Grows Quantities White Wheat WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Puilman. "Washington Is the lead ing state in the production of 'white wheat. Sixty per, cent of the wheat grown in the state is white; tho white varieties grown in Central Washington are widely known for their high duality and usually sell at a decided premium," 'declares E. ' O. schaefer, head or the state Col lege department of agronomy. 'A recent survey shows a total of 40 wheat varieties in the state. This number is more than neces sary for the needs df either the farmer or miller. Fortunately, ex cept for the 12 leading varieties, we grow only a small amount of each. Various agencies working , with wheat in production, marketing, and milling recognize the need of restricting the number of wheat varieties to those necessary to meet actual requirements. "New selections or strains are hot sought for variety's sake. They are welcome onlv if thev are distinctly superior in yield, quality, adaptabll- j lty, resistance to disease, or somo other characteristic that makes them more valuable commercially I than those we now grow. The 12 leading varieties make Up 92 per j cent of the total crop. Comparing thlo with former surveys, we find that the tendency is obviously to ward standardization of goOd, and elimination of poor Varieties." The six leading winter varieties now grown in the state are hybrid 128, triplet, turkey, ridit, fortyfold and albit. The six spring varieties grown most extensively are baart, federation, blues tem, Junk In, Mar quis and Thompson. where ho has been receiving treat-. ment for a few weeks.

N. Kavanaugh of Port land, -assistant regional forester. There seems to little question in the public mind regarding 'these' two values in the forest, but we. find there is a corresponding failure to! recognize that there are other values in the national forests that also aro very essential to the continued wel- i fare of our citizens. For example, the ! national forests being at the higher elevations, during the summer months are visited for rest and rec-! reatlon purposes , by hundreds andi thousands of people. It is very de ' slrable that every reasonable oppor-1 tunity be given these people to se I cure the rest and, recreation they j need lh order to mentally and physi- cally be equipped to live more hap-i plly and bo able to develop and lm-! prove their businesses more success-j fully and satisfactorily. Within the: national forests are thousands of miles of fishing streams and numer Agriculture Washington's Main Supports WASHINGTON STATS' COLLEGE, PUllman.-V'One out of every six per sons gainfully employed in the state of Washington is-engaged in agricul ture. -Indirectly agriculture sup ports much more than a sixth 'of tho population of the state, as the agricultural regions make possible the existence of towns and cities," states Dr. E. P. Dummeier, proressor of economics at Washington State college. .."-Wheat, has -had tho largest part lh -making possible the cities and towns- of Eastern Washington; apples, pears and other ;frults have made possible such cities as Yaki ma and Wenatchee in Central Washington; and dairy products, eggs, and berries have made pos sible a large part of the prosperity and growth of towns West of the Cas cade mountains. 1 "Wheat, apples, dairy products and eggs account for Just abbut two-thirds of the agricultural in come if this 'state," continues Dr. Dummeier; - "The other third is rep resented by a great variety of prod ucts -including bulbs for flowers, cranberries, . hdney and cabbage, beet and turnip seeds. 'Cash income from agriculture for each person agriculturally em ployed in Washington 1b Just about twice as great as It is for the re maihder Of the United States taken as a Whole," he says. "For the year 1930 cash Income for each person employed agriculturally was $1480, and for the United States as a whole it was $762..

' There are various other resources on the national forests which are Of minor Importance and which, need not be mentioned here. There is, however, one resource which, I liave not mentioned and which in the so called range country is considered of great importance. I refer to the for age resources which Mother Nature so bountifully restores each, year If man does not interfere with, her plans and precipitation is sufficient.

"If we could obtain milk by as direct producer-to-consumer methods as the calf, there would be j little responsibility -for the dairy man, because nature surrounds milk j while in the animal body with every possible safeguard against deteriora tion," declares H. A. Bendlxen of the State College dairy husbandry fac ulty. -"However, just as soon as the milk leaves this protective sphere of na ture and enters the complex course of human commerce necessitated by our present-day civilization, it Is exposed to many dangers of con tamination. Then the dairyman must assume the responsibility of safeguarding its .purity and whole someness until It reaches the con sumer. "This responsibility Is no small one, for milk is a delicate food. It may be injured by bacterial con tamination, the presence of odors in the air, contact with certain metals, exposure to heat, direct sun light ahd air. Bacterial contamin ation is the most serious danger. Proper paste uxizatlon kfls all) of the undesirable types of bacteria, Including all disease producers. It does not destroy all of the harm less types, Such as the acid form ers, and therefore permits the milk to sour normally after pasteuriza tion If held long enough.
