correspond closely to those of Labra- dor. It is believed that this rye will do well in Alaska, a section which has not yet produced cereals except In an ex- perimental way.
 The cereal that promises best results in the Kubanka wheat, from the Kuban territory, in the Volga region. While this is a spring wheat in Russia, it is believed that it can be changed to winter wheat here. It is much harder than any of the American wheats, and is the great bread wheat of the Volga region. It is, however, for this purpose mixed with softer Wheats to the eX- tent of 10 to 20 per cent. This wheat needs a warm climate and is expected to give good results in Texas Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. It does best in Russia, where the annual rain fall is only about fifteen inches. In Western Kansas the annual rainfall is about eighteen inches Professor Carle- ton thinks that the greatest difficulty this variety will meet with here Is the objection of millers to grinding it, ow- ing to it's great hardness
 A variety called Polish wheat, which W all wheats in the world, the average length of the kernels being about five sixteenths of an inch. Like the Ku- banka, it is exceedingly hard, but it is not bread wheat. Its use is in pastry and as a macaroni wheat American macaroni, which is not made from wheat imported for the purpose, is now made from North Dakota hard wheat. The polish wheat needs a warm climate, and is expected to four ish wherever the Kubanka wheat does.
 Several varieties of broom millet are to come. These are for cold, dry climates. It is not asserted that they are superior to the millets now grow ing in this country, but it is thought that they will grow where those do not flourish. These are grown in Rus sia for the seed principally, and are used for food in the way of soups and gruels. Another importation, which in Russia is largely used in soups and gruels, is a Siberian buckwheat It is called gigantic buckwheat,' from the immense size of the kernels, being nearly twice the size of the American grain. Most is expected from this in troduction in dry, cold regions.
 A variety of spelt, called "Polha' in Russia, is another importation which grows in Russia in regions so cold that other cereals will not grow. This may prove to be an excellent winter grain here. and especially suitable for Alaska. It is grown in Russia almost exclusively for feed. The kernels are very hard.
 Two varieties of oats, the Swedish and Tobolsk, are expected to be the thing needful in the dry, cold regions of the West. The Swedish variety or ignally came from Finland but in Russia it has been grown many years, each year from selected seed The government importation is from this selected seed. The other variety is from Tobolsk, In the northern part of Siberia, where it is very dry and cold.
 The total impoftations amount to about thirty varieties of cereals and forage plants, besides vegetable seeds and melons.-From The New York Tribune.
