AV There must have
Z IL been 9th r years,
& ~ when ristmas
-. - - came on Wednesday
and this column had to be writ
ten but time fees away and so
does many memories and his
tory, If this be such, repeats
itself, but / have no recollec-
tion Of having done this before.
This has been a wonderful
day. Sunshine, greetings, gifts
and visits with the families. 1t
is a day to be remembered. And
so I hope it is with each of
you for memories get very pre-
cious in later years. A recall
ing of the day spent with this
friend or relative, the delicious
dinner, the coming of friends
for a Merry Christmas greet
ing, a phone call from a dis
tance. the way the fire burned
on the hearth bringing a rosy
glow to every cheek, the spe-
cial blessing said by a member,
all of these become priceless
as time goes by.
1t would seem that Milford
never looked so wonderfully
beautiful as last night when
almost every house on every
street had some display, if only
a colored light or a tiny light
ed tree. Some of the homes
would surely rate a write-up
in one of the magazines, so
lovely were they in holiday
dress. And the pleasure the
sight brings to passers-by and
to the children within! No
matter how much work and
worry, it would be worth all of
it to give so much to others.
This is the season for it.
People have gathered for
meals together. There were
several breakfasts, where
members of the family came to-
gether for the first broken
bread of the day and there was
time to talk, to exchange gifts
and to visit as the final cup of
coffee was poured. 1t is a
lovely season for families.
Tomorrow night is the big
party given in the New Cen
tury Club before the annual
Lions Club dance by the Price
Webbs, the Edwin Fishers and
the junior David Clements.
They are probably having a
large group of guests for they
hired hall" and there is sure
to be a good time for hosts and
friends. The dance will go on

Wheat 1000 Years Old

Distributing it to several expert
mental farmers in Europe, he seems
to have scored a major success with
the wheat only in Sweden. There,
Oscar Johnson of Smaland planted
three kernels, carefully nurSed them
through the season and ended up with
several thousand seeds for the next
planting. BY present count, he has
enough to SOW 2Ia acres Should he
have a successful harvest next year,
he expects to reap enough grain to
plant few hundred acres. From then
on, the wheat that had laid dormant
for ages may be available for others.
Called Osiris" the reborn wheat
strain has thus far proved to have
tremendous hardness. What other
beneficial qualities it may have. Mr..
Johnson and other agriculturists the
world over are interested in finding
out.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-13

THIS story begins more than 1000
il years ago. when relatives Of a
deceased Egyptian nobleman buried
some wheat kernels in his tomb, pre-
sumably so the departed could grow
his own in the land of the dead.
The nobleman was hardly in any
shape for showing as museum
mummy when unearthed recently by
a Swiss archeologiSt. but the wheat
seeds appeared to be in good condi-
ton The archeologist, no farmer him
self, wondered if they might still
sprout under proper cultivation.
Reviewing his proposal to test the
grain under various conditions of soil
and cline. the Egyptian government
turned thumbs down on experiment
ing anywhere but in Egypt. But
placing agronomy ahead of SOW
ereignty, the scientist whiSked hand
full of the kernels out of the country.
