German reply which gave assurances
that no ships would be sunk without
warning and provision for safety OF
passengers and crew. He recounted
the provision the German government
attached, which in effect reserved to
itself the right to recant it's promises
II the United States did not secure
relaxation OF the British restraints on
commerce, and then quoted from the
reply OF the United States, which re-
fused to consider a conditional pledge
and gave Germany final warning that
1t could not entertain or discuss any
such suggestion.
The president did not refer to the
long list OF submarine operations
which have been conducted In viola4

ion Tor Wheat
Growers.

The Department of Agriculture
has recently issued under date OF
May 20, 1916, Bulletin No. 1872.
which contains information OF
much value to wheat growers OF
of Idaho and particularly SO on
the irrigated tracts.
This Bulletin gives the results
of the Departments investments
relative to Marquis variety OF
Wheat, which has been grown
successfully for number OF years
in North Dakota OF Idaho.
A careful survey of The results
obtained in the several sections
where the wheat is grown has
justified the Department in advls
ing against the planting OF this
variety of wheat west of the
Rocky Mountains.
Their investiga tion has proven
that the white varieties, such as
the Dlcklow, Defiance and other
varieties, will outyicld the Mar
quis and they advise against the
growing of this variety on the
irrigated tracts.
Several years of continuous
demonstration has proven the
superiority OF Dicklow over all
other varictlesin Southern Idaho
and by a careiulseiection of fSeed
maintaining, AS near AS possible
pure strain and excluding all
other varieties, there is no quest
ton but that the yield can and
will be materially increased Oh
all irrigated tracts.
This can not be, however, ex
cept by the exercise OF much carr
in the selecting of the cleares
strain ofDicklow obtainabl a ne
by the maintaining or improving
the quality of the seed each year
