SPRING WHEAT ON DRY FARM
Durum Variety Should Be Used In

In answer to the question. What Is
the best variety of spring wheat for
dry farming?" would say that with

the writer, covering any considerable
period, that show that any other kind
Of spring wheat gives as good yields
as the Kubanka durum wheat. There
are other varieties Of durum, but this
is at least the best as milling wheat
and will probably give fully as good
yields as any Of the other varieties.
The objection to the use Of this wheat
is still occasionally made by certain
farmers that the market is not good.
y is true enough that the wheat new

local varieties OF common wheats, but
the yield Is almost always so very
much better as to much more than
make up for the difference In price,
though this may not always be the
case. The price, however. depends
very much upon the locality and the
quantity Of durum wheat produced in
the region. 1t is very important

curious arrangement puzzled me. un-

of that claw. 1t bit the lemur under
the ribs. l expect the little beast had
reason to be thankful that nature had
spared one toe when 1t promoted 1t to
the order of four.handed animals.

Worth Remembering.

while all this tax controversy is
going on, it might be well to remsm-
Der that the law under which we are
working, which provides for the
county assessor, was passed by a
Republican Legislature, signed by a
Republican governor, and was in
dorsed by the Republican party
council held in Topeka previous to
the last campaign. Also, that the
workings Of the law were pointed
out to the people in the last campaign
by the Democrats. Also, that an
overwhelming Republican senate in,
the last legislature defeated the bill
which eliminated the county assessor
from counties the size Of Barton.
While you are talking about these
things, place the responsibility where
it belongs, and do not by innuendo
or intimatiOn try to shield one party's
skirts by trying to make somebody
believe it is to be charged to some
one else.
