No doubt that par tu iilar variety would prove to be ,t jood variety for certain condi tions, but you do not know n«r have any guarantee as to what it will do under your own condi tions.

We then have the Early, Medium and Lat*. Well known varieties of the Early group are Sixty Day and Kher son.

Most of the stations conclude from their results that Emmer is not as consistent and high in yield as the best varieties of oats and barley. However an exam ination of the records shows that although emmer does not yield as high on the average, it sur pases oats and barley in most dry years like 1911. Emmer has proven to be a good drought and rust resistent. It would there fore appear that emmer could be l^rown on the f^rms of this sec tion of the state to good advan tage.

Cody was dying in Denver last night, facing death in the same inanner he faced it many a time on the plains of the west in con flicts that made his name fam ous. Col. Cody heard the warning words of the approach of the end of his life today from Dr. J. H. East, his physician and friend. When Dr. East walked into his room, Col. Cody said: "Doctor, what are my chant es?" "There is a time, colonel," said Dr. East, when every honest physician must commend his pa tient to a higher power." Col. Cody turned to his sister, Mrs. May Decker. "May," said he, "let the Elks and Masons take charge of the funeral." Then the man who made his tory in the West when it was young, began methodically to ar range his affairs. At 10:30 p. m. Dr. East said he was sinking rapidly.
