A large area OF the land I'm several
counties In Ohio prepared for spring
seeding will be- seeded with Marquis
wheat-a spring variety. This wheat ID
imported from Western Canada TWAS
about three years ago that the first Of
this seed was imported into the States,
and the result, watched each succeed
Ing year, proved that Ohio soil and
spring seeding was a success. The
demand for the seed has now become
so great TINT one of the largest seed
houses In the state, that has been pur-
chasing from Western Canada farmers
and importing II, has decided to pur-
chase a large block Of land In that
country for the purpose of growing the
grain themselves. They will devote
a considerable portion Of their West
ern Canada holdings to growing oats,
barley and rye. Their action is q
strong Endorsement Of the product. For
some time past a considerable guam
tity Of seed oats has also been import
ed. The prolific yield reported was
what probably gave an impetus to the
Introduction Of wheat.
1t was found. though, after q couple
Of years the quality of the oats, as
well as the yield, began to deteriorate
when grown seed was used, making Il
necessary for fresh importations every
couple OF years. 1t Is possible that
the same experience may follow the
growing Of Wester" Canada wheat. I'm
fact It is quite probable. and the Ohio
farmer will find 1t necessary to import
every two years.
With the success that has followed
the. Ohio farmers experiments with
this imported seed II Is possible other
states now growing winter wheat wiz
begin growing spring wheat. It may
therefore be taken for granted that
Western C2nada. in addition to its
ability to produce hundreds Of mil
lions Of bushels of wheat possessing
the greatest percentage of gluten OF
any wheat In the world, will shortly
be called upon to provide the seed
that will be grown on the additional
acres IN the United States that may be
devoted to spring wheat. So

further north any product of the farm
can be brought to a state Of maturity

has been proven In the grains that
have been produced In Western Can.

The nefghbor to the north really has
a splendid future before him, ana
many years will not have passed be-
fore the lands that are selling today
at much less than their producing
value win bring prices more
surate with their true. worth than they
do today. Think Of lands that yfeldin

to twenty-five dollars an acre a year

II does not require a mathematician
TO figure the percentage Of profit. 10
b unfair to these lands to ask them
10 continue these profits for long. So
It is safe to make the prediction that
In q very few years they will place
themselves on a parity with other
lands that today produce less aud selA
