, where it is cold, then goes back
again. There seems to be something
abou this that upsets the brain, and
the man is likely to go hopelessly in
sane.
Such as can be handled are put in
straight jackets and shipped down on the
first ship going that way, but as the
madness comes on suddenly they are far
more likely to jump overheard and be
drowned Each of the two years that
the United States steamship Thetis was
in the Arctic it lost two iremen in that
way, in spite of attempts to keep them
aboard Sometimes these lunatics escape
ashore, and sometimes the station cooks
go in the same way. One man may last
for a month over the hot stove in the
Arctic another for years-it is all a
question of temperament. Bishop Seghur,
ON the Yukon, was shot to death by a
crazy cook, and Bayne, in charge of one
of the Arctic MANIFESTATIONS was
poisoned by one, but recovered.
The winters at Point Barrow were
disturbed occasionally by these lunatics
among the tramps and their crazy shouts
and laughter added to the wild terrors
Of the wintry blasts One of them,
"Frenchy," had a mania for stealing
everything he saw, and this in the
following summer led to his capture.
One day, finding the natives at the Point
Belchcr village all gone on a hunting trip,
"Frcnchv" crafty proceeded to loot the
whole village He built a driftwood raft
pn the beach, and loaded it with spois
of all sorts from the igloos. Whittier he
hoped to escape with all this no man
may know, but his operations were
brought to an abrupt end by Big
George" Dane employed at one of the
stations He kicked the raft to pieces,
and after a hard struggle captured
'Frenchy" and tied him up. When the
Bear came along Frenchy was put aboard
her for safe keeping,
These days must have been fraught
with conflicting emotions for the EsBimos
at Point Barrow. The whalcrs were
there at their station, the tramps were
abroad, and there was a newly arrived
Presbyterian missionary. The teach
ings of the missionary, the everyday
horse-sense and rough manners of the
whalers, and the antics of the tramps
and lunatics who were SO prevalent, must
have filled the native mind with strange
and conflicting ideas as to the beauties
of civilization, and which they thought
to be the true representatives OF
Boston" culture is a problem to

ship bucking ice nor OF vessel passing
fleet in that region without speaking
One after another the Captains went
aboard the Bear and asked her officers
if they had seen the stranger; but the
watch on the cutter had not, and the
officers thought that they were being
made the victims of a practical joke
A year before a tramp steamer had
hove-to near the shore of St. George. one
of the Seal Islands Some men went
ashore on the opposite side from the
warehouse and built a | ig fire. The ware
house Waterman went over to see about
this fire, and while he was gone men
from the steamer broke into the building
and stole seven thousand dollars worth
of valuable seal skins. Nothing ever was
seen OF men or steamer afterward.
At the MANIFESTATIONS there was at
this time fifteen thousand pounds of
bone, worth three to five dollars pound,
and Kelly and Brewer, who were ashore,
saw this steamer go by, and had visions
Of the theft of their bone. They went
aboard the Bear and stated their fears,
and the ship was Immediately put full
steam on the wake of the stranger The
Bear is an eight-knot craft, and under
open-water conditions could not be eX-
pccted to overhaul a siXteenknot boat;
but the supposed pirate found the ice
that the whalers could not penetrate too
thick to be brushed aside and too rough
to slide over, SO it turned back.
Captain Healy put the Bear athwart
its course and stopped it. 1t proved to
1,a old ctr hot hoI
for yacht by Maryland sportsman, and
he was on his way to hunt polar bears.
At Icy Cape, many miles below, Emily
the Orca man " had gone aboard and told
him that she was right from Point Bar
row, whence she had been driven because
the ice there was alive with polar bears.
1t was a great desire to get in first
among these bears that had led the
Captain of the stranger to steam full
speed by the Bear and through The whal-
ing fleet without the courtesy of salute,
as if bound for the North Pole on a
wager.
The first ship going south took Emily
aboard, and the Orca man" perpetrated
no more jokes on the Arctic fleet.
Such is the hobo in the arctic, and to
earnest students of tramp life | recon-
mend him. Probably here WyckoH or
a Flynt might find many new and inter
esting side-lights on the life of the
wouldn't-be laboring man and the char
acter of those people who seem to want
work and are afraid they will get it.
These people of the far North are a
variant of the type already exploited,
and | heartily recommend trip from
Point Barrow to Honolulu by way of
Boring Straits and Kamchatka as one
that could not fail to be productive of
much interesting copy.
