The so-CaIIed ALASKA" Wheat.


The Bureau of Plant Industry has
prepared the following statement in
anticipation of inquiries concerning
Alaska" wheat:
A variety Of wheat under the name
of ALASKA" is being widely advertised
as capable Of yielding at the rate Of
200 bushels to the acre under ordinary
soil conditions" and even better under
extra conditions" 1t is stated that
this variety was found growing wild In
Alaska, and claims of the most ex-
travagant nature are made fer It. In
consequence Of this notorlety the de-
partment is receiving many requests for
seed.
This type Of wheat has been known
for many years both in this country and
in Europe. 1t has been tried at several
state experiment stations in the west
ern part of the United States during
the past fifteen years. but nowhere have
the yields been high enough to merit
attention. The wheat has been grown
to very limited extent on certain
heavy undrained soils In France for
many years. In such locations 1t Is
said to yield rather better than ordia-
ary wheat, but as 1t Is one Of the poe r.
est wheats known for making -four, 1t
Is never grown where ordinary varieties
Of wheat will thrive.

tions have been in progress for the past
few years to determine the cause of
this condition Of range stock, which
has come to be known as "locoed." The
reason the weed is so poisonous In some
sections and not In others is that on
some soils 1t contains no barium. The
Bureau Of Plant Industry, In a recent
bulletin, says that 1t is possible to kill
out the weeds If the pastures are
fenced. as the weeds grow in patches.
There Is no feasible way of Kidding
ranges of the weeds, however.
1t was found that locoed cattle can
In most cases be cured by a course of
treatment with strychnine, while
locoed horses can generally be cured by
a course of treatment with Fowler's
solutions. The animals under treat
ment must not be allowed to eat the
loco weed and should be given only
nutritious food, but as far as possible
food with laxative properties. To this
end magnesium sulphate was admins
tered to correct the constipation, which
is almost universal among locoed ami
mails. 1t should be noted, too, that
magnesium sulphate may serve to some
extent as an antidote to the poison.

Graft and Stock.

The question Of the influence Of the
stock on the graft and vice versa has
been much discussed. The experiments
recorded by NJ. L. Guignard in the
Complies Rendus were made with
view of discovering whether there is
any migration of chemical substances
from. the one to the other. Plants rich
in compounds of hydrocyanic acid were
chosen, as this is easy to detect. It vas
found that when a plant containing a
hydrocyanic glucoside is grated on one
destitute of 1t, or inversed, there is no
passage of this substance from the one
10 the other. The general conclusion
seems to be that grating Is a sort Of
artificial symbiosis in which each spe.
cies retains It's individuality.

CAD ALLARD
4 LEUTH

yesterday afternoon after having
learned of the escape OF Sam Spell
from the city jail ana the manner of
his escape. Cad Allard. who. as sec
retary Of the Commercial Club, occu-
pies q room In the city hall. concluded
he would go down and take look.
After viewing the surroundings Alrs
Allard came to the conclusion that
Spell did not escape without outside
assistance, that the iron bars in the
window through which Spell escaped
were not bent by the use of the piece
OF timber found near the window, or
the inside Of the Jail, but that it must
have been been done with something
else; also, Mr.. AlIard said to himself.
that owing to the condition of the
earth since the rain which preceded
the escape there ought to be tracks
whereby one might get lead; and
thus reasoning, he started out.
Mr. Allard noticed tracks leading
from from the window where Spell es-
capped in the direction Of the alley
north--the alley which runs east and
west just north OF the fire station.
Once in this alley Mr. Allard noticed
tracks leading west and away he went.
Just a short distance west Of the
fire station, in the alley, Mr.. Allard
noticed pile OF metal pipe and on
looking more carefully he saw q piece
Of iron pipe about three feet in length:
he also noticed that this apparently
had been thrown there after the rain:
he picked it up and examined it and
here he found evidence showing plain
" that it had been roughly handled
as the rust and scales were flaked off
here and there, just as they would
have been II used in the jail window;
also, it was slightly bent at one end
Sleuth Allard returned to his apart
ments convinced that he had made a
discovery.

FUTURE
BUILDING :
OUTLOOK

In discussing the building outlook for
the near future in Chickasha. an enter
prising business man Of this city today
mentioned three fine buildings which
are very certain 10 be efected al no dis
tant date.
One OF the these is on the lot the
Government recently bought, corner Of
Fourth and choctaw While no one
knows as yet just how much money
will be appropriated for this building.
It is variously surmised that it win be
somewhere from 100000 to s150.O0O.
Then it is surmised that the Odd
Fellows will at no distan date begin
the erection OF An elegant building
on their lot just across Chickasha
avenue, south. from the new city hall.
Nhss is one OF the most attractive lots
in the city and with ample room there
Is no doubt but the Odd Fellows will
put up building which viii fully JUS
tify their opportunity. and in keeping
with their known enterprise.
Then there is the local Masonic
lodge which has just finished Eayment
on their $4,000 lot just north Of the
Baptist church. on South Fourth. This
lot is so by l65 feet and also an ex-
ceedingly desirable location. When
ready to build. no one doubts but they
will put up a handsome structure.
All this means that thousands OF
dollars will be expended at no distant
date in buildings in the downtown dis
trict 1t is even predicted by some that
next year will see g greater building
