INTENSIVE FARMING =.
Improving Wheat Varieties

A good milling wheat should BE-
fairly hard and the grains uniform
iu hardness, color. size and shape.
Such wheat will make the largest per
centage Of high grade flour and will
command the highest prices.
The first step In producing wheat
having these qualities is To procure
a variety which, In addition TO yield
ing heavily and having the Necessary
stiffness Of straw TO stand up well,
has the required hardness OF grain
to be acceptable for milling purposes.
There Is considerable variation among
different varieties In this respect,
and the reader is referred to Bulle-
tin No. I55 OF this Station for a dis
cussion OF the relative values VI
cur most common varieties.
After the variety is secured. main
tanning the uniformity of grain Is
largely question OF keeping the
variety pure. II is manifestly I'm
possible to have uniformity where
there is a mixture OF varieties for
the grain OF different varieties VI
wheat differs In character. Whea.
is practically a solf-fcrtilized plant,
and crossing between varieties Will
not occur to any appreciate extent
even under the most favorable con
Gltions for such crossing. Thus mix
Ing OF varieties is due almost entire
IL TO mechanical means. The travel
ing threshing outfit is the chief
factor concerned In this. because con-
siderable quantities Of grain are car
ried from one farm 10 another In
the separators. No matter how pure
variety is TO begin with. II Will
become mixed In few years I'M
less extraordinary precautions are
taken TO prevent II. AS a result II
is almost impossible to find a variety
OF wheat absolutely free from admix-
lures OF other varieties.
The plan described below is one
which has been found entirely prac-
teal and efficient in producing pure
seed wheat. In addition. II is wheat

shown a phenomenal gain in the

total was. speaking in round terms,

youngest daughter, Isabelle Evelyn,
was united in marriage to Frank Sew
eranee Savage of Augusta, the cere-

chapel.
The house was attractively deco
rated in honor of the event with ferns.
goldenrod and olematis Promptly at
s o'clock, to the strains of the Lohen-
grin wedding march, the bridal party
slowly descended the stairs to the
parlor, where the ceremony took place.
The bride was attired in white mes
saline and carried a shower bouquet
of white roses. She was attended by
her sister, Miss Margaret S. Weeks,
who was gowned in pink messaline
and carried bouquet of pink carna-
lions.
Daniel II. Weeks. brother of the
bride. gave her away and little Mar
jorie Glidden. niece of the bride, acted
as flower girl and was quantity at
tired in pink. The groom was attended
by John s. Weeks and the bridal par
ty met under an arch of ferns, ever
green and goldenrod, where the cere-
mony OF the church was impressiveiy
performed by the officiating clergy
man.
A pleasant feature of the service
was the charming rendering of the
solo. "A Garden of Roses" by Mrs
Sara Miller McNamara. During thf
reception which followed the eere-
mony, Mr.. and Mrs. Savage received
the congratulations of host of reid-
tives and friends.
The newly married couple received
many beautiful gifts of silver, linen
cut glass and china. Assisted by the
brides brother they escaped the
usual shower of rice and confetti ant
left by automobile for parts to then
guests unknown.
