AUTUMN SOWN CROPS.
Results of Experiments With Seed
Sown in the Full of 190G.
The area used for sonyiugg wheat and
other autumn crops was somewhat
g''enter throughout Ontario in the full
of 1906 than in that of 1905. At the Ag-
iecul:urHl College Ibis year winter wheat
told winter rye have produced large
ysckis of grain which is above the ov-
erage in quality, but lire winter barley
;enc! the hairy vetches have given :c'' -
emits somewhat lower than (hose 4'f
1906.
Generally speaking. white wheats, 8s
compared with red wheats, yield more
grain per acre, possess stronger straw,
weigh a little less per pleasured bush -
et, are slightly softer in the grain, pro-
duce a more popular pastry flour, and
banish a setrewhat weaker flour for
bread production.
Of the white wheats. Dawsons gold-
en chaff and other sitnilar varieties;
such as, abundance, American banner,
beardless rural New Porker No. 6, Anl-
e►ran wonder, superlative, forty -fold,
prize taker and extra early Windsor,
and of thio red wheats, imperial amber,
paramount and Crimean red have pro-
duced the highest yields of grain per
acre in the Collego experiments. .n
ttic following characteristics the varie-
ties mentioned below are very promin-
ent: stiffness of straw --Dawson's gold-
en chaff, prosperity, economy and early
Ontario; hardness of grain-buda p e th,
No. 5 red, Crimean a'ed, bartutka, Tas-
mania red and Geneva; weight of grain
-northwester, Auburn and Geneva, and
nelling quality of grain -Tasmania red,
rudy, onigara. Crimean red, yatoslaf,
turkey red, early Genesee giant, banatka
Geneva (,e flew a rind imperial am-
ber.
We are endeavoring to improve some
of the best varieties of winter wheat by
means of systematic selection and by
cross -fir lilizati(,n. Each of eight differ-
ent selected strains of Dawson's golden
Chaff wheat gave a yield of over 70
bushels of grain per acre in 1907. Some
of the most promising hybrids, which
are oo)nstanl in type this yenr, are those
produced by crossing the Dawson's
g(.lden chaff with the Bulgarian and
with the Turkey red. The object !n
cr(ssing is to originate new kinds which
will combine the goo)! qualities and eli-
minate the undesirable features of the
parent varieties.
The results of many tests Conducted
at the ('allege indicate the importance
of sowing with a grain drill, large,
plump, sound, well matured seed %% heat
at the rate of about a bushel and a half
per acre on well prepared clover sod,
and earlier if possible Nun the ION of

A despatch from Indiana, Pa.. says :
The first hanging in this county for more
than twenty years took place here on
\Vednesday. Tho 'papal WriS Carmine
Renzo, aged 45 years, and weighing 175
pounds. 'The weight of the man and the
drop of fivo foet provers ton much for the
strength of the ropo, which snapped
when the trap was .sprung, pro'ipitating
Remo to the ground. The jail atten-
dants hurriedly loosened the rope around
his neck whip others adjt.steed a new
ropo to the scaffold, and the man, al-
ready half dead, was carried to the plat-
form and the !ever again sprung. This
time the execution was successful.
Renzo killed his sweetheart, Marian

A Lean Year tar Furs Around Edmonton

A despatch from Edmonton says:
"There have been ups and downs in the
Mut trado for phe past 200 year::, and
we are not at all surprised thnt this
.4;15011 will be a lean one for furs" said
Mr. liver, the veteran chief factor of
lh(e Hudson's Bay Company on Wed-
nesday. "The supply of fur in this dis-
trict and in the Mackenzie Itiwcr sec-
tion is not decreasing. Our returns are
as good as usual in the lean years here-
tofore, and, moreover, \ye have the con-
solation of knowing that wtten the lynx
or )Harlin, or any other aminal, is par-
ticularly scarce in our distrieet. they have
simply moved Cast, or west to British
(oltuimbia or Prince Albert districts.
'1'Jte scarcity this year is not due to the
severity of t}te past winter, but, rattler,
to animals migrating."
