TESTED FOR GLUTBN
Results from Eighty-Six Sam
pies of Washington Wheat.
Statement by Chemist OF washing
ton Agricultural Expert
ment Staten.

There have recently appeared in sey-
eral OF the papers of this county articles
advertising prizes for different variet -
OF wheat exhibited at the Whitman
county lair, In which the statement ia
made that the Chemists of the Pullman
College have found that next to blue
stem wheat, red Russian was found to be
the highest IN the test Of gluten. The
adthoT OF this statement has evidently
oeen mlslniormed az 70 the results of the
tests made under my direction during
the past year, and in order that no in
cOrr,c impression in regard to this
matter may become circula sed among
the wheat growers of the county. | wish
to issue at this time the following state
ment;
The experiment station commenced
last year thorough study of Washing
ton wheats and wheat production. Thi.
includes, OF course study of the mill
ing values of the wheats as they are now
grown. Last fall we collected SAMPLES
representing as completely az possible all
the varieties which are now being grown
in the state, and each Of the several
wheat producing sections. In all, a total
OF SO samples were collected, comprising
10 different varieties and coming from
20 different shipping points in the state.
Each OF these samples was analyzed: n
part of it was then milled in an experi-
mental roller mill and the percentage
yield OF flour, bran and shorts determ-
Ined; next the amount of moist and dry
gluten which the -four would Weld was
ascertained; sponge and baking tests
were made on 30 of the samples of -four.
representing the best, medium, and DOOR
est hours OF each OF six varieties Of
grain; and finally, the feeding value of
the bran and shorts from each OF the So
samples OF grain was estimated. The
results OF all this work have been pre-
pared for publication as bulletin Of the
experiment station, which ia now in the
hands OF the printer and will be sent
free to all who desire it as soon as il il
printed
The amount Of moist gluten which the
flour will yield is commonly accepted as
the best measure OF the value of any
wheat for milling purposes Other things,
such as the quality of the gluten. the
color Of the -four, the ability of the -four
to absorb and hold the proper amount
OF moisture in baking, etc, are to be
considered in Judging Of the quality of
wheat. But generally those wheats
which produce strong -four, i. e. -four
which contains comparatively large
amounts of gluten producing ingredients,
are apt TO be good in other qualities, or
can be easily improved in these by blend
lag with other wheats in milling. Hence
high gluten percentage is the first con
sideratiOn to be desired in a good mill
ing wheat.
The results Of the gluten tests on the
1855 samples of wheat we're as follows,
EXPRESSED in the usual terms of "moist

The Republicans of Stevens county
in the caucuses last Saturday and in
the convention on Wednesday gave
VIM. @. Bicknen a magnificent en-
dorsement.
His ticket was elected in both wards
of the city of Morris by decisive ma
jorities, and the returns from the
country precincts were also fattering.
For the most part, the contest was
not prosecuted as vigorously in the
country as it was in Morris, and in
some of the country precincts there
was no contest at all, in some places
a compromise delegation being sent
in and in other places NO contest be-
ing made iby either one side or the
other.
1.-THE Bickneu men made a straight
out fight, but in Morris especially,
Mr.. Bicknell's endorsement is doubly
significant in that he won against the
personal work of such popular field
workers as DR.. Caine in the first ward
andAlderman Lund in the second ward.
DIR. Caine and II. B. Lund made fine
run, but. they were carrying too much
weight.
The action~o the caucuses and of
the convention is magnificent en-
dorsement for Mr.. Bicknell whichever
way you look at it. The test vote in
the convention stood 81 to %, and the
popular vote in the various precincts
gives majority for Mr.. Bicknell's
friends of 6S in spite Of the small vote
cast. Following is the vote in the
various precincts

st. Paul, June Stanford Swanson,
twenty-eight years old, an apprentice

the men noticed that wire had been
blown down and was lying across the
tracks. The wire was blazing and
sputtering and the motorman ordered
Swanson to remove it.
Swanson boldly walke up to the
wire and, apparently ignorant of the
danger, picked it up in his hand. He
fell instantly and before several by

The County Convention


The county convention was called
| to order Wednesday afternoon by
Chairman George Beise.
! It was surprise to all when the
, first test vote came on the simple
motion to dispense with the reading
of the call. The vote stood 81 to %,
and this was the vote on every other
motion except as it was varied by
delegates on one side Or the other be-
ing absent or neglecting to vote.
After the reading of the call was
dispensed with, w. L. Colyer and P.
G. Larson were nominated for tenn
porary chairman. P. G. Larson
wanted committee on credentials
appointed before the vote was taken,
and it took some time for Chairman
Beise to explain to him that there was
no roll of the convention from which
to appoint a committee on credentials,
and that a convention must always
forganize with temporary officers first.
He then wanted the vote to be taken
by ballot, but the convention favored
the rising vote, and by rising vote Mr..
Colyer, the Bicknell candidate was
made temporary chairman. Fred
Fowler was nominated for temporary
secretary, and his nomination being
seconded by the Bicknell delegat tes.
Mr.. Fowler has the honor of having
received the only unanimous vote of
the convention, faring better than
President Roosevelt and Senator
Nelson.
Mr.. Colyer appointed L. J. Ross,
