The Scott Wheat.-This is superb
grain, and its history as related to bee re-
porter by Wood county Granger, is some
what interesting. A gentleman of the
name of Scott, farmer of Logan county, of
this State, some years ago had field of
wheat entirely ruined by rust. Accident
ally he discovered three or four sprigs Of
wheat near stump in this field, that
were thrifty and not at all affected by the
rust. These hs carefully gathered and laid
away, The following year every grain Of
this was sowed and jealously watched.
They gave him good yield. While the
rust again damaged hIs other wheat, this
was free. Its yield was ganered and pre-
served for the third year. The same pro-
cess was gone through with for fourth
year, until by this time he had several
acres of this hardy wheat. That year the
weevil played sad havoc with other wheat
but this was found to be not only rust
proof, but weevil-proof rs we'll. Ii became
known as the Scott wheat, and ~ its ex-
cellence and certainty OF yield became
known, the demand for it increased every
where, and now It is one Of the most pop
ular known. Bee.
