ADDS TO WEALTH OF ITALY
New Variety of Wheat, Known as
strampeIIi, Has Proved Really
Wonderful Success.

A new wheat, specially adapted to
the conditions prevailing in the grain
raising districts of Italy, has just been
developed by many years of careful
selection by Prof. Nazareno Strampelll,
director of the experiment station
at Rieti, to whom the Academy of the
Lincei has awarded for it the prize of
the Sanford foundation, given only to
those who discover something of real
and great benefit to the human race.
The new grain has been named Car
Iotta Strampelli, after the devoted
wife who helped materially in the
work of selection. Signora Strampelli
is a Roman patrician and a great
granddaughter of Lucien Bonaparte,
Napoleon's elder brother.
Last year Carlotta Strampelli
wheat was sown upon 1900 acres OF
ground and yielded an average of 81
bushels to the acre-about ten bushels
more than such land had yielded hith-
erto.
On the plains Of Lombardy, Molise
and Puglie are about 100000 acres
suitable for the new wheat. If the en-
tire product Of last year were sown
this year, the wheat crop of Italy
would be increased by a quantity
about equivalent to that imported an
nually before the war; in other words,
it would make Italy independent Of
the rest of the world for wheat.

BIRD KNOWN in EVERY STATE
Writer suggests That the Flicker
Might Well Be Adopted as Amer
ica's National Bird.

The alert and industrious flicker is
suggested by Frank NJ. Chapman, writ
ing in "Our Winter Birds" as the ma
tional bird, because it is native Of
every state in the Union. He says 1t
is also adaptive and intelligent, peace
full though brave, useful and beauti-
full. but he cannot sing. The bird
makes up for his failure to contribute
vocal solos by drumming exhibitions
that any trick snare drummer would
envy. When the bird gets on tin roof
or gutter, and is feeling facetiOus, its
work with its beak is marvellous.
SIT wins its way peaceably If it can,
but If 1t is aroused it fights for all
lt IS worth" Mr.. Chapman writes. ut
Is a beautiful bird, known by many 9TH
er names, such as crescent bird, be-
cause of the black crescent on its
breast; golden-winged wOodpecker, be-
cause of the yellow revealed in its
wings when 1t flies; the cotton rump,
because of the white on its back, and
the yarrup and yellowhammer. Its
home is anywhere between Central
America and Canada and in character,
habits and appearance it is clearly a
credit to the country"

PLEA FOR MEMORIAL TREES
Committee Would Have One Planted
in Baptist churchyards as Tribute
to Roger Williams.

A memorial tree in every Baptist
churchyard in the United States to
commemorate establishment Of re-
ligiOus freedom and soul liberty is the
plan of the Roger Williams National
Memorial committee of the District of
Columbia. The committee, which is in
charge of the drive to raise a fund
for the erection in Washington Of the
Roger Williams memorial, announced
it would ask every congregation in
the country to plant a memorial tree.
"The tree stands for life" says a
statement from the committee issued
at the Washington headquarters, land
as the American FOresty association is
urging the planting of memorial trees
in honor of the American sailors and
soldiers who gave their lives that po-
litical freedom should not perish from
the earth, so we will ask that trees be
planted in honor of Roger Williams,
who worked and suffered that religious
liberty might be woven into the ma
tiOnal fabric of America"
