See Wheat Immune
From Rust Injury
Experiments by Specialists
Indicate Old Trouble
Is Inherited.

Prepared by United States Department
Of Agriculture.-WNU Service.
Wheat breeders of the depart
ment are step nearer their goal
of producing rust-immune spring
wheatS. ,-...
Several years of intensive expert
ments by department workers al
the Northern Great Plains Field
station at Mandan and the Langdon
substation at Langdon, N. D.,
proved almost conclusively that
near-immunity from stem rust is
plant character definitely inherited
in wheat crosses.
The recent results were reported
by J. Allen Clark and 81. b. HUM
phrey of the division of cereal crops
and diseases at the annual meeting
of the American Society of Agron-
omy held in Washington.
This principle is significant Doth
for wheat breeders and wheat farm
ers. The breeders are convinced
that there is such a character as
near-immunity from rust in wheat,
which is inherited in a different
manner than the character OF re-
sistance. They have a long way
to go before they can breed TINS
near-immunity in all wheat sown
by farmers, for they must cross
near-immune varieties with resist
ant and susceptible ones that nave
all the other desirable characters
tics such as high yield, good mill
ing and baking quality, resistance
to hot weather, drought. and dis
eases other than rust. However
the knowledge that near-immunity
is a hereditary character. and not
merely growth or plant CONDITION
is of tremendous Importance In
wheat Improvement.
In the early experiments to pro-
duce rust-resistant wheats, breeders
crossed common and durum Varle-
ties. Most of these crosses were
sterile, but when they grew and
were rust-resistant they were like
the durum parent. Discovery OF re-
sistance in Kota common wheat In
1919 removed these difficulties.
In the first experiments. crosses
of Hope with Marquis and Reliance
behaved similarly. The first plants
grown from the cross had only a
trace Of rust. In the second gen.
Grafton the plants grown from the
seed of the first crop varied, some
being nearly immune from rust,
some resistant, and some suscep-
tible, but it was evident that the
population tended toward near-im-
munity. In the third generation,
about 25 per cent OF the strains
bred true for near-immunity, but
only about 6 per cent bred true for
susceptibility. These were also
true-breeding resistant strains like
Ceres and segregating strains.
In these wheat-breeding expert
ments the government scientists
delve deep into the genetic factors
governing the near-immune, re-
sistant, and susceptible rust reac-
lions of wheat. They interpret
their results in genetic language
by saying that Hope has a single
dominant inhibiting factor for near
Immunity, that Marquis and Reli-
ance have a major dominant factor
of susceptibility, that H-44 carries
both of these dominant factors. and
that the resistant Ceres Is repre-
sented by the double recessives.

Danger in Imported Seed
Imported wheat

Imported wheat seed has been
susceptible to anthracnose or
scorch in several southern states
in which it was tried. The tests
showed that where anthracnOse Is
prevalent, seed produced in the re-
gion did better than that from some
other region. Seed hardy to cold
winters is not necessarily disease
resistant. The Canadian seed did
well in states where winters are
severe.
There were 4S0 lots of seed test.
ed at p stations in Indiana. Iowa.
Kentucky, Maryland. Michigan.
Minnesota, Missouri. New York,
New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio,
Pennsylvania. Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Lacquer Is Gaining

Lacquer is finish rapidly gaining

rather complicated chemical combina-

lacquer is its quick-drying property,

Wm. H. Whittlesey Passed Away Today
 In Seattle Home

A telegram from Seattle today brought word of the death there at 10 a. m. of Wm. H. Wkittlesey, pioneer of Seward and prominent attorney, who several weeks ago left for his sons home iii Seattle where he passed away.
 Judge Whittlesey, a graduate of Princeton, had been in ill health for the last four years and upon leaving Seward recently for Seat tie, his health was worse than at any time; in his 7O's, little hope for his recovery was held by his host of friends and acquaintances.
 A staunch lifetime member of the Democratic party, Judge Whit tlesey was the divisional party choice for United States District Attorney, Fourth Division, but his advanced age and health did not make acceptance possible. For many years past he had held the local office of deputy clerk of the court and, during his long and in teresting public career held var lous high positions.
 The passing of the respected citizen of Seward and member of the Alaska Bar, will be keenly felt, especially by those who came in contact with the kindly and gra- cious gentleman who spent the best years of his life pioneering the Northland.
 Fuller details from Seattle can be expected in a few days.
