POSSIBLE AID FROM THE WILD WHEAT 



My own extensive and very expensive experi- 

 ments with wheat and other grains have been 

 carried on for many years and the results, though 

 not very profitable to myself financially, have 

 proved, even at this early date, that they will add 

 many millions of bushels of far better grains not 

 only to the American farmer, but also to the 

 growers of other countries where they are now 

 rapidly supplanting other grains for resistance 

 to rust and in larger, whiter, and harder kernels 

 and ability to stand up where other grains fall 

 during storms. And better yet, by analysis, as 

 well as by baking test my "Quality" wheat 

 stands at the apex, and the improvement in other 

 grains is now being fully appreciated by growers 

 in both hemispheres. All my experiments, of 

 every nature, have been carried on for fifty years 

 without any outside aid from any source, except 

 the welcome given them by growers and the sums 

 received from them as they have been from time 

 to time introduced. 



Much further investigation will be needed 

 before we can make sure as to the material that 

 is available. But peculiar interest attaches to 

 the investigations recently made by Mr. O. F. 

 Cook, the biometrist in charge of crop acclima-
