Of dollars have beer spent by fake pat
ent medicine vendors and are still he
ing spent to save their wicked prac-
tees and enable them to continue to
drug the American people. Ten years
ago we were paying for adulterants in
our food more than 81, 900, 900 annual
~ and these were no better than saw
dust. Today we are bound to pay toe
much for pure foods.
Six years ago there was added to the
department of chemistry a milling and
baking plant and since then an eievat-
or has been erected to complete the
facilities for doing experimental work
with wheat and Wheat products. AT
that time, the mills throughout the
country were rapidly installing bleach
ing outfits, as were also many mixers
and blenders of flour, and some of this
latter class might we'll have been con-
sidered as dopesters in the preparation
of food products, as much as were
those who were adulterating other
lines of food products. Even our best
mills were forced to install these
bleaching plants against the advice at
times If the head millers themselves,
or against the better Judgment of those
who were the owners Of the mills be-
cause they were obliged to meet COM
petition by the meanest man in the
business. Was the purpose of adding
those bleaching plants to improve the
quality of the flour produced, or was it
to enable them to perpetrate a fraud?
In my judgment, in the majority of
cases, fraud was the foremost thought
among those who We're the promoters
Of his business.
The installation Of the milling and
baking plant enable the food depart
ment to take q stand against the
bleaching of flour which was then
working to the direct injury and det-
riment Of North Dakota grown wheat.
1t enabled interruptions millers or
blenders of -four to purchase dark
colored or yellow and cheaper wheat
products, or damaged wheat flour,
bleach the same to resemble that pro-
duced from the superior North Dakota
hard wheat. What was the result?
This was forcing the price of the North
Dakota superior and best grades OF
wheat to a level with the inferior
grades that could by the process OF
bleaching be made white in appear
ance and thus be used as a substitute
for the superior product produced
from our hard spring wheats in North
Dakota. This was forcing the price Of
the North Dakota best grades Of wheat
to a level Of the inferior grades, and
had the process of bleaching continued
in less than five years or at the pres
ent time, the farmers OF North Dakota
would have received no more for their
hard spring wheat than is secured for
the cheaper and more inferior grades
and our product would have come dI-
rectIy in competition with the less
white and inferior product produced
from the Turkey Red wheat. But with
the doing away with bleaching there
is a demand for North Dakota wheat
that will make a wheat -four to brine
up the grade of -four made from other
wheats. North Dakota farmers are
entitled to the benefits that come frotr
growing such wheats and in my judg-
ment there is no question but what ths

and his information and work, to-
gether with other influences that have
been at work in the state and country,
have brought h price of durum
wheat to approximately the same level
as that for fife n blue stem of the
same grade. 1t is doubtful if we ever
see the spread in prices that has ex-
listed in times past. Would this bene-
fit have come to the farmers of North
Dakota had there not been a fight
made in their interests and expert
ments conducted to substantiate the
claims?
Attention should also be called to the
fact that a larger industry should be
built UP in the United States in the
manufacture of a superior grade of
macaroni produced wholly from dur
UNI wheats. Today, it is said that
much of the maCaroni produced in this
country (and that of a most inferior
quality) is made from soft wheats not
suitable for the production Of maca-
Toni; but when high grade durum is
used the article is found to be the
equal, If not the superior, of much of
the macaroni produced in Italy. You
would do we'll, therefore, to
the use Of macaroni as an economical
article of food and the production of
macaroni from the true durum or mac
aronf types of wheat as grown in the
northwest, thus building UP another
industry of vast Importance to the
people Of this state and insuring a de-
mand for this product which will com
mand a price equal TO that of the best
wheats produced in America.
] desire to cali attention to the fact
that two years age the department re-
ceiVed on appropriation from the state
to continue the experimental work in
the testing of wheats, flours and mill
ing products Of the state, and therefore
has not been. in a position to do very
much during the past year. The de-
partment has co-operated as far as
possible in the work with the depart
ment OF agriculture at Washington,
but could accomplish little directly for
the benefit Of the farmers of North
Dakota.
During the past fall there has beer
considerable complaint on the part OF
many wheat growers with regard to
the character Of the grade which was
given them at the elevators, but the
department could send no man out to
make a study of the problem for funds
were not available. We earnestly urge
therefore. that your influence be given
to continue to the fullest extent the
appropriation from the state specific
ally for this purpose.
In the spring we shall hear a great
deal with regard to the price that will
be paid for wheat that has remained
in the shock u~nthreshed, as well as
with regard to the price paid for flax
which remained In the field until the
spring. 1t lis believed that had the de-
partment had the funds available, II
could be shown that the amount of
damage was not as great in many in
stances as is claimed; or, that even
the effect on the fforr of the introduc-
ton Of d small amount Of sprouted
grain or bIeached, or sun-burned, IL
not as great as is made inthe dis

The good land in this state, every
acre Of it, can produce at a low
estimate from $1,000 to $500 per
acre. If it produces $1,000 per acre,
that is ten per cent on a $4,000
an acre farm. You think that if
some one would come and offer you
$4,000 or $500 or $4,000 an acre
o would stick him. Now if you
can't buy an equal number Of acres
for less money, don't sell our land.
Hold on to it. The time will come
when it will be worth 10000 an
acre if you take car of it. and there
is no reason why it should not be
worth $4,000"
