New Winter Wheat Varieties Dodge Smut Damage, Lodging, Winterkill PULLMAN, Wash., Washington State collide h... . leased two new winler wheat var ieties designed to escape smut damage, lodging and winterkill. Both are high-yielding wheats, the college said. Both have pass ed milling and baking tests. Both are adapted to growing condi -tions in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Dr. Mark T. Buchanan, head 'of agricultural research at W. S. C. said the new short -strawed soft white winter wheats have been named Elmar and Brcvor. Elmar wheat particularly will be useful in the northwest'i antl smut campaign, Buchanan said. It is resistant to dwarf smut, which has been particularly bad in the area for the last two sea sons, and to about half of the other known races of smut. Brevor has moderate to high resistance to all the known smuts. Elmar is a white club wheat and Brevor is a common white. Both new varieties outyield pre sent varieties 10 to 15 per cent.

J. K. Bonehtake. chairman of the agricultural Con servation committee tells farm ers of Douglas county. He explained that with surplus es accumulating in a number of major farm crops, farmers are faced with the problem of adjust ing production to consumer needs and market demands.

But If the land taken out of wheat or corn or other crops for which there may be allotments is left idle and unprotected again st wind and water erosion, con servation gains of the past are reduced and an opportunity to build for the future is lost. Also, if the poorer land Is left out of production and additional attention in the form of better care and greater use of fertiliz ers is given to the crops on the Iowa Man Rated At Top As Watermelon Tester NEW MANAGER AT SAFEWAY J e It Valentine, left, manager of the Safeway ifore here I ilf; .

Wolford can recall back at the turn of the century when as many as 800 railroad cars of melons were shippec' from the town. They sold then for $50 a carload. The season this year was near perfect. More than 150 acres of watermelons were grown along with 80 acres of cantaloupes in the sandy flat between the Iowa of an inch thick.
