Developing Varieties That
Will Resist the Infection
or VIII Ripen Early and
Escape 1t:

New varieties of wheat, which it is
confidently hoped will be able to with
stand or escape the ravages Of the
black rust, are being developed by the
patient work of the experts at the
state experimental station at st. An
boring to learn the exact nature of the
rust spores, and how they are trans
mitted, the local experimenters are go
ing at the problem with methods, that
promise to be of great practical bene-
fit, Judging by the partial results al
ready accomplished. 1t does not seem
possible that science can prevent rust
to the spores, but Professor Andrew
Boss and his assistants at St. Anthony
Park believe that with the new varie-
ties we'll distributed, the farmers dan
ger of loss will eventually be reduced
to a low minimum.
Work is proceeding along two lines.
In one field the experimenters are seek
ing to develop plants with special quail
tiles as rust resistants, from which to
propagate new variety. In other parts
Of the big grain nursery are being. de-
veloped eXtra-early varieties, which
promise to mature before the rust
can get in its deadly work. Late
wheat, requiring more time to ripen, is
in greater danger from injury by the
WASH
I Importance in maturing the crop.
l. A Journal man visited the ex-
pertinent farm the other day and saw
the process of developing these new
varieties in all it's stages. The work
| toward breeding rust-resisting wheat
is comparatively simple, and along
common-sense lines. 1t began several
years ago, when there was a season of
unusual damage from the rust. Pro
| fpSSOr cicto
rotary of agriculture, who was then at
che head Of the work, went out with his
assistants into the field of rusted wheat
and picked out the plants that had no
rust spores from their surroundings
This seed was sowed the next year and
another selection made. 1t has not
been possible to make progress every
year, because there are some seasons
when rust does not develop at all, but
last year was bad one for rust, and
the fields at the state farm were severe
ly attacked The wheat selected for
resisting rust weathered the plague best
of any, and another seed selection was
made from the plants that were not in
fected, altho apparently exposed to it
as much as the rest. This year there
are 10000 plants, in round numbers, of
this selected wheat. Altho rust is in.

great difference in the amount on diff.
ferent plants. Professor Boss, who is
now in charge Of the work, is not, salts

TORTOISE 200 YEARS OLD

in Three Centuries.

Boyertown, Pa, Aug. 5.-Since 1896
tortoise marked with the initials
cd. W. has been waddling about the
West farm, in the Obey valley. and
thru it's more than century of known
existence the West family has kept
track Of it.
How old the tortoise was at the time
it was decorated with the initials there
is no means Of telling. David West, a
boy of Is years. and a grandson of John
West, who settled on the farm in 1740,
was the person who first sunk his jack
knife into it's shell.
The same year David West marked
the tortoise he died from typhoid fever;
but his brother, John, renewed the
marks from year to year until 1886,
when he died. John IS son, Daniel, looked
after the tortoise. and renewed the in
scription until ten years ago. when at
his death, James West took charge.
The tortoise is seen nearly every
month by some member Of the West
family.

DRIVEN OUT BY MOUSE

Elder Fulton handed the mouse a.
