development of the west Is one OF the real
steps toward a solution of the high cost
of living problem.
I'm Oregon they have 100000 acres OF
sagebrush that ought to be producing food
81 estimate that in the territory covered
by the Land show here there is a total
area OF not less than lOO,OO0OO0 acres yet
to be made productive. That much land
will produce a great deal OF food All that
Is required TO make tnat land productive
IL scientific agriculture. The land VIII
produce II it is treated right"
Increased winter wheat Area.
Prof Shaw is striving TO Increase the
area which can be made to grow winter
wheat His methods have made It possible
I to grow winter wheat far into the territory
where It has been impossible hitherto.
There are several thousand acres OF winter
wheat within few miles OF Moorhead and
Fargo which give ocular demonstration Of
the success Of his methods.
| at will ultimately be possible 10 grow
winter wheat as far up as the north bank
of the Saskatchewan river" said Prof.
Shaw Winter wheat will mean a great
deal in the northwest. too. Winter wheat
will increase the yield about 80 per cent.
on my experimental projects we have been
getting from twenty to forty bushels TO the
acre.
THE cultivation OF winter wheat accom-
plished more than one purpose: For one
thing it helps to keep down the weeds and
clean the land. Also It divides the time
of crop sowing for the farmer.
There is no question but that winter
wheat can be made to grow and give good
yields in any part Of the northwest IL II is
given the right kind OF protection. 1t is
but a question OF getting it started,
"Out at Cut Bank. Mont. we have grown
a twenty -bushel crop under dry farming
methods where the total rainfall for the
year was but six inches. This was in the
year between September J.. 1909 to septem-
Der ]. 1910. During the growing season
there was but three and one-half inches Of
rain"
MiIIener Draws Crowds.
DR.. F. H. Minener's wireless telegraph
and telephone demonstration on the stage
! OF the Auditorium is one OF the most at
tractive Of the daily features OF the show.
The latest demonstration put on by Dr.
Millener is OF the talking arc light. The
talking arc is an important part OF the
| wireless telephone equipment. The arc
light actually talks. The arc light repro
duces words spoken into a telephone trans
mittcr. AT the same time the arc light
generates wireless waves which travel in
infinite circles in all directions like the
waves in a pond disturbed by a pebble.
A series OF arcs over the stage OF the
Auditorium will show this function of the
wireless phone to the Land Show crowds
