The Mythical Corn Wheat.


The Department of Agriculture at
Washington reports that an enormous
number of letters are being received
from farmers in all parts of the coun-
try. asking for definite information
concerning a so-ealled new grain des-
ignated as corn wheat" Samples for
trial are asked by most of these in
quirers. The department says that
these letters are obviously the result
of widely Published untruthful news
paper articles. The department au-
th0rizes the statement that there is no
such thing as corn wheat" and that
1t Is not probable corn and wheat can
ever he crossed, and that 1t is a GER
tainty, If they We're, that the hybrid
would not be fertile, The grain which
has caused the Juror the department
says, is known correctly as Polish
wheat, although the grain is not a M
tive of Poland, as the name suggests.
Its original home is in the Mediterran-
can region. The heads and grains of
this wheat are very large, the grains
being, In many cases. twice as large as
lose of ordinary wheat The state
ment that it yields from sixty to 100
bushels per acre. however. is an ex-
aggeration, although there. may be in
stances in idaho and Washington,
where the ordinary wheat yield is
large, where the crop may be sixty or
seventy bushels per acre
The experiments made by the de
partment with the Polish wheat have
generally shown that the yield is dis
appointing The new wheat has been
grown, except experimentally. in but
few places in this country. From the
experiments so far made the inference
is that the grain may be very good as
a hog food. But Polish wheat is much
restricted in its adaptability. and, the
department says, cannot be success sful-
ly grown anywhere east of the missis-
sippi River, but only in the great
plains region in Washington, Montana,
Idaho and the other parts of the Pa
cific States where the grain is grown.

A Thing TO Do,

Another ching we general farmers
ought to do, and that is set out more
forest trees. Did you notice the story
of that old walnut bridge in Indiana
that a certain company wanted so bad
ly that they were willing TO put up a
good steel bridge in the place of it?
The wood. they thought, would be
worth more than the steel bridge. And
the men who controlled the walnut
bridge refused the offer. Now. this
state of affairs is likely to continue.
Our forests are vanishing, and unless
you and /, the general farmers of the
country, get right down to business
and plant trees the day is near at hand
when fencing and building material
will be worth almost as much as gold.
Every farm ought TO be turn ID into a
little forestry station. We can easily
get the seeds of such trees as are in
digenous to our locality and plant
them. Time will do the rest, and some
day the world will thank us for doing
what we did.-Up-to-Date Farming.
