in their applications for chance to
go to the army training camp at
Plattsburg this year are being disap-

HOW TO SELECT SEED WHEAT

Why not unite upon MARQUIS, and cut
out the others? Blue Stem and Fife are
very good but it is better to grow the same
kind and get better price.
Screen your seed and fan out all trash,
immature kernels, weed seeds, wild oats,
etc., leaving the seed to be planted the
heaviest you have, with an equal amount
of plant food in each kernel, which will
cause it to mature at the same time, max
ing less waste at harvest. It all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
it contains bunt or sinking smut and treat
your seed with formaldehyde before sowing.
How much of your seed will grow? 1t is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece of
bIotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like book, count 100 seeds
just as they run into the blotting paper, put
strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold Of the blotter, wrap it up in piece of
butter paper Creased paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in glass of
water like lamp, put the test on top Of the
glass, do not let it dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open it and count SO
many kernels strong, SO many weak, SO
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-02-14

many dead; then let it grow for few days
on top of the glass and see if the sprouts will
grow two inches long before they wither.
This is important this year, because wheat
is badly shriveled and contains little plant
food. Take no chances on your seed wheat.
If the seed you have is all right you are
fortunate. If it does not test 80 to $3.50
strong you are in danger; find some neigh
Dor, if you can. who has good wheat enough
to supply seed for you and sell the seed that
you intended to SOW. Ask your County
Agricultural Agent or the Agricultural
Teacher in your High School to help you
locate MARQUIS seed in your neighbor-
hood, or ask your seed man to get it for
you, but be sure he honestly tells you where
it is grown. Do not get it too far away from
home. If the seed man cannot supply you
to your satisfaction, apply to your mill or
elevator. ALI of them have agreed in this
territory to locate proper seed wheat for
their customers. If they cannot supply you
write to Prof. Marley Champlin, State Ex-
pertinent Station, Brookings, s. D., or
Prof. G. P. Bull, Secretary, Minnesota Crop
Improvement Association. st. Anthony
Park, Mimi.
If you have any good Marquis wheat to
sell advise your mill or elevator.

Is the variety which has the best
milling qualities and makes more
and better flour, therefore brings
the highest price to the farmers.
The elevators and mills will pay you
more because the wheat is worth
more. AS rule, unless we have
just such year as last year, MAR
OUTS brings better results because:
1t natures from five to ten days
earlier than other wheat, avoiding
so much danger from winds and

MARQUIS WHEA T

Being earlier, Marquis escapes rust,
which attacks later varieties.
1t does not shell out and waste so
badly as Blue Stem, Red Fife, or
Velvet Chaff, during harvest. This
is true of it even when over-ripe.
The straw is shorter and sitter,
hence in a dry year it suffers less
from drouth and in a wet year it
suffers less from lodging.
1t contains lots of gluten and the
gluten is much superior to that Of
any other wheat, therefore is bet
ter milling wheat.

ALkAH IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully. II you want to keep your
hair looking It's best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which Is pure aud greaselessl
and is better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, cream,
lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust,
dirt. dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves the scalp soft, and
the hair fine and silky, bright,
lustrous, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
for months.-Advertisement.
