The San Francisco call., 1910-05-01

r EN- years ago last autumn the
wheat farmers on the dry semiarid
lands of the Dakota prairies, un-
of the scant rainfall and drought and
other conditions, appealed to Secretary
Wilson to find them crop-a wheat
crop if possible-that would fiji their
soil and the drought conditions that
so often prevailed.
Secretary Wilson secured Europe in
his endeavor to supply the crying need
of the farmers, who were at a loss as
to what to grow upon their lands Pro-
fessor Carleton, cerealist of the depart
ment OF agriculture, went abroad and
found in the semiarid wheat lands of
conditions existing in the Dakotas. He
found there a durum wheat, a hard.
drought resisting wheat, that grew
where the rainfall was slight and ac-
tually thrived under drought condi-
tions, demanding a fierce, hot sunshine
for days to mature 1t perfectly. 1t was
wheat as hard as flint rich in natural
sugar, IiOuT OI d COiOT more
creamlike, than any yet milled, even
golden colored because of the great
amount of gluten it contained 1t is
this gluten which bears to flour the
same relation and value as the red lean
does to the roast of meat Gluten if
separated from flour, presents itself in
the form of golden colored, gumlike
substance.
So Professor Carleton brought home
to Secretary Wilson samples of Russian
durum wheats, the trip and seed cost
ing in all $4,000. Up to this date, in
elusive of the crop harvested in Sep
tember, 1909, that seed has produced
nearly sSoo,OOO,OOO in crop values. = :.
Both the hardness and gluten of this
wheat turned American millers against

THAT THE MAN WAS MENTAL
~ UNeALANcED-DU AD-
MiTTEo GUILT.

George Dunlap who alone saw the
justification Of his act in shooting DR..
Harrison Gable of Centerville, with
intent to commit murder, was pro-
nounced insane by Judge Henry G.
Fox of the circuit court late Tuesday
afternoon. He will be committed to
the state hospital for the criminal in
sane at Michigan City and will be
taken to that institution withon the
next week by Sheriff Meredith.
This Is the first instance under the
law Of 1909 that Wayne county has
sentenced q man to the criminal in
sane hospital and there are several
technical matters which have not as
yet been arranged by the court. The
hospital 10 not completed but the au-
thorities of Michigan City penitentiary
are accepting criminal insane. Dun
lap will be transferred to the hospital
when 1t IL opened in q short time.
To Determine Sanity.
The trial which Dunlap asked for
was not to prove his innocence, be-
cause he admitted the act and his
purpose but 1t was to determine his
sanity. A trial by jury was waived
and the court, after hearing Dunlap's
story together with the other evidence
was convinced of his mental weak
ness.
Dunlap's story while consistent as
he told 1t, was still most peculiar. He
declared Centerville was divided into
factions. both intent on robbing him.
He said DR.. Gable was the head of
one faction and he knew that Gable
was guilty because the physician
would dodge whenever Dunlap pass
ed him on the street and raised his
cane. The plot which he believed had
been made against him involved many
prominent people of Center township.
