INTEREST
SHOWN in FIELD
OF KOTA WHEAT

Pembina, N. D., Aug. 26.-Farmers
OF Pembina county. are displaying a
good deal of interest in a 40-acre field
of Kota wheat on the Ira Potter farm
near Crystal. This wheat was brought
from Russia by Prof. H. L. Bolley of
the North Dakota agricultural col
lege with a mixture Of d. and DIS
wheat. G. w. HOFFMAN of Backoc
has a one acre field of the same
variety.
The most appealing feature Of the
Kota variety is that it is a hard red
spring wheat. not a durum wheat,
and is said to be highly rust resist
ant. Apparently the rust did no
damage to the wheat in the Porter
wheat, although a few rust spots
could be see on the plants after
harvest. In common. with neighbour
ing fields of different varieties. this
field was damaged considerably by the
hot weather, and the grains are ONE
what shrunken. The heads resemble
velvet chaff, a. 1t Is a bearded va
riety. while the kernels are a tri1e
smaller than those of velvet chaff
wheat. It is believed that by the end
Of next year enough Of the seed will
be available so that farmers who wish
can give the variety a tryout.

and a very pleasing little person.
The headline act on the vaude-
vile program is "Playtime". In
which Francis X. Donegan and
Amelia Allen appear. These are two
musical comedy artists who offer a
program OF songs and pantomime
dances that would be a treat even
on the musical comedy stage. Little
Miss Allen, petite and graceful Is
something OF a contortionist.. Her
spectacular dancing is the feature OF
the evening. Mr.. Donegan is a
singer and a dancer OF no little
merit
Walsh. Reed and Walsh Is a trio
offering a complete program Of
variegated songs listed as "Old Dit

and have combined a pleasing bit OF
comedy to their number.

the stage and act just as well and
sing even better.
