Durum Wheats Are
Spring Varieties
Differ in adaptation and
Yielding Ability and Re-
siStance to Drought.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.D
There are twelve varieties OF durum
wheat commercially grown in the
United States. They differ In their
adaptation and yielding ability, resist
ance to drought and rust, and in the
quality of their grain, as well as in
their appearance. They are all de-
scribed by J. Allen Clark and john H..
Martin of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in Farmers Bull
letin 1907, The Durum Wheat" just
published.
Tie durum wheats are all spring va
rieties with thick, compact heads, long
stiff boards and large hard kernels.
They are grown principally in the
northern c. eat Plains area, where they
are best adapted because of their re-
~siStance TO drought and rust, which en-
ahles them to aStyield other spring
wheats. During the past ten years the
center of the durum acreage has
moved northward and westward.
Used for Granular Flour.
Most of the durum varieties have
white :amber) kernels, and the grain
is used chiefly for the manufacture of
a granular -four called semOlina, from
which macarOni, spaghetti and other
alimentary pastes are made. There
usually has been an active foreign de-
mand for this wheat, but the flour
mills in this country were not equipped
for satisfactorily grinding these wheats
and there was little demand for the
product on the domestic market. More
recently, however, large mills have
been constructed for grinding durum
wheat exclusively. A considerable
trade in SemOlina and durum flour has
developed, and finally a large maca-
roni industry has been established.
The industry now uses annually more
than 100000 bushels of durum, or
nearly half the average annual pro-
duction in recent years.
kubanka Is High Yielding.
kdbanka is the variety best adapt
ed for all the varying conditions in
the sections producing durum wheat.
1t is a high-yiefding wheat, consider
aDlI TeSlSttnl W IuSl, VI SOou ullllilS
quality, and best adapted for making
both macaroni and bread.
Acme and Monad are two similar
durum varieties which are very re-
sistant to stem rust. Acme is the high
est yielding durum variety in most. of
South Dakota, and MOnad the best
yielding variety in North Dakota. Both
produce macaroni of a grayish color,
considered by manufacturers less sal
able than hat made from Kubanka
wheat. Mindum is the most prOduc-
tive variety in Minnesota.
The distinguishing characteristic
and the adaptation of the twelve diff
ferent varieties are discussed in the
bulletin, which may be had free of

partment of Agriculture, Washington,

very well equipped with cupboards and
shelving; the sink directly faces the
double window, and the refrigerator Is
served through outside icing, saving
the cleanliness of the kitchen floor. The
pantry has possibilities also; its win,
dow gives excellent ventilation and
helps save ice in the cool days of
spring and autumn. Off the kitchen
and through the real hallway one
gains the basement.
Our second floor has two bedrooms
and a bath, with excellent clothes and
linen closet space, storage space, and
an alcOve off the larger bedroom which
could be utilized as a sleeping porch
in mild weather.
1t is undeniable that much Of the at
tractiveneSs of this type of a house
comes from having its grounds proper
ly handicapped, to take away from it

how the s%hrubbery In the foreground
has a softening influence IL this re-
srect. If the lot has n or two large
trees, so much the better; trees do
much for a house in the way Of giving
1t a picturesque setting, and with a
tile roof there could be no objection on
the score of continued dampness and
rotting on account Of too much shade
on the roof.
Observe that q shelf below the front
windows is suitable for flower boxes,
and also that the wide porch coping
also lends itself to treatment in this
respect.
This type of a house lends itself par
ticulariy well to situation on a corner
lot. Thus. the porch would not be al
the front, but would be at the side Of
the front Of the house, with the other
the sun porch, overlooking the Other
street.

Difficulties in Getting
Good Start of Alfalfa

There are a few difficulties in the
way of getting a good start of alfalfa
in the spring, and when these are
guarded against it is easier than to get
red clover started. 1t is Of but little
use TO seed alfalfa on land which is
sou in both surface and subsoil, and
even then it is risky until limestone
has been applied. Alfalfa can secur
the same food from humuS as from
limestone, but it can get it from the
humus only al the humus decays, and
during the dry part of the summer the
humus may cease to decay sufficiently
to supply enough food, and the alfalfa
perishes. If plenty of limestone is
present the alfalfa may secure the
same kind Of food even when the hu-
nus does not decompose.

Hasten Rate of Growth
and Maturity of Chicks

The rate of growth and development
Of chicks can be influenced quite ma
terially by altering their ration. The
hi]gh-protein feeds, such as meat, tank
age and milk, tend to hasten growth
and maturity. Accordingly, if pullets
are Matched so early that there is dan
ger of their beginning to lay before
the melting season passes, the feeds
mentioned should be removed from the
ration as soon as the chicks reach full
growth. On the other hand, a free
use Of these feeds viii help TO over
come the handicap Of late Matching.

Failures in Securing a
Good Stand of Alfalfa

When you fail to secure a stand OF
alfalfa, it's best to look for the cause
Of failure before wasting any more
seed. Here are the principal reasOns
for failure In securing a stand Of al
falfa: ~ Sour land, (2) a poorly
prepared seed bed, (3) improper seed
ing, {4) poor seed. The quicker Q
farmer recognizes the factors which
cause failure, the quicker he can cor
rect them and make alfalfa a profitable
crop on his farm.

New and Effective Way
to Protect CucumberS

A new and effective method OF con-
trolling the striped cucumber beetles
Is recommended by the entomology sec
ton of the Iowa experiment station.
This method consists Of busting the
young cucumber plants with.a material
made of one part of calcium arsenate
and twenty parts Of gypsum. Plants
should be kept thoroughly protected by
frequent applications Of this dust. This
method has been found more effective
than the old method of spraying the
vines with lead arsenate. The calcium
arsenate acts as a poison and the gyp-
sum stimulates plant growth.

Thinning Plants Is
Hard Task for Many

Only a hardened professional or an
amateur gardener calloused by long
years of experience will thin his plants
properly without some hesitation. The
pulling up of so many seedlings seems
wasteful, but usually from one packet
of seeds many more plants than are
needed are raised, and a few properly
spaced so that they may develop to
their full capacity in the long run will
give far better returns than three or
four times their number too thickly
planted.
