Blount'. Defiance Wheat.

A four ounce bottle of pedi-
greed-Defiance wheat which Pro-
fessor A. +. Blount had grown in
his wheat nursury, was found at
the Colorado Experiment station
in 1903. AS nearly as it could be
determined, this wheat had been
grown twelve years before.
The entire bottle full of wheat
was seeded. Three kernels grew
one throwing up fourteen spikes
of wheat. This most desirable
plant was allowed to mature seed,
and the others were destroyed.
From this plant, seeded in 1908,
the station has carefully developed
several hundred bushels of choice
seed wheat, the direct progeny
of one kernel of Defiance wheat.
The station has planned to dis
tribute this wheat to the farmers
of Colorado who are growing a
spring wheat under the ditch" in
amounts not to exceed 100 pounds
per farmer, at three cents pound.
This is far below the cost of
producing the wheat, since it has
required constant care and atten-
ton to maintain it absolutely pure.
Farmers who will SOW this seed
ON clean, well-prepared seed bed
should have enough pure, clean
wheat to seed the general field next
year and should use it to the eX-
clusion of all other seed in 1909.
With each sack is sent pedigree
OF. 1.-THE wheat registered with the
secretary of the Colorado Grain &
Seed Growers Association, F.
Knorr.
Probably the greatest work Prof
A. f. Blouut ever did for Colo
rado was to improve her spring
wheats. Here is an opportunity
to get an absolutely new and pure
stock of the best wheat he ever de
veloped. Do you want it?
If you do, send your name and
address to the writer at once, The
wheat will not be held longer4than
March 1st, and orders will be filled
according to date received.
We hope many farmers will be
content with fifty pounds of this
wheat instead of one hundred
pounds, so we can send it to more
farmers If you desire some of
this seed, write at once to
w. I'll. OLIN,
Agronomist.

tirely eaten through. When the
peas are in storage the presence of
the weevil may usually be detect
ed, because the little caps to the
holes will often be knocked off
by the rafting of the peas togeth-
er. Then the weevils may be seen
in their holes.
Where peas are raised for seed
there are two dangers of covering
infection over to the next crop.
First the weevils may be carried
over in the stored seed. Second,
weevils may be carried over in
peas which have shelled out and
lay on the ground over winter.
The latter danger is the most
difficult to handle, especially
where the crop is large. The only
remedy is to gather the peas be-
fore any of them shell out. In the
home garden this is easy, but in
large fields the conditions are more
difficult to handle. Weevils in
seed peas are more easily handled.
Grubs in the seed may be cas-
lily killed at the time of gathering
by running the peas for a few min
utes in water heated at 140 de-
grees. They may also be warmed
to the same temperature in Il gas
oline oven but they must be
stirred frequently so that all the
peas will be equally heated; other
wise some of the beetles will es-
cape and some of the peas heated
so much that their terminating
power will be injured.
If the peas are found to be
weeviled at the time of planting,
they may be thrown into pail of
water. The sound seed will sink
to the bottom and the weeviled
ones float, when they may be
skinned off and destroyed. Burn
them or feed them to the fowls.
Where peas are used in large
quantities for seed, such as field
peas, the weevils may be killed by
fumigation with carbon bisulfide
Place the peas in receptacle
which is as nearly air tight as pos
sible and put on top of them some
shallow dishes. Pour into them
carbon bisulfide at the rate of hall
an ounce for each bushel of peas
Close the receptacle and let it re-
main for some hours. The fumes
of the gas will kill the weevils
This gas is very explosive and fire
of any kind, including pipes and
cigars, must be kept away, or ser
ious results will follow.

 This County bears the distinction of having one public ofice which has no seekers. and furthermore which in all likelihood will go begging. It Is that of County Enumerator.
 Recently the Board of County Com mIssioners received notification from the Commissioner of Agriculture that tho recent Legislature had created the office of enumerator for each County. and that 1t should be filled without de- lay.
 The Board immediately appointed N {. B. Cook. prominent citizen to i'll the office, but the latter declined. Then another appointment was made with like results, and a third man was tried. but to no avail Now the applica ton for appointment is open to any and all.
 The remuneration Is small, amount ing to only few hundred dollars per year, but even with this it Is the first public officer ever to go begging in thIs County.
