MACARONI WHEAT RESULTS.
,'ftgrioultural Department Makes a
fc Flattering Report
k The rosult of tliu season of 1003,
both on a commercial oasis nnd
.tt(n. the standpoint of cultivation,
;in the development of the durum
i 'wheat industry in this country have
$ipt only confirmed the preevious
'recommendations of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture concerning this
Ingrain, but liavo made it still more
'"evident that it is a cram of the
ijHricts. The demand for both the
Wheat and flour, including semolina,
ivfo'r making macaroui during the
$Svjnter has so increased that there
JjJJ'jf already practically little to bo ob-
Wained, and there has recently been
j a. considerable increase in prices
-So long, therefore, as the grain is
grdwn where if should be it will be
desirable, to have" a considerable in-
.cr;ease in production for this year's
crop and no doubt there will be.
About 3,000,000 bushels of the 1903
crop have gone to Minneapolis, to
the lake cities, or to foreign coun-
tries, and the remainder has ,been
used at the local mills with the ex;
ception of a comparatively small
amount that hns been sold for seed
or fed to stock.. These are actual
statistics so far as they can be ob-
tained. On the basis of the con-
sumption o.f the present crop and
the evident increase in demand, the
production of this year ought to be
about 15,000,000 bushels, though it
is practically certain now that the
crop of 1803 was not so largo as it
was supposed to bo at first.
It is important, however, to again
emphactse th necessity of growing
the. wheat, strictly within the semi-
arid districts. It is a npcessity both
for t.'c producer and the consumer.
It, will only yield heavily, compared
with other grains, in such districts,
and; therefore be of greater financial
f iroflt to the farmer, and it is only
he,gran produced in these districts
., Ihat is of high quality characteristic
' of this wheat. It is probable now
that this belt should be extended
ViriucH .further' westward, almost to
the Bopky 'Mountains, v as we are
finding constantly that the grain
, will grovr with even less rainfall
than we have been granting to it;
and, on the other hand, the acreage
in the eastern portion of this belt,
particularly along the Heel Kiver of
the North, and eastNof the middle
of the. States from Nebraska to Tex-
as, should ,bo kept down to as low a
figure as possible.
- It is important also for the farm-
er to note that the name "durum"
is, likely to be largely used for this
wheat instead of the term "maca-
roni" in tho future, especially in the
v commercial circles, and it.is neecs-
i, safy to, become familiar with the
term. The word durum 13 really the
" correct word for this group of
wheats, and besides it is now found
that the name macaroni is mislead-
ing as tho wheat is already known,
for tho results of many trials, to bo
excellent for making bread as well
as macaroni, Un the otner hand
other kinds of Avheat, as well as the
, durumR, are often used for making
macaroni, although tho durums cer-
tainly make tho best product. The
word durum means "hard" and is,
therefore, very appropriate, and be-
,ing . short, easy name it ought to
coma, .at once into use. J.untilly, it
Ur iwpm..
is a. repetition fully juptihed to ball someume ana mane a uying vym
aUjmtiojn twain to thenrfrentlil!cfm?ee t. There is an abundance
of 'lie Uhi- di puro pcci'. It is a
matter to bn- emphasized in sowing
nn.v kind of grain, but it in particu-
larly impottuit in this connec-
tion because of the great dif-
ference between the durum wheat
and ordinary wheats, causing a mix-
ture of thesu two to bi damaging
to their commercial use more than
in the case of mixing of other
wheats, causing a mixture of these
two to be damaging to their com-
mercial use more than in the case
of mining of other wheats with each
other. The details of the matter
need not be gone-over here, as the
subject has lecn discussed both by
the writer aiyj others 'it .various
times and places, anfl the methods
of purifying seed and keeping it
puro are now pretty well known .to-
all farmers. The 'recent circular,
distributed by the Von Duscn-Har-rington
Co., of Minenapolis, treat-
ing of this subject is 'much to bo
commended. The writer lias dis
cussed the matter very fully, in ah
address before the recent Tri-Stato
Grain Growen' convention at Far-
go, North Dakota, which address
was published in several northwest-
ern papers, and also in another act
dress. The Improvement of the
oat crop, given at the last meeting
of tho Kansas State Board of Agri-
culture at Topckn. . The matter of
being able to use pure, clean grain
of a known kind is of such vast im-
portance to the -miller and -other
commercial men, and yet to main-
tain pure seed can after all be 'go
iasily carried out by the farmer
that it is a perfectly justifiable
Ihing to materially reduce the nrice.
or reject altogether, any wagon-load
of wheat that comes to the elevator
with a mixture of fifteen to twon-
ty per cent of some other grain or
foreign seeds; and yet such a doliv
ery of grain in one that often oc
curs.
It is perhaps needless to add to
this communication the statement
that there is no seed of durum
wheat for general distribution by
the Department o Agriculture.
There is already plenty of seed in
the country to be obtained usually
at a reasonable distance from the
buyer which is being sold general
ly at a fair price.

Editor Triuune As per prom-
ise I. write you a few lines to let
you know I am qui e well, also
my daughthr and husband. I
ho'pe you and family and all my
old friends are doing well which
you can maks known through
your paper.
I will let you know a few of the
strange things in my present neigh-
borhood. I am Jiving but a few
miles west df the Sacramento
mountains in a very pretty little
town. It is an everlasting patch
of green and beautifully laid out.
There is a fine park full of cotton-
wood trees, with ponds, trout and
quite a number of ducks; wild ind
tame. The wild ducks are just as
fearless of visitors, as cur old tame
ones. Numbers of men, women
and children come daily and feed
them. This is really a pretty
place on Sunday afternoon as we
have an excellent band discoursing
music, then you see the girjs dress-
in their best sitting on the 'soft
green grass swapping stories and
jokes.' It makes me feel yoUng
again. I took a fancy to select a
slice of Mexican territory, and
haye therefore absorbed 160' acres,
thirik of it, Old Uncle .Henry.
From my homestead I can see
north and south one fine level
plane 40 miles, east and west the
mountains are about 40 miles' apart
on the west the San Andres, on
the east the Sacramento. There
are also the famous white sands
of which there has been found lit-
tle use so far. There is an eastern
syndicate about to work iti They
have already discovered a body of
soda, which they are working with
a large force of men. Where I
live is only 8 miles from this won-
derful sand. It is a strange stuff.
You may pinch it between your
fingers and make flour out of it,
and put it in your mouth. There
is r)o grit in it like oidinary sand.j
I ould like to have you here
