GOVT. TAKING UP IMPORTANCE
OF POSSIBILITIES OF PALMETTO

Miami, Sept. S.-The United
States department of agriculture has
already begun to recognize the i'm
portance of the palmetto with refer
ence to it's tannic acid percentage as
well as the possibilities for manu-
featuring paper, from the palmetto
wood pulp.
Walter j. Lloyd, who is conduct
ing a line of experiments with re-
gard to tanning leather with the
fannie acid extracted from the roots
of the palmetto as we'll as from the
mangrove bark, and which expert
ments have proven a success, is in
receipt of a letter of inquiry from
the bureau of chemistry of the de-
partment of agriculture. The inquiry
comes from the leather and paper
laboratory, and is regarded as i'm
portant from the fact that the de-
partment seems to believe in the i'm
portance of this native product.
The letter, which bears the sigma
ture of F. P. veitch, the chemist, in
charge of this laboratory, calls at
tention to the published accounts of
Mr.. Lloyd's experiments with the
saw palmetto with reference to tan
ming, and asks what use will be
made of the extracted residue. The
letter says:
Department of Agriculture,
Bureau of Chemistry,
Washington, D. c.
'fMr w. J. Lloyd,
Miami, Florida:
Dear Sir-We note in recent
trade literature that you contem
plate engaging in the manufacture
of tanning extracts from saw palmet-
to. We would be very glad to learn
what you are offering the farmer per
ton or cord for the raw material and
what percentage of tanning you find
it contains. We would also like to be
advised to what use you make of
the extracted residue.
'''If you are already in operation
we will appreciate receiving samples,
preferably taken from the Clipped
material representing different class
es of palmetto before and after ex-
traction.
1.-THE above samples can be for
warded to this laboratory by express
collect.
Thanking you in advance for
whatever information you can give
us, we beg to remain,
Respectfully,

ALL OF THE NORTHWEST
SHOULD BE INTERESTED
IN SEATTLE LAND SHOW

The success from every point of
view of next years Land Products
Dairy and Stock show to be held in
Seattle, is abundantly assured by the
personnel of it's recently formed Or
ganization, which includes the presi-
dent of each of the four large COM
mercial organizations as we'll as the
principal officer in the west of each
railway and steamship transporta-
ton line.
There is the same relative reason
for Northwest Land Products Dairy
and Stock show exploiting the Won
derful advantages OF the entire
northwest and Alaska, as there is for
the various state fairs of this sec
ton exploring the advantages of
their respective states. There is,
however, this difference, that north
| west Land Products, Dairy and Stock
show should be on a much larger
scale, and the present management OF
the show to be held in Seattle fully
realizing this has provided ample
capital to make the Seattle show the
kind of an exposition which it should
be, under the circumstances. The
Seattle show has the backing finan.
dially, morally and otherwise, not
only of the business interests of Sc.
attic, but very largely of the princi
pal business interests of the entire
northwest.
The officers of the new company
are positive in their statement thai
every effort will be made to make
the Seattle show the largest show
of it's kind that has ever been hello
in the United States.
The immense success with which
the Seattle show met last year as
first attempt together with the extra
ordinary arrangements which have
been perfected for increasing the
size of the show next year indicates
that one can confidently expect tt
see in Seattle in 1917 one of the
best, if not the best, exhibits of it:

more per acre than the common
strain of Turkey which they have
been growing.
When to Seed Winter Wheat.
Date of seeding tests have been
carried on for six years. On the av-
erage the best results have been OBJ
tanned from plots sown between Aug
ust ~ and September 20. 1t may
happen, however, that in some years
there is not enough moisture in the
soil during August and September
to terminate the wheat and under
such conditions late seeding is likely
to give better results. In ordinary
years wheat seeded after September
20 is more likely to winter kill than
when seeded earlier.
How Much Seed to Use.
Rates of seeding tests with winter
wheat have been conducted for six
years, the rate of seeding ranging
from two to eight pecks per acre.
There was very little difference in
the yields produced from the three
and four peck rates of seeding, the
rates from which the highest yields
were obtained. Because of the free
tilling of winter wheat it is not
necessary to seed heavily to get a
good stand. Seeding more than four
pecks to the acre not only reduces
the yield but the quality of the grain.
Three pecks per acre is the rate of
seeding recommended.
Spring Wheats.
Spring wheat does best when sown
at the rate of four pecks to the acre.
The date of seeding is governed by
climatic conditions, the best results
being obtained when the wheat is
seeded as soon as soil and weather
conditions in the spring will permit.
Twenty fine varieties were tried
out and the highest yields were OBJ
tanned from the durum wheats. OF
these Pelissier has been the best pro-
Queer. Marquis was grown only
three years but during that time was
considering it's excellent milling quail
tiles 1t is recommended as one of the
best varieties to grow.
A comparison of the leading varie-
ties of winter and spring wheats
shows that on average years the win
ter wheat yields about eight bushels
more per acre ana during dry years
will produce three or four times as
much as the spring wheats.
Results With Other Grains.
The highest average yield of oats
was obtained from the Sixty Day.
This variety averaged about 1 6 BUSH
els per acre more than later maturing
varieties. The rate of seeding for
early varieties is four pecks per acre.
White Smyrna barley, two-rowed
hulled variety, has given the highest
average yield. The hulled varieties
of barley should be seeded at the rate
of five pecks per acre and the naked
varieties at the rate of four pecks
per acre.
In pounds per acre the average
yield of White Smyrna barley is great
er than that of the best variety of
any other cereal crop. Kharkov wheat
is second, and Sixty Day oats is third
In value per acre, based on the
farm price on December l of each
year, Kharkov winter wheat is first
with White Smyrna barley second.
