Most of the been acquired through the tion of tie office of Cereal Inv tion of the Department of Agr nlnna This department is constantly engaged | in growing new and old varicties of | wheat in order to determine their sujtability under various conditions in the United States. Cultivated in 1520, ‘Wheat was first introduced into this country in 1520 by the Spaniards and Iater into New England and Virginia ( e by the early settlers, according to Di- | rector D. C. Davis, of the museum. “In Burope and Asia it has been grown since prehistoric times,” Mr. Davis states. The beginning of its cultivation belongs to an early per- fod in the history of the human race. “Mankind has probably always used the seeds of the wild grasses for food. Some of these furnish very fair-sized | grains and from such our cultivated cereals are unquestionably derived, though botanists cannot now always | trace them to their wild prototypes. An example of such is the wild Em- mer of Palestine ,a large grained wild grass which has been claimed by some to be the ancestor of our cultivated wheats of today. “Certain primitive wheats are still grown in places in southern Europe. Such are the Einkorn, Emmer and Spelt, each of which probably repre- sents a group of wheats of separate origin. The Eikorn still grows wild in Biberia and elsewhere in the South of Europe, Spelt is the oldest of the cultivated wheats. It was probably the wheat of ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt. Various Kinds Grown. ‘Together with these simple forms there are to be seen such unugual forms as Polish Wheat, which in spite of its name does not come from Poland, but from the mountainous regions of Spain; Alaska wheat which is of the type known as the “Miracle Wheat” or ‘‘Seven-headed wheat of Egypt;” and Club Wheat grown in Chile and in our Rocky Mountains. ‘The Durum Wheat from Russia, which furnishes and pastes looks much like long bris- tle barley, The small bristle Turkey Wheat has become one of our leading hard winter wheats of -the United States. ean soft wheat, may be secp together with the chief American types. The ° hard spring wheats of the north- western great plains region of the United States and Canada are repre- sented by Marquis, Red Fife, and Kitchener varieties. Particularly re- markable is a’ huge-eared wheat call- ed Dicklow, grown under irrigation in Idaho. “Adjoining the wheats at the mu- seum may be seen some of the main kinds of barley. Ordinarily the most bristly of the grains among these is [ a perfectly bald variety, which fs grown for hay and may survive, as a fodder, long after cultivation of the other becomes obsolete with the ces- sation of malt-making. “There has also been added an fn- teresting case’of wild grasses, rang- ing from Alaska and Canadian fod- der grasses to the Silver Pampas Grass of South America and Natal Grass. This South African grass now helps to impart a roseate hue to the | plains of the sandy peninsula of Flor- ida.” 8 1bs. best coffee, $1.00. —advt.
