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 a 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. 1t all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
1t contains bunt or Sinking smut and treat
your seed with f~ormaldehyde before sowing.
How much Of your seed will grow? 1t is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece of
blotting paper, wet it, fold II over in the
middle, to open like a book, count 100 seeds
just as they run into the blotting paper, put
q strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold OF the blotter, wrap it up ina piece oil
butter paper (greased paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in q glass OF
water like o lamp, put the test on top Of the
glass, do not let it dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open 1t and count so
many kernels strong, 90 many weak, 30

Missing AyiatOrs

Wellton, Ariz., Jan. 20.-Lieut. Col

i Robertson, missing army a~viatorst
exhausted from walking four days in
the wilds of Sonora, Mexico, without
food or water, were found yesterday
more than 80 miles south of the Dor

Lieut.. Robertson was brought here
today by the searchers. Lieut.. Col.
Bishop, too weak to walk, was left in
charge of four searchers in the
Rosario mountains where he was
found last night at 10 o'clock.
Two sandwiches and two oranges
each was all the food the men had
tasted since they left the North Island
aviation base at San Diego Jan. 10,
on their fight, Robertson told the
searchers.
Water, which they took from the
radiator Of the aeroplane after they
landed on the east coast of the Gulf
of California, was exhausted four
days ago, Robertson. said. They had
tasted none since, he told the search
ers.
Robertson was found yesterday
following the tracks of automobiles.
He was following the base of the
Clio mountains. He directed the
searching party to the Rosario noun
tains 80 miles farther south, where
he said he left Bishop the day before.
He had been travelling alone for
the last "a hours, he said. Bishop
had become exhausted and was I'M
able to walk.
Leaving Robertson in charge of
two of the searchers, other members
of the party passed southwark and
found Bishop lying on the ground in
a mountain pass. He was unable to
talk and barely able to recognize the
searchers.

MARQUIS WHEAT

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 a rule, unless we have
just such a year as last year, MAR
QUIS brings better results because:
1t natures from five to ten days
earlier than other wheat, avoiding
SO much danger from winds and
drouth. We may never have an
other year like last year.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1917-01-25

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 a bet
ter milling wheat.

Sing days caused considerable i'm

plete lack of rainfall was very detri-
mental, and in consequence the
growth of vegetation has been re-
markedly slow. There is generally a
poor stand of cotton; much was re-
planted, but is coming up poorly on
account of lack of sufficient moisture;
the crop has been we'll chopped out
Corn is somewhat better is we'll Gull

peanuts, and sweet potato slips are
doing fairly we'll; sweet potato slips
are getting quite scarce. Harvesting

poor one on account of the winter

on the cultivation of crops rapidly

The Storing Of Sweet Potatoes
7. n. Mediation, Professor OF Horti.
culture, State College of Aqri. {.

one of the greatest problems that
will confront the nation this year VIII
be the storage of crops after they are
produced. 1t is an easy matter for
the Georgia farmer to grow sweet
potatoes. 1t is a very common crop
and one that is grown extensively
throughout the state. The problem of
holding this crop over for winter use
is a vital question at this time.
Storing in hills and pits is not very
practicable We cannot afford to lose
this year the potatoes that normal.
ly rot under such conditions.
The most approved method of sweet
potato storing is to harvest the crop
as soon as it is mature, to thoroughly
grade the potatoes, throwing out all
the bruised, injured or rotting ones,
These may be Immediately used either
On the table or fed to hogs, if they are
not fit for table use. The good pota
toes should then be carried to a stor-
~NONSS' SHOULD
be made with dead air space in the
walls and with double roof. The
potatoes are carried into this house
and put on trays or bins in the sides
OF the house A stove is in the CEN
ter OF the sweet potato room and the
temperature is brought to from 80 to
100 degrees, where it is held for a
week or 10 days until the potatoes
have gone through their sweat. After
this the fire is allowed to go out .and
the temperature is kept between so
and 60 degrees. This may necessi-
tate fire being built in the stove
from time to time during the winter
lit may be rather early for this in
formation to be given out, but now is
the time for the Georgia farmer to
think about the conservation of mis-
food supplies through the winter.
The sweet potato house should be built
before the crop is harvested.
