the conclusion reached by specialists
of the United States Departnient'of
Agriculture asa result of varietal
experiments with spring wheat con-
ducted at 11 field.statibns in the
northern half of the Great Plains
area chiefly in co-operation with the'

and when they come. to the region;
and how to distinguish, them, are
contained in Department Bulletin

Spring Wheat on the Northern Great
Plains, issued -by the department.
Introduction to the United' States.
Marquiswheat was' first introduced

into, the United States from Canada'
in 1913, but is now., morewidely
grown than any other yeriety. It is
sbol -strawed and early maturing,:'
which 'characteristics sometimes eine.
able it to escape rust and drought:
A demand for. information on cont
parative-yields of tarieties and tleir'
resistance to disease was developed'
in the Great Plains. area by severe_
losses which have oeeurred recently,
due principally to drought and rust.
Although crop yields -have soh.etrnfes,
been low, land values have continued.
to increase, about the sauna 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 clim-
ivated.
. Hundreds of• foreign and domestit:,
varietiesaof-wheat have been obtained,
by. the department, and tested In'
preliminary: nursery • experiments!
many of diem did not show them-'
selves fitted for: culturein the semi-,
arid sections These varieties eVere
rejected. and only 'the'more promising
ones were selected - to be` grown 5n'
plat experiments.'
The Question'of Yield.
In• Bulletin 878 the annual yields
of the spring wheat_,varieties grown.
during the'seven'years; from 1913 to
'1919, are: shown for each station; A
summary of the yieldtee nows'that^•in'
general, the Marquis variety- isis the.,
highest, yielding 'common, spring
wheat. It has been included in all
of the experiments each year.. The
better varieties of Durum,wheat have
outyielded Marquis at ail stations but -
one, The Rubanka Duruln wheat out -
yielded' Marquis at eight of the ten
stations where 'it was grown.,'

Mined, at seveng'stations. Marquis

tion 03 17.7 per cent. in twenty

centage of rust Infection than Mar-

Milling Tests.
The leading varieties of, spring
wheat grown at the eleven stations
were, millet in an experimental mill
and ,the 'flour baked into broad in
order ' to . determine .theirrelative
values for flour 'and broad -making.
It was found that growing conditions
and' disease had m0011 influence. on,

Marquis wheat yielding as low as
56.4 per, cent. of flour from sections
where it had been affected by rust,
while under. favorable conditions it
pfoduced as high as 75.8 per cent. of
flour. The average',yteld of flour from
17 samples of 'thls 'variety avis 70:2

mon wheat -produced distinctly lower'
percentages of flour than 'Marquis.

a higher percentage than Marmite,.

Each wheat -Sample was anslyzed for.

tent determined. Marquis wheat had
an average protein 'content 05. 15.3

wheats differed enly slightly from it.

BUYING A FARM. `.
Some Very Practical and Timely
!lints to Would-be Purchasers
of Farnm Property.
The most important decision, that
a farmer is called on to make is the
,selection of a farm on which to live
and earn a living, The judgment
used in making the selection of a
farm may make er break a man, may
tie hinirup for life to poverty or to
wealth. In districts where the soil
is uniformly good over a large area
and where prosperity is evident on
all .sides the talk is not so . great
and risky. But in districts where var-
tous' types and grades of 'soil exist a
poor farm and a good farm may lie
side by. side. The good farm will
no doubt help, to sell' the poor one,
which, by the way, is always for sale.
See Your: Prospective earn Its July..
Farm purchases are most fre-
-quontly made during the winter.
when the opportunity, for close exam-
ination Is least. this should not be
so,. If farms were purchased on the
basis of the crop showing during the
,month of July there would be fewer
regrets; If a man contemplates,pur-
cllasiing a farm in a district whore
