promising results in this country.
here about 1916, has proven one of
the best of these, both as to yields
and milling qualities. However, this
wheat is very susceptible to rust and
wheat scab, SO hat it has fallen some
what into disrepute in South Dakota.
Nevertheless when one gets a good
corp of Marquis it commands a good
price on the market. Red Bobs, an
other desirable Canadian wheat ma
lures from four to six days earlier
than Marquis. This gives it an ad-
vantage over Marquis in beating out
rust as oftentimes three or four days
will save a crop from destruction. Al.
though this station has no records
as to the milling qualities of Red
Bobs, it Is reputed to be rather de-
sirable in this respect. Ruby wheat
which Is rather widely advertised, is
an exceedingly fine Canadian wheat
which is anywhere from three or four
days to a week earlier than Red Bobs
in it's maturity. Prelude Is one of the
earliest Of all the Canadian wheats,
but has not given as good results at
this station as has some of the others.
The Kitchener wheat is slightly later
than Marquis in it's maturity.
None of these wheats are rust re-
sistant but some of this fault may
be overcome by their early maturity.
South Dakota experiment station has
all of these wheats planted at the
vcarious sub-stations for further OBJ
%servation In the hopes that it may be
able to solve some of the questions
Of the wheat growers of South Da-
kota as to which wheat is the best
for this region. The early maturity
Of Ruby wheat has prompted us to
plant several acres Of it for distribu.
ton this fall in small quantities to
farmers who may wish to try it out,
as many inquiries have been received
concerning it and the Red Bobs. Thus
far in our plot work this season it
appears to be the leading wheat fol.
lowed closely by Red Bobs. 1t is our
hope that more definite information
may be available at the end of this
season"

PROFIT IN HOLDING GRAIN

Farmers Dispatch-H. o. Herbrand-
son. agricultural statistician of the u.
s. bureau Of crop estimates at Water
town, S. d., has published some inter
esting figures on the question of
whether 1t pays to hold grain after
the harvest period.
Taking the eight years from 10000
to 1856, which he believes are about
normal, it is found that the average
increase In the price of wheat from
the low point just after threshing
time, to the high point in May has
been 16 per cent in North and South
Dakota and Is per cent in Minnesota,
The price of wheat averaged lowest
in North and South Dakota in Octo-
Der, and in Minnesota in November,
while for all states. May shows the
highest average prices. Corn prices
show an even greater increase, the
average for South Dakota being 80
per cent between December and
August; for Minnesota % per cent be.
tween the same months. For North
Dakota. which is not a corn state,
the increase was less. being only Is
per cent. the high point being reached
In June instead of August.
These facts r especially interest.
ing in view Of a statement by julius
II. Barnes several weeks ago before
a Minnesota legislative hearing that
the impression that money is made
by spectators in holding wheat is
false. Mr.. Barnes produced figures
purporting to show that operators who
purchased grain at harvest time and
held 1t for sale between January and
May would have lost thousands of
dollars.
Mr.. Barnes was refuting the asser-
ton that by means of future trading
spectators are able to pound down
the price in the fall and sell it at a
big profit when the price again goes
up a few months later.
They say figures don't lie, but there
is a serious discrepancy between the
figures and conclusions of the govern.
ment statistician and those of Mr..
Barnes. Although Mr.. Barnes did nc.
include the two years when the u. S.
Grain Corporation was in control cf
wheat prices, his figures did include
years Immediately preceding and i'm
mediately following the war, when con
dftions were abnormal. Those of Mr..
Herbrandson therefore are the more
accurate reflection Of the normal
trend of prices in grains.
This normal average increase Of Is
to is per cent in the price of wheat
from October to May is part Of the
toll taken by what the grain trade
calls the most economical and efici.
emit marketing system ever devised"
It y this Is per cent which the U. s..
Grain Growers. when properly and
fully organized. should be able to put

GOLF Is ON

The first golf tournament ever held
in Brookings county was started this
week by the Bookings Country Club
at their links near Lake Campbell. All
preliminary matches are to be played
off before Friday of this week. 1t is
hoped that the process of elimination
will have proceeded far enough next
week SO the final match may be staged
at that time. A large crowd Is ex-
pected out to witness the final match
between the two successful contest
ants. Handicaps for all players have
been computed, using Van Fishback
as scratch man. he being conceded the
best player. His mark therefore is
zero, and players averaging nearly as
low a score, have their handicaps
placed at 6 and s. H. e. Riley, E. Bby
and Coach West rank the closest to
Mr.. Nshback. The dubs at the game
are generally handicapped at 40. For
instance II Mr.. Fishback should be
matched with a man whose handicap
was 40. in order to win Mr.. Fishback
would have to beat him in excess of
40 strokes. The list of pairs In the

NEW WHEAT VARIETIES

Many Inquiries are being received at
State college from South Dakota farm
ers inQuiring as to what variety OF
wheat is the best for South Dakota,
wheat by guessing, they are quite anx-
ious to get all available information
along this line. Much inquiry is be-
ing made concerning several new Ca
madam wheats. In response to these
many requests. and for the benefit OF
other farmers interested, DR.. Arthur
L. Evans, associate professor of agron.
omy at State college, ventures the fol-
lowing information:
'Kubanka is one of the best durum
wheats which we have, although II
is a wheat which is not entirely rust
resistant. A selection from this wheat
made at the South Dakota experiment
station and known as Acme, is very
rust resistant, a good milling wheat,
and quite desirable as a durum wheat.
A wheat very similar to Acme selected
at the North Dakota station is known
as Monad or d.. These two wheats
are very similar and are quite insep.
arabic botanically. Another very rust
resistant wheat selected at the North
Dakota station Is known as DIS. This
wheat is a red durum and is Of rather
poor milling quality. Therefore 1t Is

 gram numbers that made the enter tainment at Mauk's Columbia theater
 complete. The entire program will
 be repeated for the last times today.
 Miss Hammerstein is seen as Mary

But circum- stances throw him into contact with some of his old companions. among whom is an old flame of his. di- Miss Hammerstein. as the young wife. Is informed of the matter. Does she immediately VOW vengeance or become hysterical over the matterg Most emphatically she does not. She lvery calmly but firmly seeks out her recreant husband and in a decided
 manner informs him what she is go- 1 ing to do. The scene Is not theatri-
 cal. but decidedly human and. in fact.
 in that lies its power. It is one of
 many such scenes in the play.
 A Prizma natural color film. prob
 ably the most beautiful and artistic creation of the camera. and Pollard comedy and a Goldwyn- Bray photo graph are other program numbers | for the last times today. Special
 music by the Columbia orchestra.

But notwithstanding how clever and funny the plot is, it takes second place to the many catchy and tune full melody numbers and the extem- poran comedy of Bob Greer and his fellow workers.
