Work of Controlling Inheritance
of 10000 Strains Now
Bringing Definite
Results.
PROCESS STILL COMPLEX
More Simple Methods Must Be
Found Before Results
Can Be Used on
Farms.

The work in pollinating corn on the
Agricultural Experiment Station field
was begun this week. Crossing or in
breeding is controlled by putting a bag
over the ear just before silking. and
another over the tassel to catch the pol
len. The inheritance of 10000 strains
will be. controlled by this method.
The Mcndelian inheritance OF sixty
live factors has been definitely establish
ed and The inheritance Of many other
factors is being investigated. Work Of
this sort is being done at Cornell, Wis
consin, Carnegie Institute, Connecticut,
and by the u. S. Department of Agri.
culture. DR.. W. H. Eysier, who worked
for several years along the same lines at
Cornell, is making the studies here.
More detailed knowledge is available on
the inheritance Of characters in corn
than Of any other plant Aside from its
economic value this is due 10 the ease
with which inheritance studies in corn
can be carried on because of the large
number Of seeds produced by single
operation of pollinaiion.

here have been inbred for twelve genera.

The faculty then was so small that it

dents Office and sat in a group around
one table. There were only one or two
instructors. and such well known depart
ments as history, sociology and political
science were not yet in existence.
The student body numbered between
450 and 500 boys and girls. most Of them
in the preparatory department. which
took the place of the modern high school.
There were no high schools then in Mis-
souri,, except in ST. Louis. Kansas City
and St. Joseph. The college course, to.
eelher with the preparatory department,
consumed six years and, according 10
Dean Jones. accomplished more than the

The students, as rule, were more ma.
tnre and industrious and were not hath
cred by any distractions. There were no
organized athletics, except baseball. and
nearly all the students belonged TO some
literary society. Indeed. the literary so
cieties then filed very important place
and the college spirit manifested itself
in the intra.mural contests.
The Stephens medal for oraiory and
defamation was as eagerly fought for as
the Valley championship between Kansas
and Missouri, and other literary and or
atoricel contests were of almost daily
occurrence.

year asaiusi 10000 acres in 1920.
Farmers answered the price question by
radically reducing their cotton acreage.
In many localities where cotton was
grown only in small way, the crop has
been dropped entirely. Bollinger, Scott
and Mississippi counties report no cot.

Missouri cotton was planted late and is

FARM BUREAU NOTES
Work on Lining

P. F. Schowengerdt, Soils Extension
Specialist, spent Monday and Tuesday
in the county aiding in the lining pro-
ject in two communities-Unity and
Bar-0ak Grove. During the past
twelve months, more than thirty pull
verizers have been placed in the
counties of Missouri, according to Mr..
Schowengerdt, who is devoting all Of
his time to lining in the state. Ex-
periments on lining in the outlying
plots of the state show that for every
dollar spent for lining, a return of
SITS to $3.50 is secured, or in other
words, net profit of rs to 80 per cent
on the investment. These results
were secured in different rotations and
represent the average of all plots for
sixteen years. In figuring the results,
all expenses, including labor, were
considered. At present, in this coun-
ty, the project has reached point
where committees in these two CON-
munities have been appointed to can
vass the school districts within these
communities to learn how many. tons
Of crushed limestone the individual
farmers want at reasonable cost to
them. Mr.. Schowengerdt states that
on the average, the cost for quarry
ing and pulverizing last year was
around $3.50 per ton. 1t may be pos
sible, due to lower wages prevailing,
that the cost at present will be slight
ly less. From the sentiment and re-
port of the men present at these two
community meetings held Monday and
Tuesday nights, it seems that perhaps
from 1900 to 1000 tons will be signed
up for soon. When a complete con-
vass Of the two communities is made,
we will try to secure contractor to
pulverize this tonnage.
A f0llow-up meeting will be held at
the Copenhagen Community House,
next Monday, May Both, to hear a re-
port from the committee selected to
canvass these districts. The commit
teemen in this community are: w. H.
Counts, Peter Nell, P. q. Rickus. C.
c. Schuttler, 7. B. Chandler and Hem
~ Best. All those in this community
interested in securing lime should see
one of these men before Monday night.
IT the Bar Oak Grove community
a follow up meeting was held
.lst night, June End, for report of
the, committee selected to canvass the
districts. The committeeman to do
shis work in these three school dis
tricts are: John d. Rion, E. G. Hogen-
miller and Geo. Tetley. Those people
in this section of the county who are
interested in lining should see one OF
these men as soon as possible, and not
