a genuine revival of business in the
very early future.
One of the largest dealers in real
estate in Hattiesburg, and who also

real estate in the last ten days than
for nearly two years past.
Business generally is improving in

that business has improved forty per
cent over what it was last year at tbs
time and that within ninety days he
expected to see business as good as
it ever was.

RUsT-PROOF WHEAT
Scientists in Race to Grow Per-
feet Grain of All Kinds.
Cambridge School Produces Variety
That Resists Disease and Is Very
strong-French Hybridizers
Secure Heavy Yield.

London--Scientific men at Cam
bridge who are devoting themselves
to agricultural research are on the
eve of establishing proud claim
made a year ago. They said that they
would increase the value of wheat
crops by $40 al acre.
But in the race for the perfect
grain--wheat, barley and oats-they
are being pressed hard by other dis
coverers who are total disbelievers in
the Cambridge methods, and the race
for the perfect grain under the diff
ferent methods is becoming exciting.
The chief competitors of Mr.. Biffen,
Mr.. Punnett and the Cambridge school
are M. Vilmorin of Paris, Mr.. Burbank
who is called the California wizard
and John Carton Of Warrington.
John Carton and Mr. Burbank have
exchanged letters, and agree that the
making of the perfect grain is more
or less a fluke. Mr.. Carton, for ex
ample, produced an oat which in
creased the yield by ten to 20 pei
cent, and grew large grain by using
the wild oat, which has the smallest
of all grain and was thought to be
useless.
Mr.. Biffen, on the other hand, works
wholly by system, and has two tri
umphs to his credit. He has produced
a wheat absolutely proof against rust
which Is the most prevalent of whea
diseases, and he has been able, by fol
lowing the law of Mendel, to fix thes,
new sorts in two or three years wher,
previously the work took eight or ten

science all over the world.
The present position in the rae
is this, that the Cambridge school ha
produced grains which resist diseas
and are very "strong'-that is, ar
good for milling. The French hybr
offers and Mr.. Carton have produce
grains remarkable for heavy yielt
The achievement which is yet I
come is the joining together of tn
disease resisters and the heavy yiel(
