Fife Wheat.

Years ago. about century, DaviC
Fife, Scotchman of 0tonabee, Ont.
sent to a friend in Glasgow for s
small bag of seed wheat to try in e
cleared patch of the backwoods. The
friend obtained some seed from o
vessel just in from Danzig. Unfortu-
nately 1t was fall wheat and reached
David Fife in the spring. Neverthe-
less David Fife sowed it in spring
One can guess how feverishly the
backwoods farmer watched for the
growth Of his experiment. Only three
wheat heads survived till the fall, but
those three wheat heads were entirely
free Of the rust that had ruined his
neighbor's crops, and those three heads
really represented new variety Of
wheat, fall wheat turned into a
spring wheat. David Fife treasured
the three heads and planted them in
spring. Such was the beginning Of
Fife wheat in America.-Agnes G. Laut
