The introduction OF macaroni wheat
into the United States came about
through the pilgrimage to Europe and
Asiatic Russia in 1899 of Mark A.
Carleton, Of the Department Of Agri-
culture, (then the assistant in charge
of cereal investigation) He was sent
there by the Secretary of Agriculture
in order to gain all possible information
in regard to macaroni wheat and to
select such varieties as would probably
succeed in the great grain regions and
especially in semi arid portions where
the ordinary bread wheats were some
times at best but an Indifferent crop.

its products have been found by actual
experiments to equal if not surpass

come addition to the tables of the
American people while the introduc.
tion of the wheat into the Great Plains
region has proved an inestimable boon
to the farmers of the semi-arid belt,
from North Dakota to Texas.
While it may take some time to edu-
cate both producers and consumers to
its excellence and value it is believed
that macaroni wheat and its products
will give it high rank among standard
farm crops.

1905 cannot be accurately determined
at this time, estimates run from $4,000
900 to 100000 bushels-this is a
comparatively new crop in the United
States. Instead of importing macaroni
wheat for the purpose of manufac-
turing domestic macaroni, the United
States is now exporting annually about
100000 bushels to France and Italy
and ether European countries, for it
has been found by the manufacturers

The progress of the macaroni wheat
industry in this country may be under
stood when it is known that the first
crop of any considerable amount was
in 1901 when it was estimated that
from $4,000 to 10000 bushels were har-
vested In 1902 the yield was between
100000 bushels and 100000 bushels.
In 1903 nearly 1900, 600 bushels were
obtained while in 1904 the yield
amounted to nearly 100000 bushels.

north of the sea of Azov, already the
home of the best of macaroni wheats,
he found the climatic conditions ap.
proximately the same as those of our
Great Plains. He secured a number of
bushels of the best varieties of wheat
grown there and these wheats the De-
partment of Agriculture distributed to
growers in suitable localities, thereby
increasing the stock. The crop secured,
together with two fresh importations,

Great Crop for Northwest.
Since the Department of Agriculture
undertook the work, the production of
macaroni wheat in the northwest has
increased with astonishing rapidity.
Perhaps no other new crop has been SO
warmly welcomed by the farmers in
the regions suitable to it's growth. 1t
has been found splendidly adaptable to
the climatic and soil conditions of the
Great Plains region. 1t thrives in
abundant sunshine, does not require a
large amount of moisture, resists
vigorously all the smuts and rusts and
is strong grower, yielding far in ex-
cess os the ordinary bread wheat.
A peculiar property of macaroHi
wheat which makes it valuable for its
distinct uses is its protein or gluten
content.
In a general way the methods to be
employed in the cultivation Of maca-
roni wheats are similar to those re-
quired for the best results with any |
other wheats.
The first and most obvious use of
the macaroni wheat is the manufacture
Of macaroni, vermicelli and other
forms of edible pastes. At the present
line this country is importing these
largely, the importations
mounting to nearly 100000 pounds
annually with value of $1,250,000. IN
