succeed in doing this & offer
satisfactory proof to these
common sense men. Four
of the expts. have been & are
making; three by farmers,
& one I am overlooking. We
follow certain directions in
growing the plant. My wheat,
as I yet call it, it two feet high,
& in a few days the chess is
send forth its paniculate
spikelets becoming the full grain.
The soil was boiled two hours
thoroughly, so as to kill all
seeds in it, & put into a
larger tin flat in which
the wheat was sown & is now
growing. I trust the matter
will work according to the law
of "every seed after his kind."

With respect
