The marltot value of the Wlntel wheat of Ontario 'amounts to eve] fifteen, million dollars annually. 'h therefore, one of the Most import. ant of the uaoiiey crops of the Pro' vince. The acreage of winter wheal during the past year bus been about the same as the average annual acreage for the past forty •years There is not a county or. district in Ontario in which winter wheat is not grown, although in New Ontario the average annual atnouni ienot more than about .2,0,000 bushels, Owing tc the comparative low ;price of winteI wheat al present, strict attention should be given to economic meth001 and to large yields, 0, A. No. 104 a Carefully Chosen Cross. The Dawson's Golden Chaff is still Abe variety Most largely grown. ao- acrding to the December ,Bulletin of the Ontario Department of 'Agricul-. tare. for 1922, With the object of securing even a better variety, crosses have been made at the Ontario Agri- cultural College' between the Dew - son's Golden Chaff and Some other varieties, .such as, :Tasmania Red, Crimean `Red, Turkey Red, Buda P esth, Imperial Amber, and Bulgari inn. A new variety has been origin- ated at the College by crossing the• Dawson's .Golden Chaff and .the Bul- garian, and ''thie'in now known as the 0. A. 0. No. 104. .to both the Col- lege -and the co-operative tests this -new .variety has made an. excellent record, surpassing the Dawson's Golden Chaff in both yield and qual- ity' of grain. ;It is awhite wheat, and resembles the Bulgarian in possess- ing'a white chaff and the Dawson's Golden Chaff in a beardless head, It is a vigorous grower, and has been less subject to winter -killing than the Dawson's. Golden Chaff. The Value' of Using Good Seed. It is also important to use seed of high quality. The results of six years' experiments ' at the College, show'an average increase in yield of grain per, acre of 6.8 bushels from ,large as compared with small seed,_ of 7.8:'bushels from plump as com- pared with shrunken seed, and of 85.6 •busifels from sound as •coin - pared with broken seed. Seed which ,was allowed to, become thoroughly .ripened before it was -cut produced a ;greater yield of both grain and straw, and a 'heavier weight et .grain per measured bushel than that- produced from what w t n e hichwascuata y one of four earlier stages of maturity. In each of two years when winter wheat was sprout d In the fields, germina- tion tests 08 the grain were made; The'following results show: the aver- age percentage '01 germination from. each selection: Skinover germ,' un- broken, 94; skin over germ, broken,' 76; sprouts one-quarter inch long, 80; and sprouts one inch 'Jong, 18. Not only was the sprouted wheat low in germination but the plants pro- duced were very uneven fn size. Red Wheats vs. the R d Varieties. ,' White`, wheats' as compared with red wheats yield more grain per acre, possess stronger straw, weigh a little less per measured bushel, are slightly softer in' the grain, are more useful in the manufacture of - shredded wlieat and of Pastry, and furnish a eomewhat welsher four for bread pro- -duction. Winter' wheat which was grown on, 'clover sod yielded much better than ,that which was grown on timothy sod, and that which -was grown on land on which field pease wore used as a green manure yielde0t 6.5" bushels of wheat per acre more than that grown on land en which buck- wheat was used as a green manure.

Since animal life must 'depend upon plant lite for its support, we must ,first learn how nitrogen gets from the air'into the plant. Every farm boy has seen the grain"' turn 'yellow at times in the- very early spring and 'especially that whichtwas growing in the dead furrows of the fields. This occurs largely because there isn't enough nitrogen in the right form for the plants_ to get at this time of the ,year. As a single element - existing alone, neither ani- mals nor the green plants can use nitrogen, and yet the -air is, tnti.source of the entire supply fpr all life. - If we go bank into history. of 'RP- roan agriculture, we hill land that even the farmers 'et that'tiine know snough to ; grow legumes. Even though all of this was knowniv Itas not until 1887 that the reason for it was discovered. Then it was that the little swellings always found on the roots of legumes were discovered to contenoolintless numbers of min- ute forms of lite, now: known as use- terfa. Later it was learned that these litle workers 'had a great deal to do With keeping the soil in ht cohditlon Cor the growing et crops, for they, In their magic way ef'livtug, are cap- able of taking the nitrogen oat of. the'air thata8 in tun soil and making It become a part elL.the bolt: coin- 0ouuds. in this way we have tete. cheapest ,weans of keeping up the nitrogen supply of the soli.—Board's (Dairyman.'
