we are told, is that it shatters easily

PLANT ALBIT; TRIES
SEVEN VARIETIES
I uring the past few weeks thero
havo been a number of meetings
called for different purposes in
different sections of tho county,
but whore. It seem a. tho discus
slon has utmost invariably centered
about the need for bv-tter methods
of farming, for raising better live
stock, for securing the best yar
ieties of grains etc.. for this par
ticular locality, takingdnlo account
soil and climate. Thoro havo boon
suggestions brought In from out
side, specialists. and there havo
been reports on experiments inudti
right in this county. Ilecauso audi
discussions and reports havo such
a lurgal place In tho thought of
the progressive Tnlon county farm
ers today, a story of un oxpnrtment
now being tried on tho farm of J.
A. (laskill near Alicel Is quite ap
propriate. This experiment was started for
the solo purpose, of attempting to
find a variety of spring und, win

' varieties which uro now sown.
I'nrmera have been having mom or
less trouhlu with wheat falling, we
' are told, and In this experiment
the effort is being mado to clmln-
ate this trouble und waste.
I With the assistance of county
agent Avery, two varieties of seed
I weio obtained from tho Washing
I ton stato Kxporiment Station at
' rutltuan the Albit, a smut proof.
white wheat and Uldit, a red
.wheat. Thru Hubert Wlthycombe.
of the Kxperlnient Station were se-
1 cured threo varieties, these being
j some bred by Mr. Wlthycombt:-
I'nlon No. 27, I'nion No, 34 and
t'nton No, .12. To these were add
' od the two obi id and -by varieties,
Korty-fold and Hybrid No. HIS.

varieties with so wit the saint' day

All were planted and have grown

of the experiment cannot yet bo
fully determined, yet ud examina
tion of tho different varieties at
the prcsvnt stage, would give tho
visitor some Idea at least of which
varieties will be eliminated, when
the definite purpose ot tho experi
ment is kept in mind. Mr. Oaskill
believes front present indication
that Albit, brought in from Pull
man, Isi-hfl best of the seven varle
tus and ho believes that he will
plant of this next year.
In 1 he section of the plot tie
voted to spring varieties, thoro art)

Ki rly Hart, Soft 1'Ydoratiou. Un
as, Jenkins t'lub. Little, t.Tuh and
L'uion No. !(, five of Ihrso having
been furnished for the experiment
by Mr. Wlthycombe. Tho endeav
or, with the spring wheat, was to
ascertain which variety would not
ripen so early but would possess
the other good qualities desired.
The present stage of growth reveuls
tho fact that thero will bo several
days differencj! In th ripening of
tho varieties. Tho Hard Federa
tion will ripen first. Karly Hart,
second, and Unas, third. Mr. fas
klll'i choice of these is the Union
ko. 'il, S. C, which seems to have
made the evenest growth, has
headed out very nicely and Is good
for straw length. All the varieties
havo been free from fliuut.
