1905 DURuM FINDS a STRONG MARKEr.

1905 DURun FINDS a STRONG MARKET.
@ The Durum wheat agitation has be-
come quite general and the subject is
receiving much discussion. Present
indications are that excellent success
with the current crop Of this wheat will
prompt an extraordinary acreage to
Durum next year. This is exactly as it
should be; for the opening Of the new,
market in Marseilles is an opportune
inducement to farmers to materially
increase the production Of their land as
well as to increase its value and profit.
The work has reached very favor
able stage in the states where the move
nent has been pushed ever since its
origin and other states are opening new
fields continually. The state of Colorado
+ rapidly forging to the front as an
advocate Of Durum. At the present
time the work in Colorado is about as
far advanced as it was in North Dakota
two or three years ago. Much excel
lent work is being done by the Agricul-
+ tural College of Colorado in assisting the
movement. and the production Of Durum
by the grain growers of the state has
becn very commercially begun.
