ison with other rows as well as with
the standard varieties, and the results
recorded.
The third generation is grown in II.
foot rows from the seed of all Of the
second generation rows selected, and
the results Of this year should point out
the best yielding strains. 1t Is advised
that Of few Of the very best and
highest yielding strains somewhat
larger plants be grown this year to in
crease the seed for more extensive
planting In the fourth generation. A
few of the best yielding strains
should be saved from this years crop
for more extensive trials In the fifth
year.
For the fourth generation 17-foot
test rows are planted with the strains
retained from the third generation and
these are compared with some stand
ard variety. II possible, several test
rows Of the standard varieties should
be grown in different parts of the test
plat. At maturity the grain Of each
test row is harvested and weighed sep.
arately, as heretofore, and the yield
records carefully made and preserved.
BY comparing the yields Of the test
rows and increase-plats Of each strain
for the three years with each other
and with the yields of the standard va
rieties the highest yielding strains to
be retained for extensive trial may
readily be determined.
T. r.. Carton Of England says In
reference to his experiments In cross
breeding of wheat that valuable breed
ing plants have been found In
some of the Indigenous or wild types
of Russian wheats, which while possess
ing some defects we're likewise quite
superior in other points Of merit. For
instance, the tenacity Of cEaff is SO
marked and the brittleness at the base
of the. grain SO great (speltz wheats
break off when bent) that the grain
cannot be threshed out by any mechan.
ical operation. On the other hand,
they are extremely early, stiff in the
straw, and possess excellent glutinous
properties. Consequently these types
have been used as parents In breeding
to embody more tenacity in the chafi
of cultivated wheats. thereby making
the new varieties more strongly storm
proof. Some OF the progeny Of crosses
of the speltz wheats with ordinary
types have been left In the fields siz
weeks after ripening without loss ol
grain. Another result Is wheat seven
to ten days earlier than early English
cultivated types, and possessing q
higher percentage of gluten.

some standard variety for comparison.
At the beginning of the ripening pc
riod the season Of maturing Of the diff
ferent rows must be observed to de.
termine their relative earliness or late
ness, and when fully ripe the rows
should be compared with each other
and with the rows of standard vari.
eties. Only those rows apparently
ranking high in yield, free from or
least affected by disease, such as rust
Or smut, showing no tendency to lodg-
ing or shattering, and those indicating
the greatest hardness should be Sc
,ected for further propagation. After
the superior rows have been chosen
each row must be examined for uni
formity of type and all plants not con
forming to the general type pulled Out
and discarded. The grain or seed OF
each row is harvested and kept sep
arately and given the number Of the
individual plant first selected. The
record of yield, earliness, hardness
ETC., Of each number must be care
fully preserved.

generation selections is used for the

SUGGESTIONS FOR PLANT
BREEDING ON THE FARM
Practical Method by Which Quality
Can he Improved.

Unlike the corn plant, wheat is nor
maliy self-fertilized, almost no cross
ing occurring naturally, and for this
reason the individuals or plats grown
need not be isolated as in corn breed
ing. Dr. II. j. Webber Of Cornell uni
versity considers It possible that with
out resorting to the generally COM
plex methods OF hybridization and Sc
lection farmers may produce valuable
varieties and also improve the yield
Of their own crop. The methods by
which this may be accomplished are:
QD The selection of chance variations
or sports and the propagation from
them of improved varieties; CD the
systematic selection Of the best yield
Ing plants from well-known race to
secure better yielding strains; and (3)
the selection of large heads for seed
The search for promising plants
should be begun as soon as the crop
shows mature size of heads, and when
such plants are located they should be
marked SO that the seed may ha
secured when ripe. The seed fro
each selected plant should be kept sep
arate and weighed, II the facilities are
at hand, in order that comparisons
may be made later on. Each one of
these plants, which are the first gen.
GRAFTON selections, should be given a
number and briefly described.
1t is recommended that the seed OF
each plant be planted separately in q
short row on a clean and well-tilled
piece Of ground. These rows may be
placed one foot apart and about. every
twentieth row should be planted with

PEARL HARBOR
EXCURSION

The big opening of the Watching sea-
son and excursion to Pearl Harbor is
beginning to attract the attention of
all the water-dogs and a whole lot of
other people as well. The committee in
charge of the affair is making the very
best of arrangements and it looks as
though the event would be as smoothly
run as it will be popular
Charles Crane will have charge of
the ticket selling and the booking will
be done at the Advertiser office where
tickets will be on sale within few
days. The committee has arranged so
that different tickets will be sold for
each craft. The capacity of the Mokolii
and Luka will be ascertained and those
who go on the excursion will have the
choice Of which vessel they go on, pro-
vided they come in early enough for
their tickets.
In addition to these two craft, which
have been chartered by the Hawaii
Yacht Club. many of the yachts will
sail down to Pearl Harbor and those
who prefer sail to going on steamer
or yacht under tow, will be accommo
dated on the sailing boats.
The date of the excursion is May
and it is a date to remember. This is
unique affair, one of the finest ever
arranged in Honolulu and will appeal tt
hundreds of people who have never had
the opportunity to make the wonderful
trip by water to Pearl Harbor,
