There is no country better worth Wis

Everywhere the distinctive features
are the church towers and tiled domes
rising above the towns. The exteriors
of these churches are always pictur-
esque and interesting. but the interiors
are usually disappointing, for they
have suffered much during many revo-

senseless renovations. There are

Breadmakina Wheat Test.

The Lonsmont millers are Jnbiiant

the best variety OF hard milling wheat
for Colorado use, says the corresponds
ent of The Denver News. The bread
making experiment has just been com
pleted at the State Agricultural COL
lege and the judges unanimously de.
cided on the New Defiance.
Five varieties OF wheat were in tn
contest: The new pCdigrced Defiance.
Minnesota No. 1863. New Zealand and
Colorado Nos. 80 and ~ ,boih Durumi. .
Five lOaves OF bread baked under tn
supervision OF Prof. Fritz knurr. were
tested for elasticity. texture. color
flavor and general appearance. IN"
new pediGrecd Defiance had the best ot
it on the majority of these points.
For years the bakers have dtscrimi.
mated against flour made from Colo
RADIO wheat because they claimed II
was deficient in gluten. but this test
efec,ually does away with that aIgu'
ment. The size OF the loaf made from
best Minnesota wheat was i5.%?. as
against i1.0S for the New Defiance.
This New Defiance wheat was de-
veloped from one seed, which WAS
brought to Colorado by Professor
Blount nearly twenty years ago. Only
about 800 bushels OF II is in cNistenc"
at the present time Through the ef'
forts of the Longmont Commercial AS
sociar ion a larger part of this amount
WIS secured and distributed in iifty
and hundred-pound lots among the
most experienced wheat growers in
the Longmont district. with distinct
understanding that special care was to
be taken in growing it this year. and
that not Il pound OF the wheat was to
be allowed to go ont OF the l.onGmont
district before the 1909 crop is har-
vested. when it is expected that Long
mont will have enough OF this new

Biu Wheat Story.

Wheat which harvests 200 bushels
to the acre and the grains of which
are more than twice the size of the
ordinary variety found in the wheat
belt is being introduced into Colorado
by Halsey NJ. Rhoads, special field
agent of the Department of Agricul-
ture, who discovered it growing in the
northern part of Idaho, says the Den
yer News. The history of the wheat
is as interesting as its great size and
the quantity of its yield.
Four years ago II young farmer gath
cred handful of white wheat from
a field in Alaska and brought 1t to his
farm In Idaho He had only seed
enough to SOW few acres. but the
following year the seed was used for
the expansion Of the crop. He will
plant next year 400 acres of the Alas
kan variety.
Samples of the seed will be sent by
Rhoads to the Agricultural College at
Fort Collins, and to the United States
Department Of Agriculture in Wash
ington for inspection and tests. 1t Is
said to have greater food value than
the blue stream wheat OF northern
Idaho.
