TIE BEST WHEAT

Contrary to the common opinion,
seed wheat does not 'stlun out" It is true
that its quality will deteriorate and
the yield become smaller if left to it's
enemies Which are Inherent in the
wheat. ~
It is therefore important that con-
certed action should be taken to es-
tablish more profitable farming meth
ods..
It is. wise to establish the variety
best adapted to soil and climate In
almost every county Marquis wheat
matter With life and Blue Stem ex-
cept that they have not been kept pure
and the record will show that they
do not yield $50 well and are not so
safe, but taking everything into con
sideration, Marquis is the most desir-
able wheat. Velvet Chaff lacks bread
gluten and is too soft. Durum is a fine
wheat for certain purposes, but has
q limited market there being a de-
mand for not more than 10 per cent
of the total spring wheat crop. The
price of. Durum is often 20 to so cents
per bushel below the price of No. 1
Northern, Which in itself is argument
enough. This applies to the macaroni
durums which should not be confused
in any way with the so-called Red
SDurum crust Proof" or Durum Fife
wheat which has been making SO much
trouble and for which there is prac-
tically no market, and should not be
seeded under, any circumstances.

or piece of waxed paper around the
tests, leaving the ends open, letting the
cloth strip hang down like the wick in
a lamp, in glass Of water. This will
keep the blotting paper always wet.
Don't let the test freeze or dry out.
Always keep water in the glass. Read
the test after. seven days, separate into
three lots: Strong, those growing an
inch OR more; weak, those just start
ing with short stems; dead, those
which have not terminated at all.
This test can also he made in a wet
cloth or blotting paper in q plate. The
tumbler method is better because there
is no danger of it drying out.

HOME GROWN SEED

Repeated tests in the spring wheat
states prove beyond any question that
Marquis outyields any other spring
wheat and because of it's excellent
milling qualities is gaining very rapid
ly in popularity. ~
Being a better wheat than the other
Flies, Bluestem and Velvet Chaff in
most localities, a concerted action
should be taken to establish Marquis
as the standard wheat.
Homegrown seed if of a fair quail
ity, is better than that obtained from
a distance, although a good seed
brought from another locality is usual
ly better than poor seed grown at
home. Each farmer will do well to
keep his seed as pure as possible and
to select for seed a field which can be
kept free from weeds and other grain
mixtures. Every farmer ought to es-
tablish seed plot on a different piece
of ground each year and keep enough
seed for at least two years. Often
times seed grown from such a plot is,
worth lot of money.
If good seed is not available at home
or in the locality, ask your banker or
elevator what plans have. been made
to bring seed into the county or write
to the state experiment station. If
you have any 1913 seed do not sell it
at the. elevator but keep it for seed
and let your neighbors know that you
have some good seed. Don't sell any
wheat suitable for seed at the eleva-
tor for the market. Hold it for seed.
Somebody wants it. 4 Seed is scarce
this year.

If wheat has become heated or
mOldy in storage or from any other
reasons, it. may not grow at all or else
have only a. low percentage of germi-
nation. It is advisable therefore to
make few termination tests from diff
ferent parts Of your seed wheat. This
may be done by taking an ordinary
plotting paper folded like book. Wet
1t, open flat, count 100 kernels just as
they come, place them on one-half of
the blotting paper so that they do not
touch; tear a strip Of cloth about two
inches wide and ten inches long, put it
in the fold of the blotter, fold as be-
fore. Pile up your tests, wrap cloth

SPRING FLOWING

Spring blowing may be slightly shall
lower than fall blowing and should be
worked down Immediately. The sur
face mulch should not be too fine and
powdery in districts where blowing is
common. II too fine the rain may
puddle it and not penetrate SO readily.
An excellent seed bed can be. made in
the spring on fall blowing &C on spring
.disking followed immediately with
corrugated rollers.

(e) Head Of wheat infected with scab.
There are three serious diseases:
Smut, scab and rust. Rust cannot be
prevented by seed treatment. The
other two can. Damage from rust can
be partially avoided by selecting
good quality Of Marquis seed and by.
early seeding in order to get an early
maturity.
Blow out with a tanning mill as
many Of the smut balls as possible or
remove them from the grain by other
means. There are number Of ways
Of treating the seed with Tornado
hyde. Perhaps the simplest and most
successful method is to mix one pound
of common commercial formaldehyde
In forty gallons Of water. Provide two
tubs Or half barrels; raise one of them
on box higher than the other, which
may be on the ground. Fill the top tub
about half fill of the solution, then
pour the wheat in loose. Stir it around
until it is all thoroughly wet and the.
smut balls, trash, shriveled kernels
and many weed seeds will float. Skim
off the floating stuff and destroy it by
grinding it and feeding it to chickens
after it is dry. Don't feed it whole be-
cause many weed seeds, being indigest-
ible, will find their way back to the
fields.
After Swimming take a short piece of
hose, fill it in the top tub and quickly
throw one end of it over into the other
tub. This will act as a siphon and
draw off the solution. When drained
dump the moist seed from the upper

Kill THE BARBERRY BUSH

Wheat rust is hard to fight. There
is no treatment of the seed which is
any good. The rust spores winter on
the barberry bush. Every boy and
girl ought to know the barberry bush
and report every one left growing
There is no other treatment for rust
except to SOW an early variety as early
as possible.

ARMY TAKES CHARGE

At the outbreak of the fire the army took charge of the reservation and ex- cluded all except firemen and newspa- per men.
 Fire companies came from Camp Eus- tis, Langley Field Newport News, Hamp- ton and other towns. Guests of the ho- tel tonight were being cared for by army officers and others who have homes with in the reservation.
 The Chamberlin was built in the early eos by John Chamberiin. famous in flis day as proprietor of Chamberlin's, a res- taurant at Washington, which was the gathering place of men high in public life A seven-story frame structure, it stood on the water front, close by the fort, and in late years there was talk of razing it to make room for develop ment of the army post. But the hotel had become such vital part of army and navy life at Old Point that it re- mained.
 Before the war when the fleet sailed in and out of Hampton Roads the Cham berlin generally was filled with officers wives and the greatest naval assembiage came here to witness the departure of the American fleet on it's voyage around the world. ltst
 Army officers who took charge of the reservation immediately after the fire started said tonight the hotel probably would not be rebuilt, and certainly not on the old site.

joint statement of differences. Each prepared his own paper.
 The result of the sensation is As this bureau repeatedly predicted. From the very beginning, the parties took up the gage of battle and the verdict was a foregone conclusion. The republicans would stand by Admiral Sims, who brought the charges, and. the democrats would stand by the secretary who is 8 democrat.
 The report of the majority is regard eG as exceedingly weak. It states its case in the most apologetic language. It's phrases that the defendant, against whom they are directed must regard himself, if not hero, certainly a mar tyr.
 In the meantime the second inning is anxiously awaited. The secretary will certainly take the admiral to task. The falling of the blow will be an event of the near future. Its nature is un- known. But it is believed that the sec4 retary will make effort through one of the several possible channels not only to rebuke his defamer, but to reduce him in rank if not to dismiss him from the service.

 It was impossible tonight to ascertain definitely whether there was loss of life, reports of which came from two firemen active in the early battle to save the structure. One of these men stated that when he directed stream of water into an upper window he heard a scream from within. Another declared he saw for moment an elderly man accom- panied by an elderly woman appear at a window which was almost instantly obscured by smoke and that he did not sec them come from the building. In the confusion of the sudden alarm, the hotel register either was forgotten and burned or was locked in the hotel safe.

 The majority report laid stress on it's statement that no attempt had been made to ascertain the order of merit among those recommended for decor ations. This was most unfortunate" it added, and the signers believed com manding officers were best able to guage relative merit.
 Had such a policy prevailed" it con- tinued, "the subcommittee is of the opinion that the men most entitled to awards would have received them."
 Senator Pittman contended that the investigation was unnecessary because the naval award matter was being re- investigated by the Knight board by di- rection of Secretary Daniels, when the Investigating committee was appoint ed Like most congressional investi- sations of similar character" he said, it served no beneficial purpose
 "The airing of the personal griev- ances of an admiral and giving pub licity to critical and deprecatory state ments made by the admiral with re- gard to the accomplishments. of the navy during the war tended to ''be- smirch a glory never before ques- toned" Senator Pittman said.
 Admiral Sims believed, the senator said, that the distinguished service medal should only be awarded to a few of the highest officers in the navy, and that it would be cheapened by awarding it to junior officers and en- listed men.
 AWARD JUSTIFIED
 Criticising Admiral Sims for having made special point of alleged injus- tice to six members of his staff, Sena- tor Pittman declared that the award of a D. s. M to Commander D. w.. Bagley. Secretary Daniels brother-in- law. about whom much of the contro- versy settled. was justified. Tho sena- tor also assailed Admiral SimT conduct before the committed. which he said would lead a civilian to believe that the officer "was deeply impressed with British policies and practices" and moro familiar with British ideas, cus- toms and manners than with those oi his own country.
 Senator Trammell. democrat, Flori- da, in a separate report, said Secretary Daniels in changing recommendations made by commanding officers and the Knight board, was following estab- lished naval custom and the same policy was pursued by Admiral Sims with re- gard to the recommendations made tc him.M
 Admiral Sims criticism of Secretary Daniels, Senator TrAmmell said, i'm piled also criticism of Admirals Mayo Gleaves, Grant, Niblack, the members cf the board of awards and other naval officers, all of whom exercised theii | own judgment in passing on tho rec concentrations of subordinates. | The report said those officers whose duty it was to initiate recommends tions were recreant in their duty in SC far as enlisted men were concerned.
