INCREASING WHEAT YIELD
Work Done Mt the Chico Plant Intro
auction Garden

After four years. of experimenting
at the National Plant Introduction
Garden, nsar Chico, Butte county,
with a variety Of wheat known a.
chul, introduced into the United Sstates
from Turkestan in 1909 by the ONCE
of grain investigation OF the Depart
mont of Agriculture H. r. Blanchard.
grain expert of the Chico garden, has
succeeded In separating pure seed
from the mixture which had contalr-
mated It practically ever since its In
PRODUCTION. and in tests just COM
pleted, the new wheat has yielded
from fifteen to twenty bushels more
per acre than the white Australian
variety, which is generally grown by
the farmers in the Sacramento val
ley.
On land at the Chico station which
has been cropped for the past four
years to alfalfa ana corn, the chul
wheat produced SS bushels per acre;
a variety known as fetes, rs and the
white Australian was last with only
20 bushels.
incidentally the test proved the
great value Of an alfalfa crop as a
fertilizer for grain land, for under
similar conditions and on ground adj
joining, but on which alfalfa had
never been grown, the yield of wheat
was 35 bushels per acre to the IS of
alfalfa cropped land.
Although the chul wheat has been
known in this country since its intro
duction a number of years ago, it has
never been given a thorough CONNER
cal trial by the farmers of the west,
principally for the reason that there
was no pure seed to be had, as most of
the seed of that variety was mixed
with barley, which is very detrimen-
tai to the bearing qualities of the
grain.
The principal virtue of the chul
wheat lies in it's great productiveness,
but in addition to this it is considered
by the agricultural experts as a wheat
high in glutinous quantities. The gov
eminent intends to introduce it as
much as possible among the farmers,
and as is the custom will dispose of
the surplus in quantities sufficient to
plant an acre to ranchers who in re-
turn will keep a record of the growth
on blank form that is furnished by
the department.
+ Although the chul wheat is regard
ed as one Of the greatest steps for
ward in cereal growing, it is by no
means the only grain that is under
investigation at the Chico gardens,
where there are more than 200 varie-
ties growing at the present time, at
least twenty-five of which are for free

are often discouraging. Finally. it
should be remembered that forest
trees require the same care in plant
ing and cultivation that we find in
successful orcharding.
Care for Evcrgrecns
Evergreens are generally considered
very difficult to transplant successful
~ There are several good reasons
why this is so. They have a root sys-
tenn comparatively weaker than most
deciduous trees. The sap is of a
resinous nature, and when the fihrous
roots become even slightly dried upon
exposure to the air, it can never cir
culate again, and the tissues are
clogged with the heavy fluid. The
foliage evaporates moisture excessive
~. consequently the demand upon the
whole plant is devitalizing from the
moment the tree is dug from the soil.
on digging evergreens for transplant
ing. exposure to dry air should not be
allowed for a moment. Wet blankets
should be thrown around the roots, or
they should be plunged at once into a
tank of water, there to rema In until

Sila2e Cheaper Than Pasture

Dean Mumford of the Missouri coll
lege of agriculture makes the state
ment that cows can be maintained
more cheaply on slage than they can
be carried through the summer on
blue grass pasture where the land
costs about 500 per acre and suit
able for growing corn. He says that
there is very little pasture land where
a COW and a calf can be pastured on
less than l " acres, but 1t is entirely
possible to get 121s to 20 tons of ST.
lage from one acre. A COW and her
calf can be carried through the sum-
mer on two pounds of clover hay
and 35 pounds of silage per day as
we'll or better than on a blue grass
pasture Thus he declares that you
can carry COW and her calf six
months on less than a half acre OF
silage.

Approves of Plan. But Vetoes Bill

Taft has vetoed a bill providing for
the sale of burn timber on lands out
side of the national forests. The bill
was designed to relieve the home
stead settlers who suffered severely
through forest fires.
The president declared his veto was
based ON the report of Secretary Fish
or of the interior department. who
declared the administration features
OF the bill were so ambiguous that
the department would not dare take
advantage of its terms. Mr.. Taft
said that he hoped Secretary Fishers

Who Will Succeed Wiley?

There are two groups of people
who are anxiously watching and watt
ing to see who will be DR.. Wiley
In one group are the dis
honest manufacturers, the food adul-
terators, the whiskey blenders and

ing on the people through fraud and
Misrepresentation in various ways.
In the other group are the people of
the United States, and the honest
manufacturers. Which of these
groups will be kept in mind in the Sc
lection of the man? The newspapers
that President Taft immed-
lately telegraphed to the leading uni
versities asking for suggestions as to
the right man to succeed Wiley. This
looks as though the president were
anxious to get the right man. But
tho right man in this case need not
necessarily be the best chemist in the
country. What is needed Is q man
who is fundamentally honest; who
has the good of the public and not
of the Interests at heart: one, above
all, who has honest convictions and
has the courage to carry out such
convictions. But will the president
dare to ask such a man to take a po-
sition in which he will be surround

be a further change in the personnel
of those who are presumed to enforce
the food and drugs act than simply
the elimination of Wiley. Until that
change is made the Journal of the
American Medical association thinks
Wiley will accept the position.

GREAT WASTE OF
GAS IS REPORTED
Experts Claim That Loss Reaches
Into Millions Annually in
This Country

WASHINGTON, April g. The
waste of millions of dollars worth of
natural gas which is going on each
year in the petroleum fields of the
country may be stopped in the near
future by plan made public today
by the federal bureau of mines.
Briefly, the plan as outlined by the
oil experts of the bureau is to take
the oil fields and obtain from it a
liquefied gas that can be used for il
Illuminating purposes. This liquefled
gas, which is by-product of the
natural gas, is held under high pres
sure in steel containers and can he
shipped to localities that do not have
a gas system. In this way, small
towns, hotels and country estates may
have the advantage of gas illumina-
ton at a fair cost. This gas, 1t is
thought, will also prove an excellent
illuminant for lighthouses and light
ships and other public works of a
similar nature that must be located at
a distance from a commercial sup
ply of gas
Valuable By-Proluct
lTNlnS y. Rllen the OIL expert, IN
discussing this by-product of natural
gas says: 1.-The possibility of handling
this liquefed gas in the way that
Pintsch and Blau gases are handled
opens new field of comparatively
great importance in the natural gas
industry and should add materially 20
the investments made in the so-called
natural gasoline industry.
There is no difficulty or secrecy
in the production and use of the
liquetied natural gas product The
third or fourth stage compressor
product must, however, be treated as
liquefed gas, and no attempt should
be made to handle it as an OIL
This product of natural gas is
equal in quality to any of the similar
manufactured gases: it is very clean
and pure and can be handled in the
same, way as they are. The containers
can be easily transported and the
turning of their values makes a sup
ply of gas available The highest
economy in its use for illuminating
purposes will be attained with in
verified burners provided with mantels,
burners of this type being especially
adapted for gases of high heating
value"
Daily Waste One Billion Feet
DR.. !. G. White. state geologist of
West Virginia, in referring to the
waste of natural gas in the United
States said recently. cat this very
minute, natural gas, the purest form
of fuel, ideal in every respect, self
transporting, is passing into the air
from the uncontrolled gas wells, from
| oil wells, from giant flambeaus, from
leaking pipe lines, and many other
methods of waste at not less than
one billion cubic feet daily and prob
ably much more. The record of waste
of the best and purest fuel is a ma
tional disgrace. The heating value OF
a billion cubic feet of natural gas Is
equivalent to that of one million
| bushels of coal. There can be no
doubt that for every barrel of oil
taken from the earth there have been
wasted more than ten times it's equiv
alent in heating power, or weight
even, of this best of all fuels; and
that much more than half of this
frightful waste could have been avoid
ed by proper care and slight addi-
| tional expenditures in oil production
