COLLECTION OF
PRIMITIVE WHEATS
Field Museum Shows Varieties Grown
10000 to $4,000 Years ago
Some Wheat History.

CHICAGO. March 4.-Wheats which
are known to have been used by print
tive man 10000 to 5000 years ago and
which are still cultivated in certain
parts of the world, form part Of the new
exhibit of cultivated wheats which has
recently been added to the economic
collections of Field Museum of Natural
History here.
Modern cultivated wheats from vari-
Gus parts of the world complete the cN-
hibit. Most of the wheats have been ac-
Qured through the cooperation OF the
Office of cereal investigation of the de-
partment of agriculture. This depart
ment Is constantly engaged IN growing
new and old varieties OF wheat in order
to determine their suitability under
various conditions in the United States.
Wheat was first introduced into this
later into New England and Virginia
bv the early settlers. according to Direc-
y or ID. G. Davis. Of the museum.
''Iu Europe and Asia it has been
grown since prehistoric times, ~ Mr..
Davis states. The beginning of its cul-
tivation belongs to an early period in
history of the human race.
''Mankind has probably always used
he seeds of the wild grasses for food.
Some of these furnish very fair-slZed
grains and from such our cultivated
cereals are unquestIonably derived,
b.
trace them to their wild prototypes. An
example of such Is the wild emmer Of
Palestine. a large grained wild grass
which has been claimed by some 10 be
the ancestor of our cultivated whcats
of today.
. Certain primitive wheats are still
grown in places in southern Europe.
Such are the einRorn, cmmer aud spelt,
each OF which probably represents
group of wheats Of separate origin. The
in kOIn still grows wild in Siberia and
'elseN here IN the south Of Europe. Spelt
: the oldest of the cultivated wheats.
1t was probably the wheat OF ancient
Greece. Rome and ElyDt.
"'To4ctheF with these simple forms
thor. are to be seen such unusual forms
a. Polish wheat. which in spite of its
name does not come from Poland, but
from the mountainous regions Of Spain;
Alaska wheat which l. of the type
known as the . Miracle wheat - or
4. Seven headed wheat OF Egypt and
and club wheat grown in Chile and IN
our Rocky mountains.
THE Durum wheat from Russia,
which furnishes -four for macaroni and
5astes looks much like long bristle bar
Icy The small bristly Turkey wheat
has become one of our leading hard win
ter whcats of the United States. VIII
heImina, a north European soft wheat
may be seen together with the chief
American types. The hard spring wheats
of the northwestern great plains region
of the United States and Canada are re-
presented by Marquis, Red Fife, and
Kitchener varieties. Particularly re-
markable is Il huge-eared wheat called
DickIow, grown under irrigation in
Idaho
