QUALITY OF WHEAT

Bulletin Of Colorado Experiment
Station Tells Cause Of YeI-
low Berry and Remedy.

tBy G. p. GILLETTE. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins)
Millers prefer wheat that Is hard
and fiinty, to a wheat that Is made
up Of kernels that are white and
starchy In cross-section. Kernels of
the latter type are softer and more
easily crushed and are spoken Of as
'soft wheat" A considerable reduc-
tion In price is often made when this
soft" wheat Is offered for sale.
DIR. w. +. Headden of the Colorado

succeeded In determining the cause
Of this trouble and also the remedy.
which every farmer can supply. He
tells all about IL In Bulletin POS Of
the experiment station which Will be
sent free to any farmer who will write
for II.
In brief. the cause of "yellow-berry"
Is n high percentage Of potash in the
soil In proportion to the available
nitrogen. The remedy is to keep the
nitrogen content of the soil as high
as possible without increasing the
potash. This may be done by the ad.
dition Of nitrates, the rotation of
crops In which, alfalfa or some other
legume is used, and by proper tillage.

New Luncheon Cloth Idea

1t is new idea now among observ-
Ing housewives to have, instead Of the
round or square luncheon cloth, one
long runner for the square or oblong
table, with enough large and small
doilies matching 1t to fill In along the
sides. OF course, both ends Of the
table are covered by the runner, an
excellent idea when part Of the meal
is served from the table instead Of
from the 'side."
While this arrangement Is especially
appropriate for the oblong table, 1t can
be used for che square, oval or round
table with some modification. In the
square table the symmetry is often
better preserved by two runners cross
