MIRACLE WHEAT"
NOT RECOMMENDED
United States Department
Of Agriculture Gives Va
riety a Black Eye.

WASHINGTON, Aug Is. - The
Miracle or StUner wheat, the his
tory of which has recently been given
In United States department of agri-
culture bulletin No. S57, is being al e.
vertigcd in southwestern oklahoma
as the greatest jrought-resisting va
ii,ty of wheat that mas ever Leeu pro-
duced.'
After a trial of three years in this
section, two years uf which were wet.
its performance is spoken OF as prov
irC beyond a doubt that il the wheat
for the semiarid SECTIONS of the south l.
west II is further stated that 'it
requires only twenty to thirty pounds
Cf seed per acre, while other varieties
are sown in quantities Of frcm 10 to
IS pounds per acre"
Miracle wheat also known as
"S,orcr." Marvellous" Eden" For
ty-to-One," and perhaps by other
names has had brief but eyentful
career
Three great advantages have been
asserted for this wheat by various
promoters at different times: %
That il would outyield any other Va
riety anywhere; ca That it sent up
more stems from one seed than any
other variety of wheat, ana 90 That
twenty pounds of seed per acre pro-
duced the maximum yields while
other varitics required l2O pounds.
L. :. Investigates
These assertions were Investigated
by the United states department of
agriculture. and number OF tests
have shown that the Stoner wheat is
not SO good as some Of The wheat:s
now grown in the eastern half of the
United States. but is somewhat bot
..fh hn h.. gas
OF average value. In comparative
tests. however, it has never outyielded
all other varieties, and many other
varieties have surpassed it. Common
varieties have exceeded it in the mum
her of stalks on a plant As for the
rate of seeding, the tests show that
yields Of this variety are increased
when sown at rates of seeding higher
than those advocated by its pro
mOtCrS.
II is not advisable for the farmers
Of the semiarid southwest. the cereal
specialists of the department say, to
take up the growing Gf this wheat in
preference to turkey wheat. on the
basis OF any tests SO far made. This
socalled Miracle wheat has not shown
itself to be really a drought-resistaHt
sort 1t will probably prove disap-
Pointing in comparison with turkey
Nneat IN HdJoIltl OF tHe crop years.
In an unusually wet year II may give
good yields. and the present exploit
alton of the variety doubtless is due
largely 10 tht unusual conditions Of
1914 and 1915. In milling value the
wheat is not in the same class with
hard red winter wheats OF the tur-
key type. 1t belongs TO the soft red
or semihard winter wheat class.
which wheats generally produce flour
Of less strength or lower gluten con
tent than the hard wheats. II is also
reported by miliers as giving lower
Yield Of flour.
The Miracle wheat is practically
identical in appearance In ;ho field

the price advances would doubtless have been sen
