DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE TO EXPERI-
MENT WITH MACA-
RONI WHEAT IN
THIS STATE.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 16.—Prof.
Hark Alfred OarletoD, eerealist
expert of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and Prof.
J. H. Connell, director of the
Texas experiment station at Col-
lege Station, left here this morn-
ing for San Antonio en route to
various points in Western Texas
for the purpose of arranging for a
series of experiments in the grow-
ing of hard, or “ macaroni ” wheat.
Prof. Connell says that Prof.
Oarleton is a real expert and that
he knows the wheat business
thoroughly.
Prof. Oarleton has made sever-
al trips to Russia and has spent a
great deal of time in that country
collecting wheat seeds. He also
visited Turkestan, Algiers and
Argentina for the same purpose.
The department now has 150 new
varieties of the bard; or macaroni
wheat—eighty of which Prof.
Carleton collected in Russia and
seventy in the other countries
named. It is the intention of the
department to have these planted
at various places throughout the
plains district of the United
States to get the growing of wheat
started. Profs. Oarleton and Con-
nell will select several places in
Western Texas for experimenta-
tion. Experiments will be made
west of San Antonio, near Wichi-
ta Falls and further to the north-
west in the Panhandle. One hun-
dred and fifty varieties will be
planted in Dallas county. The

mer or two in different sections
of the State and famish them with
a Dumber of bushels of wheat for
planting in order to get the indus-
try started in those communities.
In speaking of the purposes of
the department, Prof Oarleton
said it was believed that the plant-
ing ,of these varieties of wheat
would result in greatly increasing
the wheat area of the United
States and extend it westward to
about the lOOih meridian. With
these hard wheats he said it would
be possible to raise a crop of
wheat every year ou the plains
extending from the gulf to North
Dakota. The hard wheat, be
says, will make a crop with but two
rains, and be has seen good crops
made with but one rain. He be-
lieves this wheat will have to be
planted in Texas in the fall. An
attractive feature of the crop is
that moderate pasturing of it dar-
ing the winter is actually benefi-
cial. The bard wheat will flourish
anywhere in the wheat belt, and
it yields 25 to §0 per cent more
than the soft varieties But it
reaches its perfection as hard or
macaroni wheat in the dry coun-
try.
Prof. Carleton says that a num-
ber of years ago when Nicaragna
wheat was raised in this country,
the growers had difficulty in find-
ing a market for it. The macaro-
ni manufacturers of Europe did
not know that, they could get that
semi-arid country if the depart- and went to the large expense qf jaisf:
ment succeeds in its plan to fix it converting his cmcTTnto fuel barn-
up for a marketable wheat crop
every summer, and its work on
this line will be watched with
much interest.

South of France is found au amus- ^ioe done labor, to say nothing of
iDg account of the early life and ^he vested in capital. la the
exploits of Oolonel Bryan. The ponsiderstion qf this featqre of
story, it appears, was written by!?*16 question, the fact must be
the Paris correspondent of the Lc.alle'V'Ttbat £ th® prodac;
; . , * . . . . tion of fuel oil by the Beaumont
provincial paper, and is based, so j gnshere, 96 per cent of the value
the writer avers, on information
furnished by friends of the candi-
date who have been prominent at
the French capital.
The Western wag who filled the
Frenchman go fall of new and
startling information must have
smiled to himself as he read in
cold print the statement that “M.
le Oolonel Bryan first came into
fame as one of the strange, half-
savage band of cowboys who
roamed over the far West fighting
the Indians and wild beasts. Im-
itating, perhaps, the custom of the
Indian chiefs, eaoh of the cow-
boys bore a nickname based on
some of bis exploits as a hunter
or fighter. Thus M. le Oolonel
Bryan’s title among bis rough but
brave and sturdy comrades was
Silver Biii, the dead shot. After
the treaty of peace was signed
wi<h the Indians at Chicago in
1896, Oolonel Bryan went out of
the
one
West. He can now sit on bis
back stoop, as the rear veranda
is called in America, and look
over bis fields of corn stretching
farther than the eye can reach in
every direction. As a result of
hiB early training on the plains,
of this production goes directly
into the pockets of the syndicates
owning and operating these wells,
and only about 5 per cent to labor.
On the contrary, in the produc-
tion of coal and lignite, nearly the
reverse is true. In the first place
a larger per cent of the work re-
quired in opening up coal mines
goes to labor than is the case in
developing oil wells, where ma-
chinery does so large a part of
the work. But it is in the differ
ence in which labor figures in
getting coal and lignite from the
bowels of the earth and loading it
aboard of cars, and the getting
fuel oil at Beaumont from the
bowels of the earth and loading it
aboard of care, that the striking
comparison is made. In the in-
stance of coal and lignite, labor
gets fully 50 per cent of the price
of coal at the mines. The com-
parison will hold good all the way
from loading the two products on
the cars to feeding it into the fur-
naces.
In conclusion, I suggest that
the thousands of laborers thrown
out of employment and hundreds
of thousands of dollars of capital
lost in the closed mines would ac-
cept their misfortune with a bet-
ter grace could they feel that it
was caused by open and unre-
stricted competition unaided by
any assistance from a branch of
the State Government. In this
connection it may not be oat, of
place to add that Liredo’s great
brick industries were almost de-
stroyed by the Railway Commis-
sion forcing the International road
to double the rates it was giving
on Lvredo brick, in order to pro-
tect interior brick plants estab-
lished along the line of that road
from competition with the superior
physical conditions surrounding
the manufacture of Liredo brick.

The Need of Tree-?.
Atlanta Constitution.
The plea of President P. J.
Berckmans, of the Horticultural
association of .Georgia, for the
preservation of our forests, should
lead to some active movement for
the replenishing of the forests
which have been destroyed.
It is well kuown that large sec-
tions of Asia and Africa as well
asjsome smaller sections of older
Europe, which are now regarded
as sterile, owe that condition to
the destruction 'of the forest
growth and the failure tt> replen-
ish it. Even during the past fifty
years, the most unobservant have
witnessed changes on this conti-
nent for the worse, which can only
be traced to the destruction of
our forests. Never before was
there such value placed upon for
est growth by the commercial
world, and as a consequence nev-
er before was there known such a
constant destruction of it. Even
the illimitable pine forests of Geor-
gia have been so put under the
axe that the change of ten year.-
is apparent. The demand of com
inerce for our trees has been so
great that even those unmerchant
able have been slaughtered with
the view of including them within

Then again the policy of our
farmers has been most destruct-
ive. They have proceeded on the
idea that cleared land was value-
less, and in lhe choice betweeu
plowiijg and cultivating land al-
ready cleared, and bringing new
timber land under cultivation,
they have chosen the latter alter-
native. In this way a given thous
and acres has been attacked in
datail with the view of cultivating
probably less than one hundred
acres. Under proper manage-
ment the original one hundred
acres should have been kept un-
der cultivation, and would have
grown more valuable year by year
instead of less valuable so as to
tie abandoned, and nine hundred
acres of forest would have re-
mained to fu’fi-l its ualaral pur-
pose as well as to gladden the
eye. There is one farm in E fferf
county worth originally pro;*ab!y
live dollars an acre. Under culti-
vation which has raised its wheat
producing value from fourteen
bushels to thirty-five, thit land
has increased five fold iavalu*,
and its owner would not pirt with
it today for even that sum. In
this way the energy which hr
could have wasted in chopping
down forests was put into the cul-
tivation of Lis lands already ole ti-
ed with the result staled. If only
the agitation for sparing the tree
could be brought home to every
part of Georgia, we would have*
some compliance with the sugges-
tion of President B?rck mans’.
The man who cuts down oae un

Such a man is preparing the way
for the drying up of the bran -,hos,
