Wheat Yield

A mass convention of the mil
lers of the United States will con-
vene tomorrow in Minneapolis, the
call for the convention having been
sent out by the United States. 1t
Is expected that this convention
will be the largest body of millers
ever assembled. There will be
many serious questions considered.
among them that of bleaching of
flour. and that of ways and means
of increasing the production of
wheat in the United States. The
convention will be addressed by
such notables as James J. Hill. the
empire builder of the northwest.
Professor A. S. Woods. and Profess
sor NJ. A. Carlton,
The millers of the country regard
the problem of increasing the pro-
duction of wheat in the United
States as one of the most pressing
questions of the day. They agree
entirely with James j. Hill that un-
less something is done to build up
the acre-yield of wheat. the day is
not far distant when the United
States, for so many years one OF
the leading wheat exporters of the
world, will become one of the wheat
importing nations. The rapid growth
of the population of the country
has prevented the farmer from
maintaining the same ratio between
production and consumption that
hitherto existed. and unless some
what revolutionary methods are
pursued the entire surplus for ex-
port will be wiped out.
Millers are inclined to look up
on a botanical discovery recently
made in Palestine as having a very
important bearing on the wheat sit
nation in the United States. A Ger
man scientist has discovered a
plant In Palestine which he believes
to be the ancestor of the modern
American wheat plant. Under pres
ent day conditions of agriculture
the wheat plant has lost its quail
ity of self-propogation. and but for
the preparation of its seed bed by
man, 1t might become extinct. The
Palestine plant Is SO hardy that 1t
can hold its own in any combat
with weeds, and 1t is hoped that by
cross-breeding with the American
wheat, a new variety may be built
up which will possess all the pro-
ductive qualities of existing varie-
ties. together with the qualities
of hardness possessed by the new
ly discovered Asiatic piant--Pueb-
10 Chieftain.
