WHEAT "A

Fife Wheat at the Different
North Dakota Stations.
To n even partly acquainted with
the facts. it must be quite evident that
durum wheat has not had the attention
paid to it west of the Missouri river in
North Dakota that it has had east of the
Missouri river. 1t has been tried many
times in the west Missouri region since
its introduction but it has not come into
popularity as it has in the more eastern
portion of the state. Many farmers out
here have tried the wheat and have dis
carded it with the statement that they
could not make it pay with the dis
criminatory prices. Farmers farther
east. on the other hand. have gone
wildly enthusiastic over it and state
ments have been made that the growing
of durum wheat has practically doubled
the yield.
1t is well known that the durum wheat
that is being raised in this state came
from q region in Russia with a semi
arid climate and short hot summers. AS
the western portion of the state is drier
than the eastern portion, why then does
not durum wheat become increasingly
more popular as we pass from the Red
river west to Montana :? This is perhaps
not a difficult question to answer. There
is scarcely a doubt but what the quality
of the durum wheat does improve as we
pass westward from the Red river val
ley. The durum wheat of the Red river
valley has a short, rather soft berry and
quite a percentage of the grains are
starchy or white bellied. If this short,
starch wheat is brought to the western
part of the state and grown for but one
season then it entirely changes its char
acter. The berry becomes longer, horny
in character and amber in color. One
would not know that it was the same
variety of wheat. The man who was
buying durum wheat for macaroni pur-
poses would much prefer the hard horny
wheat to the soft starchy kinds. The
durum wheat experts in Marseilles,
France. objects very much to white.
bellied durum wheat. They like to buy
on a gluten basis, as Mr.. Cristadoro
tells US. and they find that the horny
grains contain the gluten.
Some old philosopher tells us that
there are three kinds of liars and those
that deal in..statistics are the liars of
the third degree. However. if one has
no particular theory that one is skirm-
ishing around to find evidence for, then
perhaps a few figures are not so bad.
They have been growing durum wheat in
Fargo since 1899. have the yields up
to and including the year 1906 except
the year 1905 when the yields were lost
through the flooding of the fields. The
rainfall l.gures are also at hand. The
average yield of all of the durum wheats
grown for the seven years was 28.4 bush
els per acre. The average yield for all
of the flies and blue stems for the same
period was 24.8 bushels per acre. We
have a gain of the durums over the flies
of 3.6 bushels per acre or an increase of
IA per cent. The average annual rain
fall for the corresponding period at
Fargo was 22.4 inches. Only n year.
1906, did it fall below 20 inches. With
the exception of the year 1900. l think
the wheat had all of the water it re-

because he said, IL exactly i'm line with what
other learned editors had said all along about
flying machines. He showed me a number
of statements In bound books to the same effect.
In fact, he said that the day Prof. LangeJ
made the miserable failure with the flying ma
chine near Washington he and his brother had
made a successful flight, and were highly eated
afterward at reading Scientific reports OF the
Langley failure. He said there were dozen
articles printed showing how utterly absurd 1t

out for myself something about them. But found
that IL was not easy matter to learn anything
about their machine although the boys them

having a flying machine doing "al sorts of
things as he expressed it, up on Huffman prairie
four miles above here.
He said the machine went UP into the air and
sailed around and around dozen times and then

We were aware here in the Office that cod
pie of "Old Bishop Wright's sons had been fool
ing with a flying machine of some kind and our
paper had even carried personal to the effect
that they had visited Kitty Hawk, N c.. for the
purpose of testing their apparatus. But none OF
us took the matter seriously and therefore did
not enthuse when farmer friend brought in
the startling information about the Huffman
prairie performance.
Next morning sent a reporter to the Wright
home to see the Wright boys and to get some
information about the flight" the day before
