Probably no other object. great or

bilities in it's relation to mankind than
a grain of wheat-a tiny seed which

would result if this grain, with its
fellows throughout the world, were
by some unforeseen chance to Chain
up the life principle within itself-if,
in other words. termination were to
, be arrested for a single year. The
result to mankind would be appalling,
Not only would millions of our fellow
creatures be brought to the verge of
starvation, but the whole fabric of
civilization would be shaken to its
foundations. That this calamity is
averted year by year is only in
limited sense the outcome of mans
activities. True. he prepares the soil
and watches long and patiently for
the harvest. But with the actual la
Dor of birth he has no concern. Ma
ture alone holds the key and we can
only stand and marvel as We behold
the door of life revolving upon it's
hinges.
Probably most people imagine THAI
wheat grows in a haphazard manner
This. however, is not at all the case.
termination proceeds along a prede-
ter,nined course-One event succeed

sion-and at the present moment ger
mination is taking place over thou
sands of acres. Sachs experiments
tend to show that wheat begins to
grow below five degrees centigrade-
say at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The first sign of life within the grain
is the splitting of the outer skin which
covers the embryo. e.. the slight
prominence at one end of the seed.
