MARQUIS WHEAT
The New Spring Variety Not Recon-
mended Wherever Winter Wheat
Can Be Grown.

/ Marquis wheat has aroused much
interest in the United States recent
ly, about 100000 bushels being
harvested in 1914. This has produc
ed an abundance of seed and many
farmers have Deen considering the
advisabifity of growing this variety
in the future. For this reason the re-
suits of the Government tests of this
wheat, published in Farmers Bulle-
tin 1872, will be of special interest.
Marquis wheat, says the bulletin,
is a hybrid produced ON the Central
Experiment Farm at Ottawa, Cana
da. 1t is an early variety, ripening
from SO to 1875 days after sowing,
the average length of the growing
preiod in the northern Great Plains
being about lis days. This makes it
three or four days earlier than most
of the Fife varieties, the group with
which 1t is classed. Because of this
earllness. Marquis wheat escapes to
some extent the. drough of dry years,
the rust and fall rains of wet sea-
sons, and the early fall frosts. These
characteristics have made it especial
ly valuable in the prairie Provinces
of Canada. In the United States
they have not proved to be SO great
an advantage.
In tho northern prairie States, in
Guiding Iowa, Minnesota, and the
subhumid parts of eastern Nebraska.
and the, two Dakotas, the Govern
ment Investigators found that Mar
quis wheat slightly outyields the
groups OF spring wheat commonly
grown in the section. Where winter
wheat can be grown, however, it out
yields any spring wheat, Marquis in
cluded. The bulletin recommends
caution in discarding well-known va
rieties. and advises the farmer who
wishes to try Marquis to compare it
carefully with the other spring
wheats and to hold fast to that
which proves best.
In the semiarid section covering
most of the northern half of the
Great Plains area and including most
of Nebraska, the Dakotas, northeast
ern Colorado, eastern Wyoming, and
the eastern half of Montana, the dur
um wheats have been found to out
yield all the spring common varie-
ties, including Marquis. Here again,
however. winter wheat is decidedly
better than any spring wheat. The
Marquis is not recommended, there
fore, wherever winter wheat can be
grown or wherever durum wheat is
used. Elsewhere it is a safe variety
to grow and is especially we'll adap-
ted to central South Dakota, where
drought and rust often reduce the
yield of later-maturing varieties.
