Station Sells Wheat

Because wheat is so much needed
for food, and seems certain that plen-
ty of wheat will be raised for seed
this year, the Experiment Station has
just sold all the wheat it had remain
ing from the 1916 and 1917 crops.
Enough wheat for seed is ordi-
narily held by the Station until new
crop is harvested. This year, how
ever, Supt. Weeks, and: others from
the station who have been seeing
what in this and neighboring .eoun-
ties feel sure that the old wheat will
not be needed for seed unless hail
storms or other very unfortunate con-
ditions should come before harvest
In any case, it should be possible to
buy plenty of wheat for seed in Kan
sas this season even if some localities
do not raise enough.
The Food Administration asks that
all old wheat be sold before May 1st,
as war measure to meet the present
extreme scarcity of this grain.

With them have been planted num-
her of potato tubers In the usual way
and the latter have grown much more
rapidly than the plants which have
developed from the seeds. The object
In seeking TO produce potato seed
again is that crossing Of strains can
be secured In this way. leading to
more wholesome condition Of the plant.
When propagation is only by the roots
there Is no chance for cross-fertiliZa-
ton, and the same strain of potato
will In time give out.
The experiment is being conducted
under the direction OF Assistant Prof.
