SOIL DOES NOT COUNT
Climate Is Determining Factor in
Character of Wheat.

Washington, April 14.-Experiments
conducted by the department Of agri-
culture demonstrate that climate y the
chief factor in determining the varying
characteristics of wheat, grown in diff
ferent regions, it was announced today.
To ascertain this. experimenters grew
wheat for six years in California, Kan
sas and Maryland on soil taken from
each Of these states.
The result showed that all wheat
grown in California for example was
much alike whether raised on soil OF
that state or on soil imported from
Kansas, and Maryland. On the other
hand it differed considerably from the
Kansas and Maryland wheat no matter
on what soil these were growing.

Historian Will Refuse Offer of Eastern
College.

Lawrence, Kan, April 14.-Prof.
Carl L. Becker has decided to refuse
an offer of q teaching position at an
eastern university and will remain in
the chair of European history at the
University of Kansas. The offer was
made about two weeks ago and Pro-

would do about it. He made up his

board of administration had met the
eastern offer in way satisfactory to
Professor Becker.
