ABOUT MARQUIS WHEAT
United States Official Tribute to
Canadian Product.
Says It Is the Leading Variety for
Growing In the Northern Great
Plains - Best Al] Around Ccim-
nton Wheat to Grow for Bread -
making.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
Following is a digest of Bulletin
No. 878 of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Marquis wheat was
originated by Mr. Charles Saunders,
Dominion Cerealist, Ottawa:
That Marquis wheat is the leading
variety of common wheat for grow-
ing in the Northern Great Plains is
the conclusion reached by specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture as_ a result of varietal
experiments with spring ,wheat co
ducted at 11 field stations in th
northern half of the . Great Plain
area chiefly in co-operation with the
state experiment stations. Details of
the experiments, including discus-
sions on the principal varieties, how.
and when they come to the region,
and how~ to distinguish them,.are
contained in. Department Bulletin
878, Varietal Experiments with
Spring Wheat on the Northern Great
Plains, issued by the department.
Introduction to the "United States.
Marquis wheat was first introduced
into the United States from Canada
in 1913, but is now more widely
grown than any other variety. It is
short-strawed and early maturing,
which characteristics sometimes en-
able it to escare rust and drought.
A demand for information on coin-
parative'yields of varieties and their
resistance to disease was developed
in the Great Plains area 'by severe
losses which have occurred r Gently,
due principally to drought and rust.
Although crop yields have sometimes
been low, land values have contle ed
to increase in about the same pro-
portion as- in other sections. This
has increased the cost of production
and; 'with a return to lower prices
for wheat, it is essential that the
poorly adapted varieties be elim-
inated.
Hundreds of foreign and domestic
varieties of wheat have been obtained
by the department and, tested. In
preliminary nursery experiments
many of thein did not show them-
selves fitted for culture in the semi-
arid Sections. These varieties were
rejected and only the more promising
ones were selected to be grown in
plat experiments.
flour- ph`e aveiage'yield orftouy
torn
37 samples
of this variety aitety was 70.2
per cent. Several varieties of com-
mon wheat produced distinctly lower
percentages of flour than Marquis,
Preston (Velvet Chaff) and Hayne
Bluestein produced about the same
percentage as Marquis. Prelude was
the only variety of common spring
wheat which had a distinctly nigher
flour yield than Marquis, the differ-
ence being 2:6 per cent. All varieties
of Durum wheat, however, yielded
a higher percentage titan Marquis,
except D-5, a red-kerneled :Durum
wheat which is" 16* in milling ; value
Each wheat sample was analyzed for
r
nitrogen and the crude o_
tent determined. Marquis s w aeon-
an average proteino s wheat had
content of 15.3.
per cent., and other common spring
wheats differed only slightly from it..
In concluding the ',„experiments,
flour made from each variety of
wheat was baked in order to deter-
mine the expansion of strength of
the dough, the quality of the gluten;
and the resulting texture and light-
ness of the bread. The average loaf
volume obtained' from 37.samples; of
Marquis wheat was 2;3`42 cubic cep
timetres from 340 grams of flour.
n- This was a greater volume than was
e obtained from any other 'variety of
ns wheat except one. All varieties of
Durum wheat have a smaller loaf 'I
volume than Marquis.
The Question of Yield.
In Bulletin 878 the annual yields
of the spring wheat varieties grown
duritg the seven years, from 1913 to
1919, are shown for each station. A.
summary of the yields shows that, in
general, the Marquis variety is the
highest yielding common spring
wheat. It has been included in all
of the experiments each year. The
better varieties of Durum wheat have
outyieided Marquis at all stations but
one. The Kubanka Durum, wheat out-
yielded Marquis at eight of the ten
stations where it was grown.
Data on rust infection were ob-
tained at seven stations,.. Marquis

IEvery farmer should keep some
sort of account system of his busi
mess. It shouldshowthe profit and
loss of all of his operations.
Sometimes we can not prevent out-
breaks: of live stock disease on our
farms, but we can and should always
use every preventive measure and see
that proper precautions are taken
when the disease first makes its
appearance.
