A New Cereal.

A New Jersey farmer can claim
the glory of having brought into
existence cereal which may
prove of incalculable value to the
race. He has succeeded in making
a cross between the wheat and
rye plants. The propagating or
gans of the former are so guarded
by nature that no other cereal can
impregnate it. But this Jersey
man by removing the male organs
from the wheat, and exposing the
seed has succeeded in fertilizing
it with Pollen from the rye plant.
These experiments have continued
for several years, and this spring
there will be planted probably a
hundred of these hybridized
seed. OF course all agricul-
turists are aware of the immense
Importance of new cereal that
would combine the qualities of the
wheat and rye plants. But it may
be necessary to explain to those
who are not farmers what some of
these are. Rye can grow in poorer
soil, and natures quicker than
wheat. Good crops of it are raised
on soils which have been impover-
ished by wheat growing. This is
true of three fourths of the arabic
soil of the United States, This
new hybrid. if extensively grown,
would give us an immense advan-
tage over the rest of the world, for
it could be raised almost anywhere
in the United States, and so cheap
" that we could undersell the
world. OF course this is assuming !
hat the seed would make almost |
Is good -four as wheat and that
t would be as easy to raise as rye.
