An agricultural writer has prepar
ed the following- Interesting sketch
of the new Alaskan wheat which has
been promulgated at Jullaetta, Idaho:
If some one were to tell the aver
age wheat farmer that It was possi
ble to raise it wheat crop on United
States farms in one year, of five bil
lion bushels, he would brand his n
fomant as a liar pure and simple, and
yet had the farmers in America plant
ed a wonderful new wheat seed that
has been perfected by Abraham Ad
ams, or juuaeua, muno, tnat is jusi
what the yield would have been this
season, based upon tne possioie crop
of the year. '
Connected with this aswrnon Is the
greatest wheat story that has ever
been told, far greater than the wild
est dreams of the wheat king, I9 the
seourltv of his vast domain and the
demand for his golden harvest.
The United .States paid eighty mil
Hons of money for Alaska, and yet
the gold payment Alaska has return
ed sinks Into Insignificance when
compared with Farmer Adams' Alas
ka wheat, which In the secret and far
away fields of Idaho he has gradu
ally brought to perfection until ne
has given to the world a wheat that
will crow under average conditions
two huhdred bushels to the acre.
This Is a large assertion, and hard-
area to a thousand acres, by the dis
covery of one old farmer, away out
In Idaho.
As a last test, Mr, Adams has sent
single heads of wheat to other parts
of the country, where he had. men he
could trust to plant and ascertain the
result. Reports are Just coming to
him, and he finds that In other
states the Alaska wheat does better
than on las home soil. In Alabama
a head planted December 31 was up
January SO, waist high April 1, with
leaves Ti of art Inch broad, and July
7 was harvested. It showed to be
hard wheat of a fine quality, and the
one head yielded the same as the first
head planted In Idaho.
One Oregon experimental station
offered the originator $5 for a pound
of his wheat, a rate of over 1300 a
bushel. The old gentleman did not
prize the money. Ho only wanted
to be sure that some attache was not
trying to get away with some of his
seed. He required a contract that
the state would not dispose of any
wheat used In the test, and upon
securing that sent the seed asked for
along.
Now the United States experiment
ers are becoming Interested, and next
year's report will have much to say
about Abraham Adams and his wheat

be a good many disputes over the

do not want to exchange or give up

City Water All Right.
"Did you notice conditions above
the intake of the city waterworks on
Mill creek?" was asked Mr. Schmltz.
"Why, yes; I paid particular atten
tion to that after having heard the
matter discussed lately. As I found
things, and I observed pretty close
ly, everything Is In good condition
There are no dead cattle in the creek
that I could see, and the campers
are quite careful in the way they use
the stream. I think there is no cause
at all for alarm over the conditions
there. I do think, however, that the
city should keep a man patrollng the
creek and see that conditions are good
at all times. Just at present there
seems to be nothing needed beyond
the notices posted, as these are being
observed closely by campers and oth
ers who visit the creek above the in
take. Conditions are good, 1 should
say."

test to see If they can beat the yield

The yield Is only a part of the
great discovery, for this Alaska wheat
is both a winter and spring wheat,
and when planted as either Is a hard
wheat that will grade as No. 1. im

great soft wheat belts of the country,

A Brief History.
A brief history of this almost mi
raculous seed Is given in a few words
by its modest originator, a plain man
who farms In a plain way, but wno
all his life until old age nas uvea
with and for his wheat, and has fln-
lly given the world the greatest gift
any one man has ever been responsi
ble for.
Mr. Adams' first perfect head of
wheat came to realization In 1904,
from an experimental plant of the
spring of that year. This one head ne
planted that fall as winter wheat, ana
the next year he secured seven
pounds of seed from this planting.
From the seven pounds, planted In
the spring of 1906, he harvested
1,545 pounds, an Increase of 122
times, or a basic principle of 222
bushels to the acre.
Here comes another remarkable
story of this wonderful wheat. The
1.545 pounds were sowed In the fall,
and that summer there were terrific
hall storms which put the club ana
bluestem wheat so much to the bad
that many fields were never har
vested, yet from the Alaska wheat
plots there was gathered a crop
which threshed out 53,000 pounds.
This when all other wheat was ren
dered practically worthless.
At about this time the Idaho sta
tion became Intereated in the wheat
ami nsked to make a test. Mr. Ad
ams carried a sample to the station
at Moscow, and after a most thor
ough test received the following re
ply.
"Regarding the analysis made upon
the sample of Alaskan wheat which
you brought to this labaratory, I have
this to say: The Kernels irom me
fall sown wheat were plump and
nimtl nd doubtless will grade as
No 1. Judging from the chemical and
nhyslclcal condition of this sample I
will say it will probably lane ran
with the best grade of bluestem for
flour making purposes. The sample

you have here is equal if not superior
to-our bluestem for nour matting pm-

Looks Like Corn.
In appearance the standing wheat
is strong and vigorous, with a corn
like gro.wth. Its head in the bearing
part Is about four Inches long to over
that and an Inch t an men ana
half broad at its broadest part. The
kernel Is about four times the size
of hard wheat, and a clear light
cream color without a dark spot, a
clean as hulled peanuts In. color.
It Is almost absolutely frost pro
tected and It would be a hard frost
that would touch It. Its sturdiness
makes It Impervious to ordinary storm
or light hall. It Is originally grown
on high unlrrlgated land and will
stand drought as no known wheat
will. Add all those qualities to Its
enormous yielding properties and it
must be admitted that the world has
been turned topsy turvy so far as
wheat raising Is concerned.
California, where so much soft
wheat is grown, Is beginning to take
un the Alaska wheat, for they see
the opportunity of a hard wheat yield
Farmers in Missouri and the east
and in the south, where soft wheat Is
all that can be raised with success,
are beginning to think of what Is In
store for them when some neighbor
convinces them by making a first
trial, that the wonderful Alaskan
wheat story Is not as much a fabrlca
tion as the first story of seedless"
oranges was thought to be.'
The wheat world is trembling on
the verge of a new era, one in which
the man with a hundred acres sua
denly finds his farm increased in

New Lino Being Completed Wio tlie
Kluinatli Country.
Dorrls Is soon to lose the distinc
tion of being the terminus of the Cal
ifornia Northeastern, says the South
ern Oregonian. Laying of steel across
the hill from Dorrls has already start
ed and within a few days the line
be completed to Calor. andelt Is
thought that by the end of the month
the terminus will be at Worden,
which Is but a short distance from
the edge of tne marsh. The grade
across the tunnel hill haa been com
pleted and the steel gang Is already
past the top of the hill where the
deep cut was made.
It Is understood that the Harrlman
party will arrive here about the first
of August, and the extension of the
road Is made at this time so that
the party will avoid as much of the
stage ride as possible. As soon as
the road Is built to Wordon, those
who claim to know state that a tem
porary terminus will be established at
that place until the road can be com
pleted to the navigable water.
