SOME GOOD WHEAT YIELDS
Results from Marquis Wheat Grown by Farmers in This County
Directed by Better Farming Association.

to the Regina Station where rigid selec-
tion was given toward fixing the char.
acteristics for which the wheat is now
known. The wheat can easily be told
from other Fife wheats by its very dark
amber color and by the unusually large
size and peculiar shape of tho k%ernals,
they being as a rule shorter and larger
around than other wheat, the crease is
very shallow and the back of the kernal
being rounded rather than ridged.
When OWL under Identical conditions
with other Fife varieties, it has lnyari-
ably matnred from seven to ter days
before the other varieties and has given
a somewhat increased yield: the straw is
from two to three inches shorter and
very stiff. in fact, on the richest of land
it never lodges. This together with the
fact that it natures early is responsible
for its freedom from rust. The head
resembles the Fife wheat. being free
from boards. They usually are very
we'll filled which accounts for it's large
yield. at least accounts for its yield over
other wheats this past season, as in most
fields examined there was much Of it
SIX rowed and many heads showed eight
rows. 1t weighs heavy to the bushel,
several samples this year from the
machine weighed 60 to 81 pounds: 1t
grades the same as Fife at the elevator.
Another point and an important one is
the fact that 1t does not shell readily.
l wish to add the results of two tests
made in this county the past season,
which illustrates, under fair conditions,
the characteristics of this wheat. Carl
Amoth in Moscow, had 20 acres OF
fall blowing on old land, II acres he
sowed to Red Fife, 3 acres to Marquis;
the land was worked the same, and the
wheat sown on the same day, if any the
Marquis had the poorest advantage, as
it was on the highest land, it was ad-

all it has given you a satisfactory aver
age, by all means continue raising that
seed rather than be led into sowing "a
new variety of comparatively untried
merits. Always look specifically upon a
new variety, it is sometimes possible
through breeding and selection to de-
velop a slightly heavier yielding variety
but miracles are as infrequent in the
plant as in the animal world. Accord
Ing to my observation farmers seem to
require two varieties of wheat, n a
variety to SOW on summer fallow, or
other rich land, a wheat which will
yield heavy, not lodge nor 60 to straw
and come in early. Second, a variety
to SOW on depleted, weedy land, fall
plowed. Most farmers know this latter
variety, or will acknowledge it under
pressure but alt too few of them put
their knowledge into practice. The
variety which we want on this kind of
land is not a variety Of wheat, but a
variety Of barley or oats.
That the Marquis wheat is an excel
lent variety of wheat to SOW on summer
fallow is borne out by the fact that it is
coming to be used exclusively for that
purpose in Canada, and by the fact that
every farmer, who has given it a trial in
this county, agree as to its merits for
this purpose. To those u~nacquainted
with the history of the wheat it may be
said briefly to have originated from one
plant of peculiar characteristics, which
resulted from a cross between the COM
mon Red Fife and a wheat known rs the
Red India wheat. This first cross was
and the resulting seed was later taken

During my two years IN this county l
have found a growing complaint in re-
gard to the yield obtained from u
common Fife varieties of wheat and an
attitude on the part of most farmers to
accept any variety which is represented
toihave advantages over the Fife wheats
This may be due to a characteristic of
human nature to try new things, but is
no doubt due to a real need for new
blood in our wheat seed, which at least
would seem 10 warrant a consideration
of newer varieties put out and recon-
mended by Experimental Stations.
This sentiment on the part of the
farmers took shape during the past year
in the very evident increase in the
acreage, sown to the Durum, Velvet
Chat and Blue Stem wheats, as we'll as
the trial plots of the Canadian variety
known as the Marquis.
1t is not the purpose of this article to
deal with the advantages or dlsadvant-
ages of any of the above wheats except
the Marquis, which in my judgment is
the most worthy of consideration and
trial. At meetings held by the Better

that time the logic of taking up with

other varieties to enlarge the area on

Rich Copper Ore Found.

Prosecuting vein which has al ready been cut for distance of ninety feet and the end not yet reached, a crew of miners employed by the Horse Mountain Copper Mining Company is taking out ore assaying 76 S4 per cent copper, according to statement made by David Wilson, general manager of the company, who has Just returned from the mines.
 Over POO tons of the ore have already been taken out and there are thou sands more of the same high quality In sight. The ore is being taken from an open cut on what is known as the Blake properties, recently acquired by the Horse Mountain Company. This cut is Tn some thirty feet, and directly above 1t and running into the hillside is tunnel sixty feet long cutting the same vein of ore. The cut and tunnel combined crosscut the ore vein a total distance of ninety feet, and how much more remains to be seen.
 So rich is the ore that the greater part being taken out will be shipped directly to the shelter without being put through the mill. The ore will be hand sorted and the first grade shipped, the second grade being haul ed to the mill and crushed and con- centrated.
 Twenty-Five men are now at work at the mines, taking out ore and logging Lumber IS being cut in the saw mill and will be used in constructing addi. tional quarters for the men, it being expected that fully 100 will be employ ed there as soon as spring opens.
 During the past year the Horse Mountain Copper Mining Company spent over 5O,0OOS in erecting build ings, building roads and in actual de- velopment work in the mines. This represented cash outlay and much of the work done in the mines was paid for in stock, the miners prefsrrlns that to cash. This year the company expects to expend between 75,5O0$ ant 100, 0,000$.-Eureka Times.

New Strike Made
 at Ivanhoe Mine.

A strike of excellent silver-copper ore was made this week in a drift from the 200.foot level of the Ivanhoe mine. Foreman F. D. Valles brought the news of the strike to town, also some of the ore, which has not been as sayed yet, but which is said by men familiar with the Ivanhoe ore to be better than anything yet found in the mine. As the Ivanhoe has produced some good ore in the past, the new strike gives ground for the hope that the Ivanhoe will again commence shipping.
 J. E. Hurd, in charge of the opera tion of the Ivanhoe, in speaking about the new strike, was very much pleased at the find, but was unable to express an opinion as to the value of the rock until an assay had been made. That he thought the ore of very high grade was evident, and said he hoped the strike was as large as reported. Mir. Hurd said two shifts would be put on at once at the Ivanhoe, and the eA- tent of the new strike would soon be ascertained.-Santa Cruz Patagonian.
Mohave County miner., 1913-03-08

Because of the stormy weather pre- valing during the latter part of Feb ruary the Gibson Copper company was unable to get fuel from Miami to its plant, and as result the working force was reduced considerably. The management was greatly disappointed by the temporary delay, because of several rich lenses of ore recently eX- posed through development work, es- pecially ,hute of ore which was fol- lowed downward about fifty feev from the 3O0-foot level, fully five feet wide and of unusual richness. Because of the increasing scarcity of wood as fuel the Gibson company has decided to install oil burners at the mine to ob- viate future embarrassment of this nature. As soon as the fuel supply can be replenished the mine will in- crease in force to it's former mum Der. Globe Silver Belt.
