THIS WHEAT GROWS
IN POOREST OF SOIL
Scientist’s Discovery Is Believed
to Mean Doubling of Crop
of the United States
Doubling the wheat crop of the Uuit*-d
State* ia the possibility raised by scien
tific! discoveries made by Professor Aaron
Aarousobu of Jerusalem, according to
an announcement made at the Umver
ity of Chicago.
Professor Aaronsohn is director of the
agricultural station iu Palestine, an in
stitution financed by Jolins Rosen wald
and Jndge Julian Mack of Chicago.
The iovestigator, who found the orig
inal wheat plant growing wild in Pales
tine after years of searoh, is engaged in
crossing the plant with better grades of
wheat in order to prodnce a superior
one.
The experiments, Aaronsohn asserted,
show that a type of wheat oan be pro
duced adapted to the semi arid regions
of Algeria, Tonis, Syria, Egypt, Tnrke
■tan and other Eastern countries aDd to
similar laud in the United States.
Plants grown by the experiments thrive
iu rocky, shallow and dry toil without
cultivation.
Aaronsohn told of his work on a for
mer vtatt to Chicago and Rosen wald and
Ustfi advanoed money for the station in
Palestine. Botanists at the University
of Chicago have followed the work with
interest.
"This is really the biggest proposition
regarding the food supply of the world
uow before us,” said Professor Coulter,
head of the department of botauy at the
University, who talked with Professor
Aaronsohn. “The crossing of the wild
wheat with other grades will insure
crops id drouth and in arid lauds. It
will be (be salrati n of the Eastern
countries.”
Tlie way to get your expectations to
come out right is not to have any.

GENERAL MILES PRAISES BUL6ARS
Thorough Training, Secrecy and Rapid
Mobilization Are Causes of Success
"The marvelous success of the Bui
ganau army," said Lieuien lUt-Generai
Nelson A. Mile* st Fitchburg. Mass.,
the other night, "is doe to three essen
tial things that they have observed iu
preparing for war: Tborongb training,
entire secrecy, and rapidity of mobilize
tton."
General Miles’ son, Oaptiin Sherman
Miles, is the American military att*oh>
lu the Btlkan States, and has been with
the main Bulgarian army. During the
last eight months be has been making a
careful atudy of the org.mizition and
equipment of the Btlkan armies
•Speaking from information cou'aine<i
in letters from his ton, General Miles
said:
"The personnel of the Bulgarian
troop* ia splendid, as I personally wit
ueesed when 1 went to the Balkans for
• he war of 1896, the physique of the
men is superb and the only comparison
I oan make is witb onr own Amerioan
backwoodsmen daring the Otvtl War.
Filled with enthusiasm as they now are,
they are the equal of any soldiers iu the
world.
"We may say that a new firs -class
hghtiug power has arisen in the storm
ceuteaof Europe. Uuless the accounts
from the seat of battle are exagger
ated, the battle aroond Adrtauople is
the bloodiest yet fought. A loss of
90,000 out of even 200,000 is incredible
•ud I am iucliued to think there is a
mistake. I don’t think that there will
be any stampede to Constantinople,
and am inclined to think the Turks are
retiring in better order than is reported. ’’

SALE OF CRUDE OIL
TO BE DISCONTINUED
Action of Standard Oil Company
Will Boost Prices Fifty Per
Cent at Many Factories
A Chicago dispatch says: Action stop
ping the sale of fnel oil after Decem
ber 1, a step expected to boost price*
iu many important manufacturing litn a
as much as 50 per cent, has been taken
by tbe Standard Oil Company. The phe
nomenal increases in the use of gaso
line for propelling automobiles and
other machinery la given as ‘the cause
for the abandonment of tbe fuel oil
branoh of the business.
It has been found morn profitable to
refine oil than to sell it for fnel. The
situation is serious for manufacturers
whose furnaces are fitted for oil. In
dependents cannot supply tbe demand
and it. will cost fortunes to revamp tbe
plants to meet the new conditions.
Scores of millions of barrels of erode
oil are bnrned as fuel yearly. The In
ternational Harvester Company aloue
uses 8,000,000 barrels aunnally. Manu
lactnrers will be forced to ose more
expensive sorts of fuel, and are already
sending out notices of advances in tbeir
