YIELD BIC CROPS
Grain Seeds From Western Can.
ada Do Well in Ohio.
Demand for Them 10 Bound to Add
Value to the Land Of Our North
ern NeIuhbor, Now to
Be Had Cheap.

A large area Of the land In several
counties In Ohio prepared for spring
seeding will be seeded with Marquis
wheat--a spring variety. This wheat is
imported from Western Canada. It was
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
90 great that one Of the largest seed
houses In the state, that has been pur-
chasing from Western Canada farmers
and importing It. has decided to pur-
chase large block Of land In that
country for the purpose of growing the
grain themselves. They will devote
q considerable portion of their West
ern Canada holdings to growing oats,
barley and rye. Their action Is
strong Endorsement of the product. For
some time past considerable quan.
tity of seed oats has also been import
ed. The prolific yield reported was
what probably gave an impetus to the
INTRODUCTION OF Wneat.
It was found, though, after couple
Of years the quality OF the oats, as
we'll rs the yield, began to deteriorate
when grown seed was used, making II
necessary for fresh importations every
couple of years. 1t is possible that
the same experience may follow the
growing of Western Canada wheat. In
fact 1t is quite probable, and the Ohio
farmer will find It necessary to import
every two years. -->
With the success that has followed
the Ohio farmers experiments with
this imported seed 1t Is possible other
states now growing winter wheat will
begin growing spring wheat. 1t may
therefore be taken for granted that
Western Canada, 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.
II is well-established fact that the
further north any product of the farm
can be brought to a state of maturity,
the more vigorous 1t becomes. This
has been proven In the grains that
have been produced In Western Can
ada; II has been shown In the devel-
opment Of its horses, Its cattle, Its
sheep and its hogs; also In its people.
The neighbor to the north really has
splendid future before him, and
many years will not have passed be-
fore the lands that are selling today
at much less than their producing
value will bring prices more commen.
surate with their true worth than they
do today. Think of lands that yield in
their operation profit Of from fifteen
to twenty-five dollars an acre a year
selling at figures less than $40 an acre.
1t does not require mathematician
to figure the percentage Of profit. 1t
Is unfair to these lands to ask them
to continue these profits for long. So
1t is safe to make the prediction that
In very few years they will place
themselves on a parity with other
lands that today produce less and sell

Navy blue tricotine gown and cape to
match affords one of the favorite
combinations.
pendulum Of fashion in the opposite
direction by being very scanty. The
cuffs are unusually narrow; In fact,
they are little more than facings. To
make this overcoat warmer as well as
smarter it Is given red cloth lining.
Linen of coarse weave Is used to
make surplice waistcoats for still
other topcoats. Marine blue is the
color most often chosen. and leather
collar and cuff in the same hue Is add
ed. One new motor coat that / saw
was of black and white plaided worst.
ed. 1t was loose. baggy affair with
raglan sleeves, and tan leather faced
the collar and cuffs. Another good
looking one was of champagne-col-
ored camel's hair cloth-the real
camel's hair cloth which Is so difficult
to procure now. The coat was swung
from deep yoke, and the collar,
which in this instance was of the
cloth, rumpled up around the ears In
becoming folds. Champagne-colored
silk with broad purple stripe made a
striking lining.
Humble Straw Makes Its Debut.
There Is n French coat that has
gone so far as to have straw collar.
Collars and cuffs of other coats are
adorned with landings Of tightly in
tcrlnced straw. This idea of trimming
clothes with straw Is rampant. The
other day / saw some tailored sport
shirts Of white linen, and under the
tucks In the front was set finely
fluted trimming of brown linen woven
so as to appear like straw. A prim
Eton collar and turnec-back cuffs were
bOrdered to match.
Why faille silk should be selected
as n material from which to evolve
sport clothes is bit difficult to say,
especially when there ure so many
beautiful silks of rough weave that
are made for nothing but this type of
dress. However, the fact remains
that faille and Angora have formed an
alliance to make some sport clothes
so good looking that we scarcely dare
question their practicabillty. One suit
that saw was of buff-colored faille
and had bands Of brushed Angora
down either side of the skirt, from
waistband to hem. The Angora,
which was light brown in color, encir-
cled the bottom of the short box coat,
and formed scarf collar just like the.
scnrfs we have worn on our sweaters.N
These loose. scarf-like collars are
much used.
Dove-grny silk made another suit
that Ind smoke-colored Angorn as its
trimming. Brick red elk was chosen
Tor cape. A straight strip Of the
faIIle was tnken and gathered to
hand OF gray Angora- Any one who
can use needle could ensily make
such a wrnp-nnd It was 20 pretty

An Indianapolis woman had her first

She spaded the plot herself and then
planted her seeds. Everything came
up fairly well in due time except the
potatoes, and they didn't come at all.
In desperation she went to friend. To
her she told of her failure to grow po-
tatoes. II bought such nice, smooth
ones" she ended her plaint. "and 1

friend.
