seed bed should be well fined at the

should ordinarily be used for seeding

while the remainder of the, soil re.

Doubtless many farmers OIL, the
West believe that there is no market
for the durum wheats. As these
wheats are extremely hard, they can
not be milled with the ordinary mill.
ing machinery, and naturally, the
millers have objected very much to
the introduction of these wheats as it
might neceSsitate the purchasing of
new machinery or the going out Of
business. When the durum whea;s
were first introduced the farmer was
somewhat handicapped in,selling his
product as he did not have a market
at home. However, he will have 10
trouble now in disposing Of bis crop,
as there are many macaroni factories
in this country, which would be glad
to use the durum wheats rather than
the hard winter wheats, which are
much inferior for the manufacture of
macaroni. When the home market
is supplied there are numerous foreign
manufactures who would be glad at
any time to secure an increased sup.
ply, their output being limited by the
amount Of durum wheat available.
The spring wheats are not as we'll
adapted to Kansas and the southwest
as the winter varieties, hence the
agricultural department Of the Kan.
sas experiment station has undertaken
to breed a hardy winter variety Of
durum wheat. During the winter of
100000 only one variety survived

wheat per acre as the spring seeded
durum, aud will compare favorably
with the hard winter wheats The
results in favor OF the winter drum
wheat would be expected to he mucn
greater in the drum wheat section.
The accompanying plates will give
an idea of how western Kansas is
adapted to the growing of durum
wheat and other grains. Plate !,
shows a field OF drum wheat near
Colby, Kan, which averaged about
three feet three inches high and vas
Is mated to nave produced thirty
bushels of wheat per acre. Plate II,
shows another field Of durum wheat
which was grown on the Pomeroy
Model Farm, Hill City, Kans., The
average height Of this field vas about
three feet six inches, and should
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1906-07-27

North and South Dakota where the
spring wheats are grown extensively
the durum wheatS do very well, gen.
orally yielding four to five bushels
more, and often double that produced
by other spring wheats. The section
supposed to be best suited to the
growing of durum wheats in this
country includes North and South
dakota, western Nebraska, western
Kansas, eastern Colorado, western
Oklahoma, and western Texas.
Numerous trials of these wheats in
this region have proven them better
than the common wheats, generally
yielding as much during a wet year
favorable to other wbeats, and out.
ranking them on the average by five
bushels or more per acre.
There are many varieties of durum
wheats which have been imported in
to this country, the most common and
best yielding of which are the Ku-
banka, Gharnovka, Velvet Don,
Black Don and Arnautka. The
Kubanka is probably the best of
these.
Seeding should be done as early
as possible, just as soon as proper
seed bed can be prepared after the
frost is out of the ground in the
spring. The durum wheats mature
in Kansas and Nebraska several
days earlier than other spring wheats,
and at abont the same time as the
hard winter wheats. The early ma.
turity Of the durum wheats is doubt
less a decided advantage, as the
chances for avoiding the hot, dry
winds of summer, so prevalent on the
plains, are materially increased. 1t
is evident that the earliness of harvest
may be promoted by earllness in
seeding. The land may be plowed
in the fall Tin localities where this
would not subject the soil to too great
blowing by the winds), and if plowed
in the spring should preferably be
firmed again Immediately after pillow.
ing, by tine use of the surface packer,
the disc harrow weighted and set
straight, or by frequent narrowing
with the spiketooth harrow. The

the common whears have hitherto
been unsuccessful. The climate of
southern Russia is also noted for its
clear, dry atmosphere and its ex-
tremes In temperature, being very hot
in summer, and very cold in winter.
These conditions are much the same
except more severe, than those found
in vast belt xtending from north to
south throughout our country, and
reaching from one hundred ard
twenty five to two hundred miles On
either side of the Tooth meridian. 1t
is therefore reasonable to suppose
that the wheats which rave been
grown for hundreds of years under
such unfavorable conditions in the

the winter, and large per cent Of it
was winter killed. Several varieties
were again seeded in the fall of 1904,
all of which survived the winter in
good condition, and have produced
good crops. The winter of 1906 '06
was little more severe on this va
riety but large per cent Of the plants
have survived. BY growing these
varieties further north it is hoped that
varieties may be secured which will
survive any winter in Kansas. The
variety mentioned has matured with
the very earliest Of the hard and soft
winter wheats and twenty four days
earlier than the spring seeded durum
wheat. II a good stand survives the
winter it will yield twice as much
