Montana Wheat Grades High.

BILLINGS, July 29.-Eyidence that
the wheat grown In Montana, particu.
larly In the nonirrigated districts OF
Yellowstone county, is of superior
quality. is shown by the report from
q laboratory test made by the RUSSELL
Miller Milling company of Q sample
of Turkey Red wheat grown by Miss
Mabel Sudduth on her ranch in the
Broadview country. The analysis OF
the grain showed 1857 per cent gluten,
which is said to be the highest on re-.
cord In the United States.
It is said that the Japanese are de-
msnding -four and wheat which con.
tsins the greatest possible percentage
of gluten, which is the nutritious ele.
ment of the grain, and millers In dii.
ferent parts of the country who cater
to the oriental export trade are en-
deavoring to secure grain that will
come up to the requirement. It Ia be-
lieved in the light of the test just m made
that the Turkey Red winter wheat of
Montana is the ideal grain for this
trade.
