n Is it possible that the COMPARE
son was too favorable for the
Power Company? -,
with respect to the publicly
owned utilities and their
charges, you will observe from the
above table that Montana Power
charges are 80 cents more for Is
kilowatthours 67cents more for 30
kilowatt hours GA cents more for 60
kilowatt hours; 48 cents more for
50 kilowatt hours; and 38 cents
more for $50 kilowatt hours.
Tilt is often claimed that public
; utility rates are reduced rap-
idly so that more may be sold. Yet
you will note that the difference be-
tween the Power Company's rate
and the municipal rates is almost
exactly the same for Is kilowatt
hours as it is for $50 kilowatt hours
tilt is largely because Of taxes
that the rates for municipality
owned properties are less than
those Of privately owned plants.
Tin the case of The Montana
Power company, taxes amount
to SO cents per customer per month

Select Best Wheat
for the 1886 Crop
Chinch Bugs, Winter Killing
Promise to Be Growers
Leading Enemies.
BY q. H. DUNCAN. Associate Chief In Crop
Production. University of illinois,
WNJ Service.


With the possibility of another
chinch bug infestation in 1895 and the
ever-present danger Of winter killing,
farmers should plant only those va
rieties of wheat that have proved the
best in their respective parts of the
state.
Where adapted varieties are planted
on strong ground, observations indi-
cate that fair wheat yields can be at
tained in spite Of chinch bug attacks.
In the central part Of the state,
Illinois Progeny 2 this year again dem
onstrated Its ability to yield well. This
variety is a soft wheat with consider
able winter hardness, superior grain
quality and high yielding capacity on
fertile soils. Wheats of the Turkey
type have long been considered best
adapted to central Illinois and va
riety that can compete with them has
to be good one. Illinois Progeny 2
has done this over period of eight
years In tests at the University of
Illinois experiment field near Urbana.
At the experiment field near DeKalb
in northern Illinois, five wheat vari-
cites stand out in front with better
average yields during the past three
or more years. They include Ioturk,
Illinois Selection 131, Minturki, Purkof
and Wisconsin Pedigree 2. These are
all selections from Turkey or hybrid
in which Turkey was one of the par
entS.
On the Alhambra experiment field
in southwestern Illinois, the soft red
winter wheats are the best adapted.
and here the leading varieties include
Fulcaster, Nabob, Illinois Selection 131.
Michigan Amber, Red Sea and Fulhio.
OF these, Illinois Selection 131 is the
only variety not in the soft wheat
class.
