is being put in by the farmers in this

farther west in Williams county these
crops are raised quite generally by
everybody. Last summer when all
other crops dried out the winter wheat
and rye yielded quite heavily, being
ripe just about the time the hot winds

WEIGHING MACHINE FOR NAVY
Porhydromster VIII Tell Dead Weight
Of Ships Cargo at
Any Time.

A porhydrometer is to be installed
on the Neptune. the newest collier
built for the navy, for experimental
purposes The secretary of the navy
has just authorized an expenditure Of
about $4,000 for that purpose. A por-
hydrometer is an apparatus designed
to weigh with the utmost accuracy
the dead weight placed on board or
removed from any ship, barge or other
floating vessel to which it is fitted. It
is based on the principle that body
floating in liquid Of whatever den
sity displaces a quantity Of the liquid
exactly equal to its own weight BY
It's application vessel is transformed
into gigantic weighing machine. Any
thing added to or removed from Its
cargo is accurately recorded by the
machine In accordance with its
weight in pounds. That applies to hui
man beings as well as other freight,
so that the absene of a single pas
senger or member of the crew of a
vessel or the addition of another per-
son is recorded.
The weighing is done by means Of
an aerometer connected with a vertic-
al tube fitted in the center of the ves-
sci and extending from well below the
water line to well above the load line.
This tube is connected by pipe with
the outside shell Of the vessel SO that
when the valve or cock Is opened the
water In which the vessel is floating
has free access to the vertical tube
and rises in 1t ITO exactly the same
level as outside the vessel.

a custom with some women to devote
half an hour day, usually In the

with some there was what may be
called a morbidly joyous search for

SC|ENT|S'T'SSEARCH
FOR ROYAL WHEAT
They Are Operating Out In The
Neighborhood OF Spokane,
For Special Brand

Spokane, Wash. Nov. 3.--Scien-
lists OF prominence are searching the
grain belts of the Pacific slope ana
intermountain country to secure a
proper consort for Queen Bluestem,
the royal wheat of the Inland En-
pire and the Northwest The sue
cess of the quest will mean millions
of dollars annually to farmers in the
western country. The grain is high
er in protein than other wheats; it
makes more flour because of increas-
ed gluten values; consequently, 1t
sells at from two or four cents more
than the, next best varieties.
Turkey Red wheat has been COM
bined with Bluestem at the expert
ment station farm in connection with
the Washington State college at
Pullman, and produced this year SO
bushels the acre. The milling
qualities are high, the only draw
back being that the wheat is DIRK.
Bluestem is not as prolif ce in
yield as Red Russian or the hybrid
wheats, which produce from rs to 40
bushels the acre. Eighteen to rs
bushels an acre has been made in
the Big Bend district, west of Spo-
kane, where, IL it can be used In a
hybrid. the production would be in
creased from 5000, 900 to $1,000 900

at recent fairs, hes not distributed
any of the seed to farmers. as other
tests tor be made. This also is true
OF scores of other new hybrids de-
veloped at the state college.
