With the help of sophomore football coach DeCicco and six of his squad play ers, the pup was rushed to the animal hospital. The doctors advised that the dog could be saved and during the operation it was found that the injury was due to a gunshot which had injured his face and jaw. . . _ J Photo by Ron Nelson By Kathleen Thayer A few minutes before the rescue of the pup pictured above had made his way to the school for help, he was seen happy and unattended running nearby.

He is a young pup, full grown, under a year, possible English Setter and Sheepdog mix, white with black markings, semi-long hair.

STAMPS & STORIES Ji UJiAL iilVJiJU Cii • • • By Stanley James "You must pick only the largest grains, which have a reddish-gold color," said Mennonite Peter Barkman to his eight-year-old daughter, Anna. "If the grains are pale in color, small or soft, throw them aside. Next month we will start for Kansas to make our home there. We should take only the finest of wheat for seed." The year was 1873 and the seed later planted in the rich dry land of Kansas was indeed the finest. The warm climate and sunshine of the Kansas prairie were perfect for growing the wheat and were very much like the con ditions the Mennonites had left in Crimea when they emigrated from Russia. What the Barkmans brought to America was a strain of wheat they called "Turkey Red." (so-named because they found the seed in Turkey and because of its reddish-gold color.) The wheat was far superior to anything which was being grown in America at that time. It was welcomed by the farmers and is the grandfather of what we now know as Kansas Hard Winter Wheat or Hard Red Winter Wheat. On the 100th anniversary of Hard Red Winter Wheat in Kansas and as part of its Rural America series, the U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp in August, 1974, which depicts a field of the reddish-gold grain.
