Show QfiTS MIS ILLS CRM li 'CHi i BY CEREAL EXPERT, Oatmeal of Surpassing Quali-I Quali-I ty Produced from New Product Pro-duct "Inventor" Declares I OTTAWA; Ont., March 18. Hullless oats recently was added to beardless barley as one of the scientifically im-j priced grain varieties evolved in Can- ada which promise to make a puima-' nent impress on the agriculture of thoi wo'lc'. It is the "invention" or evolved product of C. E. Saunders, Dominion certalltt. whose experimental work on i he government farms near Ottawa, ranks him with Luther Burbank as a wizard in tho transformation of plants. ' -'The new hulless oat." said Prof. iSanriers, "or Liberty Ottnwa ISO oat, I as I lifve named it, was produced by Icrossirg a hulless oat from China with' J the well-known variety, Swedish Sp-'lect. Sp-'lect. It is distinctly superior in f!eld j characteristics to its Chinese pa. ent. . I "j think it will prove of great use (in aomc sections, particularly for Jeed ing young chickens and pigs whlcr. re-jquirr' re-jquirr' concentrated nourishment of not too course a kind. Sometimes mill j feeds are expensive or unobtainable 'in remote districts and hulless ots is , intended to supplant them. 'The new variety gives a good yield i though not quite equal to that 'it thei most rroductlve varieties which retain re-tain their hull. The difference is not! great enough, however, to interfere i with the value of the hulless variety. It has straw of good lengtn and strength and ripens early. "I should not recommend it for feeding feed-ing to horses as I fear that, lacking the hull, it would be too concentrated a food. But for human consumption, it is especially desirably. Oatmeal of! surpassing quality can be made from it hv merely grinding it at a mill." |
