vest of 800, 100000 bushels, enough
to let the bread-eating public know
that durum Is on earth.
| Here is clipping cut from the
current issue of The N. w. Miller.
Report from Duluth:
"Durum Wheat-The foreign call
for durum was the feature last week,
and it was a big time for exporting
in the local market. Foreigners were
clamoring for wheat at all stages re-
CARELESS of price, and much difficulty
was experienced in supplying the
demand. Highest point reached was
$1.16h for both May and July on
Saturday. Market was inclined to
be easier today, Monday, prices
breaking sharply with loss Of 1 nc
from high point. The difference be-
tween spring and durum is gradu-
ally narrowing-theM May option show
ing only 8Ac, where it was 141sc last
year."
You cannot get away from that.
OF course sympathy with general high
prices, etc., etc., may be the accredit-
ed cause for this advance. Maybe so,
but there is a very safe way to start
durum on an upward trend and keep
it there, even to the extent of dupli-
eating the Russian situation with Ku-
bauka wheat, viz, at premium
above No. 1 northern. Like the old
fish woman's eel, that, when skinned
alive and squirming, didn't mind it.,
cause it was used to it," as the old
huckster explained it. So with the
farmer, he Is so used to taking 80
cents off per bushel that it comes
like second nature to him and he's
used to it-like the eel, it don't hurt.
But the remedy is simple, very
simple. Allow twenty-five bushels of
wheat, as the annual flour consumed,
to every family in the Dakotas. That
would mean quite consumption OF
durum bread and yet be within rea-
son. And this durum -four when
made into bread, pancakes, piecrust,
doughnuts; dumplings, corn starch,
desserts and breakfast food, don't
last long. I question whether the
ordinary family would get through
year on five barrels of durum -four. 1t
excites the durum bread habit and
the result is that good butter with
fresh sweet, crusty durum bread, re-
duces the meat bill considerably.
There's more gluten in durum flour
than any other -four and gluten is
the lean of the meat of the wheat.
You cant confine durum bread to
the Dakotas. It's too good: Its use
will extend, you can't stop 1t. am
mailing you a sample loaf Of durum
bread as illustrating what durumJ
-four, rich in gluten and natural
sugar, will do.
Although know little about
bread making, I made this bread my
self, using bread machine specially
devised for the making of durum
bread, cake, piecrust, etc. It. gets
the best out of the durum -four, and
is practically durum bread making
machine.
1t does the whole process. 1t mixes
the dough at night; 1t is set in the
machine; it molds it down in the
morning; you transfer it straight to
the pans and the bread making is
done. No hands in the dough. The
loaf I mail you will dry up a little in
the stove-heated mail cars. but it will
show what can be done with durum
-four.
used sixty-four ounces flour !
pounds, durum -four; fifty-one |
ounces water, milk and yeast; one
ounce salt, and one ounce cottolene. |
No sugar-durum -four Is sweet in |
natural sugar, sucrose. That's eight |
parts of liquid to ten of -four. This |
makes a dough a little thicker than
cake batter and you pour it straight |
into your pans. That's what I did |
to this loaf when I made it. The
durum wheat -four for this loaf came
from Dakota, and perhaps some read
er of your paper grew the durum
wheat from which the -four was mill
ed. A long journey, twice across the
Rocky mountains, from Dakota to
and back again.
No other -four will do this, and why
farmers of durum should for a mo-
ment hesitate or be doubtful of the
future, I cannot see. The United
States department of agriculture pre-
diets that durum wheat is to be the
type of spring wheat OF the
future. So the quicker the farmers
Of the Dakotas begin the using of
l
quicker will the crops increase in size
and the sooner will the diferent!al
between durum and No. l northern
disappear. The farmers of the Dako-
las will not only save the $7,OOO,0OG
M to date, but they will put bread,
cake and other durum things on tleir
liable of a quality never eaten before.
Moral: Eat durum bread and every
man, woman and child in the Dako-
las following this advice means the
,atronizing of the greatest home in
ustry within the confines of the Da-
plastic growing of durum wheat.
