MEW VARIETY OF WHEAT
IS PRONOUNCED SUCCES
The News Record published a short
:ime ago a description of the new
hybrid wheat that has been giver
careful tests the last four years at
the Washington state experiment sta
.Ion, together with the experiences
of a number of farmers who had
tested the new wheat. From all re
ports the new grain Is at least 1C
per cent better than the old varie
i.le3, and it would pay some Wallowr
county farmers to send to the exper
iment station for seed. Here Is tht
latest dispatch regarding It:
State College, Pullman, Oct. 15.
t An increase of $1,800,000 in the value
'e?.11oilesAoto-Padm Pdilils
1 T f I
of the wheat production of the state
of Washington, annually, will in all
probability result from a successful
experiment in the hybridization of
wheat which has Just been concluded
by the cereal experts of the state
college experiment station.
Locally this is considered to be one
of the greatest experiments that has
aver beau successfully conducted by
.he station staff. It has been font
years since Prof. C. W. Lawrence,
station cerealist, and Prof. George
Severance, now acting head of the
agricultural department of the col
lege, took charge of the detail work
of propogating, perfecting, and test
ing the new wheats. Last year it
was fairly certain that the investiga
tors had been successful, but consid
erable caution was exercised In the
matter of making known what had
been done, the preference being to
wait for the results of another year
of trial, before definitely announcing
the success of the hybrids.
Seed of the hybrid wheats was sent
to farmers in different parts of the
state, the final reports from which
have been received by Professors
Severance and Lawrence during the
past few days. The testimony which
is offered by the farmers who have
grown and harvested hybrid wheats
show beyond question that the new
ly created varieties of wheat can be
depended upon to yield at least ten
per cent better and In many cases
25 per cent better than the standard
varieties.
Washington raises annually about
30,000,000 bushels of wheat. The in
troduction of the new hybrids In the
wheat-growing localities, and increasi
of ten per cent at 60c per bushel
means $1,800,000 to the wheat rais
ars of the state.
First Car of Lumber.
E. A. Bl3hop & Son shipped the

Monday. It contained 27,000 feet
