NEW TYPE OF WHEAT,
a Cross Between Fife and Ladoga
Which Promises Increased Yields.

MjlncaIols. Mimi. Feb. 1G.-After
eleven years Of continuous experiment.
ing til" Government Agricultural EX-
,Ivrinie!: Station at -. Anthony Park,
a suburb, mas produced a new type ol
spring wheat that promises greatly in
creased yields. Information concerning
it is bein; sent to all farmers III the
Northwest 50 they may benefit by it
next spring.
Officially, the new type of wheat is
known as NO. 49," The original seed
from which il was produced was OBJ
tanned from Professor William Saun-
dcrS OF ottawa, Canada, in 1895. Ii
WAS hmm. diately sown in the field test
plots at the station and has remained
there under various treatments ever
since. Tie wheat resulting is Il cross
between white fire ana Ladoga. the
crossing having been effected after
many combination tests. LadoGa is Il

its early maturing quality. White iif"
is one Of the common varieties in The
Canadian wheat belt.

inclined to stool extensively. The grain

T he color of the grain is Il deep amber

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 1.-THE second

burned-out heart of the city has not

of 500. 900. COO but an additional $780,
600 OOD is being expended in improve
ments throughout the city. The plans
and undertakings which have been
consunmated. or which are proposed,
are estimated to aggregate an eXpendi-

merchants and property owners con-
tribute about $l2o,000,O 900, public cor
porations S21.000 600, and tie people
generally $5o0G0, 0G0. only 13S lots in
the new district are vacant. and the

mated 1T SO. 6Go 400. or about $1,000 600
more than the assessed value of all the

tended 10 all sections Of the city to a

Improving Missouri Corn,

E.E. Lsughln, Of Rich Hill, writes
Rural Worli:
We are trying to make = type on
corn that will sait the entire state,
that will be as standard as Poland
China or Jersey hogs, as Shorthorn
or Jersey cattle This is, and will be
Of imaanse vnlre to the corn-sro#'
srs OF Missouri.
OF course, this does not bar future
sn,erprising corn breeders, who may
develop a peculiar variety. But to
start with, three white and three vel.
low types win suffice. They should
avecharscteristics peculiar to them
selvee. So that In case OF storm or
pestilence or unforeseen destruction,
we will not have to send TO some ott
or state for seed corn that is not &C.
climated.
How can this he done by the prog
ressive farmers Of Missouri. Meet at
the Agricultural College January 0,
1906. and discuss this and related
subjects.
The advertised seed corn breeders
OF Missouri W, r. very lew three years
ago, bat last year there we're enough
to make quite showing.
But before advertising get the seed
OF the right kind OF known character
istlcs, for it is hard to push a new
variety and new scotsman. There
Is an open field in Missouri for good
seed that has a reputation Ifyou
wish to make speciality OF seed corn,
follow the Missouri Corn Growers
Association the next year and get
the bulletins that are published.
Corn Is most interesting plant
when we once take up It's study, and
there Is so much still to learn that
each year new things are coming.
When we learn all We can one year,
the next adds to this know ledge, and
the progress among the common
farmers ia wonderful. For example,
farmers husk corn day in and day
out, tearing shucks loose from the
ear, not thinking how the shuck forms
around the ear. Many never think
why silks are on the ear, not know
ing they were very essential in the
fertilization of the kernel at one time
in the life Of the plant. Not one In
many can tell at what place the silk
attaches 10 the kernel. Neither do
they think that by breeding, the
character Of the plant has been for
one ear, while on each Joint the fur
row has rudimentary ear, bred dor
msnt by selection. We can look at
the blades and study there lesson
in fodder production.
Corn breeding is In its infancy In
Missouri. Many are ready and will
ing to learn more and carry home to
the field or feed lot the motto OF the
Missouri Corn: Increase the yild, i'm
prove the quality.
