Referring to the tax CODE Mr.. Ives said:
81 do not know what will become of the
proposed law, but I know what 1 am
going to do, or at least attempt to do,
when it comes UP. 1 am going to make
a strenuous fight against the provision
that cuts down the amount of exemption.
I believe that the exemption should be all
that the constitution allows, which is
$500. and I am going to try to get 1t
through the legislature. The exemption
is the only chance the poor man has of
getting even with the tax dodger, and it
should not be reduced.

ton of politics and said that the success

new KIND OF WHEAT
PROF. HAYS REPORTS RESULTS
ON IMPORTANT EXPERI-
NIENTS
WILL sUPPLANT OLD KINDS
Will Add Bushel and Half Per Acre
to Wheat YieId-MRy Become
the Standard Mime
sofa Grain.

Willet M. Hays, agriculturist of the
state experiment station, is sending out
circulars of information regarding expert
ments with a new variety of wheat Whlch
will be of great interest to farmers OF
Minnesota. He says:
'"The Minnesota experiment station, IN
cooperation with the state experiment
stations in surrounding states anu e Win ~;
the United States department or agrl-
culture, is originating new varieties OF
various field crops. Ten years ago from
a single selected plant of the fife wheat,
Mimi. No 49, Numerous other varieties
were originated in a similar manner. But
this variety proved superior to the others
and the experiment station, aided by It's
CO. operators and farmers to whom these
cc-operators sold seed, has increased this
variety so that about 100000 bushels We're
raised in 1901.
1--WE have evidence, as good as daily
bank balance, that this new variety IS
adding one and one-half bushels per
acre, on the average, to the wheat yields
wherever it Supplants the common hfe
and blue stem Wheats, heretofore Well
half bushels average increase per acre,
or 10 per cent, without any added cost,
is of great importance to a farm or
county. If 5000 bushels of this wheat
fold yearly for four years, 1t would sow
the entire acreage Of wheat in the state,
with a large surplus for neighboring
states. Minnesota produces annually
about 65, 900, 600 bushels of wheat. An in
creased yield of 10 per cent would add
6500,9O0 bushels, or, at present prices,
81, SOC, 200 to the state income.
Many who have this wheat report that
they are finding a demand for their entire
stock of seed. We are advising them by
special letters SO far as we have their
addresses. to advertise this seed in the
local press.
THE milling quality Of this wheat is
the same as for all good blue stem or
fife wheat. This variety of wheat was
not widely distributed until it had shown
its general ability to add largely to the
for it are not exaggerated, and it prom
1SeS to become a standard wheat Of the
state, as was its parent, common red
fife. The former record has been more
than sustained in the year 1901. The ex-
pertinent station has no financial inter-
est In the seed of this wheat it having
been all sold to several hundred farmers
and seed growers under pedigree certifi-
Gates. But the state is interested In
having this wheat widely used, that the
average yield of MinneSota's wheat crop
may be larger. To avoid endless con-
fusion, the experiment station desires that
Its registered variety numbers preceded
by Mimi. No. 16S wheat, be adhered to.
and that the growers and dealers do
not give them new names. The seeds are
more valuable because their names show
the connection of certain seeds with ac-

ured by City Engineer Claussen, $255, 2S9.
A month ago the board placed paving
contracts valued at about $15O,00O, so that
heir promise Of placing at least $4000OO
worth of paving contracts before retir-
ing from Office is not very far-fetched.
The present board retires from Office on
the 18th of next month, but the call
for bids is returnable on the Sd, and the
awards in each instance will be sent to
the council meeting of that week It is
thought the majority of the projects Will
pass, but in the case of. much opposition
being shown by the property owners, it
is likely that the awards will be held up.
