1t is important to carefully determine
the amounts of water that should be
given to a wheat crop and the times
during the period of growth when 1t
should be applied. This question is
the subject of an investigation which
is being conducted in cooperation
with several of the western states
where irrigation is practiced and IA
cilities exist for irrigating with definite
amounts of water at stated periods

self. 1t is therefore of the utmost
importance. in order to retain our
foreign markets and maintain our
commercial supremacy and national
reputation as producers of high-grade
wheat that the closest attention be
paid not only 10 the production of
high-yielding wheats. but also to the
cultivation OF varieties having a high
protein content. with a view to grow
ing wheats which combine these two
characteristics-high gluten content
and large yields.

variety and the conditions under
which it Is grown. 1t is somewhat
poorer in gliadin than the best bread
wheats. Like other good varieties of
wheat, durum or hard wheat Is one
of the most nutritive and healthful
OF human foods, containing as 1t does
protein and nonnitrogenous substances
liz almost the ideal ratio for main
tanning the body in a normal condi,
tion, the gluten (protein) being used
in repairing waste body tissue and
the fat, starch, etc. fnonnitrogenous
substances), furnishing the heat and
energy required by the system. On
account of its highly glutenous nature
it is extensively used, especially in
Italy and France. in the manufacture
of macaroni, vermicelli and other ed.
ible pastes. For this reason it has
been called "macaroni wheat" There
is likewise n growing demand for
durum wheat on the part of millers
here and abroad, both for making
straight durum flour and for mixing
with the softer apd less glutenous va
rleties in order to improve the quality
of -four, making these wheats, there.
fore, valuable as bread wheats.
Prof Shepard of South Dakota has
recently issued report on durum
wheat, in which it is shown that Ku-
banka contains less bran than Red
Fife, that more -four is made from
Kubanka, and that the flour contains
a larger amount of the proteid of the
wheat than does -four. made from
northern spring wheat. Baking tests,
however, show that spring whett
makes a larger loaf and contains a
larger amount of gliadin in the gluten
than is the case with Kubanka wheat.
Taking II all in all, however Prof.
Shepard states that "for the yield,
hardness, -four yield, protein distribu-
tion, and the quality Of both bread and
macaroni, durum wheat. especially
KubaHka, is to be recommended for
general use"
Durum wheat grown in Algeria con
tains only from to 10 per cent. OF
water. Common wheat grown in coun-
tries adapted thereto contains from
10 to 16 per cent. of water, according
to the moisture of the atmosphere
The difference IN the water content
was sufficient to make the French Of
ficials investigate the adyisability OF
buying wheat from dry-land regions
which wheats would contain less mois
ture, and thus not only large saving
would be made in the cost Of transpor
tation, but more wheat per bushel
would be actually obtained.
AS climate is the great factor In in
fiuencing the composition of crops
and az we are powerless to change
1t In any way. it devolves upon us to
make as wise selection Of our grains
as possible. choosing those which are
more apt to resist the unfavorable
elements. Though we can not control
rainfall, we are able in irrigated dis
tricts to determine how much water
a crop shall receive by irrigation. As
excessive irrigation tends to change
the hard, finty durum into soft
mealy grain, thus robbing 1t of its
most important physical characteris
tic, as we'll as lowering its nitrogen
content below that Of true durum

At the annual meeting of the Massa-

Pittsield in December the automobile
laws of the state will be up for discus
sion. Senator Morse of Belchertown, a
member of the grange, believes that
there is great deal of misunderstood
Ing between those who ride in autos
and the farmers, and he proposes that
the grange appoint committee of ten
or twelve to confer with a like com
mittee from the State Automobile as

satisfactory to both can be drawn up,
and II this can be done a petition Will
be presented to the Massachusetts leg

ton. Senator Morse thinks there

enacted that will be satisfactory to
both If the parties can unite in their
views as to what should be done.
