Pullman SHIVERS
IN ARCTIC WEATHER
thermometers Register Twenty-siX
Below Downtown EARLY We'd
nesday Morning-SiXteen Be
low Wednesday Night

With thermometers on Main
street registering 26 below zero
carly Wednesday morning, the citi-
zens of Pullman awoke to the cold
oct weather for years past. The cold
was much more intense in the lower
narts of the city than on the hills,
the thermometer at the college
weather station registering only 10
below. The worst of the cold wave
came at 500 a. M, but for several
bours thereafter the mercury climbed
very slowly After climbing to
TX above zero under a bright sun
Wednesday, the mercury started
down at startling rate early in the
afternoon, and it appeared that the
mark of Wednesday morning would
he lowered. By 1900 p. m. various
thermometers downtown registered
from 16 to 20 below zero, and at mid
night the mark was the same, but by
100 n. m. a pronounced moderation
was sending the mercury up and IL
below was registered at that hour
The moderation continued until at
500 o'clock yesterday morning the
mercury was well above the zero
mark.
Dozens of residents were caught
unawares by the cold spell and froz-
en- water pipes were much in evil
dence.
Records of the government wealth
err station at the State College, which
are kept by Henry Holtz, show the
coolest weather Wednesday morning
since 1912, with 10 below registered.

NEW SUGAR CANE
COMES TO PASS
Product Developed By DR..
J. J. Williams, W
CONTENTS INCREASED
This Means Much To All Raisers
of the Stalks In
Minnesota

A sorghum sugar cane for Mime
sofa that will mature FIVE days to a
week earlier than the original
strains of Minnesota Early Amber
and that will give an increased ton
mage and increased sugar content
has been developed by DR.. j. j.
Willaman of the division Of bio
chemistry, University Farm.
AS the farmers are paid a fiat
rate for their sorghum cane when
delivered at the mills, an increased
tonnage means larger returns for
them. An earlier maturing variety
of sorghum cane Is also to the ad :
vantage of the grower, for it lessons
the liability of frost damage and
permits a longer operating season
for the factory.
This is the fourth year of the
seed selection work undertaken at
Waconia, center of Minnesota
sorghum sugar cane district. Dur
ing his Investigations DIR. Williaman
analysed LOO individual stalks for
tent of Juice. Thirty strains having
were selected. These in turn were
tested out until only one, and that
the best, was left
Will Yield Heavily
DR.. Willaman says this new
strain will yield from two to four
tens more of stalks per acre than sor
ghum cane commonly grown IN
Minnesota. The sugar content has
bcen raised by his experiments
from an average Of Is per cent to
an avearge of 10 per cent
Since each per cent of sugar is
practically equivalent to one gal
Ion of strip per ton of cane" says
DR.. Willaman, the figures mean an
increase of about three gallons for
each ton of cane worked up by the
mill The advantage to the farmer
from this improved variety can be
seen from the fact that cane grow
ing around Waconia this year av-
eraged nine and one half tons to the
acre, while the university's best
selected strain produced thirteen
tons of stalk of increased sugar
content. In common with other
crops, it did not furnish the returns
this year that have been received
in other recent years. The average
yield was rather light in the Wac
onia district, being ten tons to the
acre selling at 81 a ton. Last year
the average yield was Is tons to the
acre and the selling price IS a ton
DIR. Willaman believes that the
sorghum sugar cane growing in
dustry can be profitabiy extended
in Minnesota. Sorghum produced
at the mills at Waconia has a fine
flavor and color and has had in.
creasing sales from year to year.
