WHEAT THAT WILL STAND
KINDS OF WEATHER
DIFEHEN
T
The following article appears In the
last Issue of the Rural Spirit, address
ed to the editor:
Mr. George T. Parr, Moro, Ore.,
makes the following Inquiry:
"For the past two years our coun
ty has been extremely unfortunate In
having the winter crops completely
destroyed by cold snaps. It Is work
ing a great hardship on our farmers
and means ruination to many. We
have experienced an occasional freeie
out but never before has It struck
this country twice In succession and
this experience leads us to Inquire
whether or not It Is possible for us
to secure a suitable variety of wheat
that will stand the cold weather and
at the same time be adapted to oar
oils and weather conditions.
"We have heretofore adhered strict
ly to Wal'a Walla club, crooked neck
club, little club and red chaff for fall
seeding and to bluestem, sunora and
macaroni wheats for spring seeding.
In ordinary years the above varieties
have proven satisfactory, but during
years l'ke the past two we have found
that they are not strictly adaptable
to all conditions. If you know of any
varieties of seed wheat thai will stand
clod weather and high winds we would
be very thai.kful If you would send
us the names of the same."
Reply. It will be noted that Mr.
Parr has asked the (question that Is
In the mind of almost evtry farmer In
eastern Oregon and Washington. It
Is a problem that might not hava
been so pressing had not the unusual
conditions referred to continued for
two years in succession.
Twice we have had freeze outs and
twice has hot winds or hot weather
endangered the crop that escaped the
winter's cold. The state experiment
station at Pullman has been at work
for many years trying to meet these
and other adverse conditions under
which the wheat farmer Is laboring.
The work began with selecting such
as appeared promising from the list
of old and standard varieties. When
It became clear that few of these
were adapted to our Pacific coast re
gion and could In no degree eo.ual
varieties commonly grown here, our
plan of experimentation was changed
and ourfforts were given to produce
new varieties among which we might
be able to select some that would suit
the requirements, nl the past seven
years we have produced hundreds of
new varieties by crossing old and
well known one on those commonly
grown on this coast. In the progress
of this work we have combined near
ly all of the standard varieties in some
way or other.
Many of these crosses were failures
from the start, the result being wheat
possessing undesirable characters and
having nothing ot commend them
over others. In doing this work cer
tain definite ideas were kept steadily
In mind. We wanted a wheat that
was a true winter variety, possessing
stiff straw and a close, compact head
that would stand up until ripe enough
to be headed and would not shatter
out In high winds. We wanted It hardy
both to withstand the winter freezing
and summer drouth. Besides these It
must so far as possible be resistant
to smut and rust.
When these conditions of growth
were met there still remained the re
quirement that It hould be In every
respect a good milling wheat and pos
sess a high per cent of gluten. In

depend upon it, thecause of thediffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased conuition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a

our search for an Ideal wheat we re
jected all of those having beards and
fuzs on the chaff, these being undesir
able character from the standpoint
of the farmer. No doubt In
rejecting these we throw away many
otherwise good varieties.
Out of the hundreds produced we
have by various tests extending over
six years gradually simmered the
number of desirable varieties down
until not more than a score remain
of the original crosses. In this com
paratively small number we think we
have some remarkable wheats. Per
haps the best are three or four club
types produced from Jones' Fife Little
Club crosses.
These are strong growing, vigorous
club headed varieties, of true winter
habit, white chaffed with grains vary
ing from white to amber. The weak
nesses of the Jones Fife, which Is an
excellent wheat, but has fuzzy chaff
and shatters badly, have all been lost
while the prolificacy and good quality
of the grain have been retained. As
club wheats they are much superior
lo the original type. Other excellent
crosses are thase with Red Chaff and
McPherson and Club and Turkey. The
alter Is the famous wheat of Kansas
and the best drought resistant known
It has, however, most undesirable
beards.
These we got rid of In short order
anl now have Turkey crosses which
show the original type minus the
Ix-ards and other types showing the
c!ub character. In hardiness they are
the iqual of Turkey and far superior
t) the Club.
In this connection It may be well to
s.iv that many of the failures of the
past winter are due to the fact that
fmn.-rs have not recognized thi dif
ferences between spring and winter
varieties. Of the list given by Mr.
Parr as sown entirely In the full not
one is a true winter wheat. Conse
quently It Is not surprising that when
winter conditions are unusually severe
such tender varieties kill out.
All of the Clu'os as well as the Red
Chaff are sown both fall and soring '
und to a certain extent are inter- i
hangeable between the seasons. Such
a wheat Is not as hardy as those which
are strotly winter wheats. Informa
tion this season from different parts
of the state lead me to believe that a
few new varieties not hitherto grown
extensively have this season proved
their adaptlbility to the peculiar con
ditions prevailing this season. One of
these Is the Turkey, above mentioned
For hardiness It Is a leader and In
yield It compares favorably with our
old standard kinds. Its quality I ever
good and will compare favorably with
Bluestem. It has very objectionable
beards and on this account will never
be popular where binding and shock
ing are the custom. This objection
would not hold good where the header
to combine are used.
Arcadia has also leaped Into popu
larity In some sections. Serious ob
jections to it have been made because
of its habit of shattering badly. In
high winds such as prevailed during
the summer of 1903, this wheat owul l
undoubtedly lose the greater part of
Its grain before becoming ready for
the header.
Efforts are being made to produce
a standard strain of Kluestem. As
a rule this variety Is strictly a spring
vaiieu, but It has been sown In some
j localities us :i fan grain until It is
I praclieally a fall wheat and will stand
'a modiat,- amount ol' severe weather.

Muestem without a thought as to Its
true character. I know of one farm-
who lost tils entire crop of 70')
acres.
In regloiiH where spring wheat-is or
dinarily sown nothing has vet been
found to excel the liluestem for abil
ity to withstand drouth and give a
good yield of the best quality. In com
parison with other wheats on the sta
tion farm and also at our Qulncy and
ltit:ville stations It has ranked high

strong lest and this variety easily held

La Salle Street Station Used by Rock Island-Frisco Llnei.
Have YOU ever been in CHICAGO?
If so, you know the extremely convenient location of La Salle
Street Station.
If you are a stranger in the city, however, it is of Treat importance
that you learn about this magnificent and comparatively new terminal,
used jointly by Rock Island-Frisco Lines.
It is nearest the heart of the city closely adjoining the business
section within easy walking distance of State Street I bopping center
and all the principal hotels the only depot on the elevated loop.
The Rock Island right-of-way into Chicago is elevated for more
than eight miles out through the suburbs. Prompt arrival at Chicago
terminal is thus assured. Englewood Union Station, seven miles out,
affords ready access to southern suburbs all through trains stop there.
