WHAT KIND OF WHEAT?
Tess Show Black Hull At Bottom
in Protein Contents

Farmers of Dickinson county who
are trying to improve their wheat by
careful seeding will be interested In
some recent tests. Complete results
Of laboratory and baking tests OF
hard wheat samples made in the
plant Of the FL Reno Mill & Elevator
Co. at FL Reno, have been announced
by officials of the company, and the
results are being used by the South
western Wheat Improvement Asso-
citation and the Oklahoma Millers'
Association in their campaign for
the planting of better seed wheat.
Generally speaking, samples of Tur-
| key Red wheat contained the high
est percentage of protein and Black
Hull the lowest.
The following is summary Of
results as to the milling and baking
value Of the three varieties of hard
wheat representative Of the hard
winter section of the state:
The milling value Of Kanred and
Turkey we're about the same. The
one sample Of Kanred. which con-
berry, was rather hard to clean up.
This is the millers' chief objection
to Kanred wheat, as the majority of
samples coming under our Observa-
ton contained a great amount Of
yellow berry and consequently run
low In protein. The milling yield
as determined on individual samples,
may be grossly misleading owing to
large source Of error In milling
small quantities. However, in aver
aging yields on varieties some in
formation may be obtained. The
average milling yield for Kanred and
Turkey were about the same, while
that of the Black Hull was highest.
This is accounted for by the Black
Hull having the highest average test
weight per bushel. 1t was noted in
milling that the Black Hull was also
harder to clean up, resembling the
softer wheats in this respect.
The average test weight for Kan
rd was 5SS lb., Black Hull, 61.O Id.
and Turkey Red 5S.S lb.
The average protein content for
Kanred samples was 11.31 per cent,
Black Hull 1857 per cent and Tur-
key Red 11.56. Purer strains Of
Turkey Red average about II to
1875 per cent, while Black Hull for
a dark hard wheat averages be-
tween 1850 to II per cent.
Average absorption Of Kanred
was 63.1 per cent, Black Hull 5S.3
per cent and Turkey Red 63.5 per
cent.
Average loaf volue Of Kanred
samples was 2,275 cubic cent?.

Need of rain is becomig more and

showers Of the last week having
left those portions entirely out Of
the rain belt. The weekly report by
Secretary ]. G. Mohler, Of the Kan

that the dry spell Is causing farm
ers in the western part Of the state
to ship cattle to market in large
numbers and is handicapping the
fall wheat planting.
An epidemic of weevil in many
portions Of the Kansas wheat belt Is
reported, the destructive insect in

How Better Than Pills?

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic
and liver pills? Our answer Is. they
are easier and more pleasant to take
and their effect is so gentle that one
hardly realizes that 1t is produced by
a medicine. Then, they not only
move the bowels but improve the
appetite and strengthen the diges-

CERMANY'S reply to the ultima
- tum OF the allied PREPARATION COM
mission was near enough to complete
acceptance to satisfy that body, which,
after days intensive study of the
note. telegraphed TO Berlin its approx
al Of the German promises to bal
ance the budget and to stop the issue
OF paper money. The commission then
turned over TO the committee of inter-
national bankers in session in Paris
the entire question of German finances
and payment of reparations. Those
bankers, among whom Is j. Pierpont
Morgan of the United States, are now
studying the questions of Germany's
capacity TO pay. the guarantees she
can give for the series of huge loans
that will be necessary, and. in connec-
ton with the latter. the possibilities
involved in the Russo-German pact.
The German proposals were drawn
up by Finance Minister Hermes and
are not at all liked by some other
members Of the Wirth cabinet and
many members of the reichstag. The
SHINES group especially attacked
them as surrender OF sovereignty
that will bring on catastrophe The
reichstag refused to pass a vote OF
lack of confidence in the government,
but the cabinet is believed to be In a
shaky condition.
Lloyd George made a statement on
reparations In the house of commons
In which he strongly intimated that
Germany would be granted reductions,
postponements and revisions when
these appeared necessary. and this
was greeted with cheers. France,
naturally, Is not pleased with develop
ments, but is not in position to object
strenuously.
