Marquis A Beardless Wheat.

Marquis is a beardless spring
wheat with hairless greenish
white chaff and a hard red kerr
rel. When pure it closely re-
sembles the old Fife wheat. 1t
grows to medium height rang
ing from % to 48 inches accord
ing to season. Marquis is gen.
orally two to four inches short
er than other wheats in the
same neighborhood. The heads
are short but generally we'll
filled, varying from 212 to A
inches in length which is about
one-half to one inch shorter than
other varieties.
The short straw is stiff and
stands up well. While it will
not withstand hail yet cases are
mentioned where other wheat
went down badly in driving
rains mixed with sleet and Mar
quis came through all right.
Marquis is an early variety
ripening sometimes in ninety
eight days, the average being
about one hundred and fifteen
days. This makes it three or
four days earlier than most of
the other varieties.

The Siberian railroad, he said, Is ip

Turning to the main issue. Professor
Lomonosoff said:
present conditions ON railways In
Russia are nothing but an Inheritance
from our shortsighted old government.
Two-thirds Of all our railways are
owned by the state, and to justify
itself from the true reproaches Of the
duma that our railways are uneco-

decided to raise their revenues"

In 1916 there were no less than 125

crossing accidents in this state alone.
Yet the number was greater in Ohio,
where 155 were killed I'm the twelve

amounted to 159. In the United States
last year 1896 persons were killed and
3.267 were injured in grade crossing
accidents, and OF the number fully 95
per cent were automobilists.

Doctors from near and far have stud

abnormal about him except his weight
They cannot explain his GUwth. His
enormous weight Is not dtie primarily

Mr.. and Mrs. w. q. Mccarthy. When
he was born, Aug. %, 1914, In New
York city he weighed nine pounds and
twelve ounces.
He Immediately began to gain at
such a phenomenal rate that when
he left the hospital with his mother
twenty;one days later he weighed thir-
ty-six pounds. A three weeks-old baby
weighing thirty-si pounds was an un-

He kept right on gaining until at nine

and now, although he will not be three
years old until Aug. 23, he stands three

In appointing the War Council the

lean public to support its work, issu'
ing the following statement:
! have today created within tho Red
Cross q war council, to which will be
intrusted the duty Of pondins to the
extraordinary demands which tho prss-
snt war will make upon the services Of
the Red Cross both In the field and In
civilian relief. The best way in which
to impart the greatest efficiency and
energy to the relief work which thIs
war will entail will be to concentrate
u In the hands Of O single experienced
organization which has been recognized
by law and by international convention
~ the public Instrume ntslity for suoh
purposes. Indeed, such q concentration
Of administrative action In this matter
seems TO me absolutely necessary, and
! hereby earnestly call upon all those
who can contribute either great sums
or small TO the alienation OF the suf-
fsring and distress which must inevlta-
bly, arise out Of this fight for humanity
and democracy to contribute 70 the Red
Cross. II will be one Of the first and
most necessary tasks Of the new war
council Of the Red Gross to raise great
Gums Of money for the support OF the
work TO be done and done upon q large
scale hope that the response to their
efforts will be q demonstration Of the
generosity Of America and the power Of
genuine practical sympathy among our
people that will command the sdnIra-

TO CONTROL PESTS
Remedies for Effective Check Must Be
Applied DAring Fall and
Winter Seasons.

After the corn-root louise, rootworm,
grubworm, and wireworm have at
lacked the cornfield, it will be too late
for effective control measures. Reme-
dies for these pests must be applied
during fall and winter. These insects
feed below ground and are most eifec-
lively controlled by fall or winter
blowing, clean culture and crop rota-
ton.
The root louise winters as the egg IN
the nests of the small corntield ant.
BY winter plowing these ant nests are
broken up and the ants, as well as the
louise eggs, are destroyed. The eggs
of the Northern rootworm are de-
posted by the beetle during fall in
cornfields and since the grub on hatch
ing the following spring will feed only
on the roots of corn, apparently crop
rotation is entirely effective. Some OF
the grubworms and wireworms require
two or three years to mature. They
winter in the soil where winter plow-
ing will destroy many. They breed
largely in sod. Therefore, if field OF
sod is to be used for corn in the spring,
plow it in late fall, if possible. Should
dry weather permit before freezing
weather is over, winter plowing Will
eliminate a great many of the insects
which ordinarily attack corn in the
spring.
