Today he is able to produce from one grain of wheat 158 stalks, carry ing 188 times aa much wheat as formerly. While these giant stalks cover con- siderably more territory than the former one stalk of wheat, grown from a single grain, he is neverthe- lens producing from seven to eight times ax much wheat per acre as has ever been produced before, And this on land where little wheat has beretofore been produced. Seaton has not confined his ex. periments to wheat alone; he has had the same suceess with barley, oata and other grains, and with prunes and apples.
