Michigan Agricultural College.
East Lansing, Mich.-There, have
been developed by the experiment sta
tion of the Michigan Agricultural col
lege In recent years improved strains
of wheat, oats, rye and barley which
by repeated tests have been proved to
be superior in yielding power, and in
number of other qualities, TO any
any other strains of these crops grown
In the state. All of these varieties
have been built up, by careful selec-
ton, from single seed. In the case
of Red Rock wheat, the first planting
from which this variety has grown,
was made in the fall of 1908.
After a time enough seed was pro-
duced from this original experiment

this variety among a number of Sc
lected farmers, by whom 1000 acres
of this superior wheat are expected TO
be harvested this season.
All of this should be saved 10 be
marketed for seed purposes, but II its
holders desire TO have the grain in
spected and certified to by the college
and the Michigan Crop Improvement
association, every care must be exer-
cised to see that the wheat isn't mixed.
These precautions are necessary for
this reason: Red Rock wheat, II has
been demonstrated, will yield from FIVE
to ten bushels per acre or superior

their homes. Narrow sticks, bound to-
gether by mountain vines, formed the
sides, and they were surmounted by
palm-thatched roofs. AS we drew near
the women and girls quickly concealed
their faces in bright nantes, but pierre
ing black eyes still spied at us in
qulsitively. Abashed or afraid they
would not even permit us to caress
their babies.
Come" said our guide, and we en-
tered the first Of the long line of dwell
ings. Each one, we were told, housed
from ten to twenty families. In the
dim light, furnished by two low door
ways, we distinguished tremendous
room, with floors of hard packed clay.
There was little furniture, except a few
hammocks strung about, while clothes
lines seemed TO form a division for the
family quarters. An occasional wooden
bench was occupied by groups of men
recovering from too much celebration.
Cleanliness seemed the rule. The
ocean serves as bath house, toilet and
medicine man to these primitive peo-
pie. The Indians stood about in groups,
ever watchful, apparently waiting for
our departure.
Long Hair Only for Young Girls.
The women and children soon be-
came less timid, and followed us
through the narrow passageways, en-
deavoring to loosen our brooches,
trinkets and belt pins. They exclaimed
over our clothing and asked many
questions, which our guide answered

three men in our party. Sad to say,
the latter received slight attention.
One of our girls had very light hair.
This interested them. They removed
her hat and quickly loosened her hair,
and 10, it was spread before them pure

maiden long hair" they questioned

young girls of their tribe wore long

Indian maidens were squatted on the
floor ready to be shorn of their stiff,
jetty locks, the .priestess of this hair

squaw. Twelve years old the maidens
were today-mature women, ready for
suitable husbands. So after all the
children bearing children in arms
were young mothers, though immature
Of feature and form. A picture of
three little girls, daughters Of men,
Der of our party, was shown to the old
woman. "Humph!" she grunted; "too

the photograph inside her bodice, and
we saw it no more. Perhaps it will be
treasured by her grandchildren, GER

In addition to the Red Rock wheat,
"pedigreed" varieties of oats, barley
and rye have also been distributed.
Years of tests Of these grains, including
the wheat. have proved that they will
yield the following in bushels per acre,
as compared with other strains:
RED ROCK WHEAT.

Heo ROCK state average. $40 blu.
Common variety, average. .31.5 blu.
worthy oats, state average........ $50 blu.

Rosen rye. state average. 400 bu
The adoption of these improved
strains by the farmers of Michigan
would, without question, bring about
an Increase In production with less
cost and greater returns than is pos
sible by any other single means.
But the men who have these strains
In their possession now, and those who
may plant them later, must recognize
that If these varieties are to be kept
pure, and their high yielding qualities
maintained, every possibility of their
mixing with other varieties must be
absolutely guarded against.
Before planting, and later in harv-
esting and threshing, these points must
be borne In mind:
Make sure that the land is free from
grain that may mix.
That the drill is properly cleaned.
That an alley separates each two
grains.
That the last straw is removed from
the binder before beginning to cut.
That the grain harvested Is kept sep.
arate from other grain in shocking or
moving.
That the machine is clean before
threshing. (Thresh oats before q fall
grain, or set aside a few sacks before
saving seed.)
That the sacks have been turned in
side out and shaken.
That the cracks Of bin are cleaned
out before storing.
That the weed seeds gre famed out
