AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

School)
Wheat: Its Origin, Development and
improvement
Antiquity-The cultivation of wheat
dates back into prehistoric times. It's
culture is almost as "old as the hills"
Naturally there are several reasons
for this, among which we may note the
following: It was easy to cultivate;
it yielded well; it's power Of adap-
ton made it responsible to varying
climates and types of soil; the food
value of the grain and the ease with
which it could be prepared for use;
and finally, its slow but steady i'm
provement due to the developing in.
fluence of cultivation. Hence primi-
tive man, bound down as he was by
the ties of a sluggish and dormant
mind and possessing but the crudest
of implements for tilling the soil, could
not help but be Influenced by the
plant which contributed so vitality to
his welfare.
We are indebted to De Candolle's
book, "Origin of Cultivated Plants"
for much of the history of the cult
walton of wheat. He says that its Gull
tivation in Egypt,.as shown by the old
est monuments, was fully established
at the time of the shepherd INVASION
and before the time of the Hebrew
scriptures. The botanist, Unger,
found certain species Of wheat in
the bricks of the pyramid of Dashur
which is said to have been built
1859 B. C. This same species has
also been found in the remains of the
earliest lake-dwellers of western Swift
zerland. It has also been found in the
rubbish-heaps of these primitive peo'
pie at Lakes Varese and LagOzza. The
Egyptians and the Greeks, whose lives
and philosophy were dominated so
much by their gods, attributed the
origin of wheat to certain mythical
personalities, such as Isis and Ceres.
The Chinese were growing wheat as
early as 200 B. C. and believed it to
be a gift from heaven.
De Candolle also points out that the
use of so many different names for
wheat in the most ancient languages is
evidence that it has been cultivated
from time of great antiquity. This
is especially true of the temperate reg
ions of Europe, Asia and Africa. 1t
should be remembered that the types
or varieties grown in the days of the
stone ages and during and before the
time of the Torjan war are not
now grown because superior types
have been evolved. De Candolle be-
lieved that the Euphrates valley in
Asia was the chief habitat of wheat in
prehistoric times. Here may have
grown the wild prototype of wheat, but
there is no evidence. In the paper of
last week the writer called attention
the the recent discovery Of the Pales-
tinian botanist, Aaronsohn, of Wild
wheat growing on Mt. Hermon and in
adjacent territory. Historically, then,
we know that wheat has been cult
waited upwards of 5000 years and how
much longer no one knows.
In a succeeding paper the writer
will write briefly concerning the de-
velopment and improvement of wheat.
Down to very recent times all the i'm
provement of wheat may be said to
have been Unconscious improve
ment," which is a way of saying that
there was no definite outlined plan for
attaining certain results.
