THE MINEOLA MONITOR
THE POTENTIAL VALUE
OF DENTON WHEAr
TO TEXAS FARMER*
According to the 1925 Year
book of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, 1-
365,000 acres of wheat were
harvested in Texas in the year
1924. Denton wheat, a vari-
ety developed by the Denton
Substation of the Texas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station
has produced an average yelid

of 26.8 bushels to the acre for
the four year period in which
it has been tested; whiie tiu
best one of three other Medi-
terranean wheats, with which
it was compared, produced
25.68 bushels to the acre,
showing Denton wheat to have
produced on an average over
a four year period 1.12 bush-
els to the acre more wheal
than the best Mediterranean
grown. This gain of more
than a bushel of wheat to the
acre on the 1,365,000 acres pf
Texas wheat would mean a
total gain of 1.528,800 bus-
hels of wheat to Texas farm-
ers, if Denton wheat were gen-
erally grown. Valuing this at
$1.00 a bushel, this means b
money value of more than $1,-
500,000. Assuming that only
one-fifth of the wheat growing
region would be adapted to
Denton wheat, there is oppor-
tunity for an annual increase
of over 300,000 bushels of
wheat, worth $300,000, as a
total grain to those farmers
who, can take advantage of
this superior producing strain.

ing qualities. The develop-
ment and diltribution of this
wheat, of which the Experi-
ment Station made a large
distribution last year, and of
which there is available fov
distribution this year 1,000
bushels from the Station and
other sources is worth, as ar.
accomplishment figured on the
most conservative basis, morf
than $300,000 ard it is quite
possible that much more than
one-fifth of the wheat-grow-
ing region of Texas can and
should grow this variety. The
production of this wheat is
only one of the many accomp-
lishments of this Station in
which it is yielding up to the
people money values runnng
into the hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars as against the
small amount of money spent
on it each year.

Origin of Ror.-zr.ce"
The romance languages are itali;::..
Spanish. Portuguese and French, and
they are so called because they are
largely founded on the Latin language
of the anrient Romans. In the Jlirl
die ages many stories in verse weiv
written about Charlemagne. Artuui
and Amadis of Gaul. They were writ
tea in the romance languages, ami
catne to be called romances. Henri
the term romance has come to denote
a fictitious story in prose or verse in
which most of the Incidents border on
the marvelous and impossible.

if t« not always the alleged culprit
who submits to the ordeal. One form
of ordeal is for a wizard to swim
across a channel infested with ero<<>

the swim, the suspect is held innocent
but if the crocodiles eat the wizard tht
accused is pronounced guilty and i<
punished, according to Robert W. Wil

* Darwin's Life Work
Darwin, the famous expounder of
the thepry of evolution, was born in
1809, the son of a physician of Shrews
bury, England. From 1831 to 1836 he
made his voyage round the world in
the Beagle, on which he was the nat
uralist In 1859 he published his great
work, '"Origin of Species." Subse
quently he elaborated and defended his
theory. Among these works was the
"Descent of Man." He died in 1882.
Chief Executive's Son
Chastised in Public
John Adams, son and private secre-
tary of John Quincy Adams, when the
latter was President, was the victim
of a nose-pulling and face-slapping
episode in the rotunda of the national
capitol, a writer in the Kansas City
Star recalls. Young Adams appears
to have been extremely tactless, com
mitting blunders that seem unpardon
able today, and this conduct made him
unpopular.
Russell Jarvis, then editor of the
Washington Telegraph, had supported
Andrew Jackson in the campaign that
ended with Adams' election. Not long
after Adams took office, Jarvis, his
wife and a party of friends attended
a reception at the White House. John
made an insulting remark about Jarvis
in a tone that the Jarvis party could
hear plainly. They immediately paid
their respects to Mrs. Adams and left.
A few days later, when John was de
tivering some documents to the capitol
for his father Jarvis met him in the
rotunda, boxed his ears in hearty, old-
fashioned style and topped off the pun-
ishment by tweaking the secretarial
nose. Representative Dorsey of Mary-
land, a spectator, parted them and
John completed his mission; then hur-
ried home to tell his father of the en-
counter. There was an investigation
that resulted satisfactorily to every-
one except John, no punishment being
meted out to Jarvis.
