Thousands of Inquiries are being
received by the department of agri
culture regarding: the new variety of
wheat rnlsed by Abraham Adams of
Jullaetta. Idaho, which Is alleged to
produce ns high ns 222 bushels an
acre, says a Washington letter. The
Saturday Evening Post of last week
exploited this wheat and since then
the department of agriculture has had
no peace. In order to ascertain the
facts, Director French of the Idaho
experimental station at Moscow has
been directed to visit the Adams
farm and see the wheat for himself.
According to reports the wheat In j
question has a composite head, that
Is, each head Is made up of a cluster
of ordinary heads and is of white,
soft variety.
Agricultural experts are skeptical
about it and say that it is a strain of
"miracle" wheat or seven-headed
wheat that has lnm; bet n grown In
Afferent parts of the mountain re
ciniiM They say they have analyzed
it and found It low in proteid. They
'also iloub' whether It Is good milling
j vheat ami think farmers should go
j slow about taking up with it until
the department fns Investigated.
Another "report from Washington
;sas: A Variety of wheat under the
j name "Alaska" is being advertised
widely a.s capable of jlelding at the
; rat'- of 2'0 bushels to the acre "under
i
. or lrnaiy soil conditions."
j It is st ited th.it this v.ni'tv was

THE FRUIT INDUSTRY
OF THE UNITED STATES.
The tremendous volume of the ap.
pie and pear Industry of the United
States Is shown In a comprehensive
report on that subject compiled by W
X. White, a recognized authority on
the fruit Industry.
Mr. White takes each state and ter
ritory separately and shows how many
apple and pear trees of fruit bearing
age there were In the United States
on June 30 last. Of course, the ex.
tent of the apple Industry Is many
times greater than the pear Industry,
the number of the apple trees in the
Union reaching the tremendous total
of 201,794,642 trees, whereas the num
ber of pear trees Is 17,719,184.
Missouri heads the list of states and
t rrltorles in the number of frult
"bparlng apple trees, while California
Is first In the number of pear trees.
In Missouri on June 30, there were
20,040,399 apple trees, while the num
ber of pear trees In California was
2,512,$!0.
New York is secund in both Indus
tries, the number of apple trees in thh
state bearing fruit beln l.LO.'d.SSi,
while the pear tree in New York
numbers 2,1 S3. 909. Illinois Is thin)
in the list uf apple states, with 13,.
450. HOC trees; Ohio fourth, with 12.
952.62.'. and Kansas fifth, with 11..
MS.070 trees.
Other stites that produce tremen.
dous apple crops are Pennsylvania.
Michigan, Virginia and Kentucky.
Delaware with 1253 apple trees, is at
the foot of the column, and North Da
kota, with 2351 trees, next to foot In
the list of apple states.
In the number of pear trees Michi
gan Is third, with 1,187,110 trees;
Texas fourth, with 1.0I4.6SO. and New
Jersey 'fifth with 926,117 trees.
North Dakota is a bad last In th
pear Industry there having been, ac
cording to Mr. White's figures, only
three fruit-bearing pear trees In that
state on June 30. Wyoming, with 135
trees, and Delaware, with 1118 trees,
follow North Dakota with the fewest
number of pear trees.
Mr. White says that while the apple
and pear Industries do not rank with
the grain and wheat crops, the figures
show the magnitude of the former In.
dustry, and that reckoning apples at
40 and pears at 60 trees to the acre,
It will be seen that the total acreage
Is above five million, which 1 50 per
cent greater than the potato crop,
while the harvesting of the crop gives
employment to five times as many
persons as the potato crop.

exposition to be held in Seattle next

James McC'onahey to provide moving

the exhibits from this county, says
the Review. Mr. MeConahey will go

The members of the Irrigation
committee appointed this week by
the chamber of commerce to make
efforts to have Spokane chosen as the
seat of the Irrigation congress to bo
held lir the fall of 1909, have active
ly started the campaign. Correspond
ence has been opened with the com
mercial organizations of Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Califor
nia to enlist their support In behalf
of the movement to bring the con
gress here.
I,; Cf. Monroe, secretary of the
chamber of congress, said: "Denver,
J Col., will be our only serious rival
and we will have the advantage over
that city In view of the fact that
Spokane Is on the route from eastern
states to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
fair to be held in Seattle. TlckeU
from eastern points to Seattle will be
good for a stopover In Spokane, and
for that reason we have strong hopes
f being able to bring tho Irrigation
congress here."
