In” fact,, Canadians are now being ‘introduced to such exotic products as “triticale pancake... mix, triticale - muffins, | triticale triticale breakfast 1 and, of course, triticale bread and triticale crackers.

The reason I bring this up is because the Father of Triticale, Dr. Leonard Shebeski, Dean” of * Agriculture at the University

of Manitoba, is retiring. He

~is the one who created

something” brand new on Mother Earth — a miracle grain that is bound to have a

world's hungry. -

Triticale isn’t a hybrid or improved variety: of some old grain that’s been around forever. It’s a new species of “Iife created in a laboratory — the test tube baby of the plant world.

- Technically, it’s a cross tween wheat ‘and rye.

oatmeal And, while consumers are

just being introduced to triticale, western Canadian scientists have been working on this new species of grain for about 20 years.

Stituting sour cream for ‘milk and by adding other spices or condiments. They can also be made well in ad- vance. Keep them in the refrigerator and when ready to be served, heat for about 15 minutes and then cover with cheese and broil.

For farmers, triticale offers crop that does well on sandy soil. and withstands heat and drought better than existing -wheat varieties. Since it is grown under ~ contract it also represents an immediate cash payment.

can yield anywhere from 50 bushels an acre to 100 bushels or more on irrigated land, compared with. an average of 25 to 30 bushels an acre for wheat.

Trekkies will remember Tribbles are soft, cuddly, soothing creatures, traits that may or may not come from a triticale diet. But if they do, it's interesting to note that one of the largest expansions of triticale acreage has been i in
