New Varieties of Wl,eat.

Whatever can decrease the cost of or
add to the productiveness of our crops
adds to the comfort of our homes. Itis.a
benefit to ourselves and society, blessing
to our prosperity and an important service
to the nation. In an industrial point of,
view the introduction of new prolific va
riety of grain is of immense national inn
portance, and in this connection will say
that it is not so much the soil in the culti-
walton as the variety itself that
insures success. Without a variety of
great natural vigOr, all the condition for q
large crop may be perfect, YET the result
will be unsatisfactory. Old methods are
giving way to new, old machines to later
improved, and old varieties that have lost
their original vigor give way when brought
into competition with newer and improved
kinds. a I Z -
Because a variety is new, however, is
no evidence of its worth, as hundreds Of
varieties are originated to where one is
found that is better than the old sorts,
while one is offered with real merit.
If the farmers could distinguish between
the good and the bad varieties, hundreds
OF dollars would be saved to them, and the
introducer of a valuable article could ex-
pect profit commensurate with the value
OF the great work he is doing. Jefferson
says: THE greatest blessing that can be
rendered to any country is to add useful
plant to culture"
A few years ago Mr.. Everitt of Penn
Sylvania began a series of experiments,
crossing the Martins Amber on a number
OF other varieties principally early maturing
red grained sorts, and, as he anticipated,
was uccessful in producing new variety
possessing the remarkable stooling pro-
pensities, great productiveness of Martins
Amber, and one week earlier 1t was
named Eyeritt's high grade.
The following is a brief but reliable de-
scription Of Eyeritt's high grade wheat:
Smooth srsins head whit white chat red grains
They are enclosed in close fitting chaff,
which protects the grain effectualIy from
being shelled out in handling.
Straw grows about five feet high, al
though 1 have known it to reach six feet on
rich ground and favorable season. It is
1t is bright and clean, and 1 have never
known 1t to rust: In season it is early,
ripens with the FuJtz and other popular
varieties. Clean wheat Of this variety
seldom weighs less than "a pounds to the
measured bushel. It yields a very large
return OF Hour and is perfectly suited to
ous stalk, and is one of the most hardy
growers know of. Even if very thin in
the spring it will thicken up and make a
full crop where many other kinds would
not pay to cut
In the important matter of productive
ness it is simply immense.
