RISKY BUSINESS.

We have noted as the days are
growing shorter that 1t Is the prac-
tice of many of the automobile driv-
ers to run their cars around the city
during the early part of the evening
without their lights lighted, and some
of them are not real particular as to
the speed they are running at.
We do not know whether the city
has an ordinance relative to this OF
not but it seems to us that If they
have not it would be very good policy
to enact one, and il they have to en-
force it, for there is likely to be
some one run down most any time
and then it Is too late to remedy the
damage. -. ,'. - !:

.DURuM WHEAT DAY.

" Not so many years ago the, agri-
cultural department of the govern
ment, in casting about for crops
suitable for the climate Of western
North Dakota and other states where
the soil was not SO heavy as other
wheat raising sections and where
the annual rainfall was lighter; came
upon durun, or what is commonly
known as macaroni, wheat. The plant
was harder than the ordinary strains
Of wheat, but the berry was as irich
or richer in nutriment, and the; wheze
was harder and resisted extremes of
temperature better than the ordinary:
strains Of fife wheat The planting Of
this grain in the! northwest has re-
suited In a large annual increase In:
the crop OF durum wheat and the mar
kets have come to recognize It as q
necessary part Of the crop for which
|proyision must be made. Owing to the
fact that 1T diRered somewhat from
the older kinds of wheat and In min
Ing some changes must be made from:
the ordinary machinery, the price has
been slightly below that for. the older
varieties Of wheat although the lower
price is not justified by any difference
in the nutritiye quality: 1T was sug-
gested at meeting OF the grain grow
ers of the state some time ago that
the way to bring the price Of durum5
up to where It should be- was to Gre
ate demand for durnm Hour, and liz
was suggested that day be set apart

Wheat Day" on which the people 81
the state generally should use du,rr-urm
flour TO the exclusion Of ordinary flour
and thus begin the movement for the
widening of the demand for5 this bro
duct IN accordance with the senH.
ment expressed by the grain growers.

INCREASING THE WHEAT YIELD.

INCREASING THE WHEAT. YIELD.
The average wheat crop for the
whole United States for ten year to
1908 was 1878 bushels per acre.; for
five years to 1908, for Minnesota, 1856
for North Dakota 1908; for South Da-
kota, 1914. In Minnesota a steadily
increasing and substantial improve
ment in yield per acre has been made
through the adoption aof crop rotation
and the use Of better seed. Dividing
the time from 1882 to 1906 into five.
year periods gives the following aver
age yields in bushels for aquarter Of
a century. r.
