No general dn the biittleileld ever martialed his forces with more dz-tailed accuracy than did Dr. Saund- ers. For mouths he plodded patiently onwards, meeting with reverses of ev- ery turn. Samples of grain from iill the wheat _growing countries of' thc world were before him and nlimerouii new varietlas produced by |:rass-brsed- ing.

The grains that attract- ed his attention when removed from his mouth showed a light color. and their elasticity showed a gluten coa- tmt that surprised him. The precious little grains were planted out from s single head in the autumn of 1008. Twelve plants came_i|p. and by 190| a little harvest was gathered that. was placed in an envelope.
