way the puzzling fact that two indi-

different results, finds ready expla-

no guide whatever as to purity Of
breed, and the introduction of an ap-
parently pure individual may often be
traced as the starting point of sport
ing or reversion in unimpeachable
hocks and herds. With these two
coses before us we can piece together
the full story of this particular cross
In the illustration the immediate de-
scendants Of the hybrids are seen to
be either lax, intermediate, or dense,
with regard to ear shape, and each of
these types is represented by beard
less or bearded individuals. Two of
them resemble the parent varieties,
while the remaining four are distinct.
The question of moment to the practi.
cal breeder is whether these new
forms can be fixed. Those with the in.
termediate shape of ear may be at

POLLHY GRHIItS
The Chances of Combination.

owing to the fact that the individuals
produced from the union of lax-carry
ing and also from the union of dense
carrying reproductive cells, have not
the alternative characters present in
their constitutions, they breed true to
laxness or denseness The interme-
date formed by the union of the alter
native lax and dense characters can
not be fixed. We recognize, then, that
the intermediate shape is in this case
a distinguishing feature of those indi-
viduals carrying the two alternative
characters in their reproductive cells.
The mere fact that this can be recog-
nized at so early stage is one which
the sequel will show to be of great
value to the practical breeder
We are now in a position to consider
the inheritance of the bearded and
beardless condition, neglecting now
the question of whether individuals
are lax or dense or intermediate In
ear shape In the first cross the ears
bore no more beard than the beardless
parent. The beardless condition is
thus described as dominant" the
bearded as "recessive." The imme-
date descendants of this hybrid were
either beardless or bearded individ-
uals in the proportion of three OF the
former to one of the latter. No half
bearded individuals occurred in this
or in subsequent generations. The
mode of inheritance of this pair OF
features thus appears TO be very differ
ent to that OF the preceding pair, but
in reality the difference is slight.
Recalling the fact that the reproduc-
tive cells of the hybrid carry either
the beardless or bearded character, we
find that the possible combinations Of
the pollen grains and egg cells are:
(a) beardless and beardless, OBJ beard
less and bearded. or (c) vice versa,
and I'D bearded and bearded. The
combination OF gametes carrying the
beardless and bearded conditions (b

FRUIT ASSOCIATIONS

In speaking of the advantages that
may result from cooperative market
ing, r. W. RAIDER, secretary of the Ar
kansas Fruit Growers association, il.
Illustrates the matter by making a prac-
tical application of some of their ex.
periences. He says, for instance, SUD.
pose car of SIC crates sells for so
per crate; the gross receipts would
amount to $1,152; of this amount 90
per cent. is sent to the bank for the
credit of growers, per cent. is re-
tanned by the firm, and 3 per cent.
which amounts to $34.56, is refunded to
the association.
When cars are sold on the track
the association generally retains only
2 per cent. of the net returns. If
this rebate and discount of track sales
leaves a considerable balance in the
treasury after the expenses are paid
it is returned to the growers pro rata
giving them every advantage of econ.
omy in management. 1t is general
ly considered, Mr.. RAIDER SAYS. that
this is handling fruit as cheaply as
can be expected. and in addition il
is handled with much more care than
when shipped locally in small lots.

WILD CATS KILL HORSES.

Reports continue to come in
from the mountains of wild ami
mails attacking live stock on the
ranges. Two valuable horses
owned by Joe Ale, a rancher liv-
ing eight miles east of Dayton,
were killed by cougars last week.
The animals were killed in the
open and the remains -of=one of
them were found partially covered
by leaves and debris near the
house. Never in the history of the
settlement in this section of the
country have wildcats, lynx and
cougars been so numerous and
ferocious as this spring. Several
range cattle have been killed and
in one or two instances men have
been attacked.---Dayton Courier

intermediate and dense individuals in
the same proportions. Subsequent
generations tell precisely the same
story, and we have to recognize the
fact that the lax and dense types pro-
duced in the first generation raised
from the hybrid plant are, in spite of
their parentage, pure with regard to
these features.
The explanation of these phenomena
is based on the fact that the produc-
tive cells of the hybrid, in other words,
the egg cells and pollen grains, carry
either the lax or the dense character,
and not as perchance the outer form
Of the plant would suggest, blend of
the two. (In the case of wheat the
egg cells are fortified with the plants
own pollen.) We can show the chances
of combination of pollen grain and egg
cell diagramatically as follows, pre-
Stunning that an approximately equal
number of each carry either the lax or
dense character:
There are only four possible COM
dense and lax and dense and dense.
Lax meeting dense, or vice versa, we
know from the original cross, gives
intermediate, so that this generation
will consist of, on an average, one lax
individual to two with intermediate
ears to one with dense ears. Further,

once rejected as hopeless, leaving the
beardless dense and the bearded lax
types for further examination. The
recessive character, t. e., beardedness,
we have already seen, breeds true, lax
ness also breeds true, so that the com.
bination of laxness and beardedness
should be true from the moment of its
appearance. Many experiments have
proved this to be the case.

POOR WEATHER
 FOR STRAWBERRIES.
Heavy Rains Yesterday Interfere
 With Picking.

Just what effect the rain of Saturday and Sunday will have on the strawberry crop is not known, but that 1t has been of considerable damage all realize. One of the hardest rains of the season fell here Sunday night, but It ceased Monday morning for a short time and the growers decided to start their pickers. Rain soon began falling again, however, and at noon there was stlll steady downpour. The probabilities are that few more cars will be sent out this week II the weather clears up. Had 1t not been for the rain it Is likely that about ten more cars would have been sent out this week.
 The shipments since last re- port have been IS follows: Thursday ears, Friday } cars, Saturday 1 cars. Of these, six were loaded by the Shippers Union and four by the Farmers Union. Th1s makes a total of thirty-six cars for tile season up to Saturday. The ten cars load ed Thursday, Friday and Satur- day were sold on the track here at prices ranging from s2.o0 to S1.75.
 Johnson shipped one car of berries Sunday, making twenty one out of there up to date.

 One thing that impressed He, as it probably does every person from Arkansas who visits Okla homa, was the price of every thing. Property of all kinds seems to be inflated in value, but people are paying the prices ask ed without hesitation and when they get ready to sell there Is al- ways somebody ready to buy and the seller usually makes d profit on his investment.
 The liquor signs in Oklahoma look worn and weather ten. W hen Oklahoma was admitted to statehood one of the provisions of Congress was that no liquor should be sold within the state tor period of twenty years, we believe. This is said to have been done for the protection of the Indian residents. Many of the people over there object to it's being dry and claim that t is all injustice to impose such re- strictions simply for the protect ion of so small percentage of the population as the Indians. But they see no way to help them selves. Although Oklahoma IS elassed as d dry" state, every thing indicated that the man who wanted something to wet his whistle would not have to seek far to find 1t. In one town where the writer stopped, the first thing proposed by the clerk of the hotel was that we take something" Although the in- yitation was declined, 1t was ac- eepted by others, and while we do not know what they drank, when we see a man in Arkansas smack his lips as did those Okla homa fellows We can generally guess pretty close to what 1t means.
