AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
WESTERN LEAGUE,
WHEAT BUBBLE BURSTS.
Yield Instead of 200 Bushels Is 20
and Quality Poor.

An agent sent by the Department of
Agriculture to Juniata, Idaho, to inveSti
gate the present status of the so-called
Alaska wheat, said to yield over 200 bush
els per acre, made the following state
ment by wire: Alaska yielding twenty
five bushels per acre. Badly mixed. Grain
inferior. Quality soft and white. Ordi-
nary wheat yielding fully as much. Best
varieties more" An analysis made by
the Department of Agriculture shows that
Alaska wheat contains only a little more
than 8 per cent of protein, while soft
winter wheats average 10 per cent, hard
winter wheats y per cent and hard
spring wheats 1912 per cent.
