PLANT MARQUIS, SAYS
DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE
Hardness and Rust Resisting Quail.
ties Big Factors in Farmers
Opinions of This Variety.

Marquis is the best variety Of COM
men wheat for nearly all of the hard
spring wheat belt, according to the
bureau of plant industry, United
States department Of agriculture. 1t
makes up nearly 60 per cent of the
total spring wheat in this area. 1t
was developed in Canada as an early
variety for use well to the north.
This earliness has enabled it to es-
cape to some extent the effects of
rust and drought. The short, stiff
straw also prevents lodging in wet
seasons. In 1919 it was damaged Sc
verely by scab, blight and rust in spite
of its early maturity. This seriously
affected its popularity. There is,
however, no better variety for yield
and milling value combined, depart
nent of agriculture specialists declare.
Growers are advised to grow it
wherever they can get clean, pure
seed of good quality. Marquis is a
beardless variety with hairless white
chaff and short, hard red kernels.
Other Varieties in Use.
The other principal varieties are
Bluestem, Fife and Preston ("VelveJ
Chaff"). Of these, Bluestem is most
susceptible to rust and for this rea-
son has been largely replaced by Mar
quis during the past six years. Fife
is preferred to Marquis by some
growers on "old" land in northwest
ern North Dakota, because it will
grow taller and enable harvesting with
a binder.
In the past eight years the price
Of good Durum wheat has been about
the same as that of good common
wheat. About one-half of the Dur
um wheat grown in the United States
is sold to foreign market. The pres
ent high rate of exchange has tenn
porarily reduced foreign shipments.
The domestic use of Durum wheat has
increased rapidly during the past dec
ade, but strong foreign demand is
necessary to keep up the price.
Variety for Arid Areas.
The Kubanka variety is best adap.
ted to all of the varying conditions of
the northern semi-arid Great Plains.
Arnautka and Mindum are best adap-
ted to more humid parts of the nor
thern spring section, and Peliser to
the higher and drier sections of Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado. Two
rust resistant varieties are Acme and
D-5. The Acme has been developed
only recently and is grown largely in
South Dakota. The D-5 is a red-ker-
neled Durum wheat, which is inferior
for flour and semolina milling and,
therefore, is not recommended for
growing.
The hard spring wheat belt includes
all the spring wheat territory from
the Rocky mountains eastward to Min.
nesota and Wisconsin.

How Diphtheria Is Contracted,

One often hears the expression, "My
child caught severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscepti-
BILE to the wandering diphtheria germ.
If your child has cold when diph-
liberia is prevalent you should take
him out of school and keep him off
the street until fully recovered, as
there is hundred times more danger
of his taking diphtheria when he has
cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger of diph-
liberia or any other germ disease be-
ing contracted.

did THEIR DUTY"

The Star has been criticised by some
OF its friends, because Of the above
headline, which was over the dispatch
Monday, telling Of the death of four
would-be lynchers at Lexington, KY,
when they were fired upon by soldiers
defending a negro who was on trial
for rape and murder.
Editorial opinion and headlines in
the Star do not always concur, but in
this instance they did, and we see no
reason to deny the fact.
When a woman is assaulted or muir
dered, or both, the Star approves of
her relatives and friends taking i'm
mediate vengeance on the criminal,
and if the woman or girl victim was
a friend of ours we would help the
avengers if they were anywhere near
US.
But after a criminal is in the hands
of the law. we are decidedly averse to
the private citizen trying to take the
matter into his own hands. This is
not because of consideration for the
criminal, but because it is mighty bad
policy to kill or wound good men In
order to hasten the punishment of g
bad one.
When we elect a man to Office. We
make him take an oath to uphold the
law; then if we strive by violence tc
make him break his oath, or try tt
kill or injure him because he won't
break it. we are criminal ourselves
Our peace officers are always oul
neighbors, generally our friends. Oul
soldiers are not mercenaries nor enc
mics, but our fellow-citizens, in arm!
for our protection. 1t is foolish a:
we'll as criminal to assail them fol
doing their duty. ..@
While the mob at Lexington wa:
trying to get at the criminal, he wa:
being tried. He was found guilty anC
sentenced to be electrocuted. So the
action of the mob was useless as wei
as in defiance of law.
| Assaults on women are offense:
that will always be in class by them
selves and will always deserve more
prompt and severe punishment thar
any other crimes. But even they d.
not justify mob killing or trampline
down law-abiding men to get at thu
l perpetrators.

Joe Earman of the Palm Beach
Post has put Bob Bentley, managing
editor of the Tampa Tribune, in his
hall of fame. He gives sketch of his
life and tells how he has risen from
printers devil to the highest position
on one of the South's great newspa-
pers. But Joe didn't tell, probably
because he didn't know, that Bob's
first Florida experiences were passed
in Marion county. He lived out at
Silver Springs Park, where he learned
to stick type on little populist pa
per. He came into Ocala one day and
applied to the writer for a position on
the Baptist Witness, of which we were
foreman. Bob was a bright-looking
boy, sand if there had been a few
dollars more a week for the Witness
payroll we would have taken him on
the force. 1t was only few weeks
later that the Star began to glimmer,
and he would have been just the boy
for it. But we had to let him go. and
he is, we daresay. a whole lot better

RepIant Your Lost Teeth.

When ones front teeth are knocked
out there is no need to leave them on
the floor, for they can be reinserted
by a good dentist.
DR.. III. NJ. Savery tells In the Ian
Get Uondon), of two cases, In each
of which several teeth were dislo-
Gated from their sockets. In one case
the teeth were placed in salt water
while the dentist carefully washed
out the sockets. Then they were
reinserted, a stitch or two taken
in the gums and the jaws were ban
daged shut so that the teeth bit on
a pad of lint. In the other case the
teeth still hung TO the gums. so the
sockets were cleaned out without de-
taching the teeth. In both cases the
teeth became solidly fixed and the
patients could use them for normal
biting in few months after the acct
dent.
DR.. De Witt c. Henry of New York
replaced not long ago the teeth of a
truck driver that had been knocked
out in a collision! The man had
picked his teeth from the gutter and
ran up to the dentists Office carrying
them In his hand.

The fact that the American Fedora
ton of Labor has come out with an
open declaration that it is going into
politics, to support those who favor
1t and oppose those who oppose it, and
probably put it's own men into Office,
need surprise no one. 1t is only what
organized labor has been doing for
years without declaration. And we
do not think that any fault is to be
found with the federation for an
noUncing and following this policy.
As long as the labor element depends
on it's votes, it is within its rights and
obeying genuine American principles.
The laboring men have right to
form separate party, to elect a pres
lcent and majority of Congress, if
they have the votes. They might i'm
prove on both the democratic and re-
publican parties. both of which are
rotten and disorganized, and seem to
have no policy except to waste the
peoples money. But the public has a
right to demand that the labor people
shall try to do these things in the
American way. If they try to carry
cut their aims in the manner advocat-
ed by their radicals-namely, setting
the established order of things aside
without asking the public what is its

itself up as ruling class with the
lives and property of the people in its
hands-there will be civil war, in
