Spelt (Triticum Spelta).

Spelt Is cereal which In appear.
ance Is intermediate between wheat
and barley, but, In reality, is one OF
the types into which wheat is di.
vided. 1t is native Of the countries
near the Mediterranean sea. At the
present time it is grown principally on
the poorer soils in Switzerland south
ern Germany and northern Spain. 1t
is also grown at an elevation in Swift
zerland where the common wheat
(Triticum vulgare) will not thrive.
For general cultivation is is consid-
cred much inferior to the finer varie-
ties Of wheat. The head is open, mar
row, beaded or bald, and is usually
very long. When the grain is threshed
the head breaks into pieces at the diff
ferent joints, or nodes, leaving the
grain still clasped firmly by the chaff.
In order to make separation of the
chaff from the seed, special machinery
is required. The grain y medium
hard, and somewhat compressed at
the sides. The grain in Ontario fire.
quently called Spelt belongs to the
Emmer class, and is, therefore, i'm
properly named. To find out tho
value of Spelt for growing in Ontario,
we have imported at different times
no less than ten varieties from Swift
zerland, Russia, Germany, the Argen-
tine Republic and the United States.
Two of these varieties proved entire
failures, two others gave poor results,
and the other six varieties yielded
moderately WELL AS the grain is en-
closed by a chaff somewhat similar to
oats, and weighs less than 40 pounds
per measured bushel, the results here
presented are given in pounds, in
stead of bushels of grain per acre.
One of the best varieties of Spelt has
now been grown in the experimental
plots for five years, and has given an
average yield of 1923 pounds of grain
per acre-Ontario Station.

Loss in Overtime Wheat.

In 1879, DR.. r. c. kedzie, in an ak.
haustive study Of the ripening OF
wheat, pointed out that there was a
slight loss in weight between COM
plete ripeness and the stage generally
designated as dead ripe. Subsequent
experiment at this college nd else
where have given like results. There
is not only a loss by Smelling when
the grain becomes over-ripe, but a
given number of WalI $EieG kernels
or the product of - gwen area, kept
in the ordinary manner, will weigh
less if taken from an over-ripe field
than If taken from a field cut at the
proper time. Moreover, the amount
ana quality of the flour produced and
the terminating vigor Of the grain
itself are less IL the wheat is allowed
to become over-ripe than If cut at an
early period. These facts are now
well recognized by farmers, and ordi-
nary practice is regulated by this
knowledge. The loss in Smelling is un-
doubtedly Tia r1oss important one. and
fortunately it car be controlled in a

Tree Growth on Sand punes


In various parts OF Illinois and

formed by the wlsaS in past centuries

growth OF trees. such as oaks and
naples. The writer saw such dunes
In kankakee County. Illinois, last
week. There Is no better use 10 put
these dunes 20 than 10 grow trees on
them. But an improvement could be
made by cutting on the present growth

The latter would make a much more
vigorous growth. Or. what Is better.
the pine seeds might be sown in the
groves now standing. and the trees
now standing on them cut OF for fire.

as the pines push up. The oaks and
naples do not make large growth on
such land. One man said that II tho
Almighty wanted pines to grow on
there. But this hardly settles ;nc
matter, In the minds of most people;
10 they realize that the Almighty has
given us n few problems to work out
I: Is commonly believed that the nat
aral growth of trees indicates the
character Of the soil, and that the
Kind of trees will grow on any soil
that do best there. This is safe rule
to follow generally, but there are ex'
ceptions to this rule, and such eNcep-
lions are to be found on these Isolated
sand dunes. They are like islands In

the earth bears trees suitable to
loamy soil rather than to sandy soil.
II some birds had dropped the seeds
Of the pine cone on this land the pines
would have taken the lead and crowd
a! out the other trees, and the result
would have been stately forest OF
pines on each dune. But whence
should the seeds come when the land
was covered in all directions with
trees of nature differing from the
pine? The natural thing happened,
and these dunes became covered with
a growth little suited to them. 1t will

that she is among the breeds that will
