A New Wheat.
Prof. w. G. Palmer.

A new wheat may have large
possibilities. 1t is easily posi-
BILE that it can yield 3 to 5 BUSH
els more per acre than the
ordinary kinds. Three bushels
would mean an increase of
twenty five million bushels for
North Dakota for just one year
for ten years two hundred
and fifty million bushels. An
increase of 8 bushels per acre
would result in an increase of
one million bushels for the
state per year.
This improved quality once
secured becomes heritage for
future generations. The most
valuable material possession of
civilized men is the strains of
lltivated plants and domestic
animals.
The securing of the new
wheat is long and tedious
process. There are two meth
ods-selection and breeding. A
com bination of the two is usual.
After selecting the strains to
be used in the improvement a
great many crosses are made.
Wheat being self fetilized it is
an easy matter to control the
crossing. The resulting wheat
is carefully kept and planted
IN small plots the next year.
The plant breeder anxiously
watches the appearance of the
new plants. Careful notes are
kept of every imaginable thing
in connection with its growth.
Among these small plants may
be the progenitor of wheat
thatwill add twenty five million
dollars or more to the North
Dakota farmers income with
out any additional labor except
that required in threshing and
marketing the extra bushels
Who is there that handles more
vital forces?
Five years the new wheat is
tried out on a plot planted to
100 plants. They are then
planted on a 1 100 acre increase
plot, from that to a 100 acre
plot and this trial again lasts
five years. Those that have
failed to show improvement are
now discarded and the promis.
ing ones carried to larger plots
for increase. The new wheat
is then tried cut at the Eve sub
stations. The next trial comes
on the "a demonstration farms.
From these the new wheat is
distributed to the formers, to

SIZE OF THE FEET.

Paris just now is having wave of interest in human feet. Two scien- lists Marie and MacAuliffe, recently advanced the observation that the Sanest type of men had the biggest feet, while the sane type of women had the smaller feet Which had started the boulevardiers to scanning the feet of pedestrians
 Out of 100 normal men these scien lists have asserted that only 1S have small feet. while of 100 insane men only 4 have large feet These pro portions for women are almost the reverse. Out of loo sane women only 23 have large feet. while of 100 in sane women lS nave small feet On the male side of the proposition the American-long having looked upon Lincoln as one of the sanest. sagest of American statesmen-proba bably will agree with the French scientists Chicago Tribune

BY JOHNNY HAYES.


I won the Olympic Marathon In
England in 1908 because I haG
trained for 1t ever since / was 6
kid; because every leisure moment
and all of my energy during my
boyhood were devoted to working
up to that end.
When a boy in knicker-
bockers the story of the sol
dier of Marathon filled me
with an ambition to duplicate
the feat in record time. So i
set about training for it. And
the training carried through
years of Encouragement and |,
hard, tedious work, but kept
on plugging. r5la
In the elimination races at Bos-
ton, to decide who would repre-
sent the United States In the Eng
lish marathon race, finished sec
ond to Morrissey. He beat me by
only a few seconds and my squirt
during the last 500 yards of the
race caused the committee to take
me to Europe. FfRt
When the starting gun was fired
for the Olympic marathon I knew
l was in the race of my life,
against the best distance runners
in the world. And l realized. my
brains, as well as my legs, must
be used to bring victory.
l started at an easy trot and
maintained the pace for more
than ten miles. Other rum
ners were passing me con-
stantly, but this didn't worry
me; i'm fact 1 was glad, be-
cause experience had taught
me that the man who lays
back i'm a long race is the man
who has the speed and
strength at the finish.
Around the 18th mile l began
to go a bit faster and just as
was finishing the 10th mile /
found Longboat had dropped out.
knew l had passed other run
ners, but it was not until l was
In the twenties that my trainers
along the route tipped me that I
was third. Dorando was leading
me by a wide margin, closely fol-
lowed by Hefferon, the African
runner.
Then l began to speed 1t up.
The easy pace I had maintained
hadn't tired me and there seemed
to be a lot of power in my legs.
Just before 1 arrived in sight of
the enclosure l spotted Hefferon
and went a bit faster. l passed
him as / was going into the
stadium.
DOrando was perhaps 200
yards ahead of me as I started
on the last lap. saw he
was webbing and knew the
terrific pace he had been set
ting all the way was telling on
him. pulled myself together
for the last squirt and tore
along over the track.

How Won Tf1E OINrpIC flARATf1oN


(When Johnny Hayes won the
Marathon race in London, at the
great Olympic games of 1908, he
captured the blue ribbon of the
athletic world for the United
States. The sensational finish of
that race will never be forgotten.
Hayes won because he had the
speed, courage and stamina. In
his own story. the plucky little
runner tells the Times readers that
he realized his life ambition that
day in the stadium. He had train
ed himself to win this event, from
boyhood, and the ability to "stick-
to-it" of his younger days stood
him in stead when he made his
squirt in the London stadium. His
story contains great lesson for
the Times boys.-Editor.) ~

I was closing the gap rapidly
when Dorando staggered and fell.
His trainers picked him up and
carried him across the line, rs or
100 yards ahead of me.
The Judges disqualified Dorando
because he was helped across the
line and gave me the victory. And
l certainly was glad; partly be-
cause l had achieved the greatest
ambition of my boyhod and partly
because l won for America the
biggest event of the meet.
