Use of Substitutes.

When men like James j. Hill raise
the question about the destruction of
natural resources of the country there
are always facts with which they are
answered. Undoubtedly this country
has played a riotous game with it's
timber supply. 1t is playing it today
with its coal and iron supplies. No
body pretends these natural resources
are not being put to a good use, but
the admitted facts are that they are
being used up at a rapid rate. The
indications might point to a famine of
these things in the -.near future if we
were not constantly developing new
substitutes for them. The Harvesting
OF the waters of the rivers to generate
electricity tends to relieve the pres
sure upon the coal. Nature and the
inventive genius of man appear to
have discounted the drafts upon lum-
Der and iron in the development of
the use of cement. Cement and con-
crete have already become a valuable
ally of the builder. A quarter Of cen
tury ago the output of cement in this
country was about $4,000 barrels.
Last year it was 3 5000, 900 barrels.
1t is used to reinforce iron and steel
in the heaviest construction. 1t is
worked up into blocks for the most
ornamental, light construction. The
age of the wall run out of a spout is
here. The age of poured house is al
most upon us. The inventive genius
of man has overcome numerous OBJ
Stacles in the way of the use of
cement. Under his intelligence it
has yielded to treatment until the
obstacles to its use have one by one
disappeared. Air spaces have made
it sanitary. The effects of frost and
sudden changes of temperature have
been overcome. 1t is today a practi-
cal building material. Tomorrow it
may be a favorite building material.
Its use is evidence of the fact that
reforestation is practical tho slow, for
builders Of the next generation will
not need to use expensive stone or
scarce wood for their outside walls.
The wood they can reserve for inter-
ior work and the replanted forests
will do all that is necessary.

That never wear a frown:
Her smile is sad, yet. sweetly sad.
A rare. sweet smile to make you glad.
She dances lightly down the year
Toward the cold and snow,
Through golden fields tina soon grow sere.

With laughter in her roguish eyes.

Origin of

1t may be interesting to u read
erS to know the origin of the popular
wheats. The Mediterranean wheatS
were imported from the islands in
the Mediterranean Sea about 1919.
We remember very well their first
introduction on u home farm in
Pennsylvania. The wheat nudge had
destroyed the wheat crop-partially
one year and wholly the next. The
remedy adopted was a good imported
Mediterranean wheat which ripened
from a week to ten days earlier than
the blue stem, then in common use,
n hence was too early for the
nudge. We distinctly remember that
the first year it was harvested June
25th. This wheat, as it became accli-
mated, grew later In ripening. 1t is
still popular in ONE sections Of the
country and is M parent of several
crosses, such as the Delhi editer-
ranean and FultZ- Mediterranean.
The Fife wheat was originated by
David Fife of Ontario, who bought a
small quantity of seed wheat from
Scotland that had been obtained from
a cargo Of wheat direct from the
DantZic region, Russia. He sOwed it
as spring wheat, but the variety being
a winter wheat, only three heads ma
tured. From these came the famous
Fife wheat of the northwest. The
Turkey Red winter wheat came from
Russia twenty-five years ago and has
been worth millions of dollars t o the
wheat growers of the west. In 1865
Mr.. Garsett ClawSon selected a few
heads from the FultZ wheat, from
which came the Clawson. The Fultz
again was originated by Abraham
Fultz, by selecting special heads from
a field of unknown variety in LancaS-
ter county, Pennsylvania. These two
varieties came from selection by in
telligent, progressive farmers, and
show what "a be done by this simple
process If farmers will at the present
time carefully study their wheat
fields and select the best heads for
the breeding patch from which Is to
De taken the seed for the main field
of next year. In other words, wheat
can be bred precisely the same way
that many farmers are now breeding
corn. Many of the recent wheats are
crosses which require special skill and
care, and is a work for the expert
ment station rather than the farmer.
For example, the Red Clawson is a
cross between the White Clawson and
Golden Cross. Early Genesee Giant
is the composite of several crosses.
! We have no doubt that in a few years
to come the experiment stations will
develop a number Of superior varieties
OF wheat, but in the meantime the
farmer who will study his wheat
fields, adopt a breeding plot method,
using the very best heads that he can
find in a ten-acre field, will So greatly
improve his own variety of wheat
that it will become almost a distinct
type, and add very greatly to his pro-
fits as a wheat grower. He will dc
much if he will sow only the larger
grains Of corn or good quality OF
wheat.-Wallaces' Farmer.
