Five Hundred Wheats Grown

Five hundred and more varieties
and hybrids OF winter and spring
wheat growing side by side in single
rows in a comparatively small tract
was only one of the many sights
that held the attention of the 200
farmers The 500 varieties and hy-
birds of wheat are in the nursery
in the south field of the 50O-acre
farm where hybridizing eXeriments
for smut resistance and yield are
farm where hybridizing experiments
includes $50 different hybrids ef-
fected by college experts and 100
varieties of wheats imported from
Australia, as well as scores OF stand
ard varieties used as check plots.
All of the varieties were planted
under like conditions and at the
same time, and all the seed wheat
was rolled in smut before planting.
The different plots vary from almost
100 per cent smut in some of the
less resistent varieties TO 50 per cent
clean wheat in some of the better
developed hybrids.

to question Professor George Sew

This remark, made by farmer at

the wheat convention, held Tuesday
al the State College, was typical of
the sentiment OF every member of
the big delegation. The first an

Senator r. c. McCroskey, is assured.
With the greater part of the hum

the visiting farmers, in their after
Eoon trip over the big station farm,
were able to learn at first hand the
difference between good and bad
farming, TO note the varieties of
wheat and other crops that give the
greatest promise, and best of all,
to come in closer touch with the eX-
pertinent station and the experts con-
nected with it, who are laboring eff
ficientiy in the interests OF the agri-
cultural interests of the state.
About 40 automobiles, loaded to
capacity with visiting farmers made
the trip over the big farm The car
AVIAN was divided into three groups,
each group in charge of a guide who
was qualified to explain the differ

and to answer the myriads of ques-

Music and Children.

There is good reason to believe
that music is the oldest of arts
Older than the human race. 1t has
ito roots even in subhuman sources,
for many animals give evidence Of
enjoying soft, harmonious sound
and rhythm. The war-horse will
prance at the sound Of martial mu-
sic, some cats and dogs plainly en-
joy listening to the piano, and the
influence of the eastern snake charm
er's music is we'll known.
The child repeats the history Of
the race. Hence music il his first
and most deeply rooted art instinct
and first means of self-expression in
any form of art.
Through music, the child, par
TALLY and uncounsciously at first, but
more definitely as the years 60 by,
enters into the unseen world Of
beauty. Not only this, but in music
he also finds a means of expressing
the otherwise inexpressible. For
many, I boy and girl during the try
ing years of adolescence, full Of
half-hedged yearnings and self
questionings, music offers release
into more harmonious realm.
Music makes the child partner in
the great business of creation. Each
of Us is by nature a member Of the
mighty chorus of the universe. No
child is willingly mere passive
listener, and in singing or playing,
no matter how imperfectly, he be-
comes what he was meant to- be-a
creator.
The study Of music not only gives
invaluable exercise to the mind; it
also refines the whole nature. Watch
crowd of street urchins listening
to the right sort of music and see
how utterly the spirit of hoodlum-
ism is bapished.
BY no means least of the benefits
bestowed by music is that of bodily
grace. The kindergarten youngster
who sways gently to and fro as he
sings of the wind among the flowers,
the child who enjoys some sturdy
folk-song and dance, the older girl
who interprets Chopin through
rhythmic motion, all of these are ac-
quiring bodily grace and health, =
mind and body harmoniously at
tuned.
I'm order that these pleasures and
advantages may be lifelong posses
sions, the cornerstone of the love of
music must be laid in childhood.
