de Nebraska, producer una eXcelen-
te harina. La mejor clase de harina
Use hace con trigo duro o con mezclas
de este y de trigo suave. FL trigo de
macarrones es ell mas duro de todos.
Sc exporta para la manufacture de
los macarrones Y Sc ha comenzado q
usar para la harina.
La introduction de las ~variedades
turcas ha hecho que sea productive
Ia siembra de trigo en- Kansas, Ne
braSka V otros Estados en- los que no
proSperan las ~variedades suaves Ell
trigo duro crece aun con poca lluvia.
La reciente introduction de csc tipo
ha hecho que miles de acres de tierras
semiaridas. Sc dediquen ahora a. cul-
two del trigo.
FL trigo Sc presta mas que otras
semillas a ser cultivado por medic de
m~aquinas. Cast todas las mas ricas
haciendas son de trigo. pero aun
gran parte de la siembra del trigo Sc
hace en- Ell mundo a mano, o con apa-
ratios muy inperfectos.
e. trico es mas a proposito para
las estaciones cortas que ell maiz Y
por ESQ Sc da mejor en- Ell Norte. Su
crecimiento Sc completa en- POGO item
pc Y mucho antes que llegue la es-
tacion de Secas; de aqui que puede
grocer en- regiones secas donde e!
maiz no prcSperaria.
Algunos de los mejores terrenos
para el trigo, son los barrosOs que nc
son aproposito para ell maiz. En-
las regiones en- que e. china es q pro-
posito para el cultivo del maiz Sc
siembra este aun en- los terrenos ba-
rroSos, nc porque Sc de mejor que el
trigo, sino porque el maiz deja ma
yores rendimientos.
e. terreno para el trigo Sc ara
frecuentemente, aunque a veces bas-
ia Ia aplicaci6n del arad~ de discos.
FL labrantio temprano para Ia siem-
bra de otono es el mejor porQue en-
tonces Sc pueden dominar mejor las
malas hierbas y conser:ar el aqua de
lluvia. Sc han hecho muchos expe-
rimentos para yer 81 es preferable
arar profundamente a cast esparcirlo

que el arado profundo es el que da
mejores resultados.
Lo que Sc ha dicho respecto al

tambien APPLICABLE al trigo.

CASTlNE ALUMNI ASSN.
reels the Pinch of Peace No Less
Than That of War.

IMAM Ihat OF War.
For many years the graduates of the
Eastern State Normal school of Castine,
under the name Of the Castine Normal
Alumni association, have perpetuated
their interest in their alma mater and
their love for each other, by holding q
session OF three weeks during late Jaly or
August OF each year. This session is called
scamp and as several OF these early
meetings were held in tents, the name
was appropriate aud it was perpetuated
vixen, in 1890, cottage, Csstinc Alumni
Camp, was opened.
Up to the summer OF 1918, the encamr-
ments have been held regularly in the
scamp" which now boasts an additional
building called 1.-THE Lodge" Here came
the tired workers OF the public schools to
rest; here came the superintendents to
find rested teachers tor the fail work;
here, too, came those who had found more
remunerative occupations, and those who
were now the home makers. Maine sent
her quota, but Massachusetts, sen the
largest delegation. Even far Honolulu,
San Juan. California, Minnesota and
the South sent back their borrowed sons
and daughters for the joyous encamp-
ment. Few schools of like size can boast
OF as many alumni associations and none
has anything approaching this ,encamp-
ment.
Lucky indeed was that graduate who
could attend regularly. Aside from the
matter of rest and relaxation and of
business profit, there was that greater
privilege, the enjoyment of proven
friends.
Then, in 1918, all this was changed.
The United States needed ships; the
Sandy Point Shipbuilding Co. was
formed; and the two colt ges were taken
over. Thus the campers found them
selves without a summer home Two
OF the members wrote Prot Richardson
and Mr.. Hall OF the faculty of the normal
school at Castln-, who evolved a plan
for an encampment in the dear town
Of Castine and in the wonderfully ct
traetive dormitory connected with the
school. ALI this was delightful, save
that the expense put the association in
oeot, though 1t was made as light as
possible through the generosity OF the
State of Maine.
Again, in 1913, another change has
come. The association finds itself worse
OF than before. Its own buildings are in
use, and State Superintendent Thomas
is using the dormisory to further
the interests OF the rural schools Of
Maine. 1t would seem as il there must
be lapse this year III the time honored
custom of eneampment.
Bravely the president has wrestled
with the problem OF housing and feeding,
but rothing BETTING the school teachers
poekethook mas been found. Sadly
the secretary must soon announce that
there will be no camp" this year,
unless-bnt unless what? This is not the
millennium.
