The statement which has been go
ing the rounds of the press to the
effect that seventy million acres of
coal land now Withdrawn are to be
restored to entry as the result Of
field Investigations now being con-
Quoted by fourteen Geological Sur
vey parties, is branded by Director
George Otis Smith as grossly mis-
leading, if not absolutely untrue.
ssThe dispatch evidently emanated
from Seattle, . said Director Smith,
sand is based on an alleged inter-
view with W. r. Calvert, a geolo-
gist of the Geological Survey. In a
letter to the Survey Mr.. Calvert
states that he refused to give out
any statement. +"
HWhat Mr.. Calvert could have
stated" said Director Smith, ''is
that the approximately seventy mil
lion acres of coal land in the West
still belonging to the government
would be examined and classified by
the geological survey as rapidly as
the appropriations made by congress
will permit. The fourteen survey
parties in the field this year will be
able to cover but small portion of
this enormous area, inasmuch as the
coal-land surveys are made in very
accurate detail for the purpose Of
classifying and appraising the coal
lands"
Director Smith calls attention,
hoxever, to the fact that this entire
coaI-land area, belonging to the
government, is in fact open to full
and free agricultural entry, the
government reserving the coal rights
only. Under the highly important
Mondell Act of June %, 1910, sep
arating surface and coal rights, any
government coal land however valu-
able for coal, may be entered by the
home seeker for its surface farming
rights. Thus the present coal land
and classi6cadons do
not operate to retard the home-mak-
ing development of the West.

It is with deep feeling of appre-
citation for the honor and the priv
ilege on behalf ct the people of Lew
iston, Charleston and vicinity, and
through the wiston-Clarkston Fair
organization, to extend their hospi-
tally to the people of the Inland
Empire during the week of the an
nual fair, October 9th to 14th.
Other localities each year COM
bine their efforts for entertainment
and hospitality in some form of cell
ebration. Seattle had its Golden
Potlatch, Portland, its Rose Festi-
val and other places their pioneer
and other gatherings, but it remains
for Lewiston, Charleston and vicinity,
at the close of each harvest period,
to invite their friends of the Inland
Empire to join with them in giving
this great annual Industrial exhibit
as a tribute to the merits of their in
dustry as evidenced by their prod
ucts of forests, mines, fields and or
chards. By October 9th your grains
viii be garnered and your season of
labor closed, and it is our earnest
wish for you to visit US and take
part in this annual event.
We are striving to make the oc-
casion entertaining and instructive
and wish to reflect the results OBJ
tanned by applying the efforts of an
industrious and intelligent people to
well favored portion of a great
commonwealth.
We we'll realize that We can do
but little without your cooperation,
and wish not only your presence in
person but your products, and with
these, we will endeavor to please
and be pleased.

Increasing Milling vaIne Of Inland
Empire Wheat.

As a rule comment upon the ben
efts derived from well planned rota-
tons is confined to the resulting
higher state of fertility of the soil
and to the increase in yield and con-
sequent increase in value of the pro-
ducts taken from it during a term of
years. With reference to wheat in
rotation with other crops, one point,
that of the milling quality of the
grain, has apparently escaped ser
ious attention.
With common milling wheats,
quality depends largely upon their
protein content. Generally speak
ing, the higher the percentage of
protein in the kernel the better will
be the -four miled from it for bread
making purposes. The protein con-
tent, can in a measure be controlled
by the wheat grower himself, as the
tests mentioned below and conduct
ed last year by the Department of
Chemistry of the Idaho State Expert
ment Station, indicate. The tests
were part Of general plan devised
for the purpose of ascertaing the eff
feet of diferenl rotations upon the
quality of wheat.
Seven Ito acre plats were used
In these tests. In each plat blue
stem wheat of the same quality and
at the same rate per acre was sown.
Plats !, Q and S, had produced wheat
the preceding year. In parts 8,
and 7, the wheat succeeded peas,
and in plat 8 it followed potatoes.
At harvest time plats 1, 2 and 5
yielded wheat which upon chemical
analysis gave 9.75 per cent, 1921
per cent and 1888 per cent of pro-
tein respectively. The wheat from
plats 3, 4 and 7 was found to contain
1921 per cent, 1886 per cent and
1929 per cent of protein respective
Iy. The wheat from plat contain
15.47 psr cent protein. The aver
age protein content of the wheat
grown after wheat, was 1915 per
cent The average protein content
Of that grown after peas was 1922
per cent The peas, and potatoes
the protein content 500
per cent, and 5,31 respectively, or
nearly 1-5; the wheat held the pro-
ein down practically to where it was
he preceding year. The wheat
rom plats 8, 4, 6 and z averaged /
- pounds per bushel heavier than
hat produced from plats I, 2 and
Although as stated above these re-
ults were obtained on small plats
n the Experiment Station farm, 1
elieve there is no question but that
hey can and are being duplicated on
much larger scale by wheat grow
rs in the vicinity Of Moscow who
ave for several years made it their
ractice to grow limited acreage
{ potatoes, field peas, beans, and
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1911-08-24

similar crops. It is a matter of
common remark, too with these
growers that wheat grown on potato
and pea land attains a heavier grow
tn and gives a substantially greater
yield of grain per acre than does
land that produced wheat oroats the
preceding year. Millers of the In
land Empire are frank in stating
that good milling wheat commands
a premium. The figures given above
indicate that if wheat is bought
strictly on its merits. for milling
purposes, that grown on potato and
field pea land is especially entitled
10 the premium.
