SAYS POLISH WHEAT
IS NOT PROFITABLE
ICopyrlKht.l

The department of agriculture re-
Gently has been informed that Polish |
wheat is being offered for sale in
Montana at the exorbitant price of
81 per pound, says the departments
weekly news letter of March %.
Polish wheat is variety more close
ly related to the durum wheats than
to the common wheats. The head
is to 6 inches long and one-half to
three-quarters of an inch wide, usu-
ally flexible instead of stiff. The
chaff is very long, and thin and pa
perry. The kernels are larger than
those of durum wheat and about
twice as long as those of ordinary
varieties Of common wheat. Like
those of durum wheat, the kernels
are flinty and of an amber color.
A few years ago this wheat was
exploited in Idaho under the mis-
leading name Corn wheat" 1t has
also been exploited at different times
as Jerusalem rye" Giant rye"
etc.
This wheat is grown to a slight ex-
tent in southeastern Europe, but
never has been grown commercially
in the United States. 1t is carried
in stock and sold as a novelty by
most seedsmen. It has been tested
by many experiment stations and has
never been found to yield as we'll as
good varieties Of common and durum
wheat. From our present knowledge,
it is not recommended for growing
anywhere in the United States.
Those offering the seed claim that
it does very we'll on dry land and al
SO under irrigation if not watered toe
much. They state that Polish farm
ers in Montana claim that this whea
yields from 80 to $50 bushels pei
acre and makes the very best o.
-four and hog feed.
These statements are directly con
trary to the experience of the de
partment and several state. expert
ment stations. They are also con
trary to the experience of man!
farmers who have written to the de
partment at one time or another.
> The accumulated evidence regard
ing this wheat does not indicate tina
it has any value that will in any wa
justify the charge of 81 q pound TO
: the seed. and farmers are advise
. not to be misled by the CLOWN
i. statements regardingyield and valu
which have been made concernin
= this variety.

methods especially designed for that
purpose. The gas, which is a very
good illuminating gas, will perhaps
be sufficient to furnish all the heat
required to distill the crude oil from
the shale.
The ammonia is a most valuable
by-product of the distillation and
may be utilized in the manufacture
of commercial fertilizer or other
nitrogen compounds, as the market
demands. The Unined States Geo
logical Survey has examined large
areas of the shale in Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming and has made many
distillation tests. Some beds of
shale that are several feet thick will
yield more than a barrell of oil to
the ton of shale, and one bed six
inches thick will yield more than
two barrels of crude oil to the ton
of shale. One ton of this shale
should therefore yield nearly 10 gal
Ions of gasoline by the present COM
mercial methods of gasoline extrac-
tion, and larger yields may be made
possible by new methods.
Little attention has been paid to
this shale because the quantity of
petroleum produced from the wells
in the United States has been suffici-
ent to satisfy all demands, but fol-
more than so years the oil shalen in.
dustry of Scotland has been very
important one. In a recent year
more than 5000 men were employ
ed in the Industry of that country
yet the average yield of oil per tor
of shale was much less than that
which appears possible from th'
shale Of Colorado and Utah. It i
estimated that in Colorado alone
there is sufficient shale, in bed
three feet or more thick and richer
than the shale being mined in Scot
land, to yield twenty billion barrel
of crude oil, from which at leas
two billion barrels of gasoline ma
be extracted by ordinary refining
processes.
AS was stated in the recent re
ply of Secretary Lane to a senat
; resolution on the subject of gasoline
The development'of this enormou
reserve simply awaits the time whe
the price of gasoline or the deman
for other distillation products wal
E rants the utilization of this subst
tute source. This may happen i
: the future. At all events thes
: shales are likely to be drawn upo
' long before the exhaustion of tt
9 petroleum fields.

Golf Tournament Begins

Del Monte, Cal, July 17.-Five play
ers stood out above all others as most
likely contenders for the title when
the western amateur golr championship
tournament began today on the links
of the Del Monte Country club. Doug
las Grant, L. S. Armstrong, Heinrich
Schmidt, Jack Neville and J. S. Worth
ington, former Irish champion, made
up the little group one of whom, ac'
to observers, will win the title
Nearly 120 golfers, led off in the
first half of the qualifying round this
morning. This afternoon the second
half will be played and tomorrow the
32 players with the lowest scores will
be sent away in the first round OF
match plays.
Great interest has been shown by
golfing enthusiasts in the game played
by Douglas Grant who recently won
the Northern California championship
For six months he has been living in
the vicinity of Del Monte and has
played the course almost daily. Fol-
some time he has been shooting close
to 72 strokes for the round, which is q
remarkable performance, and If he
feels right during the match play
rounds is counted on by his friends tc
come through and win.
Heinrich Schmidt and "Scotty
Armstrong, are generally picked as
Grant S most formidable opponents
Both are playing at the top of theil
form. Armstrong's great experience
and his refusal to let trouble bother
him will stand him in great stead when
the pinch comes.

Yankees Hold Their Own

New York, July 1.-THE New York
Yankees are holding their lead in the
American league with spirit that
makes champions.
Despite the loss of three of thell
stars through injuries, during tn'
fiercest invasion of the year by the
western clubs, they have entrencheo
themselves and have so far repulsed al
contenders for first place.
When Fritz Maisel fractured his
collar bone, Hughey High leaped info
the breach with spectacular catches
and hard hitting. Roy Hartzell filled
in the gap in right when Gilhooley
broke his ankle and was lost to the
team.
The injury to Frank Baker on Fri
day when he fractured rib i'll a chase
after foul flv. finds Boone and Bau
man already fighting for the hot cor
ner job with almost as brilliant
brand of baseball as the trappe slug
ger himself displays.
Though they have met the best
pitching and hardest hitting in the
league during the last two weeks, th'
Yanks have held the place despite IN
nries to three of their best men.

Deal Is Not Perfected Bu|
Reds Would Give Giants
Herzog for Him

Cincinnati, July II. = Christy
Mathewson, famous pitcher of the New
York Giants, is slated to manage the
Reds, but the deal has not gone
through yet, and may not be made.
This was stated by Garry Hermann,
president of the Reds before he went
into session today with the Cincinnati
club S board.
"The New York club wants to re-
tain claim on Mathewson so that he
can be recalled at the end of two
years. said Hermann.
"We cannot accept that condition
If Matty comes to the Reds it probab-
ly will be in trade by which Cincin-
natl gives up Manager Herzog and Kill

said.
There is chance, Hartmann said
that Herzog might be traded to the
Giants without Matty coming to the
Reds, or some other club might get
Herzog. Every team in the league ex
cept Philadelphia and st. Louis is af

PUBLIC ADMITTED TO
SCHOOL MATINEES

II may not be generally known
that on payment Of the price OF ad-
mission the public Is admitted to the
matinees at which the tickets given
the school children as recognition OF
good work are accepted. These ma
tinees are under the supervision Of
the Parent Teacher association to
some extent, and It was hoped to be
able to confine the subjects Of pic
lures shown to those OF purely edu-
cational value. The management OF
the picture house has found this TO
be impossible on account OF the cost.
1t being prohibitive for a perform
ance where most OF the audience Is
admitted free OF charge. Hence.
there can be shown only such films
as are used for the evening perform
ances, and the most appropriate Of
these is chosen each week For this
reason the day OF the matinee varies.
Whenever parents can attend with
their children 1t is desirable for them
to do so, that they may have an In
tellIgent idea OF the best that can be
done under the conditions.

President Parent Teachers
Association.
