THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1955

Improved Grain Varieties Shown Field Day Held At Purdue University Indiana amali grain farmers hit the jackpot Tuesday at the agronomy field day held at Purdue University. Two improved wheats and two new spring oats varieties were announced by the widely recognised Purdue plant breeding team of agricultural experiment station and U. S. department of agriculture scientists. Among the tour new varieties is Indiana’s first Hessian-fly resistant wheat. It has been given the name Dual because it has dual-purpose qualities. When grown for grain, it will give high yields, but it can also be seeded before the fly-free date and be used for pasture or forage. Dual has been developed as a climax to 32 years of breeding work and it represents cooperation between the departments of botany and plant pathology and agronomy at Purdue, as well as the U. 8. department of agriculture. Involved in the breeding work were R. M. Caldwell, L. E. Compton, J. F. Schafer, and F. L. Patterson. This team in recent years developed Dubois and Clint- - land oats and Knox wheat. High-yielding in all regions of Indiana over the past five years, Dual wheat has excellent soft wheat quality. It is beardless, white-chaffed and short strawed. It excels most ‘lndiana varieties in standing ability and has valuable resistance to leaf rust, soilborne mosaic and powdery mildew. Both Dual and the other new wheat variety, Vermillion, are being increased this summer for release to certified seed growers for fall seeding. Vermillion was selected from the same cross as Knox and resembles it in earliness, height, and leaf rust resistance. Back of this second new wheat are 28 years of breeding work, according to the research report. In nursery trials. Vermillion has averaged more than 44 -bushels per acre at Lafayette and 42.5 bushels in southwestern Indiana. When stands are dense, Vermillion has shown better standing ability than Knox and it has been more winter-hardy. The research men say that what production in Indiana will be better safeguarded if the acreage planted to early,, varieties is divided between Vermillion and its Knox parent. Work by the same agricultural experiment station team has brought out two new spring oats varieties, Newton and Bentland. In tests at Lafayette, Newton averaged 77 bushels per acre over a 5-year period, and in the hot, dry season -of 1953 yielded 95 bushels to Clinton's 75. It seems to perform relatively better in the southern part of the . state. Although comparing closely In average performance with Clinton 59 and Clintland, the new Newton variety seems particularly outstanding for Its straw strength. With the same maturity as Clinton 59 and Clintland, Newton is about an inch shorter and has averaged one pound heavier in test weight. Fourth new small grain variety announced during the field day is Bentland, a spring oats variety that has resistance to crown rust, has extra high test weight, and extra high groats percentage. The 75.fi percent of groats makes it desirable for poultry rations. Bentland should be of greatest value in areas where Benton proved adapted and particularly where Its taller straw and superior grain quality are wanted. It will be recommended for Indiana nqrth of highway 40 and acceptable for southern Indiana. Both the new oats varieties are being increased for release for spring sowing in 1956. Joe Rash Retires As Mail Carrier Joe Rash, city mail carrier and for more than 15 years a member cf the Decatur poet office department, has been retired because of his health, it has been learned. Rash has been a city carrier for a good many years and was forced to give up the position because of a leg ailment, it was explained. Local Young People At Camp Lutherhaven John Krueckeberg, Charles Krueckeberg, Stephen and David Sheets. David Caston and Bill Jacobs, all of Decatur, are attending Camp Lutherhaven at Albion this week. The camp is owned and operated by the central district of the Lutheran synod, with Gene Burger, principal of St. Paul's Lutheran school in Fort Wayne as camp director. Dan Krueckeberg is serving gs a junior counselor and Bill Jacobs Is bugler. Volunteer mothers assisting with meal preparations are Mis. Herman Krueckeberg. Mis. Henry Krueckeberg and Mrs. Harty Sheets. Next week, Nancy Deinter, Melba Scheumann, Eva Schaumann. Carol Witte? Lorine Bulteineier and Elaine Scheumann are planning to,attcnd.
