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
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
blotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like a book, count 100 seeds
just as they run into the plotting paper, put
q strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold of the blotter, wrap it up in a piece OF
butter paper (greased paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in q glass of
water like a 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, so

This is important this year, because wheat
is badly shriveled and contains little plant
food. Take no chances on your seed wheat.
II the seed you nave is all right you are

MARQUIS WHEAT

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.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1917-02-01

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 Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1917-02-01

Safe farming is the best farming. First select the variety of wheat which is
best adapted to our soil and climate. Cut out the mongres and breed your
wheat up to its highest yielding and milling properties. Wheat is badly mixed.

TEN TIMES DEMAND
FOR CRAY FISH THAN
SUPPLY REPORTED

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 30.-Sec-
rotary Redfield announces that the
packers of grayfish estimate that the
present demand is tenfold the avail
able supply, and that one large jobber
in the Middle West has just placed his
fourth order since the fish was placed
On the market in November.
The avidity with which the retail
trade and the public have absorbed the
original pack has stimulated wide
interest among packers, and the Blu
reau of Fisheries is receiving inquir-
les from cannery men from New Eng
land to Florida and from Alaska to
Oregon. A number of these inquiries
are making experiments to test their
methods, and some of them have eX-
pressed their intention to pack the
fish in commercial quantities as soon
as arrangements can be made. The
Puget Sound packers now canning
grayfish are hampered by difficulty in
obtaining enough cans but it is evil
dent that grayfish will be come a COM
modify of considerable Importance
during the current year.
The Bureau of Fisheries is not only
lending assistance to the produced by
helping him to solve his cannery and
marketing problems, and by finding
uses for the by-products, but in CO.
operation with the Department of Ag-
riculture, it is studying the consum-
er's interests. The experiments have
rot been completed but enough has
been done to show that can of gray
fish provides about the same quantity
of nutriment as a can of medium
grade salmon, containing little less
protein and a little more fat. The
fats are digested in about the same
proportion as those of other animal
foods while the incomplete ANALYSES
show that the digested proteins will be
least exceed 80 per cent.
An interest results of the analysis
made by the Bureau of Fisheries and
confirmed by the foremost investiga-
tors is that this food is entirely free
from uric acid, small quantities oil
which are found in all meats, in other
fisheries and in all poultry. The pres
ence of this substance in the small
amounts found in other foods has mo-
the faintest significance from The
standpoint of public health, but the
fact that uric acid is wholly absen
from grayfsh may reasure some, WHIT
always hesitates to try new things
however low priced and nutritious.

Certain Part of Gambia Has
Long Line ofOlden Memories

admiral Francesca Morosini furnishes
one of the most stirring pages in the
history of Crete. This great capital,
one of the most distinguished of his
age, was a member of noble family
which furnished many doges to the
powerful republic. For eighteen months
he and his followers performed prodi-
gies of valor in an effort to drive off
vastly superior investing force OF
Turks under the vizier Ahmed Kuprili,
but after sustaining 10000 casualties,
killed and founded, Morosini capitulat-
ed in order to save the surviving inhao-
itants. For this surrender he was
courtmartialed but was very properly
exonerated of all blame, and lived to
redeem the prestige of Venice abroad
by conquering Athens and all Pelo-
onnesus, in recognition of which he
was jubilantly acclaimed by the tall
ian populace and received the title of
Peloponnesiaca'.
Turks Gave Island "GOlden Age"
Turkish rule over Crete was not an
unmitigated misfortune. In fact, dur
ing the second quarter of the nine
teenth century wise and just Alban-
ian pasha, Gustafa, one of the most
brilliant statesmen of his time, gave
the island its golden age He encour-
aged agriculture, improved the roads
introduced an Albanian police force
and succeeded in stamping out one OF
the curses of the country-brigandage.

expected under average conditions. A
well-cared-for acre of lemon grass
should yield, it is said, about 81
pounds. or a gross income of $2S an
acre. After the first year the expense
of growing the grass and distilling the
oil is estimated at approximately ST.
an acre. In this estimate, however, II
is pointed out, no allowance is made
for such charges as taxes, insurance
interest, or depreciation of OUTFIT
These items are of sufficient import
ance to make it doubtful whether the
production of lemon-grass oil by itself
can be recommended. AS has been
said, it would be better to grow the
crop in connection with other volatile
oils.

LEMON GRASS OIL IS
SUBJECT FOR UNCLE
SAM s ADVICE NOW

y WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 30.-The
attention of growers of volatile oil
plants is called to the possibilities of
profit in the production of lemon
grass oil in new publication of the
L. S. Department of Agriculture, Bull
letin No. 442. Because of the overhead
charges for a plant which will be in
use only a few weeks in the year, the
production of lemon-grass oil by itself,
it is said, probably will not be profit
able, but by growing it in conjunction
with other volatile oil plants, long
distilling season may be attained and
greater use obtained from the distill-
ing plant
AT the present time about 100000
pounds of lemon-grass oil are used in
the United States chiefly in the per-
fume and soap industries. Practically
all of this oil is imported, most of it
being produced in the East Indies.
There seems to be, however, no reason
why lemon grass can not be grown
successfully in the subtropical por-
lions of the United States.
The plant does best on well-drained,
sandy loan, but it is suggested that
the high pine lands of the Florida pen
i2sula would be suitable Newly
cleared sandy pine land without an"
previous application of lime has given
good results. On the other hand,
poorly drained soil should not be used
The crop, it is said, may be planted
with safety where the temperature
does not fall below % degrees F. On
the sandy Florida soils experiments
have shown that lemon grass requires
rather more potash than other grass
es.
The first year, two cuttings can be
made, thereafter three harvests year
should be expected. Close cutting is
not profitable because of the low oil
content in the lower portion of the
plant
Commercially, the investigators OF
the Department of Agriculture have
had no difficulty in selling samples of
the oil produced in their experiments
n Florida at price equivalent to
that obtained for the better grades of
imported OIL Eighty cents per pound
is taken as the average price to be

-a9IAEEI
Aid of Women Asked.

1t has been suggested that the org
anized women of the state who were
very instrumental in creating public
favor Off the bill and instrumental in
its final passage, could further the
interests of the cause by working
now for the law. 1t is a notable fact
in the progress of the state that it is
not so difficult to change laws or make
laws, but there is frequently care
lessness in their enforcement Also
people fail to post themselves on the
exact substance of the bill and what
it covers.
The latter fact has been proven re-
Gently by the endorsement by both
mems and women's organizations of
proposed legislative measures looking
to public health which duplicate those
covered in the Ellis health bill, and
which, if it were enforced, would in
sure an immediate protection from
