MARQUIS WHEAT

If YOU could be shown that
by investing $264.W extra on
seed for your 200 acres of wheat
land that you could produce
500. 90 worth more wheat at
7Oc per bushel would you do it?
There are men even in the
West too slow to get themselves
Weakened up and out of the old
rut sufficiently to decide Yes
There were some who paid
twice that difference per acre
last year and were glad they
did-a number of h f r 5
Weakened up too late and found
they couldn't get the seed.
Took too long to think. Get
up early some morning to think
it over and decide to invest
1924. co at over $50 per cent in
terest and be your own custo-
dian.
Howard Holden, a progress
sive and alert farmer ten miles
north of Deloraine, made that
and much better last year. He
sowed in 1911-one bushel of
Marquis wheat per acre and
one and a peck of Red Fife on
his ordinary summer fallow
mot a babied up two by twice
garden patch) but his ordinary
farm field-under precisely the
same conditions and at the
same time. He cut the Mar
quis nine days earlier than the
Fife. and threshed Is bushels
per acre of Marquis and 10 bus.
Of Fife per acre. This year
(1912) he averaged equally az
we'll.
Mr.. Robert Price, another
farmer who was alert enough
to seize an opportunity while
others were making up their
minds, sowed one bushel of
Marquis per acre, threshed 20;
sowed one and aquarter bushels
of Fife and threshed 23-under
similar conditions of soil and
treatment.
On u estimate of 1884, on
200 acres we calculate sowing
acknowledgements bushels per
acre instead of one bushel per
acre.
We have given two Of the
very moderate claims of yields
for Marquis, but there are
farmers at different points in
both Southern and Central
Saskatchewan who claim yields
running up to 80 or even more
to the acre, but the practical
question a farmer will ask is:
How does this much talked of
wheat compare with the wheat
l am growing?' and that ques-
ton is answ cred by the exam
pies given above, and many
can be produced. Look
up the reports of the Expert
mental Farms, where also the
tests are made and compari-
sions drawn under identical
conditions of soil and rain fall.

What would it be worth to
you. Mr.. Farmer, to have your
crop ready to cut nine days be-
fore your neighbors. and ready
to thresh nine days before your
neighbors? Who would be the
first man threshed, and who
will get his grain on the mark
