From Our Own Correspondenn Crauraian, Iil,, July 87.—For many years,— in fact, ever since we can remember,—a discus- alon lias been going on periodically as to whethor wheat will turn lato chess, or cheat. Ve may a8 well say right here that we do not belleve that suc change can occur. for the resson that we have faith in the beliof that chess 1s & plant by ftself, Just as much as tinothy, oats, wheat, snd rye. Botanlsts have always classed it s n scparate plant, and it produces seed which reproduces Itself when planted. We do noteatt to mind any other plant, vegetable, tnsect, or animal, of which Is claimed o transmatation of specles, ‘Lho mule Is the nearest avproach, and yet the mule is & hybrid and wiil not reproduce itself. It wheat changes to chess, why pot spring-whoat ehango to oats, or rye to timothy! We may well ask thess questions, and yet on ‘Tuesday last we saw what were evidently grains of chiess growing in a head of wheat. It was vroduced on the farm of J. . Hubbls, of Philo, this county. We compared tho grajns with gen- uine chess, and, a0 faras outward appenrance Indicated, they were idontical. The choss, how- ever, bad quite a large smount of substance In {ts sholl, whilo the pretanded chess was all fibre. This can be readily accounted for by difference In degree of ripeness when cut. Wo sre wut prepared to say that the article shown us was not chess; it may have been only kernels of wheat {njurca by Insccts, or o some other way vrevented from developing; still, in color, size, and outward appearsocs, It was chess, The head of wheat was taken to Prof. Burrlll, of the Industrial Univeraity, for s ex- amination. Trof. Burrill Is of the ovinfon that the grains shown are chess, but does not say positively that they grew {n the head of wheat. We are of the opinlon that they did grow there, and we doubt not that Mr. B." would say the same, were he not garn-n- atraid that a positive assertion might subject him to ridicule. A TR ER-CENT 8WINDLE. Ten per cent |s the ruination of this country. Thero 1s no business—that is, ord(nlr{. safe business—that can stand 10 per cent any length of time, It has been the cause of tha ruin of fruit-growers all over the West. Commission- men in Ch! UIFU charge 10 per cent for selline {frult, vegotables, eges, and othier farm-produce. ‘I'ney Lake none of the risks, but abaorb all the oroflta. Evervthing except commissions come down one-half during tho past ten years. We are willing to admit that ronts are high, be- cause oll the commission-men rush to South Water street, There Is no reavon in this, al- though {t may be hard to remedy the matter. We are, however, confldent that the comiuls- -slon-men are taking the loa’s share of tho profit of fruit-growing,—In & business, too, {n which they have not & ccnt invested, and take no risks atall. It may do no good to com- plaio,—the market will still be flooded; dbut there is a glurlons opportunity for some coter- prising man to get up & big trade by reductng tha commission to onc-half its present rate, BOWING TURNIPS, It Is ot yet too late to suw the seed of this valuable esculent, It may be sown on any low ground that can bo plowed: or as surgested in tho followiog by Col, Curtiss la the Rural New Yorker: ‘We are going to sow turnip-sead {n the corn- fleld, ta make feed for tne storo-hogs and the co! sitor the corg Is drawn out of the lot. \What 1s Teft will maka manure. The turnips will not hurt the corn any, as they will make tha miost of thelr growth after the corn ls ripe. We sow the com- mon flat turnip.
