ALCOHOL AND PNEUMONIA

The United States public health
service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. It
declares that alcohol is the handmade
en- Of the disease which produces ten
per cent of the deaths in the United
States. This is no exaggeration. We
have known for long time that in
diligence in alcoholic liquors lowers
the individual vitality, and that the
man who drinks is peculiarly suscep-
tible to pneumonia. The United
States public health service is con-
sentative body. It does not engage
in alarmist propaganda. In following
out the line of it's official duties it
has brought forcefully to the general
public a fact which will bear endless
repetition. The liberal and contin-
uous user Of alcoholic drinks will do
well to heed this warning, particular
ly at this season of the year when the
gruesome death toll from pneumonia
is being doubled.

LOOK OUT FOR POLISH WHEAT

Washington, March 1.-THE U. S.
department of agricultural recently
has been informed that Polish wheat
is being offered for sale in Montana Il.
the exorbitant price of 81 per pound.
Polish wheat is a variety more closely
related to the durum wheats than to
the common wheats. The head is
three to six inches long and one-half
to three-quarters of an inch wide,
usually flexible instead of stiff. The
chaff is very long, and thin and pa
papery. 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 finty
and of an amber color.
A few years ago this wheat was ex-
plotted in Idaho under the misleading
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. It is carried in stock
and sold as novelty by most seed.
men. 1t has been tested by many ex.
pertinent stations and has never been
found to yield as we'll as good varie
ties 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 also
under irrigation if not watered toe
much. They state that Polish farm
| ers in Montana claim that this wheat
yields from IS to $50 bushels per acre
and makes the very best of -four an6
hog feed.
These statements are directly con
trary to the experience of the depart
ment of agriculture and several state
experiment stations. They are also
contrary to the experience Of many
farmers who have written to the de
partment at one time or another.
! The accumulated evidence regard
ing this wheat does not indicate that
it has any value that will in any way
justify the charge of 81 a pound fol-
the seed, and farmers are advised moi
to be mislead by the glowing state
ments regarding yields and value
which have been made concerning this
variety.
