Thn EaHt Orcponlan nan Just rc'dv ed tho following Interesting letter from Prof. Pyron Hunter, asslHtant agriculturist In charge of farm man agement Investigations In Oregon, Washington and Idaho, concerning tho new varieties of hybrid wheat propagated at the Washington State college; Walla Walla. Sept. 15. (To the Editor.) Through your valuable pa per I wish to call the attention of my farmer friends to the merit of the new hybrid wheats propagated by our state experiment station at Pullman. Wash. When I was a student at the state college some 10 or 12 years ago Prof. W. J. Rplllman, then, head of the department of agriculture. nw the neeesHily of Introducing Into east ern Washington varieties of wheat that are better adapted to agricultu ral conditions and methods of hnr vcMIng than ordinary standard varie ties that were grown at that time, pnHscssed. 'V After falling to get what he wanted by testing varieties, he turned his at tention to hybridization, or crowing the standard varieties. He wanted a true whiter wheat that would stand the winters. He further wanted a variety with a stiff straw and a head that would not shatter. Hy making the proper' selections for Ills crosses he took pa rent plants or varieties both of which combined possessed all of these char-iictcrlstlr-i. T Tt It was also hoped that by making these crosses the ability to yield well would be Increased. After getting the work well started, I'mf. SpHlman left the college and went Into the I'nlted States department f agriculture. Since his departure from the state the whent breeding work, h is been carried on under the able direction of Trof. K. K. Elliott. During the last four years Trof. Claud Iviwrence has loolud after every detail of the work. It has re quired 1" years of patient careful work on the part of the station to propagate, perfect and 'est these new wheats. The station staff now have a right to assert that It knows the value of what It Is distributing to the farmers. New Hybrid Wheats. The new varieties to which I wish to call special attention, are the fol lowing: Hybrid No. 128. a Winter Fife and I.ittl Hybrid No. 123. a Winter Fife and I-.lt II cross Club cross Club bet ween between Hybrid No. 143, a cross between White Truck and Little Club. Hybrid No. 63, a cross between Turkey lied and Little Club. All of these new wheats have the Llttlo Club shaped head and do not shatter easily. They are all true win ter wheats ami lire said to bo as hardy as the Red Russian. They all have stiff straw with tho exception of No. 63, Its straw being Intermediate be tween that of Utile Club and Turkey Ited, the parent varieties. No. 1 2 S has a white kernel or berry and grades as club wheat, while that of No. 123 Is similar In color to Winter Fife. These wheats have been grown by the farmers for two years and It Is upon the reports of the farmers that we base our opinion as to their worth. I am Just In receipt of a letter from II. II. Curtis of Pullman, Wash., that shows the comparative yield of No. 128 and some of the standard wheats grown In his neighborhood. Mr. Curtis writes as follows: "Answering your letter regarding the yield of No. 128 hybrid (Jones Fife and Little Club cross) wheat. will say that I certainly consider It a su perior wheat to the old standard va rieties. My Hybrid No. 128 on the Thompson place, 77 acres, made 43 bushels per acre, while by lied Rus sian on my home place made 37 bush els. The ground on my home place was In better condition than that on the Thompson place, "George Miller, east of Albion, Wash., sowed last fall Forty-fold, Red Russian and 158 acres of No. 128. The Red Russian made 27 bushels, the Forty-fold 30 bushels and No. 128 40 bushels per acre under the same conditions. Mr. Peterson, six miles northwest of Pullman, sowed Forty- fold and No.- 128. The Forty-fold made 4 0 bushels and No. 1 28 50 bush els per acre. "Regarding smut, will say that I had very little smut this year. If It Is thoroughly .treated the smut will not bother. My wheat Is No. 1 and sted 60 and 61 pounds. 1 sells on the market the same as club, but mills that have made a test of It claim that It Is a little better than club, but not as good as bluestem. "Since receiving your letter will say that I have consulted Prof. Severance regarding No. 128 for the Athena and Weston section of the country and he thinks that It will be well adapted' there. I lived there for eight years and know that the club types do well and can see no possible reason why No. 128 would not make an excellent yield there. "Considering that this Is only the second year that this wheat has been grown in any quantity and that I alone have sold 1000 bushels for seed, gives you an Idea what the people litre think of It." You Can't Curo t'oiiHlljMitlon ' By taking purgatives, ealts, or ; other drugs that act harshly or vlo-I lently upon the stomach or bowels, , Ask any doctor, and ho will tell you that iniriratH'es of nnv character dls- I tend the bowels and weakne the elas tic tissue. To cure constipation, remove the cause. The cause of constipation Is Indigestion. If your food digested properly It would continue on from the stomach through the bowels and would be eliminated without effort and with regularity. Ml o-na tablets cure constipation by curing your Indigestion. It is not i a purgative. It Is a stomach tonic and more It tones, up, strengthens, Invigorates, refreshes and Injects new life Into the fori) out muscles of the stomach, and In a, short time makes the stomach hardy enough to digest anything you eat. It Is a powerful yet harmless stomach tonic, and Its resistless Influence on the stomach Is astonishing. Try Ml-o-na fiir constipation. One box will cure you of Indigestion; two boxes will relieve you of constipation; and best of all, Ml-o-na Is such an economical remedy. A large box only costs 50 cents, and then. If you are not satisfied with results Tallman & Co., the druggists, will give you your money back. Ml-o-na cures all stomach disor ders whether acute or chronic, Buch as dyspepsia, vomiting, over-Indulg ence of the nigni nerore, sea or car sickness, stomach sickness of pros pective mothers, etc. Read this from the president of a New York corporation: "1 have been a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia and gastritis for two years.

I Diversity of Oregon, F.ugene, Sept. la. (Special.) The Y. M. C A. of the University of Oregon has devised a novel and effective method for as sisting new students to find boarding and rooming places. They will erect a large t'nt near the depot where headquarters will be established and full Information kept in regard to all boarding houses. A large Oregon banner Is to be placed above the entrance, nnd all of the assistants, of whom there will be lL' or 15, kill also wear the Oregon colors. They expect all students to make the tent headquarters and to leave suitcases and parcels there until rooms are found. I Miring the four or five days In which students are arriving In great est numbers a sufficiently large num ber of helpers will be on hand to show them the best boarding places. The number of rooms available this year, both for men nnd women. Is much larger than usual. Cheaper-diw In llt'lt Hi City.
