He let the cat out Of the bag when
he remarked that "You fellows in sup
porting winter wheat, durum and vel
vet chan.. are destroying the milling
business Of the northwest" 1t is a dol
lars and cents proposition with the
farmer. Unless the price of hard wheat
goes up beyond any present level.
wheat raising in this section of the
country is doomed, with increasing land
values and decreasing yields. And not
all the wailing Of all the millers from
here to the Sands o. Dee can stop men
from going out Of the business once
they find they are losing money. A
crop that will return more per acre
and that will give larger net profits
will come in, and If that crop be win

to make 1t available for their purposes

a profit. we'll and good, but there are
better ways to induce the farmer to
continue growing it than to lie about
the product of a grain that is Of the
first Importance to the farmers OF
North Dakota. That leads one to think
that the arguments against durum are
rather weak, and set up for personal
business reasons rather than because
they hold any foundation worth con-
sidering in fact.

You meet a lot of queer jiggers in
ehis world. There was one at the A.
G. the other day. Had he been out on
a search for misinformation he could
scarcely have got in less time. The
subject was durlim -four and the mis-
lnformer a man supposed to know his
business. Here are g. few statements
culled from a short interview: 1.-THE
turum loaf fs sour, lacking the sweet
ness of the hard wheat loaf" Anyone
who has used durum -four knows that
such is the exact opposite of the fact,
one objection frequently met in other
wise friends OF durum being that the
-four has a marked sweet taste. II is
a definite characteristic of dururn -four.
THE bread is fun of holes as you
say. 1t does not make a well-risen
loaf" Wrong again! The durum loaf
has a fine grain, not quite as coarse as
the ordinary -four.
SIT won't run as many pounds Of
Sour to the bushel." There 1t depends
largely upon strains of wheat ccmpar-
ga. There are good and poor hard
wheaGs, good and poor durums, when it
sonnes to -four production. A good
Rurum is very fair match for a good
hard wheat. The intent of the state
kent was misleading.
Now what do you think Of that? The
gentleman in question thought he was
Ealitng to a newspaper man, and that
he could get in shot at the support
brs Of durum -four. The writer can

Demonstration Farms.

From time to time this paper mas
published short reports from the dem
oastration farms of the state, under the
direction of Mr.. Porter. One of the
most valuable of the publications ever
sent out by the A. c. is the report Of
this work for the year 1908. The re-
port for the current year will be issued
during the winter. This report tells
the every day story Of how the farms
are handled, how they are cropped,
what the results are. And some Of
these results, especially those dealing
with the effects Of crop rotation, and
the application of scientific methods to
farming, are very striking. Send for

MAYVILLE NORMAL NOTES.


The Association OF Science and
Mathematics teachers met in the nor
NAL building on last Saturday with a
fairly good attendance. The meeting
was a success and the papers read
were strong. The writer wonders If
such meetings would not be of more
value, If they were more on the style
of round table discussions with lead
er on each subject presented. There
is danger of too much paper and TOO
little of practical suggestion in the
long paper. What the members Of
this association need in the way of
help is suggestion in the light OF metn-

international Livestock Show.

The International Livestock show at
Chicago will be held Nov. 27-Dec. 10.
Professor Davenport Of Illinois says
relative to this show:
'"The coming show gives promise Of
being the greatest Of this splendid
series of events. and the management
is planning to offer a programme that
will far eclipse anything that has ever
been offered in the psychological
music dashing performances and bril-
liant evening entertainments, COM
bined with educational opportunities
unequaled in the world. Where can a
greater combination be found at such
a nominal outlay Of money? Educa-
ton, entertainment, a pleasant trip
and recreation-all in one. Why not
plan a pleasant surprise for the folks
at home and take advantage Of these
exceptional opportunities?
1.-THE draft horse exhibit will be the
greatest ever seen in this or any other
country. Horses, whose lineage dates
back into the dark ages, will be seen
in the ring beside the most splendid
specimens of the English and Scottish
types, whose equals have never before
been brought together in such num-
bers in the history of the show ring.
The number of exhibitors in the sheep
department exceeds that of any pre-
vious year, and in quality their ex-
hibits will far surpass anything ever
seen here in the past, as the entries
show them to contain some of the
choicest importations made to this
country in recent wears In the swine
department all the leading types will
again be represented and the quality
will be superior to that of any show
ever seen on this continent. All these
and many other new features give
promise of making the coming expo
sition the greatest in the history of
this splendid series of events, and nc
one, be he ever so distantly connected
with livestock-the right arm of our
basic industry, agriculture-can afford
to miss this exceptional opportunity
for education, entertainment and a
pleasant trip in one.
