LIKE A^FAIRY TALE
Sometimes there appears a story so
like a fairy tale that it is difficult to
tell whether it was intended for pure
fiction, or that fact and fiction were
purposely so blended as to deceive the
very elect# Such is a story credited to
the columns of the Saturday Evening
Post concerning the discovery and de
velopment of the Alaska wheat said to
be capable of y ielding 250 bushels to
the acre.
It came about in this way, one
Abraham Adams of Idaho went north
in 1005 searching for gold, but not
finding the yellow metal in sudieient
quantities, he was retracing his steps
and poking about in southeastern
Alaska when he chanced upon a nook
far from the haunts of men, where
was just ripening a patch ot wheat.
The birds and wild animals had car
ried oil’ the grain leaving only one
lone head to tell the tale. 1 his head
fullv four inches long, and broad in
*
proportion, was taken in Abraham s
bosom and carried back to Idaho, lhe
seed was planted, and when matured
it produced seven pounds of line hard
grain. This in turn was planted, and
when nicely growing a mighty hail
storm swept over the country leaving
the common wheat cut oil and beaten
into the ground, but the sturdy stalks
of the Alaska grain were scarcely in
jured. The wheat ripened and yielded
1545 pounds. This was planted in the
fall of 100fi. The stems grew like corn
stalks with leaves seven-eighths of an
inch broad, and the yield was 55,000
pounds.
From various tests in different parts
of the country it has been shown that
under ordinary soil conditions the
wheat will yield 200 bushels to the
acre.
Such in brief is the story of the new
wheat that is to revolutionize wheat
growing in the west and bring back
wheat raising to the worn out farms of
the east.
