Since Marquis wheat was first intro- duced, a good many growers and. breeders have been malting selections from it with a view to producing, if possible, an improved strain, From results obtained se far it seems quite clear that differences of greater or lesser importance actually exist. Be- fore• it will be possible to recommend one strain of Marquis over another, several years testing will be neces- sary, however. While certain new varieties bid fair to replace Marquis in the West, yet until these varieties have been tested further, the supremacy of Marquis as a general variety for most parts of Western Canada will remain un- challenged. At thepresent time, it is estimated that approximately motel PP Y 90 per cent of all the ' spring wheat grown in Western Canada consists of the above variety, while in the United States, :statisticians claim that ap- proximatoly 70 per cent, of the spring wheat growing areas of that country Is devoted to the production of this variety.

Does your tractor need overhauling? Don't put it oil. I know it may be hard to dig up the money and maybe you can get through another season. That is what we thought last year. The result was we paid out as much for needed repairs as it would have cost us to give it a thorough going over early in the spring, and we ex- perienced some very aggravating de- lays in the busiest season in addition. Some of our greatest troubles would have been avoided had we attempted the clearing up job lit time. We learn- ed our lesson all right, and this spring before 'working time our tractor will get a good cleaning up inside and out, and all parts . not in good condition will be replaced with new. One sea- son's experience in postponing a need- ed general overhauling is enough, The 'tractor will not stand neglect and let you get by with it. Perhaps the old valves have become burned and pitted oausing the motor to run badly and loose power. It does not cost much to grind them and see that they are properly seated, or even to replace them with new ones: Such treatment makes the old motor be- have like new. It may be the piston rings are worn, resulting in poor com- pression and allowing some of the un- burned fuel to escape into the crank case and dilute the oil. Next thing may be a burned -out bearing or even a scored cylinder.
