Macaroni Wheal.
The' experiments which tlif ;Vj'.-rt-ment
of Agriculture andei;c 1 -me
years ago looking to the jro...' 01
Macaroni wheat in this coui.r. ' av
borne better fruit than was ai.tiriiiAtud
by the most enthusiastic imestk-itors.
Xot only has it been shown tia: this
wheat can be very successfully jrown
here, and tl.at the beat nmcari ni cn.. bo
made from it in America, but ..i A in ri
can ingenuity has discovered i: ' mp
not before known, that bread nr- eowd as
any can be made from it. The signifi
cance of this is seen when it is known
that the macaroni wheat is a semi-arid
plant and that it can be grown success
fully over a wide area in the Dakotas,
Kansas, Nebraska and Texas where the
rainfall is not sufficient to admit of or
dinary wheat growing. It had never
before been supposed that bread could
be made from this wheat, the grain of
which is extremely hard and translucent.
It makes a creamy bread which is
S'.id o be fully equal to the best bread
from prime Fultz wheat. In fact, sunie
two hundred persons and institutions
all over the country were furnished with
the new bread, after the secret of mak
ing it had been discovered, and the re
turns from them which are now in are
almost unanimously favorable.
Following the introduction of special
milling machinery by the Minneapolis
millers for the purpose of grinding this
extremely hard wheat, a considerable
acreage was immediately planted by the
farmers, and last year about 1,500,000
acres of it were raised.
The matter is considered one of the
most important which the Agricultural
department has brought before the
country for some time.
