E. Call, professor of agronomy in th Kansas agricultural college. Within the last two weeks the agronomy department has received nearly 150 samples of wheat for germination tests. Samples have come from practically every section of the state.

Old as well as new wheat was sent. Since these samples have been received 20 germination tests of all wheat have been completed and 109 tests of new wheat. The average per cent of germination for the old wheat (crop of 1914) was 88, while the poorest sample of old wheat gave a test of 75 per cent. Practically all this wheat was strong enough in vitality to make seed of quality. The averag per cent of germination for the new wheat was only 66 per cent and a number of samples were secured where only 7 to 10 per cent of the kernels grew.

Fully two-thirds of tha samples of new wheat were so low-in vitality that they were unfit for just before the service. mgf prisco after a long wait at Wher- The bridfl looked very charming and wnere it was necessary for the girlish in her wedding gown of soft tieJ to be put under the rails so that tained at seven o'clock dinner Friday evening.
