Show DURUM OR MACARONI WHEAT In Dry Northwest It Has Met With Considerable Favor It Resists Drought Splendidly. Durum wheat is generally grown as a spring wheat In the dry northwest it has met with considerable favor. It generally out-yields spring wheat and resists drougth splendidly. The greatest great-est objection to growing macaroni wheat ir, this country has been the lack of market, the millers at first discriminating against it. Analyses Indicate that Durum wheat has a high value for feeding purposes, being considerably con-siderably richer in protein than ordinary or-dinary wheat, says the Wallaces' Farmer, it is so hard, though, that it must be ground before being fed. We have reason to suspect that a larger amount of feeding nutrients can be obtained from an acre of Durum wheat In a dry season than from any other spring grain unless It be barley or corn. Durum wheat does not stool quite as much as ordinary spring wheat, and consequently should be sown a lltr tle thicker. |
