Extract

With the development of irrigation projects in intermountain areas of the Rocky Mountain States has come an enormous increase in the amount of wheat produced annually with irrigation. The crop commands the attention and consideration of millers and grain men generally in intermountain sections and will continue to do so because there is in cultivation at present a small fraction only of the acreage that can be successfully farmed with irrigation. The general run of irrigated wheat regardless of the class to which the varieties may belong is plump and relatively heavy. It is unfortunately at the same time soft and starchy and because of its relatively low protein content is almost invariably sold on markets that do not stress strength in wheat flour.
