temperature arid and moisture it if this bo be true it become beconi eg 1 of great im to us its to know what hat happens to wheat grown in this state the oreg inal seed of which has haa been imported fi aiom om other sections As we all know there Is something radically wrong with the gra grain in industry of utah As I 1 have taken occasion before to point out there are at least two fac tots tois which contribute to this condl condi tion first tho the farmers are grow growing the white soft starchy cheats having a low crude protein content second they are growing a greit number of miscellaneous vail vaile etlea ties of wheat out of the mixture of which it la Is ble for the miller to make a uniform grade of flour tsuch being true tile the logical ionized would appear to bo be to introduce and grov row tile tho hard red cheats having a high protein content and to unito on oil mome few varieties or of wheat in order that tile tho millers may make a uniform product of lour flour when however hoever such IB suggested wo we nil all seem to believe that we are confronted with a condition over which wo we have no conti control ol 01 and cannot correct we are ready to admit that the hard rod red varieties of wheat such as turkey red when grown in kansas or south dakota have good chemical milling arid and baking qualities hut but when it la suggested BUg to introduce these varieties virlet loa here wo we immediately say eay that it can call not be done recluse the haid led cheats biown lit in utah from imported seed immediately fall to the level or of our white soft

volume pio deuced by a given weight of flour when made into do dough ugh the 9 greater renter tile the number of loaves of a given ble the baker will be able to make it if tile the flour has great
