The item which appeared in the Mon
IToR recently. in regard to the wheat
raised by O. L. Kidder, was incorrect
as to the name of the wheat. which
should have been "white Russian" in
stead Of '.white Peruvian" The COM
lnunity in this vicinity were swindled a
year ago by the "white Peruvian" which
proved to be beardless barley. The
wheat from which l grew the crop re-
ported originated in Wisconsin from a
Russian seed. I obtained the seed in
Chicago last spring. The yield was at
the rate of 40 bushels to the acre.
