Denver, Colo., Dec. 19—According to Professor B. C. Buffum, formerly of the Colorado Agricultural college, and now in charge of the Worland experimental farm in the Big Horn basin in Wyoming, a new cattle feeding grain has been developed at the Wyoming farm after four years of experimenting.
The grain, which is a cross between the Russian spelt and American wheat is called ommer. It is said to be drought resisting, adapted to irrigated or arid soil, and capable of giving a yield of from 90 to 100 bushels to the acre.
The Worland farm, upon which the experiments were conducted, is owned by the Wyoming Plant & Seed Breeding company, of which Luther Burbank, the California wizard, is one of the directors.
