Kansas are the hard xheats which
come from Russia, Turkey and the
/. Crimea. These wheats have beer
grown there for centuries BY the peas.
ants, who have no idea whatever Of
plant breeding. The strains which
come to us from them are therefore
the scrub wheats of those sections
which have slowly become aeclimat-
lied, and although they are still mixed
and unimproved are better suited
TO those and similar regions like our
own than even the improved wheats
from the more humid countries.
The fact that they are mixtures,
often including six or seven distinct
types, makes improvement by the sell
ection and isolation of the best of
these strains, practically certain. Out
OF 63l varieties collected by the bot
anical department from all parts of
the world, but mostly of the hard red
Turkey wheat type, only l35 or about
one-ffth, were apparently pure. The
other fOur-ffths contained from two
to seven types, which could be easily
separated by differences in very evil
dent characters. When we stop to
consider that there may be many diff
ferenees in yield and quality among
varieties which cannot be otherwise
distinguished, We realize that the mix
ture of good and bad in any ordinary
strain of scrub wheat is probably
much greater than the above investi-
cation would indicate. From some
of these mixed varieties the different
types were selected out and planted
side by side, with the result that some
yielded more than twice as much as
others. A few examples will serve
to impress this. Our variety No. 627
contained two sorts, one Of which
Y elded at the rate of eleven, the
other at the rate of twenty-five BUSH
els per acre. These two sorts we're in
about an equal mixture in the orig
lnal seed, so that had they been plant
ed without separation the yield would
have been an average of the two
yields, or about eighteen bushels tol
the acre. There would therefore be |
an advantage Of seven bushels to the
acre to be gained by selecting and
breeding out of this mixed lot the
less productive strains. In some
varities these digerences were even
more striking. For instance, variety
No. 493 had five distinct types in it,
which when selected out and planted
side by side gave the following COM
parative yields per acre: 16, 80, q

Build Up Drought and Rust-resist-
ant Strains.-In the case of drought
stricken or rust shriveled seed. if
there is any appreciable percentage
OF sound, plump grains still present,
1t is perhaps not best to discard the
whole lot. However, in this case the
tanning selection should be much
more severe. 1t will pay to blow out
nine tenths or more, if by this means
sound, plump grains can be secured
from an otherwise good variety of
wheat which has been badly infested
by rust or drought. In this way the
farmer may be able to build up a
much more hardy and disease-resist-
ant strain, for, barring irregularities
in the soil, the heavy and plump

must come from those plants which
are most resistant to drought and dis
ease, and were most vigorous and pro-
Quoted under the given conditions.
Even where Irregularities in the soil
would cause spots of the ordinary
wheat to produce sound grain, the
plump kernels from the remainder of
the field would increase the propor.
ton of the hardy plants and thus per-
improve the variety.

is just as much difference be-
tween the several breds of wheat as
there is between the different breeds
OF cattle; well bred wheat is as
much superior to scrub wheat as a
Holstein is to range COW for milk
production. But Kansas is not at the
present time, growing many we'll bred

reason for this is that the soft wheats

where the breeding of both plants
and animals has reached high state
Of development. The varieties which

innate, but it is the opinion Of the
writer that it amounts to no less than
million bushels Of wheat in the
state of Kansas every year.
There is no practical method of
treating wheat for rust, for the reason
that soon after the fungus has gained
entrance into the leaf it begins 70

which rupture the skin Of the leaf and
are blown to other plants which ara
Immediately affected. 1t is thus that
within a few weeks rust may spread
from single center Of infection over
an entire wheat field, and from ous
farm to another. When, too, we take
INTO consideration the dark-eolored
winter spores which are produced BY
the same rust fungus when The wheat
begins to die and which live over the
winter on the ground and stubble to
carry on the infection next wear: and
when We consider, moreover. that the
same rust attacks many of our wild
grasses, We realize that il would be
practically hopeless to try to get rid
OF the rust by planting clean seed or
trying to find uninfested land.
1t has been found however that
some varieties Of wheat are much
more rust resistant than Others, and
In fact, some individuals in the same
variety seem to resist the rust better
than Others. The hard Turkey and
Russian wheats are, as a rule, more
resistant than the soft wheats, and
wheats which mature early are mot
damaged so badly as are those which
mature later. The macaroni wheats
are less susceptible than the bread
wheats. 1t is most probable that we
will have to look to the plant breeder
for the greater part Of the solution Of
the rust problem. Some breeders, as
notably, Biffin in England and Cobb
IN Australia, claim to have succeeded
in building up some very rust resist.
ant strains for their respective coun-
tries, but since their varieties will not :
likely be suited to the soil and eli
matte conditions here we should best
look to breeders within our own sec
tlop for really practically results.
This matter has already been alluded
to in a former section concerning the
use of the tanning mill. II is the
opinion of the writer that our relief.
will come from the building up of
early rust resistant varieties from our
own hard Turkey wheats, and that The
selection by means Of the tanning
mill, or otherwise, Of the plump kerr
nels from resistant plants in badly
rusted fields will be the best and most
practical method Of beginning this
work.

SOME WHEAT PROBLEMS.
Breeding Wheat for Vitality and
Quality and to Resist Disease.
Plant Seeds Having Strong Vitality

Plant Seeds Having Strong Vitality
The farmer who plants seeds that
are poor on accounted insufficient
cleaning has committed the almost I'M
pardonable agricultural sin. Light,
immature and shriveled grains should
never be planted for The produce
weak, slowly developing and unpro-
ductive plants-plants which are
more likely TO succumb to winter
killing, drought and fungus or insect
attacks. When one stops to think,
the reason for this greater vigor and
hardness of plants which come from
the large, heavy and plump seeds, is
easy to understand, for they are
nounshed with the food that is stored
within the seed until they put forth
leaves well above the ground and
roots into the soil. Large seeds, with
large food supplies, have a better de-
veloped, more vigorous germ, and
better fed, take a frmer hold on the
ground, produce more and larger
leaves and tiller in the fall more than
plants from the smaller seeds. Such
vigorous plants live over winter and
resist the Hessian fly better, for if
the fly does kill one or more of the
tillers, there are others left to re-
produce the stool in the Spring. On
the other hand plants from small or
shriveled seeds, which produce only
one weak sprig in the fall, may be
completely killed by the presence of a
single Hess;an fly.
Use the Fanning-mill.-It is, how
ever, a very easy matter to improve
the quality of the seed wheat and at
the same time the yield per acre by
the use of the fanning-mill. Repeat
ed experiments at this Station, and at
Others, have shown that the yield NAV
be increased, by using only the large
seeds, from two to five bushels per
acre, and occasionally even more.
Many have found it profitable to so
set the mill as to blow out four-ffths
of the grain, thus saving the one
fifth which makes up the very best,
heaviest and largest grains for plant

ATHLETE A BACK NUMBER.
The Broad shouldered Mars Popular.
lily a. a Model for illustrators Past.

The very broad shouldered athlete
who has been the popular model for
illustrators whether they are making
clothing advertisements or pictures
for best sellers Is no longer the
mode. He has had his day, and the
man with more normal shoulders is
now preferred.
The padded out shoulders that
have been characteristic Of the ready
to wear clothing" said one OF the
illustrators, went into the discard
weeks ago and now they are sup
plying the inspiration for the comics
In the same way the man with thick
muscles and biceps is no longer In
demand among the men who make
the pictures for the young girls
books. He's a back number Of tho
most decided type.
THE popular figure IS slim all the
way up. 1t is not narrow shouldered,
but OF the measurement that the tail
ors call natural, which means that
the shoulders seem a little broader
than they really are. There is no
padding in coat. but the least bit
OF lining that carries the shoulder a
little out.
"Such is the shoulder style OF tho
present year. The hulk that looked
like a champagne bottle turned up
side down Ia thing OF the past.
Even on the beaches this summer
the new medium shouldered man is
the real thing in masculine beauty.
The broad shouldered idol Of form

he attempts to make himself look
narrower by the cut OF his bathing
