grain at the bottom. A second series consisted of eight tubes of 

 grain, including wheat (red and wliite grains), barley (hulled 

 and hull-less grains), oats (black and white hulled grains), rye, 

 and rice. Other tubes contained the heads of Kanred, Kubanka, 

 and Marquis wheats and also specimens of wheat rust, wheat 

 smut, oat smut, and barley smut. 



The seedlings of certain sorghum crosses have proved to be 

 very interesting for observing the inheritance of the red and green 

 color of seedlings. Seeds from the first generation plant for 

 growing the second generation in order to obtain the segregation 

 of red and green seedlings were furnished to many of the teachers ; 

 about seventy-hve packets of seed of the hybrid, together with 

 each of the parents, were jjrepared. 



In the accom])anying table there are listed the High Schools 

 which obtained the various specimens. There is also indicated 

 a fairly complete summary of the different types of material 

 which we furnished. 68 exhibition cases, I2 Riker mounts, and 

 about 2r5 tubes containing miscellaneous material were prepared.
