Local Wheat Tests High

Charles M. Talmadge, of Silver Birch,
last spring submitted samples of Winter
Fife wheat grown on his farm to the
State College at Pullman for testing
He has just received letter from R.
w. Thatcher, director of the agricul-
tural station, which states as follows:
"The wheat carries 145O per cent of
protein. When milled it yields 76.12
per cent flour, which carries a. Sc per
cent protein and yields SOTO per cent
wet glutton or 1925 per cent dry gluten.
One hundred grams of the flour gave a
loaf of bread weighing 100 grams and
measuring 1923 &C. The bread was nice
and light and of good texture. By COM
parison with figures in bulletins re-
Gently issued, you will see that your
sample of wheat gives very high test
all around"

Says Dairying Biz Idea

L. w. Kelly and wife, of Moberly,
Mo-, who have been guests of Mrs. J.
G. Scott and other local relatives, left
Monday evening to continue their trip.
They were accompanied by Mrs. Scott,
who will spend several days with them
at Spokane and Seattle. Mr.. Kelly was
interviewed by the Spokesman-Review
and had the following to say about this
section:
while there is apparently great
deal of experimenting along agricul-
tural lines in the vicinity of Newport,
believe that the settlers will get the
biggest and quickest returns from
dairying, J." said L. w. Kelly, postmas-
ter of Moberly, Mo-, who was in con-
ference with Postmaster w. P. Edris
yesterday, after touring sections of the
Inland Empire.
'There is much territory around
Spokane which appeals to me, but be-
lieve that the Newport section in par
ticular will pay big returns if the settlers
turn their attention to dairying," con-
tinued Mr.. Kelly. Il believe that the
settlers on the logged-off lands in par
tlcular can get the quickest returns
from an investment in this line.
cit will only be necessary for them
to work out small tract before they
will be able to handle large number
OF dairy COWS. 1t will soon be possible
to grow many suitable products, and by
constructing silos the conditions for
dairying will be almost ideel."

The principle of wireless telegraphy

lengths can be measured. Thus, the
sun gives out in every direction light
IN a series OF undulating waves which
may not only be measured, but can be
detected, polarized, and 50 on, Some
idea of this may be gained from
the welLknown fact that when stone
is thrown into a smooth pool OF wa
ter series of circular waves extends
in all directions. IL any floating OBJ
ject comes within these waves they
are oscillated.
1t was the lamented Prof, Hertz
who discovered that electricity, like
light and heat, also moves in waves
which may be measured. Just precise
~ how these waves pass through the
atmosphere is not wholly understood,
but it Is believed that they have some
relation to ether, which is omnipres-
Ont and which is believed TO constitute
