NEW WHEAT TYPE.

NEW WHEAT TYPE.
A Cereal That Promises Increased Yield
for the Northwest.
The St. Anthony Park experiment
station has produced new spring
wheat type that promises much in in
creased yields for the northwest. 1t
is known as Minnesota No. 1888. Ex-
pectation is that it will show general
results better than the noted varieties,
Nos. l63 and 1859, put out by the sta
tion in 1889 and 1902, and which are
known to nearly every farmer. The
station has experimental with the new
type for eleven straight years, from
1895 to 1905, inclusive. It has been
found to yield higher than any other,
the average for the period being 1887
bushels, compared with 27.5O for Min
nesota No. 1859, and 27.57 for No. 1853.
Comparative yields of other we'll
known varieties are: Haynes blue
stem, 24.12; Powers fife, 24.39.
Any farmer who desires to try the
new seed may obtain information
regarding it by writing to the station.
The original seed of Minnesota No.
1873 was obtained from Professor Will
liam Saunders of Ottawa, Can, in
1895. It was Immediately sown in the
field test plots at the university farm,
and has remained in these trials since
that time in comparison with the best
native and improved varieties. This
variety Of wheat is cross between
white fife and Ladoga, the crossing
having been effected by Professor
Saunders. Ladoga is bearded,
smooth chaff wheat, noted for its
early maturing quality. White fife is
one Of the common wheats in the
Canadian wheat district.
Minnesota No. 1873 is bearded,
smooth chat wheat, with short spikes
and light red chaff. The straw is
short and stiff and not inclined to
lodge as easily as the straw of the
ranker growing blue stem wheats.
The plants are inclined to stool ex-
tensively. The grain ripens about
eight to ten days earlier than the
Minnesota fife and blue stem wheats,
and for this reason unusually escapes
the destructive ravages of black stem
rust. Wheat suffers the greatest dam
age from. the black stem rust, that
spreads so rapidly just previous to
harvest. Early maturing varieties
may be cut before. the black stem rust
has developed far enough to choke the
plant and cause shriveled grain.
The color of the grain is a deep
amber red, very similar to that OF the
best grades of red winter wheat: - The
milling and four-making properties
of Minnesota No. 1873 have Been tested
by Professor Harry Snyder, chemist
of the Minnesota experiment station,
and by the -four experts of several of
the Minneapolis roller mills. These
tests showed that the flour from Min
nesota No. 1888 contained larger per
cent of gluten than flour from the
standard wheats, Minnesota No. 1859
and Minnesota No. 1853. The gluten.
however, was somewhat softer and
slightly off in color. The dough ex-
banded we'll and gave loaf of equal
duality with, loaves baked from flour
of Minnesota No. 1863 and Minnesota
No. 1853. The Quality of the flour
from Minnesota No, 1873 is therefore,
on the whole, above criticism. ii

together with her husband, came to
Princeton in 1860 and settled upon
the homestead where she died. At
the time she came to this part of the
country it was but little better than
a wilderness. She was twice married,
her first husband being D. G. Slater,
who died in 1865. Her second hus-
band, G. J. Pinkham, is still living.
Four children we're born of the first
union, one of whom is dead, and those
living being William, Charles and
Clinton Slater, all residents of Prince
ton. OF the second marriage were
born Mrs. O. M. Mitchell of Princeton
and Mrs. E. E. Woodwork of St. Paul.

FIRE AT GREENBUSH.
FRANK Bla1r's House and Greater Part of
Furniture Consumed

Frank Blair's House and Greater Part of
Furniture Consumed.
On Thursday night at $3.50 Frank
Blalr's house in Greenbush took fire,
supposedly from the kitchen stove,
and the building, with most of the
furniture contained therein, was de-
troyed.
The family, with the exception of
Mrs. Blair, had retired for the night.
She discovered the fire, and when she
did SO it had attained such headway
that it was impossible to check it. A
small portion of the furniture was
saved and the inmates escaped with
their lives.
The house was insured in the Glen
dorado Farmers Mutual for $500 and
the furniture for $10O. The loss was
yesterday adjusted by o. II. Uglem
and John Wetter OF the insurance com
pany, and the full face value Of the
policy will be paid.
Mr.. Blair will rebuild as soon as
material can be got upon the ground.

Before an audience that filed the

and Robert O.. Jones debating for the
freshman class OF the University of
Idaho, received tho decision by vote
of two to one on the subject, "Rtsclved,
That the United States Should Sub.

contest was spirited throughout and it
was the normal's debate until new
plan of dealing with the merchant mar
inc was advocated by Mr. Jones. Homer
l., Peterson, Lee. G. Fluharty and q.
Hartwell Krengel, the normal trio,
presented the affirmative in clear, con
else manner that won them much praise.
The decision Of the judges, Mr. James e

The debate was opened by Mr.. Peter

Inability to handle large acreage of

help be employed, also prohibits this
practice on very extensive scale, yet
the system is being practiced to some
extent in the wheat counties of the state
and for particular cases may be quite
widely used.

made into hay will be Profitable. espsc-
tally 10 those southern and central coun.
ties OF tho State where oats are grown.
On soils lacking in humus, and thus
needing nitrogen this practice of plow
ing under would be especially desirable
and would usually much more than pay
for the seed and labor. They may also
be sown broadcast in corn just before
the last cultivation aud plowed in with
good results. In this case the amount
of growth will depend upon the mois-
ture in the ground in late summer and
before the rankness of the corn, but ex-
periments at the Station have demon.
strated that the pratice is worthy OF
trial on thin soil. They may be pas.

ply allowed to fall down and add humus
and nitrogen. They are most readily
sown broadcast in the COIL AS mention

putting them in with one horse drill.
The variety most commonly used for
the purpose of soil renovation is the
Whippoorwill, although the New Era is
its equal over central Missouri, and as
it is earlier it is better in the northern
counties. The Clay is also very good
for lands that are rather thin. We are
fortunate in this State in having such
handy plant as the cowpea to which We
may turn for help as our lands get poor

Mr. Kincaid, who presented some ex.
cellent arguments. He advocated a
better plan than ship subsidy. He
stated that where the plan had been
tried in foreign countries it has failed.
OF tae $40 Japanese steamers, he argued
that only 80 have been subsidized. He
stated that in Germany that Hamburg
line succeeds better without subsidy
than the subsidized Lloyd line.
Mr.. Fluhsrty further upheld the
home team by some very good rebuttal
work. He proceeded to prove that the
condition OF American commerce was
such as to demand the subsidizing Of its
carriers in time Of peace, and that the
merchant marine was insufficient in time
OF var. He developed his subject by
Some very strong arguments 10 favor of
the subsidy. Mr. Mason. the second
speaker of the negative, attempted to
prove that subsidies have failed every
time they have deem tried in the United
States. He gave detailed account Of
the number of times that the plan has
been tried. lie stated that in subsi-
dizing a shipping line to Venezuela,
American exports fell from 4.7OO,O
tons to 2,700,O0o tons.
Mr.. Krengel, tho last speaker for the
affirmative discussed the classes that
would be benefited by subsidies. His
argument and delivery were very good.
In closing he summed up his side Of the
question as follows: "Ws have shown
that subsidies have proved success in
Eogla nd, France, Germany, Canada,
and japan. The second speaker on the
affirmative proved that the condition OF
the merchant marine demands subsidies,
and the last speaker that all classes
have been benefited by subsidies"
Mr. Jones speaking for the affirmative
advocated a better plan. He said:
"There is better plan than subsidies
for building up our merchant marine.
Discriminating duties upon foreign ships
would give eur ships great advantage.
There are today 100000 tons Of
American ships sailing under foreign
flags. Admit these ships to America
registry, upon condition that CORES
ship can be constructed in our shipyards
for each ship SO registered. Thus we
shall gain three million tons Of Shipping
without the expenditure OF single cent
and discriminating duties will put $780,
