He was an old soldier, having served two years and being in the battle before Richmond just before Lee's surrender.

MEALY SUPERIOR. 1807, the Red Russian; in 1S90, tbe Gold Coin; in 1805, the Gypsy; in 1804, the Mealy; in 1893, the Rudy. Some of these varieties the Stanley, the Gold Coin and the Rudy, for instance forged to the front one season, but for the most part have lagged well in the rear. The.6tation also finds that the selection of grains for seeding, whether by means of fanning mill or by hand, does not seem to promise anything in the way of permanent improvement in wheat. In normal seasons there is little if any temporary gain.

In extremely unfavorable seasons the extra amount of food furnished the young plant by the large kernel places it in a position to withstand greater hardship and is accordingly an advantage to it. The concern of the plaut breeder who would improve the wheat crop, therefore, is considered by the station to be with the plant as a whole. That there is wide variation in the productivity of individual wheat plants Is very apparent. Much of this variation is due to environment, some of it tG heredity. The problem is to separate the transitory and accidental from the hereditary aud permanent.

Attorneys representing both sides to the controversy expressed their willingness to try. Henry Johnsons who have lived on the H. B. Swanson place for some years will move in the spring to the Hyder farm recently purchased by Mr. Johnson.

The latter's brother, Seeding Wlient After Corn. Now, in corn sections where the corn ripens in time for the wheat sown after the corn to get a start before cold weather the summer fallow is almost out of use except as a matter of necessity. Where oats are a crop in rotation wheat is made to follow the oats, requiring the plowing of the laud. This going out of the summer fallow tends to the production of better corn crops. When the farmer expects to follow corn with wheat if he is a good farmer he will cultivate the corn with that end in view.

Another point that is a strong factor in causing the system to go out of use is its costliness as compared with seeding after corn or other cultivated crop that can be taken off the land in time for seeding without the land having to be plowed. The almost universal custom here is to seed after corn. Much less summer fallowing would he done in some sections if the farmers understood seeding after corn, how cheaply and successfully it can be done and how satisfactory the results can be made, says John M. Jamison of Ohio in Country Gentleman. E.
