About Seed Wheat.

Z The following is taken from
the session laws of 1907 and
should be of interest to our farm
ers. The breeding up of wheat
varities and the introduction of
new kinds is something which
should attract the attention of
the Kansas farmer. A change of
the kind of wheat often results
in good crop and the conditions
should be studied. Read the
following article carefully and
then experiment a little during
the coming year:
gents of the State Agriculture
College, located at Manhattan,
Kan, shall thoroughly investi-
gate the quality of seed wheat
found in Europe or elsewhere,
especially adapted to and desira-
bic for sowing in Kansas, and if
a satisfactory quality is found,
they shall notify the board of
county commissioners of the sew
eral counties in the state of Kan

and quantity can be purchased,
and give the probable cost per

the state

ture College, and will be for sale

thereof, stating what such cost
will probably be-, and that all
