WHEAT PUZZLE
decrease in per capita consumption

bus.iels per year before the war to
four bushels in 1928.
OKJahoma City, Okla. V
irmers of the hard red. winter
wheat belt have organized to com
bat Canadian and Argentine compe
tition and to sponsor research that
may solve current problems of pro
duction and muling.
Representatives of farming inter
ests in five principal wheat-growing
states Kansas, Colorado, Ne
braska, Texas and Oklahoma are
included in the Hard Red Winter
Wheat Research conference.
Agricultural colleges, experiment
stations, commercial agencrs, grain
dealers' associations and various
farm organizations have banded
together in the common movement.
Three sets of problems will get
Immediate consideration: finding
proper methods for handling '"com
bined" wheat, learning the relative
value of new methods of soil tillage
by power machinery, and "how to
get the real value of high quality
wheat when we grow it."
The United States department of
agriculture is supporting the con
ference, whose president is Car.1
Williams, editor of the Oklahoma
Farmer-Stockman. .
"Our first step," Williams ex
plained, "will be to determine what
we don't know about wheat. Then
a research program will be con
ducted at various colleges and ex
periment stations, in cooperation
with the department of agriculture,
with a view to solution of immedi
ate as well as future problems.
"It's a long way from the scien
tist in his breeding plot to the
larmer in his field, yet the work or
one is necessary to the success of
the other."
Williams believes American
wheat farmers are confronted with
a serious problem of competition in
Canada and Argentine, where farm
ers can grow and market wheat
cheaper because of newer land,
higher yields per acre and a lower
level of production and transporta
tion costs.
Furthermore, he points out, other
difficulties are presented by declin
ing per capita consumption of
wheat In the United States, and
the likelihood that Russia, which
formerly produced one-fourth of the
world's crop, may return to im
portance as a wheat-growing coun
try. He cites statistics shoeing the

of California, shippers are packing
their product in barrels instead of
"lugs" or boxes.
In barrels the grapes are frozen
and placed in cold storage until
market conditions assure a profit.
Then they are shipped to the point
where a demand is found.
Officials say the new method will
prevent flooding the country with
grapes during the producing reason
and save vineyar&sLsts from recur

How the cooking tests
were conducted
Slowly, carefully tasting as they went
Women o! the United States will be inter
ested in knowing how the now famous cook
ing tests were recently conducted in New
York by four famous cooking experts.
Vegetable foods were chosen and cooked
in many ways, because vegetables are so im
portant to the balanced diet. The experts
were experienced in discriminating shades of
flavor. Not more than three vegetables were
cooked and tested at one time in order that
the sense of taste should not be blunted. This explains why the
tests had to be carried over such a long period of time.
In every case, vegetables cooked in little water with the addi
tion of a dash of sugar won unanimously.
This, at first, might strike some as surprising, but it must be
reirembered that it is not the purpose of the small amount of
sugar to make the vegen.lcs taste sweet. Sugar is used here at
a seasoning, and it is perhaps the greatest seasoning of all. It
develops the natural, delicate flavors of the vegetables just as it
does of fruits, cereals, meats, gravies and soups.
Encourage variety and you encourage health for every member
of your family. Serve at least two cooked vegetables a day in
addition to a raw vegetable salad. Serve at least two fruits a
day. Serve milk desserts. Then make the balanced diet so attrac
tive that everyone will welcome it. Good food promotes good
health. The Sup.ar Institute.

QUARANTINE ON

FAR-REACHING
Washington OP) Federal offi
cials working tp check the Mediter
ranean fruit fly say new points of
infestation are found -dally In Flor
ida. The secretay of agriculture has
revised the quarantine to make It
possible to regulart any new area
immediately.
The revision provides; further
more, that no host fruit or vege
tables shipped from Florida into
northern and northeastern states
may be reshlpped to territory in
the south and west, where direct
shipment from Florida already is
prohibited.
That means no product from
Florida, likely to carrv the fly .can

original point of infestation. Fly
infested fruit has been found in
markets in Texas, Arkansas, Geor

Ohio and in New York City.
Orchard infestation Is said to be
confined to Florida. Officials deny
any known infestation in Georgia
where the peach crop soon is to be
harvested. Wherever the pest may
appear, the government Is ready,
by virtue of its revised quarantine,
to act immediately for Its suppres

a vigorous campaign to ferret out
all Flflnda fruit and destroy any
found to be infested. They are
cleaning up dumps and other places
where the larvae might be hiding
to prevent local infestation.

THREE PEAS TO
SAVE MILLIONS
FOR FARMERS
Greenville, Mich., (IP From three
peas "smuggled" into the United
States' quite accidentally &ix years
ago, an industry which seems des
tined to contribute millions of dol
lars in value to American farmers
has been developed by Dr. Wil
liam Hansen, local veterinarian.
The peas were found in two
quarts of Swedish vetch seed -which
Dr. Hansen purchased for use on
his farm In Kent county. He was
attracted by their appearance and
planted them by themselves to ob
serve their growth characteristics.
Hansen's Swedish peas, as they
have become known, promise to be
one oi the nation's leading soil
builders, They make a larger foliage
growth than any other variety of
field peas. A vigorous root system,
knotted with nitrogen -bearing no
dules, -extends deep into the sol!.
Vines extend 6 or 12 feet in length
often, with a profliflc growth.
The original three p?as nave
been increased to nine bushels.
Indications are that they will yield
about 30 bushels of seed to the
acre, according to W. C. Cribfcw.
