Seven Headed Wheat 



Sometimes wheat shows a tendency to develop several 



heads on a single main stalk. At one time, Mr. Burbank thought 



of developing cereals of this type, improving the stalk to make it able 



to bear the increased weight, in the hope of thus increasing the 



yield. But he has decided that on the whole it is better 



to increase the quality of the individual head rather 



than to increase the number of heads.
