Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Last Saturday evening occurred a
pleasant social event when Mr.. and
Mrs. N. B. Wheeler received about
one hundred and twenty-five invited
guests at the Strother House to help
them celebrate their golden wedding
anniversary. Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler
looked very youthful at the end of fif-
ty years of married life. The bride
looked charming in gown of wisteria
satin and the groom wore conventional
black.
Mrs. C. C. O'Malley sang 1.-The Last
Rose of Summer" and Killarney" in
her usual pleasing style. An elegant
lunch was served in the dining room.
The table decorations were ferns and
fifty beautiful brides roses which were
sent by an friend, Mr.. Williams, from
Cleveland, Ohio.
The gifts were beautiful and costly
and spoke of the regard in which Mr..
and Mrs. Wheeler are held. The guests
departed at late hour wishing their
hosts many more years of married life.

With the advent of good weather,
interest in the Piano Contest is COM
mencing to boom, and the vote of the
six leading contestants has grown quite
perceptibly since the last count was
published. While the leaders are
making great strides. their positions
remain unchanged, a somewhat remark
able feature which leads to the belief
that as the contest grows older the
rivalry and excitement will proportion
ally increase, and that it is anybody s
race up to the time the last ballot is
deposited.
All of the girls tell us that they have
promises of many votes, and in some
cases the promises are so old that the
girls are rather fearful that the
promises are forgotten. Ifyou, reader,
are among the number who have
promised to help some girl, let this be
memory-gigger. Don't put it off,
but give her your money to-day. 1t
means much to her and is matter of
no Inconvenience to you.
Remember that the contest for the
gold watch closes Saturday of this
week, and back subscription money
does the work. This is the week to
help your little girl friend win fine
watch.
1t is unnecessary for us to tell the
girls to hustle for they are doing it.

IMPROVING THE OATS CROP
English Expert Tells Four Interesting Steps of Plant Breeding That
Have Increased the Yield. =,

pies of breeding can greatly improve
our farm crops. Plant breeding is
not matter of mystery but merely
an intense application of the prin-
ciples that govern plant life.
Contrary to the former teaching of
botanists, John Carton. after years
of experiments to produce new varie-
ties. discovered that Standardization
is the common rule among cereals
(corn being an exception. The mic
rOscope clearly revealed that the or
gans of propagation are enclosed in
an air-tight cell which remains sealed
until the process of fertilization is
complete. This shows that the pol
len carried from one plant to an
other by the wind insects or other
forces. never reaches the female part
of the flower until long after fertili-
cation has taken place, and the EN-
bryo plant is well along in it's de-
velopment.
After this discovery successful
crossing was possible. Now plants
are more easily changed to any de-
sired type by breeding than are ami
mails. and once we fix the type in ce-
reals, nature with her immutable law
of Standardization preserves that
type in it's integrity.
In plant improvement simple Selec-
ton or the preserving of varieties
that seem superior, is the first meth
cd employed
Regeneration is cross breeding which
does not upset the true character of
the plant, as the crossing of a variety
grown under hardy conditions or SUI
perior environment with the same
variety grown under less favorable
conditions. This is on the same prin-
ciple as improving herd of Short
horn cattle by using sire of out
, blood relation but so far removed
, that his use is practically an out
cross. The regenerated Swedish Sc
| lect oat was produced by mating an
American Swedish select oat with a
superior Swedish oat grown under
more favorable environment, as of
New Zealand or Europe.
IN public trials the regenerated
breeds have out yielded all the orig
inal varieties. The Canadian report
shows 20 per cent increase; 13 tests
by the Irish bureau of agriculture, an
increase of 30 per cent; similar trials
in England and Scotland, AZ to 90
per cent.
Simple and Composite Crossing.
The third method is simple cross
ing of distinct varieties, as the mat
ing of Swedish select oat with the
Kherson, to blend the desirable char

T. r. Carton of Cheshire, England
explained what the breeding of oats
means and does, as based upon the ex
perience of his family. The follow
ing ideas are taken from his talk:
We suffer great loss every year by
not having better seed and better
farm plants. Practically all the pure
breeds of livestock have descended
from mixed ancestry by skillful
crossing of distinctly different ami
mails to fuse and establish the desira-
BILE points of each parent into one
