C., Feb. 26—That | the growing of durum wheat is a use- ful precaution against heavy losses jin seasons when rust prevails is in- ed by the results of experiments conducted by the U. S. Department of Agriculture an dthe State experiment stations in North Dakota, South Da- kota, and Minnesota. In these three states, the léaders in the production of hard spring wheat, it is estimated that the total loss in 1916 was approx- imately 179,000,000 bushels. Although part of this loss was caused by wheat scab, hot weather, and other factors, it was due largely to a se- vere and widespread epidemic of stem or black rust. {that similar epidemics will occur ‘the future, and the use of variel which will resist rust is, therefore, of the utmost importance to farm- ers. At the present time the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture and the state experiment stations are working to product rust-resisting varieting through breeding and selection. This work, it is said, has not yet progress- ed far enough to be of immediate practical value to the spring wheat growers. What they wish to know at the present moment is what vari- eties of spring wheat no wavailable are most rust resistant. From the results obtained in 1916 |B from tests in the state of North Da- kota, South Dakota and Minnesota, it appears that durum varieties give bet- ter yields under rust conditions than varieties of common wheat. The dur- um wheats are also high yielders in normal seasons. At the present time It is always possible | nautka. The Kubanka. it is said, is best adapted for growing in the drier, western sections of the hard ‘spring | wheat belt. The Arnautka can be | grown farther cast, because it is less affected than the Kubanka by a hu- mid climate or by seasons that are abnormally Of the varieties of common wheat there are now four in general use— the Marquis, Preston (velvet chaff), Fife and Bluestem, Of these, the Marquis produced the largest average yield, but in cen Dakota the Preston did better. The higher vielding ability of the Mar- quis in comparison with other com- mon wheats under rust conditions is said to be due, at least in part, to its earliness, which enables it to escape the rust, rather than to any inherent quality of Trust resistance. The Pres- ton yielded better than the other two varicties—the Iife and the Bluestem. It usually is slightly less injured by} Trust than these, which the quite sus- ceptible. Fite was found to suffer less | from rust than Bluestem. FARMERS tl NTER TO MEET THis WEEK Taylor, N. D., Feb. 26—For the pur- pose of carrying the famous J. C.

Who gets the ex- tortionate profit? : As applied to farm products I ask- ed this question of Carl Vrooman, as- sistant secretary of agriculture. “That,” said he. “is a difficult ques- tion to answer off-hand or even after investigation, but perhaps I can tell you a story which will throw light on the subject. “Sometime last winter a New Eng- ladn grocer who had bought a barrel of apples for $6.50, found in the bar- rel a note from the farmer in whose orchard the fruit had been grown, saying: ‘I got $2.50 for this barrel of applies. How much did you pay for it?’ I don’t know whether the grocer replied to the farmer or not, but at any rate here is clear evidence that the distributor, ‘whom I shall call the legitimate “middleman, paid more thait' twice as‘much‘as the far- mer received for this product, and of course the consumer: paidoeven more, ing his profit. Many Middlemen sometimes several series of middle- men stand between the farmer and the. | ultimate consumer.

But ithe consumer is: for ftom, being cor- rect in his supposition. that the far- mer is the one. who, is, making an un- There are cases on rec- ord like the one I have mentioned in which it is perfectly true that the more the farmer produces the less, proportionately, he gets in return. Better Production “The great problem in agriculture today is*not more production, — but better production which shall be prof- itable to the farmer. There is no rea- son in the world why agricultural production should not be so adjusted and regulated that the farmer will receive a fair profit for his crops, and that the consumer will be able to buy them at a fair price. Some- where along the line between the man who grew the barrel of apples and received $2.50 for them and the grocer who paid $6.50 for them, there was one or more people who got more than they should get for the legiti- mate business of transportation ‘and wholesaling. “If all farmers who grow apples, for the grocer was. in, business for} his living and was desirous 96 mak- | litical. revolution in “As a rule several middlemen and | | interests ped Lurid Lai Just becau e a sprinter. makes hi self popular. by running is no reas: they ofa ‘bank — a fighter can expect to knock ’em off their. seats with the same stud.
