A New Food Lightens Food Durdea Prof. Buff urn, known as the "Burbank of Wyoming," has evolved a new grain, c.llod the black winter emmer. After ! years of experiment on his farm in the Big Horn Basin, the scientist believes he has found a solution to the forage problem of the West, as well as a means to lighten the cost-of-food bur den. The new grain is the re sult of crossing emmer with wheat and other grains. The resultant cereal will grow in a much drier soil, and yields four times more than wheat, though not so fine as that staple. Em mer itself was known by the Latins nearly 400 years before they knew how to bake bread; it is possible that it was the spelt or corn of w hich Pliny speaks. Prof. Duffuin is certain that his discovery will make dry farming a much simpler matter than it has been heretofore. New York American. Machine Pichs CoUoa. The first practical machine for picking cotton that has ever been tested was tried recently in North Carolina, according to the "Charlotta (N. C.) News." "The machine is almort human in its sclectiveness. Without injury to the plants, the green boll, or the few scattering leaves the worms have overlooked, the picking fingers of this truly wonderful machine take the lint out of the open burs and leaf cs them bare. After the machine has passed, the plant is there, uninjured, and only the cotton has disappeared. It is almost magic. The machine picks clean er and in better condition than the hand picker. Within its casings are tapering steel fingers hundreds of them each with very small teeth or barbs cut the full length of the finger on one of its sides, and all the fingers inserted in revolving steel tubes or casings. As the machine travels forward astride a row of cotton, these little fingers are thrust into the plant from either side, and. revolving rapidly, catch the open lock and wind it quickly from the burr. The fingers, loaded with cotton, cease to revolve as they are drawn out of the plant and pass through the stationary stripping bars, from which the cotton drops to the carrier belts, passes through the cleaning chambers, where dirt and trash are blown out of it, and drops into the baskets in the rear of the machine, ready to start on its journey to the gin."
