Interesting to Wheat Growers. How to grow more and better wheat” was the slogan of the Purdue lecturers on the special wheat train, which lias just completed a ten days tour of the Southern and Chicago and Eastern Illinois R. R. The train left New Albany Tuesday and completed the trip at Goodland, Saturday. During the trip 83 towns were visited, and lectures given on the most improved methods relatiti!-, to wheat growing. Everywhere the university people were greeted by large crowds of interesting and enthusiastic farmers and business men. The people of the state appreciate more and more, the value of the results of the work of the Ex periment Station, and welcome sug gestions from its workers. The olijects of the train were explained by Professor G. !• Christie of the University. He stated that during the past season, wheat in Indiana has been a partial failure. As a result of the loss in the erop. many farmers are inclined to slot growing wheat and try some other crop. Professor Christie advised the farmers to stay by the wheat crop Wheat is tlie best paying of all small grain crops grown in the state. During the past ten years the value of the oats crop has been I8.D9 per arre, while for the same period, wheat has shown a return of $12.68 per acre. So long as people eat bread, just so long must wheat be grown to furnish flour. Indiana produces annually more soft winter wheat than any other state. There is a great demand for Indiana flour and an effort must be made to keep up the

production.

Again, to maintain soil fertility so that maximum erops may be grown a rational systematic rotation of crops must he practiced. This rotation should include a legume rrop, end this legume, in a majority of rases, should be red clover. The wheat crop serves as a desirable one with which to get a stand of clover. In this way wheat serves a most valuable purpose. Wheat has a place
