FAyoRs HI6H BRED SEED.
Assistant Secre tary Hays Makes
Valuable sugges tiOns Bear
ing on Wheat Culture.

The following Washington dlepatch
was published in the Minneapolis
Journal Of January 90:
Professor W. NJ Hays, assistant Sec
retary Of agriculture, has some decided
views regarding the seed-wheat ques-
tion, which is now agitating the SPRING
wheat section of the northwest. When
the Journal correspondent today asked
him TO express his views on that sub
.iact for publication, there was prompt
Response. Prof Hays handles ques.
4ions without gloves, and Is not at oil
[ in sympathy with the idea Of importing
sCsnadian wheat for seed. His views
were given the Journal at length, and
they will be heard with interest In
Minnesota and the Dakotas. He be-
gins with statement explaining tho
causes and character of rust in wheat,
and from that goes straight into the
discussion of seed for the present years
crop. He says:
II have been too buey for several
weeks to complete proposed bulletin
on the seed. grain problem. I expect
that the Minnesota experiment station
will have something to say on that
subject soon.
Ina large section Of Minnesota and
the Dakotas the wheat is too much
shrunken to be used for seed. This
shrunken condition was caused almost
wholly BY q disease known Is rust.
This disease consists Of growth from
spores Of q needle. like fungus half an
inch or 90 in length and. which. in turn,
.sbesrs more spores The spores falling
son the leaf of the wheat early in the
season, germinate, and the thread like
sprouts find their way thru the minute
fbreathing pores or holes in the skin
(of the plant The thread like rust
! plant bores its way for half an inch
,,cr more thru the tissue Of the leaf and
goes to seed. That is. on the end Of
this little rust fungus spores are formed.
These are in such large masses under
the surface of the leaf that its skin
Is burst and the mass of spores are
exposed az yellow blotch.
DISEASE DOESN'T IMMUNIzE.
...From the first infection till disease
-brenEs out requires about eleven days
Since . few days are required for
tie spores to be blown about, alight-
ing On other leaf surfaces, we may say
that the period Of incubation is about
two weeks. This disease is not like
measles or smallpox. as 1t does not i'm.
munize the parent. but each spore can
make new infection on the plant on
which it grew or on another plant.
There is strong suspicion that these
minute spores can ride on dust particles
for long distances. But the notion that
they live on seeds Of wheat, as do the
spores Of sinking smut. is erroneous.
Since rust can multiply every two
weeks, if the spores are supplied with

or two more people on some occasion
than there was crowded between the
walls last Friday evening but we doubt
it, and somewhere between fifty to
seventy-five were compelled to stand
up, and standing room was at premi
um. This condition could not be
avoided owing to the size Of the hall
and supreme desire to hear Canton's
favorite musical organization, which
grows in popularity from year to year,
Next year it will take the Assembly
Auditorium to hold all those who will
want to enjoy the musical presented by
the Wendt Orchestra.
Most Of that big audience was
seated when the curtain went up, but
the late ones, and there are always late
ones, kept coming all through the first
part, much to the annoyance of those
willing to wait five minutes for
the opening number,
The opening number was BY the or

this prediction, if thus he communed

gave ample proof that the orchestra. as

during the past year or since their
last concert in the same place.
The encore brought one of Sousa's

John Brown on Razorbacks.

John Brown. the big, modest, genial
farmer from Dayton Hall, was in town
the other day, and we talked about
corn worth $11 an ear and corn worth
50 an ear and other things along the seed
corn line. We remarked that John
wouldn't raise razorbacked hog when
he could raise big Poland Chinas.
Well, said John, that depends on
where you live. If you lived down IN
Texas you would likely raise the razor
backs" and he smiled one Of those
Day ton township smiles the ladies ad-
mire 80 much.
We told him that we could see no
reason for any man raising razorbacks
in preference to big fat Polands.
"A friend Of mine from Nebraska, ?
said John, shipped some fine Polands
downto Texas for big competitive
hog show. When the judges got
through all kinds OF razoroacks had
blue ribbons and the Nebraska Polands
were apparently without merit or a
friend. The Nebraska man was hot
and he raised Ned generally and want
ed TO lick all the judges. and demanded
an explanation. One of the judges
said to him"
''Say. stranger, you don't seem to
understand the situation. Up in your
country, your big fat, short.legged
critters are all right, but they would

The Nebraskan saw the point. We
didn't discuss the corn question any
farther with John at that time.

water, from rain or dews for several
hours. to enable them to germinate, a
season favorable to rust causes 1t to
multiply in sufficient quantity. to over
whelm the wheat plant.
Last year supplied the rain or dews
about every week to germinate the
new crop Of disease spores. The rust
multiplied probably ten-fold. every
generation. and by harvest time simply
overwhelm the wheat plants, just as
tubercular germs become 90 numerous
in the last stages Of that disease. that
the patient is overcome. In many ways
the yellow plague on wheat is like the
white plague in man.
''In 1905 IL is likely that there will
be periods several weeks long in which
there will not be sufficient moisture on
the leaves Of wheat and oate to enable
the rust spores to germiaste. thus pre-.
venting recurrence Of last years rust
scourge. Just how the pest lives over
winrer and gets started on young wheat
plants is not determined. The infec-
ton may blow from the south. from re-
gions where 1t lives on winter wheat,
tho it is probable that some spores are
on plants other than wheat. With good
seed. the chances are evidently nearly
as good as usual for . crop of wheat.
RUST RESISTING VARIETIES.
THE heavy grains which may be
graded out of rusted wheat, make good
seed. No doubt, as Professor Bolley
has suggested, part Of these heavy kerr
nels are from plants resistant to rust,
and therefore are somewhat especially
bred for country subject to this disease.
Certainly, the new fife and blue.stem
varieties Minnesota No 1853 and Min.
nesota No. 169, bred by the Minnesota
and North Dakota experiment stations
in cooperation ARE somewhat rust re-
sistant. This is proved by the fact
these varieties yield 20 per cent
more than the wheat they are displac.
ing, in years Of much rust, as we'll as
In years Of little rust.
IF these statements are true, the
farmers, dealers and millers should st
once recognize fully their economic
Importance and act accordingly. "

tain any such vain hope. This conflict
will be one one Of the most severe that
has ever been waged in the United
States. It will not be won this year or
next year. We make advances, gain
some strong positions, but the battle is
only fairly on. The system in Wall
street which controls all our Internal
ional highways will not give up it's
power for evil after one battle or two.
1t will fight until the system is broken
up. and may bring good deal of fina.
ncial disturbance when it goes to pieces;
but it must go to pieces or the country
will 70 to pieces.
The danger now is that the country
will again be deceived by laws which
on their face look all right, but conceal
a little joker which will render entirely
worthless the law itself. When con-
gressmen who have heretofore refused
to state where they stand get busy in
framing legislation which they profess
to believe will carry out the plans Of
the president, it is time for every man
to be on his guard. Wallaces' Farmer.
