NEW PURE FOOD BILL.
House Committee amends Senate
Measure-Orders FAVORABLE Report.

Washington. March 5.-After a conference
lasting more than eight hours to-day the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce agreed on a pure food bill which will be
favorably reported to the House. In many
spects it is like the Hepburn bill passed by the
Senate, and the committee agreed to let It have
the name and number of that measure. but
amended 1t by adding provisions Of the
Hepburn bill and suggestions of members OF the
House committee.
Only three members OF the committee. Repre-
sentatives Adamson and Bartlett. of Georgia
and Russell of Texas. opposed the bill They
announced their intention to prepare a minority
report the ground that the measure is an as
sumption Of the police powers of the states by
the national government. Representative Mann.
Of Illinois, will prepare the majority report.
One OF the most vital amendments to the Hey
buri bill is a provision that in fixing standards
OF products for the guidance of officials charged
with administering food laws the Secretary OF
Agriculture shall also consult the committee on
food standards of the association OF state dairy
and food departments.
In the amended bill il is provided that when
any person or manufacturer desires to have the
Wholesomeness OF any preventative or other
substance added to foods passed on the Secre-
tary of Agriculture shall name a commission of
scientists. consisting of toXicOlogiSt, one
physiological! chemist. one bacteriologist, one
patholoEist and a fifth scientist whom the Sec
rotary may regard as qualified, to assist him
in reaching a decision. The committee believes
this means of fixing standards and determining
wholesomeness will remove many objections of
fered by manufacturers to having the power too
greatly centred in DR. Wiley the chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the Department of Agri-
culture.
Another amendment OF great interest to the
whishCy interests provides that articles shall
not he regarded as nishranded if they are so
labelled TO indicate they compounds or
blends provided that the term blend as used
herein shall be construed TO mean mixture OF
like substances, not excluding harmless colOring
favoring ingredients" The words mot ex-
Guiding harmless coOring favOring ingredi-
ents'' designed TO exempt blended whiskey
from the penalties of the act.
The committee granted Representative Lover
ing. Of MasSa chusetts, permission to prepare an
amendment concerning the amount Of alcohol
or opium which may he used in patent medicines
with the understanding that il win be considered
by the entire committee tomorrow and acted
on as though introduced earlier

The efforts Of the Department Of Ag
riculture not only contemplate the In
PRODUCTION into the United States OF
improved plants and crops from foreign
countries to take the place of those
which American farmers are already
growing, and the breeding up and bet
tering of those which we now have; but
also the introduction of plants onto
great areas of country now thought to
be unfit for farming
Encroachment Is constantly being
made upon the waste places of the
land; the semi-desert and the low
places, by the introduction of crops
which, through long years and centu-
ries of accimatization i'm similar
regions of the Old World, have become
either drouth or water resistant.
A striking example of this sort of
work, which has already proven high
success, is the introduction of the maca-
roni wheat plant, or, as 1t is more
properly called, durum wheat.
To Establish Macaroni Factories.
1t was Secretary Wilson's idea ut
first to introduce the culture of this

States will grow it because it is a splen-

rather have to grind it," Moreover, he
intimated that the millers were at lib
erty to go right ahead and fire him.
Year before last some six million
bushels of this durum or macaroni
wheat was grown; last year the crop
had increased to about eleven million
bushels and the present crop is esti-
mated by Mr.. Carleton at from twenty
to twenty-five million bushels.
But the industry has but barely
started.

VARIOUS KINDS OF DURUM WHEAT.
ers found arrayed against them the
whole combination of Northwestern
millers, who said that the wheat was
poor. made only inferior flour and
would not make edible bread. But the
farmers had the Department of Agri-
culture back of them, and Mr.. Wilson
had his own conviction about durum
wheat and Northwestern millers. and,
moreover, he had the courage to back
them up. The trouble with the millers
was that with the milling apparatus
which they used for grinding ordinary
No. | Red, they could not grind the
harder durum, and so they forced the
price of wheat down in the market and
threatened to have Secretary Wilson
removed unless he stopped advising
farmers to grow durum wheat. The
Secretary, it seems, held his job. and
the farmers had faith in him and con-
tinued planting durum wheat to the
extent of several million additional
acres each succeeding year.
Forced the MiIlers to Terms.
II am thinking the millers will come
around to grinding durum wheat" lie
