only accidental crossings or cross
breedings. The head of wheat that
grew up amongst its brethren and
became larger and different was for
merly thought to be a sudden mys-
terious mutation. but now il is GER
tain that most Of these so-called mu-
tations have resulted from a sport
i've wind or a sportiYe insect which
brought to the flower the fertilizing
pollen from a neighboring field, per-
haps from another variety OF the
same kind Of grain, perhaps from a
different species.
1t Is the introduction of a strange
breed that excited the plant to extra
production. Thereby has been unfold
ed a wonderful secret looking to in
creasing the harvests.
After many years of painstal0ing ex-
periments In selection and trying to
average up a whole field OF grain to
a little higher each year, and after
pursuing other wrong quests, plant
breeders everywhere are now giving
more attention to constructing OF
varieties than to any other one thing.
In this Burbank has led the world,
and, more than any one else, has ad-
vanced the new movement of cross
breeding. In fact, very little can be
said to have been accomplished in
improving plant life by man save by
this method.
Advises Planting Hybrid.
Enough has been discovered about
the benefits of cross breeding to have
induced the United States Bureau of
Agriculture to advise planting the by
brid for the field crop; that is, to pro
duce a single crop. A hybrid, Of
course, is a cross between two Varie-
ties. 1t has been long recognized as
a principle that the mixture of va
rieties adds at least temporary
strength and development to the off
spring Burbank has developed from
two species of the English walnut a
tree Of extraordinary size and pro-
ductivity.
But while the hybrid crop is good,
the hybrid seeds are not. As pre-
viously indicated there is a strong
tendency for the hybrid to split up
and revert to original types Good
producing seed must be obtained in
another way. The seed stock must be
kept pure and strong. 1t can be kept
pure by keeping it removed from sim
liar crops. It can be kept strong by
selecting only the best seed.
The farmer must, therefore, return
to the original strain each year to
obtain a foundation for a good Yield
1t is for this reason that the plant
breeder maintains his well cared for
seed plats where only the pure strain
is developed. 1t is to these plats he
must go each year to get potentially

tip of the sprout will come about level with the surface of the soil. It will be found that the sprouted potatoes will be three or four weeks ahead of those not sprouted. It thus gives the potato a longer season in which to mature.
 Grow only early varieties, which are naturally dry and mealy.
 When practicable select a light soil, preferably a gentle slope on the south side of a hill, for the Po- tato crop.
 Ridge up the potatoes with a broad double shovel twice during the season; the first time just be- fore they begin to bloom, and the second time immediately after the blooms have dropped. Thus ridged, the soil warns up better. It gives the potatoes the necessary culture, and it protects from the light those tubers which otherwise may be too near the surface. and thus turn green and bitter.

 Potatoes should be sprouted be- fore they are planted The best way is to pack them in a solid lay CT in a shallow box and cover them with an inch of soil, then set the box in warm room until time to plant: or if one has a cold frame put them in a layer in this frame cover them lightly with soil, and protect them with the sash. It IS not necessary to ventilate, even on warm days, but it may be neces- sary to put a canvas cover or oth- CT protection over the sash on frosty nights. This should be done about a month before the usual time to plant potatoes. When the time comes to plant take them up carefully so as not to break off the sprouts and plant them so that the

Both Wrestlers Are Confident
of Victory.
Much Depends Upon Result of
Match Tonight.

T. S. Doctor -drifted into the city this
morning and announced that he was a
conqueror. OF course he is the ac-
knowledged master of Hoffman, and
now he claims title to the welterweight
wrestling championship of the United
States. He has not defeated Dick Wolf,
of Kansas City, but claims that he will
do it tonight before the members of
the Topeka Athletic association.
Wolf and Doctor will meet tonight.
Both want to be declared supreme in
the wrestling game in this section of
the country. Wolf never has been
pinned to the mat and claims that Doc
tor won't have any more luck than any
other grappler.
The winner of this match will be able
to secure a large number of matches in
Topeka and in more than a dozen towns
within a radius of 100 miles from To-
peka. Both want this privilege, but be-
lieve that defeat in this match will
mean elimination. Neither wants this
to result, and for that reason the mat
game tonight will be shown in all its
forms and the fans will be given the
best treat of the season.
A long list of preliminaries has been
and every one will cause the
fans to get up on their toes and stay
there until the finish. Jack Woods has
returned as the prodigal son and will
go on with some good young man of
his class. This probably will be the
last appearance of the Pauline wrestler
fighter, as he will leave soon for the
balmy shores of the Pacific coast.
