Mr. Holcomb is firmly convinced that

Not long ago he decided to see what

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 Strampeln.
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
lotta Strampelli, after the devoted
wife who helped materially in the
work of selection. Signora Strampeln
is Roman patrician and 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,
1t would make Italy independent of
the rest of the world for wheat.
