CRoSS-BRED CROPS.
Natural Types OF FOodstuffs Improv-
ed ArtincinIIy in England.

The latest and most daring experiment
of modern agriculture was inspected the
other day by a party of gentlemen from
London. who found il well worth while to
spend the whole sultry day in a railway
carriage for the sake of one short hour
on a farm planted among the Lancashire
mills at Observation-Disclosures. 1t is here
that Messrs. Carton Limited, have the
results of twenty years research in a
hitherto undiscovered domain of evolu-
ton.
They have done what no one else ex-
copt. perhaps. Major Hallett has ever Sc
riously thought of-they have actually
bred wheat oats. barley, and other field
plants in order to produce the perfect
type, just as the stock farmer breeds ami
mails.
The significance of this Is very strange.
Nature has denied TO cereals the oppur-
tunity of specialization; Messrs. Gar
ton have artihcially supplied and foster
ed it. And the results today are start
ling as the theory was twenty years ago,
when Mr. John Carton, the youngest of
three brothers. started to put it into prac-
tice.
A stock OF wheat can be produced by
cross sterilization which combines the
