M.  A.  C.  R E C O R D: 

Last  year  I  sent  the  R E C O RD  an 
account  of  a  new  variety  of  wheat 
which  I  judge  to  be  a  sport  from 
Dawson's  golden  chaff,  and  the 
peculiar 
thing  was  that  where  I 
sowed  only  red  wheat  I  harvested 
both  red  and  white  wheat  from  it, 
and  all  shades  between  the t w o. 
This  happened  two years  in  succes 
sion  in spite  of  my efforts  to  differ 
entiate  the  varieties.  Last  year  I 
had  a bushel  of  the wheat  in  which 
the  red wheat  largely  predominated 
and  I  sowed  it  all  together  on a 
piece  of  corn  ground  without 
fer 
tilizer  of  any  kind.  T h e re  were 
plenty  of  Hessian  flies  in  it  last 
spring,  but I  harvested  1 7^ bushels 
from  it weighing  63  pounds  to the 
measured  bushel. 
It  is  nearly  all 
red  with  only  now and then  a  white 
kernel. 
It  is  a  bald  wheat  with  a 
strong  stiff  straw  standing  up  this 
year  in spite  of the  fly.  It  grows  a 
little 
than  Dawsons  golden 
chaff  on my  ground  and  sowed  the 
same  time,  ripened  a week  earlier. 
I  have  laid  aside  six  bushels  to  sow 
this 
fall  and  have  had  the  rest 
ground  to  test  the  quality  of  the 
flour.  T he  miller  w ho  ground  it 
speaks  very  favorably  of it  and  the 
baker  w ho  took  a  b ag of  it to t ry 
also  speaks  well  of it so  far.  I be 
lieve  it  is  going  to  develop  into  a 
valuable  variety.

Our  work  here  at  McKeever  is 
nearly  finished,  in  fact  would  have 
been 
tomorrow  if  it  hadn't  rained 
today.  From  here  three  or four of 
us  go  to  Michigan  to  work  under 
M r.  F. H. Sherrard  of  the  Bureau. 
I  do not  know  what  our work  will 
be  in  Michigan  or  where  at  as we 
have  not  received  definite 
instruc 
tions  yet, but  think  it  will  be up 
near  Grayling  or  Roscommon  and 
in  connection  with  the  Division of 
Forest  Investigation,  as M r.  Sher 
rard  was going  on that  work  when 
he  left  McKeever  a few weeks ago. 
We  are  undoubtedly  going  to re 
main  some  time  there  as  we  have 
orders  to  take  our outfit  with  us, 
tents,  instruments, etc.

As  regards  carrying  the  big  end

any  trouble  in doing  it  so far, and I 
have  been  associated  with 
several 
Harvard  and Yale  men this  summer 
and  didn't  feel  as  though  I  was  in 
the  shade.  Without  a  doubt,  the 
course  at M. A. C. is better  prepara 
tion  for  this  work 
than  any of  the 
general  courses  given  in  the  East, 
at  least 
that  has  been  my  experi 
ence. 

T he  Botany  and  horticulture  I 
learned  at  M.  A.  C. have  been  of

up  a  lot  of  that  this  summer, but

D E AR  D O C T O R: 

Agricultural  College,  Michigan. 
I  very  nearly 
overlooked  your 
requesting 
information  concerning  M.  A.  C. 
student?,  or  graduates,  w ho  are in 
Colorado. 
I  have  not met the boys 
recently  from  there,  and  know  very 
little  about  them,  though  I  occasion 
ally  see  by  the  M.  A.  C.  R E C O RD 
that  there  are  some  of  them  in the 
State. 

F.  J.  Annis,  class  of  '75, came  to 
Colorado  immediately  after  gradua 
tion,  as  principal  of  the  Greeley 
schools.  Became  professor  in the 
Colorado  Agricultural  College  at 
the  time  of its organization,  and was 
afterwards  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Agriculture.  He  was  sometime 
afterwards  chosen  secretary  of  the 
board.  He  is  now an attorney and 
is  talked  of  for  judge  of the court 
of  appeals. 

C.  F. Davis,  class  of '8o, came  to 
Colorado  to  succeed  M r. Annis  as 
professor  of  chemistry.  He  is  at 
present  a  practicing 
attorney  of 
Fort  Collins.  He  is  interested  in 
various  matters  of  skill  and is active 
in  the management  of  a  commercial 
greenhouse. 

from 

C.  P.  Gillette,  class  of  '84, 
came  to  Colorado 
Iowa  as 
professor  of  entomology,  which 
position  he  has  filled  for ten years. 
He  is an active  worker  in  the  Col 
orado  Experiment  Station.  He is a 
leading  spirit  in the organization  of 
those  interested  in  bees.  He  has  a 
high  standing  in  church  councils. 
In  all  his  work  he  commands 
respect. 

F r ed  Herrington,  class  of  '84, 
has  been  in  active  practice  as an 
attorney  in  this  state  for  about  13 
years.  He is now  assistant  attorney 
of  the  Colorado  Fuel  &  Iron  Co., 
an  organization  of  great  capital. 
He  has  conducted 
successfully  a 
number  of  important  cases  through 
to  the supreme  court. 

Cass  E. Herrington,  class  of  '78, 
is  a  successful  attorney  in  Denver. 
Stands  very  high  in  the  councils of 
the  Democratic  party.  He  was 

their  candidate  for  mayor  of  the 
city  of  Denver.  He  was urged  for 
the  governorship.  He has  been one 
of  the three  members  of  the Board 
of  Public  W o r ks  which  has  charge 
of  all  public  improvements  in the 
city  of Denver.  His strength  in the 
legislature  of Michigan,  and his suc 
cessful 
fight  for  the  College  years 
ago,  will  be  remembered.

tary  of  the  Colorado  Bar  Associa 
tion,  active  in  interests  of  public 
works,  good  roads,  etc., secretary of 
the  L aw Faculty  of  the  University 
of  Denver. 

Wendell  Paddock,  class  of  '93, is 
now  Horticulturist  and  Botanist of 
the  Colorado  Experiment  Station. 
Has  been  in  Colorado  only  a  year, 
but  he  is  proving  himself  to  be  a 
man  of  great  strength  and value in 
the  problems  of  horticulture  in 
Colorado.

It  is  to  the  living  that  occasions

things  the  man  around  whose  open

of  a  fine  moral  nature.

life! 

A nd  so, more  and  more  it is  borne 
in  upon  me  that  the  great  thing  in 
life  is  not  primarily  a  strong  intel 
lect,  but  a  strong  character,  and 
after 
that  our  youth  should  strive. 
Y o u th  thinks  it  easy  to  " be  g o o d" 
if  it  wants  to: 
/ k n ow  that  " b e i ng 
g o o d"  today  under  the  strain  and 
stress  of  life's  events,  means  years 
of  previous  " b e i ng  g o o d ;"  means  a 
whole  previous  life-time  of  strenu 
ous,  well-directed  effort  toward 
the 
good  and 
the  true.  No  man  can 
say  to  himself,  "I  will  allow  myself 
to  he  bad  today,  but  I  will  be  noble 
and  true  tomorrow,"  and  carry  out 
his  contract  with  himself.  Today 
fixes  and  determines  tomorrow. 

It  is  for  this  reason  that  it  gives 
me  peculiar  pleasure  to  emphasize 
in  President  McKinley  the  man  of 
well-balanced  moral  nature,  and  to 
think  that  primarily  on  account  of 
such  moral  nature  the  whole  nation 
stands  with  uncovered  head  beside 
his  bier. 
I  have  not  generally 
agreed  with  him  in  politics.  His 
intellectual  conclusions  have 
quently  seemed 
ill-founded. 
But  no  man  ever  approached  him 
with  a  bribe.  No  honor  or  position

difficult:  to  break  them  is  easy;  but 
to  rise  above  them  is  nobility  itself." 
Rising  above 
is  a  dangerous

rise  above,  others  may  and  will

Sunday Services at M. A.  C 

Dr.  Dodds  of 

the  First  Presby 
terian  church,  Lansing,  addressed 
the  students  Sunday  at  9  a.  m.  in 
the  armory. 

His  sermon  was  one  that  he  had 
prepared  especially  for  the  occasion. 
text  was,  " T a ke  Heed  Unto 
T he 
Thyself."  Dr.  Dodds  emphasized 
the  value  of  character  and  contended 
the  full  development  of  one's 
for 
self  through 
the  physical,  mental, 
and  moral  power. 

His  sermon  was  heard  and  en 
joyed  by  a  goodly  number  of  stu 
services  were 
dents.  T he 
some 
in  length  because  of 
what  limited 
the 
the  desire  of  many  to  attend 
various  regular  services  in  the  city.
