Montana Grain Shipments.

Figures recently compiled by the
ratio department. of the Great North
ern Railway company, prove more
forcibly than anything else the growth
of agriculture in Montana this year,
and especially the prosperity OF that
part of the state tributary to the line
Of that road as compared with last.
10 the first twenty days in October,
1910, the Grert Northern hauled from
stations in Montana to eastern points
Is, 900 bushels of grain. In the first
twenty days of October, 1911, that rail-
road has carried out of the state 800,
600 bushels.
It is the estimate of the traffic de.
partment that this year the Great
Northern will carry out of the state
3. $50, 600 bushels of grain, compared
with less than 1850, 600 bushels last
year.
In the opinion of Great Northern OF.
fcials the grain output Of Montana
next year will more than double that
of this year. The belief is based on
the reports of Prof. Shaw, the roads
agricultural expert, and his estimate
is founded on the amount OF land
which has already been seeded and
the amount of ley land broken for
spring planting.

new HYBRID WHEAT.
Agricultural Experts May Breed I'm
proved Variety.

A news item from Spokane says
scientific agriculturists are searching
the grain belts of the Pacific slope
and intermountain country to secure
a proper consort for Queen Bluestem,
the roy al wheat of the Indian Empire
and the northwest. The success of the
quest will mean millions Of dollars
annually to farmers 10 the western
country. The grain is higher In pro.
tein than other wheats; it makes more
-four because of increased gluten
values, consequently, 1t sells At from 2
to 4 cents more than the next best
varieties.
Turkey Red wheat has been COM
bined with Bluestem at the experiment
station farm in connection with the
Washington State college at Pullman,
and produced this year SO bushels to
the acre. The milling qualities are
high, the only drawback being that
the wheat 10 dark.
Bluestem is not as prolific in yield
a. Red Russian or the hybrid wheats,
which produce from Is TO 40 bushels
per acre. Eighteen to Is bushels az
acre has been made 10 the Big Bend
district, west of Spokane, where. If II
can be used 10 q by brid, the produc'
ton would be increased from 5000, 00(
to 5000, 600 bushels annually.
Professor Olson, who original
the new by brid. called Turkey Blue
stem, and exhibited specimens at re-
cent fairs. has not distributed any Of
the seed to farmers, as other tests are
to be made. This also is true of scores
of other new by brids developed At The
