Abstract

A London despatch to Washington says that a syndicate of capitalists of the Western States has leased 600,000 square miles of Siberian land from the Russian Government. The All-India Cow Conference for 1920 was held at Nagpur, Central Provinces during the National Week. Seed-wheat from the famous Plant-breeding Station, Slavof, Sweden, is being introduced into the Scotch market. One or two small parcels sown in 1919 yielded crops of 60 to 65 bushels an acre. Its merits are great hardiness, high yield and resistance to yellow rust. The variety-Iron wheat-is sold at 120 to 135 shillings per 504 lbs.
