DURUM WHEAT
The annual production of durum
wheat at present, though difficult to
determine before taking a census.
sppesr3 to be at least 50 million
bushels, and probably comes nearer
60 million. The important fact, how-
ever, is that a rough estimate shows
that nearly two-thirds of this produc-
tion is in districts so dry ordinarinly
that other wheats can not be success-
fully grown, thus having made It pos-
sl ble during the past years to add ma-
terially to our wheat crop during the
time of scarcity and high prices. Re-
cently two additional interesting facta
hsve developed: (1) The great inter-
est taken by several of the largest
mills In the country in the manufac-
ture of patent flour from durum
wheat. One of these, a Minneapolis
firm, now employs a mill of high ca-
pacity exclusively on durum wheat.
(21 The rapid increase in the use
by foreign countries of our export
durum wheat for bread flour. The
* x port now averages considerably
o-er 20 million bushels per annum, ;
of which nearly or quite one-half J
«roes to centrsl and northern Europe, j
where it is used chiefly for bread, j
Recently there has been an exten-<
pion of the durum wheat area Into the,
western portions of the great plains
and Intermountaln districts. A num-j
ber of new mills have been added to
the list of those that grind the wheat,
some of which are'uslng It exclusive-
ly. Examinations of a number of
samples received from different parts
of the country show that recent re-1
Torts of the deterioration of the
wheat are unfounded, but have been
caused by the fact that much of the
grsLn shipped east was produced In
humid areas not adapted to durum
wheat and often mixed with other
lot* of better quality. American
millers need to become more famil-
iar with the cuality required la wheat
of this class.
Cereul*
Durum wheat has now made Ita
plaee as a crop in the middle great
plains regirn and is being rapidly ex-
tended into the intermountata dis-
tricts. During the past 1 years the
work with cereals has been extended
so that st the present time a compre-
hensive ser e* of experiments la un-
der way at Amarillo and Dalhart.
Texs'. The experimental work at
the ststion is under the charge of
men specially qualified along the lines
of era'n improvement and familiar
with the territory In which the sta-
tion is located. Although these ex-
periment? In their present form have
been running but 5 years, and some
of them 'or even a shorter period,
the re ults thus far obtained in
determines suitable vsrieties for
each locslitv and the best lates sni
r*t«»s of se-ding have proved of great
to old and new *ettlers
in aft the fiuntrr. It is fonni thst
many of the farmers in this region

•nrieties. TM* alone has prohahlv
as much to do with the low average
yield per *•re in the United States
a* any other factor. One of the ob-
jects of the work fn question is to
ensMe fsrmers to obtain pure seed
of drouth re^istsnt kinds of wheats
sdsDted to psrticular districts.
A very Importsnt line of Investi-
gation and study hss for Its object
the development of hardy winter var-
ieties of grain crops. Extensive
tests in the mstter of time of seed-
in? winter wheats hsve brought out
the fsct more forcibly than ever that
the earlier the need is planted after
the 1 "»th. o' August, provided moist-
ure conditions sre at all favorable,
the greater will he the percentage
of survival.
