western wheat growers, with the ex-

in certain districts, through the dis-

Following is the latest bulletin is-

The manuscript for the bulletin on

In this bulletin an s.tt.empt has been
made to present an unbiased state-

the defects of this new variety as

Garnet t is almost always apps c ciebly
loner than Marquis.
Hardiness of Grain.—Garnet pro-
duces a more vitreous kernel titan
Marquis and appears to hold its col-
our better under )Hoist conditions.
This difference, is particularly evident
in districts where Marquis produces
starchy or "piebald" kernels.
Flour Yield and Ash Content. —
Garnet appears to equal Marquis in
flour yield where the weight per bush-
el is equal to, or even slightly less
than Marquis.
In most Experimental Mill tests the
ash content of Garnet Was appreciably
higher than in Marquis, but in the
commercial test at Minneapolis this
was found to be the same for the
two varieties.
Flour Colour.—The colour of the
flour of Garnet is more Yellow er
,lark than is that of Marquis. Tho
unbleached flour of Garnet when mill
ed freshly may be described as light
yellow or creamy yellow, while that
of Marquis may be described as
creasy white.
Garnet has been satisfactorily
bleached by two types of commercial
bleaching and maturing agents.
Crude Protein. ---Tho crude protein
of Garnet grain is usually somewhat
lower than that of Marquis. although

General Conclusions,
From the data now available we
may conclude that Garnet is a variety
which merits eonsidra'ation especially
in those districts where the conditions
are inimical to the proper develop•
hent of 3lan•quis. It is generally a-
greed that it is preferable to produce
a well developed' Garnet sample than
a poorly developed or unsound sample
of Marquis, For reasonit gi=ven below,
however, t we can not recomment Gar-
net as a : ub.ttute for Marquis in dis-
tricts where the latter variety may ho
depended upon to thrive successfully,
although even in these districts it may
often he profitable to the farmer to
allow the former variety to occupy a
part of the area devoted to wheat.
From the standpoint of milling and
baking qualities Garnet undoubtedly
does not tank as high as Marquis all
things considered, although it ,seems
entitled to a place among the good
milling wheats, The chief point re-
garding which Garnet is open to cri-
ictism is in the colour of flour, This
without doubt ie more "creamy" than
Marquis. Since, however, bleaching'
and maturing processes have become
so highly developed and are becoming
so generally practised, the obpection
to the colour of Garnet would- appear
to he appreciably rn,Inimhled.

SURVEY RECORDS
Practically every mail brings to the
Topographical Survey, Department
of the Interior, ono or more requests
for information about the original
legal survey of esome piece of land.
All the subdivided lands in the three
prairie provinces and in the Railway
Belt and the Peace River block of
British Columbia were surveyed un-
der instructions from the Surveyor
General of Dominion Lands and the
original field notes are on record in
the office of the Topograhpical Sur-
vey at Ottawa. There are thousands
of them, numbered consecuti=velry,
each one indexed for the particular
township in which the surveys were
made. These legal survey field notes
comprise thse in which boundaries
of land are affected and include
block outlines, initial meridians,• base
lines, township outlines, township
subdiviisors, lake and river travers-
es, settlement lots, town sites, sum-
mer resort.:, road surveys, mineral
claim,, interprovincial boundaries,
etc.
in addition to these there are oth-
er classes of field notes taken on sur-

AIRPLANE AS FIRE FIGHTING AID
PROVES VALUE IN FOREST DISTRICT,.
Although approximately the' same j
number of forest fires occur in North
ern Ontario every year, improved
patrol and fire fighting methods in-
troduced by the provincial "govern-
ment are steadily curtailing the loss
from such conflagrations.
Last year the total area burned in
the north was 82,611, less than half
of the area affedted in 1925, although
the number of fires was only eecl'tc.'d
by 54, while it is less thaue5 per cent.
of the area which was burned in the
peak year of 1923.
Statistics for the past five year:
.follows:
Year, 1922; fires, 1,021; acreege
destroyed' 345,193; 1928, 1348,
120,148; 1924, 851; 14„017; 1925,
1,159, 187,497; 1926, 1,105, h2,-
611.
The rapid strides which are being
made in curbing the ravages of the
fire king are due in large measure
to the introduction of airplane pat-
r'ols in the north, according to Hon,
William Finlayson, minister of halls
and forests.
"Every year we have the same
number of fools starting fires in the
bush,” he admits. "We ctln't control
the idiot who throws a burning ergs
aret away, but we can spot a fire
when it is still small, and can prevent
it from spreading to towusl,`p-size
proportions."

'Assurani'o has been given by the

been in general use for the past sixty
three years in Canada are to be with
drawn from circulation and replaced
. by the large nickel coin, a quantity
of which was put in circulation in
1021. As Canada has practically at
monopoly on nicke=l, it would appear
to be quite t seemly matter to con-
tinue the nickle piece, but it will take
a long titno to make it popular with
the people. It resembles the 25c sit-

NEW MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS

Hon. George S. Henry, Minister of

the highways Traffic Act to the ex-
tent of instituting compulsory carry-
ing of lights by all vehicles and in-
creasing the speed limit to 3o miles
an hour. Mr. Henry said subsequent-
ly that the new regulations would np-
ply generally to country roads, The
new speed limit would become efTeet-
ive, he declared, on Royal assent be-
ing given to the bill. While, he said,
he had given no consideration as yet
to a likely date for the 'placing in
