PASS Il ALONG,

r. / ana one Of those people, when yox
know of a good thing, which will benz
eft your fellow man, TO pass it along.
Therefore am going to tell yen about
certain kind of wheat that has been
introduced and grown in the Marsh
and Zurcher neighborhood and in the
vicinity Of Russell and that wheat is
as follows: i 5r..z a
D. I. The best yielding and milling
wheat Of the Durum species Or family.
Rust resistant. IS .
Sow Marsh's whole crop of d. 1
yielded 20 bushel per acre. d. i in his
locality lodged badly and at harvest
time did not appeal to them as the
best wheat to raise because it lodged
and made it hard to harvest but when
the came to thresh it they discovered
to their delight why it was lodged
worse than other wheats planted on
same kind of ground and cultivated
the same, it outyielded Kubanka Gle
bushels per acre which naturally
made it lodge worse. -.
bought 35 bushels of d. / of Sam
Marsh last spring and sowed it on 27
acres of corn and millet ground and
just before harvest we had bad
storm of rain, hail and wind, which
Knocked it down flat and made it very
hard to harvest, whereby lost 2 bu.
or more per acre and 1 bushel thresh-
er loss and also 25 per cent hail loss
but after deducting those losses I
threshed $40 bushels of fine wheat.
Then I began to figure what that
wheat would have yielded had I not
sustained the above losses. $40 bush
els divided by ~, 80 bushels per acre,
plus 2 bushels harvester and enc BUSH
el thresher loss. SO bu. per acre that
represents "a of the crop ar re-
ceived rs percent hail loss, then if /
35 bushel is ga of the crop the whole
crop would be 46 2-3 bu. per acre
which is very big yield of wheat per
acre for N. d. -.
/ told one of my neighbors the,
yield I got and the hail loss and he
! said I had no right to take that loss
when / got such hig crop and that
was why our hail insurance was 50
high, hal hal suppose I'M his opinion
| if man had d 45 busheI crop and =
Is per cent hail loss lie sh1pid not
take loss but give it to the state or.
insurance companies. He said he
withdrew hail insurance, i told him
that was what made state hail insur-
anee higher instead ef men taking
their losses @e,1i ~ jaea .s ..
Maybe got off nay text q little.
but what I wanted 10 say especially
was that there are around t15, 900 bush-
els of d. wheat in the. Marsh and
Zurchel locality and 1900 bushels in
the vicinity Of Russell every bushA
of which should be planted next
spring in Bottineau and NeHenry
counties. #%@
The government experiments show
conclusively where pure bred livestock
and selected seed lis used there is
gain of from rs to 40 per cent over
scrubs and just any hind of sesi
grain .+@*5..
