as a large per cent of them are
planting Marquis wheat this
spring. The Monte Vista
Flour Mills is furnishing seed
wheat from seed which they
obtained q year ago from the
Durango country. This was
raised on good ground and
runs a good test at the termi-
nal markets.
Last year, w. E. Kistler had
a yield of 50 bushels to the
acre of Marquis. John Hynds
had about seventy acres of
Marquis that yielded 421s
bushels per acre. The yield on
the w. C. Macy & Sons farms
was 42Ks bushels of Marquis
and 40 bushels of Defiance.
but the Defiance did not stand
as we'll as the Marquis.
The farmers here are plant
ing about l2O to 1875 lbs. of
seed to the acre, which we are
informed is about the average.
although in some places, 1876
to 14O lbs. is used.

Monte Vista Farmers viii Plant
Usual Acreage Of Wheat This
Year Marquis Variety Favored

(Which shall it be, Marquis
or Defiance?" was asked
Alvin Kezer, Agronomist of
the Colorado Experiment Sta
tion.
He replied: Where do you
want to grow it,"
"Oh, anywhere in our plains
irrigated regions"
Defiance, if it is pure seed,
will outyield Marquis one yea,
with another, but it has some
disadvantages. 1t natures later
and consequently rusts worse.
1t does not have so stiff a
straw. Accordingly, lodging
on rich beet land is prevalent.
The quality of the wheat is
not 50 good as Marquis. While
Marquis will not yield as well
as Defiance it natures earlier,
often missing the rust cpl
demic 1t has a sitter straw
than Defiance consequently it
does not lodge nearly so badly
and the quality is better. Be-
cause 1t does not lodge as bad
ly it may be harvested more
cheaply. Farmers accordingly
are increasing their acreage of
Marquis for our rich plains
lands under irrigation and de-
crsasinS their acreage Of De-
fiance. It Is . choice between
two excellent characteristics.
Farmers are generally choos-
ing the Marquis because it ID
better In quality. yields nearly
~ we'll, and stands up better.
II the southern market for q
biscuit wheat flour should
again be restored we could ex-
pect some return to Defiance.
Otherwise Marquis is bound to
increase because of the differ
ence of prices on the market,
making it bound to increase
acreage. With the same
price on the market Defiance
would probably again recover
y part of its lost acreage. 9th
erwise. we could expect to see
Marquis remain in the ascen-
dancy."
The foregoing is the opinion
Of the INTERCHANGEABLE ex-
perts who have gained tech
nical knowledge concerning
the characteristics and advan-
tages Of different varieties Of
grains. Inquiry convinces US.
however. that this opinion is
shared by majority Of farm
ers in the Monte Vista district.

To End SampIinp Loss.

1t is announced from Baton Rouge
that one of the aims of the Louisiana
farm bureau of the Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association will be to
eliminate the wasteful system of
sampling, which it is estimated costs
the farmer from three to six pounds
on each bale.
Government statistics show that
every bale of cotton under the pres
ent system is sampled from six to
ten times before it reaches the spin
ner causing the loss of several
pounds from each bale," Mr.. Kapp
said. "These samples, comprise city
crop that is lost to the farmer, but
which amounts to thousands of bales
annually in the great cotton markets
of the country. Export figures show
that many thousands more bales are
shipped out of each of these cotton
markets annually than are shipped
i'm
Under the sales system of the Lou
lsiana Farm Bureau Cotton Associa-
ton being organized, only one SAM
pie will be taken from each bale he
said, and these samples will be baled
and sold, and each member of the
association will participate in the
procedure in proportion to his hold
ings in the pools.

Riches and Tdleness.

A Massachusetts man announces
his intention to leave permanently
his native land and settle in England
because he ''is an intelligent and idle
man Of wealth. and does not find
here the congenial companionship he
Graves. The few idle rich we have,
he contends, are not intelligent. He
will go where he hopes to find idle
ness, riches and intelligence COM
bined. The reasons he gives for ex-
patrlating himself are not uncom-
pllmentary to the land he is leaving.
One who has no ambition other than
to idle away his time spending money
that another earned, presumably, can
be spared without noble loss.
Yet, will he be welcomed abroad?
II England needs one thing more
than another now it is doers. She
had surplus of idle rich before the
war, but war taxes and delay in re-
cuperatlon have decimated the num-
bers. A lot may be idle still but
many are not as rich as they were.
If there were nothing for one to do
after amassing wealth but to lapse
into idleness there might be less
eager chase after the dollar.
However, our richest men have set
the example of keeping on working,
They may divert their efforts to ci-
vic betterment, to building libraries,
to financing the search for remedies
for disease, if they let go of the en-
terprlses in which they have amassed
their wealth.-Monroe News-Star.

Oil Notes.

Oklahoma produces more high
grade crude petroleum than any other
single state in the Union. The latest
official figures indicate an output of
more than 100000 barrels a day.
The oil industry was founded in
1859 with one producer apd a maxi
mum output of rs barrels day. At
present there are $4,000 individuals
and companies producing oil and
the average daily output is nearly L.
100000 barrels.
only l6 years ago the maximum
daily capacity of the oil refneries of
the United States was $4,000 bar
rels; Today the refners have no diff
hculty IN handling upwards of g.
100000 barrels a day
The largest oil producing area of
the United States is known as the
Mid Continent field, embracing Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Northern and Central
Texas, Northern Louisiana and Ark
ansas. Nearly IS per cent of the
country's oil comes from this section.
1t is estimated that there will be
13,500,O0O gasoline engines in use
IN 1923. Figuring an average of
42O gallons of fuel a year for each,
the petroleum industry will have to
provide 5,970,000 gallons of gasoline
during the twelve months beginning
January l. At the present rate of
one barrel of gasoline to four bar
rels OF crude, this would require a
crude OIL production of 540,O00,OOO
barrels.

Live Stock Sanitation.

Milk is perhaps the most easily con-
taminated of all animal products, and
as it is so universally used for
human food, it's proper care is
of the greatest Importance. AS
strange as it may seem, the fact
remains, nevertheless, that almost all
the changes which take place in milk
are due to external influences in the
form of bacteria of one kind or anoth-
er, and as milk forms such a suitable
medium for the germs, they grow and
develop in it, and produce the results
which We know as putrid milk, sour
milk, filamentous milk, blue milk, ETC.
This being the case, it would at once
suggest the carefulness with which
milk should be handled after it leaves
the cow. The question naturally
arises, where do these germs come
from, as they are never seen with the
naked eye. MOI First of all, they are
microscopic; and second, they are
ubiquitous, which means that they are
everywhere present, although more SO
in the neighborhood of stables, sheds,
etc, where the surroundings are in
sanitary, and the cows kept in filthy
condition. 1t would astonish many a
dairyman if he could but see, under
the microscope, the sediment found
in some samples of milk; not only are
bacteria present, but surprisingly
large among Of COW manure, switch
ed into the milk pail by the animals
filthy tail, and hairs from the cows
body, both Of which are likely to be
carriers of the germ infection we have
spoken of. If the statement credited
to the famous originator of Method
ism, John Wesley, viz: that "cleanli-
ness is next to Godliness,' is true,
which we believe it is, it never was
more applicable than in the case of
the dairy, which comprises clean,
healthy cows; clean stables; clean
hands of healthy operatives; pure,
wholesome food; and the careful,
sanitary handling Of the milk unit, it
reaches the consumer.--Dr W. H.
Dalrymple.

More Gasoline Obtained.

In order to supply the constantly
increasing demand for gasoline it has
been necessary for the oil industry
to perfect improvements in refining
processes which would result in a
greater yield Of gasoline per barrel of
crude oil. Thus, in the early days
of the automobile, the average yield
of commercial gasoline from crude
oil was not more than II per cent
while today it is about 25 per cent.
IN 1909, 540,00O,OOO gallons of gaso-
llne were produced from 1S3,171, 900
barrels bar OF crude oil. In 1920, d.
882,000,0O0 gallons of gasoline were
produced from 443,4O2,OO barrels
of crude. In other words, with an
increase of only 142 per cent in the
production of crude petroleum, the
OIL Industry produces 8O4 per cent
more gasoline.

No Fence Law in Baton Rouoe

dissolved the injunction granted by
Judge c. K. Schwing of Plaquemine,

of East Baton Rouge from enforcing
the no fence ordinance passed by
the police jury of that parish some

For the benefit of farm associa-
tions and others handling freight in
car lots where the payment of demur-
rage is required for cars held loaded

portation division Of the American
Railway Commission has prepared a
list of legal holidays for all states of
the country, explaining that legal
holidays are not included in the 48
hour requirement. The 48 hours will
be allowed in addition to these dates,
the commission states, giving 72 hours
where a holiday intervenes between
arrival and unloading of cars.
The following holidays are included
in the list, as made public through the
news service of the American Farm
Bureau Federation:
Sundays, January l, New Years
day; February %, Washington S
birthday; July 4, Independence day !;
first Monday in September, Labor

NEED UNIFORM MARRIAGE LAWS
Thousands of Girls, Boys and I'M
beetles Allowed to Wed.

According to statement given out
in New York a few days ago, there
are in the United States today, 49,
600 girls, Is years old, legally mar
ried, 1900 boys, is years Old mar
ried; 5000 boys 16 years old married.
There is no minority age limit Tor
marriage in seventeen states.
nj nine states, the legal marriage
age for girls is fixed at II years
and for boys IA years.
There is no prohibition Of marriage
of the feeble-minded in nineteen
states. Where prohibited, the feeble
minded applicant may marry on MS
or her sworn statement of legal men
tai capacity.
In thirty-fve states there is no pro-
hibition Of intermarriage of the white,
black, brown, yellow and red races.
Inherited diseases cost $4,000, 900
every year for care of children OF
feebIe-minded, tubercular and di-
seased parents, whose marriage was
and would be now legal in most
states. Divorce, not obtainable on
any ground in one state, is granted
in another on evidence of bad tenn
per, of husband or wife:
A. J. McNeill, Jr., who is candi
date for congress in Connecticut, in
the course of an address few days
ago declared that if elected he would
advocate the passage of uniform mar
riage and divorce laws. He said:
"You all know the methods en-
ployed to procure a divorce and that
evidence legally good in one state
does not hold in another.
'In New Hampshire there are four
teen grounds on which divorce may
be procured, including desertion and
drunkenness.
''In Kentucky there are eleven,
joining a religious sect and an un-
governable temper being two of them.
In North Carolina a divorce is not
granted on any grounds. In Con-
necticut infdelity. fraudulent. con-
tract, wilful desertion and habitual
drunkenness are sufficient evidence.
"There should be national uniform
marriage and divorce laws. If I am
elected I shall introduce such a meas
ure in Congress. I would go further
and make it necessary for both con-
tracing parties to present certificates
signed by a reputable physician GER
tifying they are in good health and
free from transmittable disease.
domestic happiness, love of home
and family, the health of the coming
generation of children is far more
important in my mind than the tariff
and the rest of the political issues of
this campaign.
''It is not important whether I am
elected to Congress Or not, but it is
important that the women in Connec-
ticut organize and get behind legis-
lation of this kind vigorously"
