destroyed through the invasion Of the

an insect that in less than one year

Evidence recently submitted to the
United States Senate committee on
public lands showed that in a single
section of 100000 acres in Klamath

Bluebell and White Canada are
two of the most commonly grown
and highest yielding field varieties.
Of the early varieties Alaska is the
most important because its seed is
needed by eastern Gamers. Such
seed has to be of certain high quail

tract with seed companies In or
der to be reliable the field must be
carefully rogued at blooming time
and the seed thoroughly cleaned be-
