Give Results of
Studies of Wheat
Kansas Investigators Tell
of Fourteen Years
Experiments.

Studies of crosses between wheat
varieties which are resistant and
susceptible to. ravages of insects
and diseases show that resistance
to Hessian fly is an inheritable
character which can be combined
with other characters, such as
bread-making quality, stiff straw,
winter hardness, and other desir-
able qualities. The basis of fly
resistance is related TO the cell sap
rather than to any easily noted
structural characters of the wheat
plant, John ii. Parker and II. III.
Painter of the Kansas agricultural
experiment station reported to the
sixth international conference of
genetics at Cornell university.
Parker and Painter reported that
they continued experiments started
in 1913 by McColloch and Salmon
which showed that nlini Chief, a
soft red winter wheat, was highly
resistant to Hessian fly. and that
Winter 2132 was more resistant
than the two widely grown wheats,
Turkey and Kharkov.
More than 400 varieties, selec-
tions, and crosses have been tested
in special fly nurseries and in the
greenhouse. They were divided
into resistant. tolerant, and sus-
ceptible, and compared with Kan
red. a susceptible variety. Two va
rieties had no Hessian fly, COM
pared with Al and Al per cent in
fcstatiOn for Kanred; two other
varities had eight-tenths of l per
cent lnfestation compared with As
and A per cent for Kanred. Some
of the susceptible varieties had
from SO to Go per cent infestation
Of the Hesslan fly.
Parker and Painter predict that
cooperation between plant breed
ers and entomOlogists in the next
decade promises much in the use
of resistant varieties located or OBJ
tanned by careful variety testing,
introduction, selection and cross
ing.

More Wheat Land in Ireland

Half a million acres more of
wheat land in Ireland have been put
result of the new wheat quota. This
was declared by Sir Boyd Merriman,
solicitor general, at Unionist fete
at Fort Castle, near Berwick. He
said that the remarkable recovery of
the country in the last year and the
great war loan conversion scheme
showed that the country was not
down and out. He believed that the
wheat quota would end in farmers;
selling wheat at less than the cost
of production.

A farm wife living near Balm

some business at the lumber yard

nag to the buggy and drove to town.

When McCann appealed to the
amused crowd a few moments later
his suggestion was carried by
large vote. After all, there would
be more entertainment In trying

A committee was appointed to
guard the prisoner when he should
be brought out, after which Peter
McCann went to the Jail alone,
waving a white handkerchief.
The deputy sheriff admitted him.
McCann followed the officer to the
room where Stone, Yerby, and VIII
son were waiting. He explained
the facts briefly.
Rand shook his head. "No, sir,

HOPKINS. GIVEN
AN EDGE OVER
OLD LINERS
By HARRY COSTELLO

| oy nAnNL NOO 4 EALO
STADIUM, BALTIMORE, May
21.-One of the biggest crowds
ever to witness a lacrosse game
was expected here this afternoon
to witness the Johns Hopkins
University Of Maryland battle. It
is generally conceded that today's
game is for the national cham
pionship, and the victorious IL
will undoubtedly draw the honor
of representing the United States
at the Olympic games in Los
Angeles.
While the Jays of Hopkins
were accorded an edge by many
critics, all were agreed that the
game will be a real lacrosse bat
tie, with superior play marking
the contest.
The mill-run Of lacrosse fan
was sold on the idea that it Is
anybody's game. The Jays, it is
admitted, have the better offense
and the TerpS the tighter de.
tense. Those who have q pen
chant for following the age-old
athletic bromide that the best
defense is a fine offense are in
clined to pick Hopkins. On the
other hand, those who have fol
lowed Maryland teams in conflict
with neighbors insist that the
boys from College Park have a
way of winning when they are
not given much of a chance.
Last-minute news from the
rival camps intimated that some
thing unusual for lacrosse may
take place this afternoon.
DR.. Ray Van Orman, who acts
as mentor to the Jays, has let it
be known that he may pull q
Rockne, meaning that he may
start an entire second-string at
tack. Jack Faber, who coaches
the TerpS, has threatened not to
start Ed Ronkin, one Of Mary
lands most brilliant players.
Provided Coach Van Orman
does start his shock troops it will
be the first time, so far as is
known, that such a procedure
has been followed in lacrosse,
albeit the stunt is quite common
In football since the day when
the famous Knute Rockne con-
ceived the idea Of shock troops.
The idea Of not starting Ron
kin, an admittedly brilliant
natural player, Is said to be based
on the notion that Maryland
must depend upon team play to
take the victory. Ronkin, so it
has been whispered, does not too
readily adapt himself to the gen.
eral team play plan Of Mary
land.
The general idea Of the critics
seems to be that while Maryland
has the steadier team and Hop
kins the more brilliant, and that
while Hopkins has the superior
attack and Maryland the superior
defense, the game should develop
into a real battle with Hopkins
winning by one or two points.
