PROTECTING WHEAT AFTER
HARVEST

Quality depends greatly on the way
the wheat Is handled after it is ripe.
Permitting the grain to get wet in
shocks or stacks, is responsible for
much loss. AS result of exposure
to rain and sun, sprouting, molding,
heating in the stack or bin, some or
all Of which are practically sure to
take place when wheat is not promptly
threshed or carefully stacked, are Of
common occurrence. Wheat must 70
through the sweat and it is undoubted-
" better and more profitable to thresh
from the stack than from the shock
even though it may be little more
work in the first instance.
Threshing green or damp wheat and
putting it directly into the bin will
almost certainly result in a loss.
1t pays to produce quality wheat and
it is a burning shame to neglect the
crop after It is produced.

GOOD MN,LlNG WHEAT -
ALWAYS BRINGS A PREMIUM

NO. hard dark Northern is the
best bread making wheat in the
world. The ideal wheat for milling
should weigh SO pounds or more;
should contain IA per cent Of bread
gluten Of the proper quality; should
be hard and vitreous, Of dark red
color, free from yellow berry; free
from disease, especially smut and scab
1t should be cleaned and free from
cookie, king-head, mustard, wild peas,
rye, barley, other varieties os spring
wheat, durum and especially red
durum.
This is the kind of wheat that
millers want and are willing to pay
for. 1t is no uncommon occurrence
for millers to bid 25 cents to 40 cents
per bushel more for such wheat. Even
our seed wheat is badly mixed. While
much of : it purports to be Marquis,
yet 1t is mixed with the seed Of other
varieties of wheat and other grains
which are mostly inseparable.
The tendency for years has been to
raise as large a yield with as little
work as possible. Farmers have been
urged by advisors, who should know
better, to sacrifice quality for yield
and there is very little wheat of any
kind in the spring wheat territory
which is not contaminated by weed
seeds and disease in addition to the
mixtures which lower its value az
milling wheat.
Marquis wheat has become estab-
lished as the most desirable variety
available at present in nearly all
parts of the spring wheat states. The
territory where Marquis can profitably
be grown centers In the Red river
valley and covers nearly all of North
Dakota, the northeast quarter of
South Dakota, and we'll defined
region extending northwest and south.
east in Minnesota, about 12O counties
in all, although there are other regions
In certain years where good milling
wheat is raised.
There may be and doubtless are a
few localities where it is not profitable
to grow Marquis wheat but it may be
safely stated that there is no place
where good spring wheat has ever
been raised where it may not be raised
again, provided the three great dis.
eases, rust, scab and smut be elimi.
mated.
Wheat does not run out" It NAV
be bred and quality improved the
same as in animal husbandry. There
are farmers in every community who
farm on business principles, who yeal
In and year out make a great deal OF
mv1.ey and yet there are slip-shod
farmers who trust entirely to luch
who seldom, If ever, make continued
success; and yet farming must be 8
wonderful business because, in spite
Of IT'S abuse, the land seldom il
abandoned wherever it has been il
cultivation.
The cost of raising spring wheat
can never be determined unless a cost
system of accounting can be intro
duced.

HARD TO CREDIT THIS STORY
II True. However. Il Shows the Re,
markabte subtIety Of the Mind Of
the Oriental.

One ingenious If dishonest native Of
India turned his dark skin to excellent
account. One of the European exam
liners of Calcutta university, says Lord
Frederic Hamilton in his book days
Before Yesterday" told me that there
had been a great deal of trouble about
the examination papers; by some
means or other the native students al
ways managed to obtain what we may
term advance copies of the papers.
My Informant had accordingly devised
scheme to stop the leakage. Instead
Of having the papers printed in the
usual fashion he called in the services
of single white printer on whom he
could rely. The white printer received
the papers early on the morning Of the
day designated for the examination
and duly set them up on hand press
inside the building. He had one as
sistant, a coolie who was clad only in
Ioin cloth and turban; by no possibility
could he conceal any papers about his
person.
In spite of these precautions, how
ever, it soon became clear at the ex-
animation that some of the students
had a previous knowledge Of the ques-
tions. How had they managed it?
Eventually it appeared that the coolie,
taking advantage of the momentary
absence Of the white printer, had
whipped off his loin cloth, sat down
on the form" and then replaced his
solitary garment. When he was
obliged to strip on going out the
printing ink did not show on his dark
skin; and all that he had to do was to
sit down on a large sheet Of white
paper for the questions to be printed
off on it. Then, with the aid Of a mir.
ror, the students could easily read
them. The oriental mind is subtle.

CLIMATIC AND SOIL CONDITIONS
FOR WHEAT.

Wheat demands soil sufficiently
rich in plant food for proper growth
and maturity but not SO rich In nitro-
gen as to produce an excess OF straw
at the expense Of the kernels. The
hard spring wheat having the highest
bread making gluten content, can be
grown to perfection in the United
States only in a limited territory in
the Northwest.
The cool growing season with abuli-
dance of sunshine during the stages
Of filing and maturity and the hot
and dry harvest time SO typical Of our
prairies contribute strongly to the
best development of the hard wheat
varieties as we'll as to their harvesting
and the preservation of the crop.
While the weather does not cause
rust and other disease conditions, in
some years, when the weather is wet
and warm at the time the red spores
attack the wheat, it causes these
\ spores to multiply very rapidly. In
fact, many farmers think that wheat
rust is caused by the weather. Often
the maturing or ripening Of the crop
a few days earlier than usual, will es-
cape this rust menace almost COM
pletely.
The weather has not changed in the
Northwest sufficient to account for any
deterioration in wheat If the limit
ing factors Of disease could be re-
moved, there is no place In the spring
wheat territory where good wheat has
ever been grown, which cannot again
grow the very best hard milling wheat.
Progressive Rust Control.
It is matter Of congratulation that
we have discovered our greatest
enemy, the. barberry bush, upon which
the black rust spores Of wheat pass
the cluster cup stage to the red rust
stage.
Once this menace Is conquered by
the removal of all the barberry plants
we will have no occasion to blame the
weather. It is true that sometimes
the springs are too wet or too dry; that
the growing season is too wet, alternat-
Ing with hot weather, and that some
times we have long dry spells, but on
the other hand we have the weather
conditions as a general thing which
keen our wheat from turning to
yellow berry and produces those dark
amber. hard vitreous kernels from
which the celebrated spring wheat
-four has gained its great fame.

Treatment Increases YjeId.

Treatment Increases Yield.
The formaldehyde treatment of the
seed frequently increases the yield
more than would be naturally expect
ed from simply replacing the smutted
heads with sound ones. A substantial
gain is made from the use of formal.
dehyde. Increases Of over four bushels
per acre have been found in spring
wheat in which only little over one
and one-half bushels were actually
destroyed by smut. This is probably
due to the fact that the grain is at.
fected by other seed-borne parasites
than smut and scab, and which are
as efectually checked by the treat.
ment.
II wheat is scabby, there is danger
Of recurrence, as scab also lives In
the soil as well as on the seed.

Darlington, N. D., May 3.-Vividly
showing the advance that has been
made in automobile design during the
last twenty or more years, Lore Even
Of this city has resurrected the old
Sears horsless carriage that first
made its appearance in Darlington
many years ago.
The automobile was bought from a

was in use. It has two cyclinders
and is capable of making 20 miles on
a galoon Of gasoline.
The car takes on convulsions after
it attains speed of Is miles an hour.
The wheels are high like those of a
buggy. There were only few other
automobiles in the country at the time
the machine was purchased. It cost
$400, including freight to Darlington.

was the trouble with the grass but
some suppose that sulphur in some
