Mans Conquest of
Climate

As we travel north toward the
Yukon, the summer season grows
shorter. Beyond certain point,
wheat cannot be grown. for it does
not have time to ripen before the
first frost.
Red Fife for years was the
standard wheat grown in Canada.
Then a government scientist de
veloped Marquis wheat, which
ripens a week sooner than Red
Fife. The wheat belt moved 100
miles further north.
A year ago a wheat wizard
brought out Red Bobs, a wheat
that ripens a week earlier than
Marquis. The wheat belt advanc-
ed another hundred miles toward
the North Pole.
Now comes Professor Thompson
with still another improved wheat.
1t ripens a week sooner than Red
Bobs. Again the wheat belt
knocks down the fences of climate
and pushes northward. Thomp-
sons discoveries will bring under
cultivation millions of acres of
land west of Hudson bay that un-
til now have been supposedly too
far north for wheat growing.
Amazing is mans conquest of
climate and weather.-C Colorado
