WHEAT
FOR ARID ACRES
Wild Emmer Variety Would
Grow on Many Useless
Montana Farms.
BIG FOOD RESOURCE
Wyoming Professor Finds
That 1t Will Prosper in
Driest Country.

II Professor H. G. Buffnm OF Worr
land. Wyo.. had begun his experiments
with emmer wheat earlier. and had he
received more aSsistaioe from Amer
lean agricultural officials ana colleges,
1t Is altogether likely that We would
not now have wheatless days on our
program.
For In emmer wheat lies the key of
production TO hundreds OF millions OF
American acres now unused because OF
their altitude or lack of moisture.
decade ago Professor Ruffun
brought to this country few grains
OF emmer wheat, then "A wild and stub
bornly- bearded grain. 1t grew in pal
estine. Egypt and other old world lands
50 high and dry that other grains re-
fused to grow upon them
Good on Arid Land.
The very thing for our western arid
land" Professor Buffum said Pro-
lessor Ruffum began experimenting. He
had to produce a larger grain than
the wild emmer of Palestine and to
eliminate the spine-like beard. Both
of these things he did by choosing each
year the larger and less bearded seed
Season by season eminer wheat was
grown in wider and wider apart sec
tons. Last summer II was sown as
experiments in practically all western
mountainous and arid states. one Colo
RADIO farmer raised ten times as much
emmer wheat per acre as of the other
varieties. Various reports of from 40
to - bushels were reported --all grown
on land too high and dry for other
wheat IN these same sections the
usual wheat yield is from five To II
bushels an acre.
Under irrigation Professor Buffum
asserts. winter emmer wheat will FRO
duco from $50 to $50 bushels per acre
and that spring emmer grown whore
winters will freeze out winter seeded
land) will run from 30 to so bushels to
the acre.
This shows What an enormously
great unrealized food resource we had
this year and last, yet we allowed
those hundred of millions of acres to
lie idle
And because so little emmcr wheat
was grown this year we must let most
or those acres remain uncultivax,d
next year for there isn't enough seed
emmer to sow more than small por-
ton of the arid waste
While cmmer wheat lacks the co
hcsiveness which makes the doughty
condition for bread, it can be used for
sraVies, pancakes. buildings. buns.

Washington, y. c.. Dec S-One of

made in the reclamation OF the arid
west Is at present in progress in
Quincy valley. Washington, where well
water is being pumped from maximum
depts of 400 feet to irrigatc apple
ochards. and where, at one of the
largest plants. about LOCO gallons a
minute is recovered by means of a
huge reciprocating pump from "A sin
gle well in which the water stands
about 80 feet below the surface.
In order to ascertain more definitely
the quantity of ground water available
for pumping in this region, the United
States geological survey, department
OF the interior. in response to requests
and inquiries from many interested
persons. recently investigated the
ground water conditions Information
on the magnitude of the supply was
desired especially. in order to deter
mine the amount of power required
for pumping, and the feasibility of
using hydro electric power generated
by the, Columbia river to replace the
expensive power obtained from the
internal combustion engines now in
use. The investigation was made by
a. T. Schwennesen in the fall OF 1916.
