J I CALIFORNIA PROFESSOR DISCUSSED CONDITIONS. Says a Change of Seed and the Pre ventioii of Smut Are Two of flic Most Iinimrtuiit Factors In Securing l4U-gc Yield Many Districts Show 10 Per Cent of Smutty Wheat In the Yield. Professor George W. Shaw, the wheat expert of the college of agricul ture of the University of California, has Issued an Important bulletin' re lating to the wheat Industry In Cali fornia. The principal topics discussed are smut nnd change of seed. The se lection of seed Is also treated at length. The bulletin, which has been compiled after a thorough Investigation, is In part as follows: There Is little doubt but that much of the present condition of low yield Is due to the lack of attention to the rational selection of first-class seed. This fact is being constantly emphasiz ed by the Inquiries made of the sta tion as to the quantity of Inferior seed which should be used to make up for Its admitted deficiencies. On account of the extreme con ditions which obtain In most parts of the state with reference to seed-wheat as a result of the dumnge from the rust attack of 1906. It Is deemed best to set forth some of the facts which seem to have been quite thoroughly demonstrated with reference to the matter of seed wheat. In regard to change of seed he says: There Is ti very widespread belief among grain growers that there is a necessity for frequent change of seed because of actual deterioration duo to continued culture under the same soil conditions. This Idea is held to such un extent as to be well nigh universal. Yet, the most carefully conducted Investiga tions, without a single exception, go to show that not only Is there no bene fit to be derived from the mere change of seed, but that actual loss occurs, except only when there Is a change to a better type of wheat, or toSi more vigorous grain of the same type. 1'ut this Is not the main object usually in the mind of the grower. Farmers are continually changing seed; the one having a stiff soil must have seed from a sandy soil, and he with a sandy soil must buy seed from a heavy soli. Then again, seed Is fre quently brought long distances and often from regions of very different climatic conditions, with the hope that some Immediate increase will be ob tained in the yield. Such Indiscriminate change of seed is a most potent factor against proper seed Improvement, ant there will be little hope of Improvement If one must give up a desirable strain every few years for one grown on some one else's land. Prevention of Smut. An examination of a large number of samples of California grown wheat shows a deplorable lack of attention to the prevention of smut. Farmers doubtless do not realize the large loss which occurs from this trouble. In a number of cases the samples have shown as high as 10 per cent of smut ted grains an amount sufficient to affect seriously the profit from the crop. This Is more to be deplored since the methods which can be em ployed are both easy of application and extremely effective. UNDESIRABLE PUBLICITY. New Hide oh to Giving Out News Prom Naval Department. Washington, Nov. 24. Secretary Bonaparte has ordered that the an nual reports of the navy bureau chiefs which have not yet been made public ssall be withheld until he has had an opportunity to rend them, possibly un til the appearance of his own report. This order Is the result of the pub licity attending the remarks and rec ommendations of Rear Admiral C. W. Ras, engineer In chief of the navy, on the subject of naval personnel. The bureau chief went pretty thor oughly Into the question of the need of nnvy engineers, and In the course of his comments remarked that the navy was not in a position to win but tles, owing to the lack of trained en gineers and the failure of the navy de partment to provide engineer officers for ships of war. This assertion has attracted much attention, especially abroad, and Is considered to have been an Injudicious statement to make, ad mitting it to be true. There is no subject which is approached more gingerly on every hand by those In authority than anything wMch has to do with the naval personnel, and In that general subject a comment upon naval engineering Is regarded as In viting peril to the author. Most naval officers believe that the annual reports of bureau chiefs should not be edited, and that the opinions expressed In that quarter should not be Influenced by higher authority un less It Is desired that the Independ ence of chiefs shall be Impaired. The great trouble has been that the head of the department has little time to read annual reports and these docu ments hnve largely been Ignored on every hand. Hereafter there will be greater enre exercised in the perusal of these reports, lest there be some-, thing In the comments of the bureau chiefs which will embarrass the nnvy Vmrtmcnt in Its plans for obtaining legislation. It Is desired also that there shall be nothing In the reports ii iinh will attrac t much attention u broad. Opening Bids for Army Supplies. Washington, Nov. 24.
