NEW HYBRID WHEAT
HOLDS POSSIBILITIES
"Friplet," w. 5. G. Production, Out
yields All other Varieties i'm Tests
is Good Smut Resister

"Triplet,' a hybrid wheat pro-
duced at the state experime nt sta
ton, is thought to hold great posi-
bilities for the farmer of eastern
Washington as a wheat that it a max
imum yielder, hardy, a good grader,
and, above all, a remarkable smut re-
sister "Triplet" is right now the
pet of the experiment station experts,
and after four years of intensive ex-
perimentation with the new wheat,
the first information concerning it
was given to the farmers at the
wheat convention last Friday by
Prof. f. f. Gaines, station cerealist.
"Triplet" is so named because of its
three ancestors, fife, little club and
turkey red combining the good
qualities of each and proving a bet
ter producer than any of its ancest-
ors in tests on the station farm.
In tests for comparative smut re-
sistance with 10 common varieties of
wheat, in which all of the seed was
thoroughly inoc lated with smut
spores before being planted "Trip
let proved its ability to resist smut
when it took fourth place, producing
POI per cent good wheat after 91.27
per cent of the plants had been in
iected. Turkey red showed by far
the greatest resistance, with the re-
markable record Of 9S.19 per cent of
good wheat. Fortyfold produced
50.59 per cent of good wheat and red
russian 3l.4O per cent, with blue
stem, little club, winter fife and hy-
birds Nos 143, 1913 and 12S trailing
in the order named to as low as 1855
per cent for the last named hybrid.
In tests with clean wheat on clean
soil, however, "Triplet' advanced to
second place with % per cent of
smutted kernels, turkey red again
leading with 1,5 per cent, both tests
covering three-year series.
In yields, grade, bushel weight and
value and acre value, however,
"Triplet" led the field by a substan-
ial margin, averaging in yield 1923
bushels during a four-years series of
tests, testing 6 pounds to the bushel.

of $2.05, and an acre value of $SS.62.
Hybrid No. 1928, despite it's inclina-
ton to smut, represented an acre
value under present prices of $SO.38,
yielding 5000 bushels to the acre.
Other varieties produced acre values
rs follows: little club, $7S.03; hy-
brid 1913, 1891; red Russian,
$72.06; hybrid 143, $71.74; blue
stem, $69.35; turkey red, $6S.91;
Jones winter flies, $500; forty
fold, $516S.
The three factors determining the
amount of smut in wheat, according
to Prof. Gaines, are the amount of
voluble> smut spores in the vicinity of
the planting, the date of planting and
the inherent resistance of the wheat

Planting Time Big Factor

That the time of planting is a great
controlling factor in wheat smut was
the deduction gained from charts
presented by f. ID. Heald of the eX-
pertinent station staff. The charts
represented extensive eXperim enta-
ton and showed a variation in smut
of from nothing in the crops planted
on August II to ALA per cent in
those planted October ., with cor
responding reduction of smut in
crops planted after that date up to
late in November. The planting of
the seed before or after the smut
showers is pointed to as the cause
of the success Of early or late plant
ing, experiments proving that $780,
600 smut spores fell on each square
foot of exposed ground during the
threshing season of 1916, carried
there by the wind.
DR.. Head stated that experimental

are apt to yield less than later SOW
ings. He recommended the mainten-
ance of a seed bed by every farmer.
suggesting that crops be rotated on
the soil thus used to produce the best
results in the seed wheat and urged
the Importance of smut fans in
threshing machines to prevent the
spread of the spores during harvest
time.

The first step in the cultivation and
care of the garden lies in proper plow-
ing, spading and preparation of the
soil. The entire seeded should be
thoroughly ~pulverized as deep as the
soil is plOwed. The next step is to
make sure that the rows are laid out
perfectly straight and far enough apart
so that when horse cultivation is EN-
ployed there will be sufficient for
the horse to walk. and so that when
hand cultivation Is to be employed
there will be room for the wheel hoe.
Straight rows enable the gardener TO
give the crops better cultivation than
would be otherwise possible.
Frequent shallow cultivation should
be given garden crops. BY keeping the
surface of the soil stirred a dust mulch
Is formed, which prevents the loss of
moisture. In this way weeds are pre-
vented from getting a start.
Cultivate After Rains.
The soil should be cultivated as soon
as dry enough after a rain, to break
the crust and prevent baking. Sandy
soils may be cultivated when quite wet.
but clay soils should not be stirred
when wet enough to cling together in
a mass when lightly squeezed in the
hand. Too much emphasis cannot be

The path of designers, who are al
ways looking for something new and
beautiful. has been made much easier
than usual this season. Contributions
Of two materials, or two kinds of one
material, in Il single garment account
for it. The spring and summer styles
were ~inaugurated by displays that
featured these contributions and we
have benefited by them in several
ways-in inexpensive and original
frOcks that are attractive, and in re-
modelled dresses that double the length
Of service of at least one of the fab
RIGS used in them. The styles never
favored the r%emodeling of frocks more
than they do now.
Usually a sheer material like chif-
fon cloth, georgette crepe. wolfe or net
is made up with a heavier goods and
the refinement of these sheer fabrics
lends tone to others as familiar and
commonplace as serge or bingham.
This makes them m immensely valu-
able resource of the professional and
the home dresSmaker. There is no
end to the ways in which materials
have been combined in coats and
frocks. Wolfe and Bingham, georgette
and satin, chiffon cloth and light wool
ems have proved so successful that
they promise a long reign of combi-
nations in the realm of fashions.

tivatiOn. If the work is properly done
at the right time, there will be little
difficulty in controlling weeds.
If the work Is to be done with horse
drawn tools, the five-shovel c%ultivatOr
is an excellent tool, as 1t breaks the
surface thoroughly, destroying weeds
very effectively, and leaves the ground
fairly level.
The hand c%ultivator is a good imple-
ment, as 1t can be used for small
growing vegetables and those planted
too close for horse cultivation.
Hand Work Essential.
Some hand work Is always essential,
no matter how thoroughly the horse
cultivation is done. 1t is a good plan
to go over the garden after finishing
with the cultivator and, by means Of
the hoe or rake, pull clOds and stones
from around the plants. remove any
weeds not destroyed by the cultivation,
and GOV any plants accidentally
covered by clOds or earth during the
cultivation.
1t is an excellent plan to train to-
matOes, peas. etc, or stakes or other
supports, as this makes 1t possible to
keep the garden in good condition with
a minimum of labor.

PRUNE FRUIT-BEARING TREE
of Wood as Well as to Height
and Formation.

Qrom he United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
In pruning a fruit-bearing plant like
the apple attention must be given not
only to the height and formation of the
head, but to the removal of wood as
well. The apple bears its fruit on
spurs which are themselves developed
from wood n year or more Of age.
For that reason, therefore, the re-
mOval of wood which carries fruit
spurs reduces the crop the tree is
capable of bearing. This then, is a
practicable way of thinning the fruit.
Besides accomplishing this result prun-
ing can be used to lessen the annual
growth and force the energy Of the
plant which would naturally be used
in making wood into the fruit, thus in
creaSing its size OF enabling the tree
to carry a larger quantity than would
be possible were a normal wood growth
permitted.
