• Hybrid Wheot
(Continued From Page 8)
covery the fertility restorer in
wheat had never been identi
fied The clue that both malo
sterility and the fertility re
storer might be present in
wheat in a Nebraska nursery
came when some plants in an
experimental line were found
to be fertile while others were
sterile.
Even though all the genetic
tools now appear to be avail
able for hybrid wheat, the

agronomists will not predut
how soon it may take its place
on the Nation’s farms along
with hybrid corn and hybrid
sorghums
Male sterility and the fer
tility restoier moist first be
transferred into existing var
ieties of wheat or into new
varieties adapted for farm
Then exhaustive tests
must be made before these
varieties can be recommended
to growers
use
Agronomists also decline to
predict how much increase in
yields may be forthcoming
with hybrid wheat. They be
lieve the increase may be sub
stantial, however, and they
have some experimental evi
dence to support their opinion.
No seed of the new hybrids
is available from the Depart
ment of Agriculture or the
University of Nebraska.
Growing Chicks
As chicks grow, they devel
op a protective covering of
flesh and feather, explains P.
H Leuschner, extension poul
try specialist at Penn State.
Their heat requirements are
not as great though the wea
ther may be turning colder.
