Reward Wheat Emerges As Early Maturing Option In Western Canada
The article reviews Reward wheat, developed by the Dominion Experimental Farm Ottawa and released in 1928, as an early maturing hard red spring variety suited to Western Canada. Reward yields high weight per bushel, strong stems, plump red berries, good milling and baking quality, and better rust tolerance in some years, though yields can be lower than Marquis or Garnet. It is praised for excellent milling, suitability for combine harvesting, and strong storage traits.

Discovery Interests Grow Over Earthward Asteroid
Astronomers at Mount Wilson and European observatories monitor Delporte's object found by a Brussels astronomer. Dr. Frederick H. Sears of the Carnegie Institution notes its near earth distance suggests an asteroid with no tail and reflected light. He explains how a closer asteroid could refine the Earth sun distance used for measuring planetary ranges.
