The Falsa and the True
The Independent has often remarked
that the apparent in most cases is
false and if the truth is discovered, It
must be by Investigation and study.
Those who never think, have been
the ones upon "which plutocracy has
fattened and upon whose backs the
kings and nobility have ridden for
thousands of years. The.effort of The
Independent has always been to stim
ulate its readers to think for them
selves. If the people of the . United
States had done even a very little
thinking, the trusts would not now be
riding them with whip and spur. Ca
naille Flammeron, the great French
scientist and scholar, put the fact that
not only the apparent Is nearly al
ways false, but the senses often de
ceive us, in the following very strong
language:
"We see the sun, the moon, the stars
revolving, as it seems to us, round us.
That is all false. We feel that the
earth is motionless. That is false too.
We see the sun rise above the hori
zon. It is beneath us. We touch what
we think is a solid body. There is no
such thing. We hear harmonious
sounds. But the air has only brought
us silently undulations that are silent
themselves. We admire the effects of
light, and of the colors that bring
vividly before- our eyes the splendid
scenes of nature, but, In fact, there is
no light, there are no colors. It U
the movement of opaque ether which
gives us the impression of light and
color. We burn our foot in the fire.
It is not the foot that pains us. It is
in our brain that the feeling of being
burned resides. We speak of heat and
cold. There Is neither" heat nor cold
in the universe, only motion.
"Thus our senses mislead us as to
the reality of objects around us. Sen
sation and reality are two different
things.
"We depend too much upon the tes
timony of our senses in our judgment
of everything that is new, though it
is a fact that they deceive us contin
uously." x

Macaroni Wheats
During 1902, one hundred tests of
macaroni wheat were conducted in
various parts of Nebraska. Seed of
several varieties of macaroni wheat
was distributed by the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture through the Ne
braska experiment station, each ex
perimenter receiving one bushel of
seed. The test was planned to cover
the following points: (1) The pro
ductiveness of macaroni wheat as
compared with other spring varieties
or with wiuter wheat; (2) the portion
of the state to which it is best
adapted; (3). the varieties best suited
to growth in this region.
Tests were conducted in the follow
ing counties: Adams. Blaine. Box
Butte, Boyd, Brown, Buffalo, Butler,
cnerry, Clay, Custer, Dawes, Frank
lin, Furnas. Gage. Gosner. Hall. Har
lan, Hitchcock. Holt. Howard. Keith
Lincoln, Logan. Merrick, Perkins,
Phelps, Polk. Red Willow. Srotts
Bluff, Sheridan. Sherman. Thavor.
Valley, and Webster.
The average yield of all
wheats tested in 1902 was 18.3 bushels
per acre. From the data at hand it
is safe to say that macaroni wheats
yield better than other spring varie
ties, but how they compare in this
respect with winter wheat in western
Nebraska cannot be definitely stated
at this time.
The average yield per acre of the
varieties obtained from Russia was
21.2 bushels, and of the varieties ob
tained from Algeria 17.6 bushels.
The average yield of all sowings
made earlier than Anril 1 was 19.5
bushels per acre; of all sowings made
later than April 1, 17.5 bushels per
acre.
The growing of macaroni wheat fn
western Nebraska promises to add a
new and useful crop to that region.
