At last I developed a kind I ., called `Magic , from one single grain. I It was guarded at the Experimental V Station until I had two bushels of it. It was soon to be given out to the far- mers for experiments. This spring when I was absent on a lecturing tour, a green young assistant got my pre- cious bags of seed mixed with ordinary seed, and sold them to some farmer, I couldn't trace whom. If at seed had been permanently lost it would have cost me a fortune and ruined the work of a lifetime. I've wandered up and down the country seeking for news of it, and when almost exhausted with exposure and hardships, I stumbled upon it in Mr. Pratt s field.
