Whole of Russia

Over NetU Offensive

The new Russian offensive has ere
ated enthusiasm through the whole
country, the Petrograd correspondent
Of "The Jewish Daily Forward cabled
that newspaper yesterday. Street pro-
cessions and celebrations are taking
place everywhere. and the gloom Of
the last six weeks has entirely disap-
peared. The message reads:
"In an address before the All Rus
sian Congress Of the Councils of Work
mems and Soldiers Delegates, NJ
Tseretelli, minister and leader OF the
council, said that the new Russian
offensive on the Galician front is the
turning point of the revolution. He
said that its continuation is the only
means of uniting the strength OF the
revolution and assuring ultimate VIC
tory for the principles Of the reyolu-
tion in Russia and in the world.
"Patriotic manifestations in connec--
ton with the news of the activity OF
the army are still going on, and the
innumerable street professions are
more enthusiastic than ever. All the
gloom and pessimism of the last month
or so vanished as by charm, and all
feel confident that with the restoration

telling the proprietor Nathan New

They ran TO the street. crossed vacant
lots and were lost in the darkness.
The robbers wore soft hats and red
handkerchiefs over their faces when
they entered. They closed the doors
and covered their victims with re-

resist and was knocked down with a
heavy blow on the head. The rabbi
was treated likewise when he at

1arations regarding the working Of the

official Wolf News Bureau cables ample
reports to the neutral press, were not
the ONLY matters before yesterdays
meeting of the Reichstag committee.
The Socialist organ, "Vorwaerts," in its
INDEPENDENT report OF the proceedings

Ebert, the Socialist, devoted considera-
bic attention TO the unsatisfactory con
ditions in the nutrition of the people
and the prospect of an inadequate sup
ply of fuel for the fourth war winter
which the Germans probably VIII be
called on 10 face.
Herr Erzberger. the Clerical leader,
and Herr Won Payer, Radical, supported
in general Herr Ebert's view OF condi-
tions and criticised the governments
inefficient measures for dealing with
the problem.
REPRESENTATIVES of various parties
expressed divergent views on the peace
puestion. which was also discussed by
She committee. Herr Ebert said the
government could have peace this sum-
mer II it would only offer peace without
annexations and indemnities to all op-
ponents and abandon separate over
lures TO Russia.
Herr Erzbcrger said the formula Of
the Russian Council of Deputies was
impossible and impracticable. He
warned the government representatives
against awakening false optimism by
their statements.
Herr Won Payer said that further
Veace profTers were harmful and tend
10 defeat the German object. The only
thing TO do, he said, was TO hold out,

Durum Varieties Are
Best Rust Resistant
Wheat Says Uncle Sam
Choice of Varieties Important Factor in Minimizing
Loss to Spring Wheat Growers Results Of Expert
ments in North and South Dakota and Minnesota

durum wheats are also high yielders
in normal seasons. At the present
time two varieties are in general use
in this section-the Kubanka and the
Arnautka. The Kubanka. it is said, is
best adapted for growing in the drier,
western sections of the hard spring
wheat belt. The Arnautka can be
grown farther east, because it is less
affected than the Kubanka by humid
climate or by seasons that are abnor-
mally wet.
OF the varieties of common wheat
there are now four in general use-the
Marquis, Preston (velvet chaf0, Fife,
and Bluestem. OF these, the Marquis
produced the largest average yield,
but in central and eastern South Da-
kota the Preston did better. The
higher yielding ability of the Marquis
in comparison with other common
wheats under rust conditions is said
to be due, at least in part, to its earli-
ness which enables 1t to escape the
rust. rather than to any inherent
quality of rust resistance. The Pres
ton yielded better than the other two
varieties-the Fife and the Bluestem.
1t usually is slightly less injured by
rust than these. which are quite sus-
ceptible. Fife was found to suffer less
from rust than Bluestem. The fol-
lowing table shows the results of the
tests in detail.

THREE DAYS LEFT IN

County Treasurer Martins Office Kept
on Jump-40 Per Cent Paid

Taxpayers had better take a
"hunch" to the fact that whtn the
county treasurer's ONCE closes this
afternoon there are only three days
left in which they can pay their taxes
without a penalty attached. February
% Is the last day Of grace.
For the past week County Treasurer
John Martin and his assistants have
been kept on the jump. All day long
lines OF people have passed before the
windows and the mails are loaded with
checks. This morning Treasurer Mar
tin stated that he estimated that 40
per cent Of the taxes have been paid
up to date and that this number would
be greatly reduced by Monday night
as collections are being rapidly made.
There have been some who held on
paying their taxes for a time In the
hope that the semi-annual tax pay
ment measure would pass the present
session OF the legislature, but even
had this measure passed IL would not
have become effective for the current
taxes. Holding or has made the rush
a great one during the past week.

Washington. d. c.. Feb. 24.-That
the growing of durum wheats is a
useful precaution against heavy losses
in seasons when rust prevails is indi-
Gated by the results of experiments
conducted by the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the state
experiment stations in North Dakota,
South Dakota, and Minnesota. In
these three states, the leaders in the
production of hard spring wheat, it is
estimated that the total loss in 1916
was approximately 179,000,000 bushels.
Although part Of this loss was caused
by wheat scab, hot weather, and other
factors, 1t was due largely to severe
and widespread epidemic of stem, or
black rust. It is always possible that
similar epidemics will occur in the
future. and the use of varieties which
viii resist rust is. therefore, of the ut
most Importance to farmers.
At the present time the United
States department of agriculture and
the state experiment stations are
working to produce rust-resistant
varieties through breeding and selec-
ton. This work, it is said, has not
yet progressed far enough to be of
immediate practical value to the spring
wheat growers. What they wish to
know at the moment. Is what varieties
of spring wheat now available are
most rust resistant.
From the results obtained in 1915
from tests in the states of North Da-
kota, South Dakota, and Minnesota,
it appears that durum varieties give
better yields under rust conditions
than varieties Of common wheat. The

Dururn.

The six varieties included in this
table together comprise about 95 per
cent of the wheat raised in North and
South Dakota and in Minnesota. In
1914 1t was estimated that about 40
per cent of all the wheat grown in
these states was Bluestem. During the
past two years, however. the acreage
of this variety has decreased because
experience has shown 1t to be rela-
lively low yielding variety. Fife wheat
makes up less than Is per cent of the
total wheat crop in the three states,
and is grown more in North Dakota
than in either of the other two. Pres
ton wheat comprises about 20 per cent
of the wheat crop Of the area, being
grown chiefly in South Dakota and
