cross-ser,iliza,ion of Cereals.

Within recent years new varieties
OF .-heat have been produced by cross
fertilizins. Most of the varieties OF
wheat produced by Nature have been
produced by cross-fertilizaiion acci-
denily obtained. 1t has taken Nature
a long time 10 produce q few good
varieties Our scientists who have
taken hold of the matter by polleulz-
lng varieties with a pollen from other
strong varieties. have been able 10
Outsirip Nature in the work Of produc-
ing good varieties. The evolution OF
the wheat plant is thus taken out OF
the domain Of chance and introduced
into the domain OF science. Under the
old regime a good variety was more
likely 10 be pollenized by poor yari-
e;y than otherwise. because poor Vari-
eties are more numerous than good
varieties. Man. however, i able 10
combine the good qualities OF the
strongest cereals and by selecting the
best OF their progeny get immediate
results There are to-day forty Or
CITY varieties Of wheat that have been
thus created. Such varieties have
longer heads. heavier grain ane pro
duee larger yields per acre than the
old varieties and are al the same time
better able 10 stand adverse condition.
Within the next twenty-five years We
shall see the science Of wheat growing
1eYelop greatly, with the result OF
more fully using the land devoted to
wheat growing. Hard wheats will be
evolved IoT use on the fsIni-arfd lands.

of the day, Hon. H. w. Byers
but before he began his speech
"America" was sung by school

pleasant feature. Mr.. Byers'
speech was full of good ideas
and patriotic utterances and
was listened to by a large audi

their applause. Miss Padel

were read by Mrs. Fensler, B..
A. Divelbess and G. H. Long,
man. Club adjourned to at
tend to interesting duties in
the dining room. Afternoon
the club again settled down to
business and selections were
read by Mrs. Longman and F.
F. Beebee. Instrumental
music by Miss Lee, recitations
were given by Mary and Carrie
Bateman and Fay Howard,
Mary Bateman did some
whistling which was very much
enjoyed by all present. 1t was
thought that stove pipe enamel
should be applied at long inter-
walls to sides of cook stoves but
the enamel should not be put
on the top Of the stove as it
will not endure intense heat.
The fact that some farmers are
adding to their acreage and
others emigrating to other
countries, was thought to ac-
count for decrease in number
of farms and population in Iowa
A good many answers were
given to the general question
as to "What is the Greatest
Danger that Threatens the
United States and the World"
The most serious danger was
largely laid to the abuse of
money power. immigration,
emigration, intemperance and
saloon question. Questions for
next meeting:
J.. WHAT'S a balanced ration?
Discussion opened by j. H..
Longman.
2. Which is more desirable,
good character or good clothes?

Yesterday was the most per-
feet, quiet, and restful Memoir
ial day celebrated in Missouri
Valley for some time. Even
the elements seemed to be in
happy accord with the memoir
able day, and the blue sky
seemed to accentuate the spirit
of respectful reverence so uni
versally evident throughout the
city. After the unpleasant
weather of the past few days,
yesterday seemed all the more
beautiful.
In the morning the cemetery
was the scene of activity, ard
people in civil life We'd with
each other in strewing flowers
upon the graves of relatives
and friends.
At 10 o'clock the members of
the G. A. R. and w. R. C. met
at their hall and formed into a
a procession. At the head of
| the column was the marshal of
the day, followed by Bugler
Byers, assisted by Messrs Spaf--
ard and Kelsey, after which
came the drum corps and Span
ish-American veterans and the
/ G. A. R. in a body. Then came
the school children carrying
flags and their faces shining
with pride and enthusiasm.
4 The w. r. G. were conveyed to
the cemetery in carriages.
On arrival at Rose Hill the
usual G. A. R. services were
rendered and the graves of tie
veterans of the late war decor
ated a confederate grave was
also remembered and this shows
that the old wounds are healed
and that there is but one flag
in the United States-the stars
and stripes. Many and beauti-
full were the flowers used for
decorations yesterday and it is
an assured fact that nothing
more could have been desired
to have made the day more
successful.
The services in the afternoon
were held at the opera house as
scheduled. They commenced
at 2 o'clock with the usual G.
A. R. services, after which var
ious musical numbers were
rendered. A quartette, con-
sisting Of we'll known Missouri
Valley young men, rendered a
selection which was appropriate
and which was so much enjoyed
that they were recalled and re-
sponded to an encore. Mr.. w,

use of cheap and heavily per-
