Experiment Station at Pullman, YVaah., Conducting Researches. ?Irire than 2?00 different grain ex pcriuients with legumes, grasses, etc., huvo be^n made nt the state experi ment stat ??ni nt rollman, says the Spo kane Spokesinanltevlew. Two hun dred varieties of winter wheat are grown on the farm, together with 150 varieties of spring wheat In the last teu years, with n crop of some kind crown on the ground every year, the productivity of the soil bas increased SO per cent, due to tillage and crop rotation. Tho principal grain experiments In selection, breeding nnd variety testing ore conducted on n Held which ls di A FIELD OP WE.STEHN O BAIN. vlded Into three parts, and each part grows grain only every third year, peen and corn being alternated. The breed ing experiments are for smut resist ance, high nitrogen content straw that will nut lodge, nonsbatterlug heads, bigger yield, etc. Several varieties of grain, notably among which ls the Alaska wheat, have been found to' re sist smut almost entirely, but none of these i'rains proves of commercial val-' oe:' h nee their powers to resist the disease avail the farmer nothing. In a five year experiment for yield Co ll ere Hybrid No 14JL a rrna* hew tween Little Club and White Tract, shows n Ave bushel per year advantage over red Russian, the heaviest yielding of the older varieties raised in this sec tics, and :r. tho smut resistance ex periments with these two' breeds there was practical ly no di ff er once, which would disprove the somewhat general idea that Na 143 smuts easily. "^rlfod,,Wf.*tCje most interesting of the experiments, which are now almost ut maturity, ll that in which two parallel plots of ' 4Jpeat figure.-"One plot on which wsjflplanted wheat treated for arnot and jSuvu in chum soil shows a magnificent M & ta ml of 'cheat almost wa tJrcly free ?om smut while the adjoin ing plot -Xhlcb waa planted at the same tim?] Rith seed wheat which had, ?>??S tyfiewfU stutii and the soil inoco-, lated witnlthe smut germs, showa a stand of ta sr.t 93 per cent smutty. A convia lng argument In favor of crop rotati i is the magnificent stand of oats OE: JO of the fields. Toe yield of this flea ia estimated at nearly, sev enty bushe i per acre.
