major scientific breakthrough in the development of hybrid wheat was announced today by scientists at Utah State UnivmHy A gene or genea that will re- store fertility In Wheat wai found in plants growing in nurseries at the University of Nebraska's College of Agriculture Although available in corn and grain sorghum this fertility restorer has been the "missing link" in efforts to produce hybrid wheat It has never before been identified in bread wheat anywhere in the world The discovery was announced proby Dr John W Schmidt Unifessor of agronomy at the versity of Nebraska Dr V A USDA

the finding ranks as one of the male-eteri- le male-sterilit- moot significant contributions In fifty years of wheat farm use' Then exhaustive tests must be made before the varieties can be

experimental evidence to port their opinion Even though male sterility and the fertility restorer are required for field scale hybrid seed production small amounts of hybrid seed can be produced in the laboratory by carefully controlled mechanical pollination This has made it possible for the Nebraska plant breeders to get tome idea as to bow hybrid wheat will perform In small-scal- e tests with four crosses at the Nebraska Experiment Station hybrid wheats have yielded from 3 percent below the 31 percent above the better of their two parents Hybrid wheats will also add greater flexibility to

Sergeant Roy Hansen of the Utah Highway Patrol has indicated that 27 such accidents have been investigated by the Highway Patrol in Cache County this year with five of them being m the past mono Sergeant Hansen has indicat ed that the reason for tne increase in this type of accident lately lis that the cattle are down of fthe ranges now and many fences are not In sufficient repair to contain the 0 problems Public understanding of the farmer is vitally necessary today for the modern farmer is a far cry from the land tiller of years ago Farming today is a business an exacting big business Today's farmer must not only be able to grow the foodstuffs needed by an ex pending nation but be must keep his land alive improve his crops conserve his natural resources" Mr Curtis explained "Despite his risk and usual ly considerable financial in- vestment today's farmer reaps few of the benefits from the soaring prices of the food on our grocer's shelves The average return on a farmer's in vestment is about 3 percent about to the return that a successful manufacturer firm considers profit- awe" ne added Mr Curtis pointed out that the primary aim of this project is to neip the people
