new dainty. That year its output Of

Under the cottonwoods, in n boat

"Wen, let me borrow the boat to

The darkcy hauled in his line with
alacrity, the stranger jumped into The

rapidly out into the stream. 1t was
not long, however, before the hot sun
showed it's effect and the rover paus-

companion then seized the oars and
began rowing with great speed and
little apparent effort. Gasping in as

somewhat crisply:

ono Of the interesting things the

keen interest taken IN voting by num-
bcrs of dear old ladies throughout

captured the pennant. She walked to
the polls to vote, telling the election
judge she was "10G and healthy"
This is just what she meant, too, as
she does all her own h0usoworB and
goes about town without a cane. Her
appearance is described as heroic.
She is SIX feet six inches tan ana

OTTAWA, Canada. - Marquis
wheat outyields Red Fife wheat by
four bushels TO the acre. This is the.
statement Of J. II. Grisdale, deputy
minister of agriculture, based on re-
suits Of long series of experiments
at the government farm near here.
Red Fife formerly was the staple
wheat Of the Canadian prairies, one
Of the worlds greatest wheat pro-
ducing regions. Its prestige was
usurped five years ago by Marquis,
an earlier variety brought to a high
state Of development by Seager
Wheeler, Of Rosthern, Sask., "wheat
wizard Of Canada" More than half
the area sown to wheat in the prairie
provinces, according to Mr.. Grisdale,
Is now devoted to MARQUIS.

Assuming" said Mr.. Grisdale,
"that on ordinary farms the in
creased yield of Marquis over that IT
other varieties averages only half
that shown on the government farm,
the introduction of Marquis wheat
has meant an annual average in
crease Of something like 100000
bushels and has resulted in increas-
ing the value of the wheat crop in
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
in the last five years by over
$20,000,000 annually"
Agriculturists point out that Mr..
Grisdale's estimates are extremely
conservative. They declare that more
than three -fourths of the prairie
wheat lands annually are planted to
Marquis wheat.
