TO DEMONSTRATE
SEED VARIETIES

ty are making plans to have seyera
farmers in their communities con
duct demonstrations on seed which
has been recommended to them
! through the Extension service.
Kota Wheat
In the west end the most favored
improved seed demonstration will be
Kota wheat which is a Preston
spring wheat on a par with Marquis
and is supposed to be the greatest
rust resistant seed raised in North
Dakota. There will be four or five
demonstration plots of this out this
coming spring and if it proves fa-
vorable both in yield and milling
quality and other characteristics as
it m recommended there will no
doubt be a big demand for it in por-
lions of the county where the stem
rust does the most damage.
Certified Spuds
Certified seed potatoes are also be-
ing boosted. The Irish Cobbler and
the Green Mountain seem to be the
most popular as a dry land potato
and a number of farmers in the east
end are getting certified seed OF
these varieties. These farmers will
be a source of high class seed to the
farmers who go into this work in the
future.
Huban Clover
Huban sweet clover which has had
a great deal of advertising by seed
houses will be put on demonstration
in a few localities. If this sweet
clover comes up to it's reputation it
will fill a place in our present crop
system as a high yielding seed crop
All Experiment Station data and I.
H. c. Farm in North Dakota do not
give it as favorable reports as do
the seed houses where it was prob
ably raised under the most ideal con
ditions. We hope, however, through
demonstration on a small scale, that
it will show its usefulness and come
up to it's reputation.
Kitchner Wheat
Kitchner wheat, a selection of
Marquis has given some great re-
suits in some of the experiment sta
in Canada. This wheat is a
result of a selection from a field Of T
Marquis made by Seiger Wheeler of
Saskatchewan and it only differs
Marquis in being somewhat
having a taller straw and a
.lavat spike. T
Victory Oats
Victory oats in some communities
S still in a demonstration stage and r
his year the ones who did not raise
oats are going to give them
fair demonstration in the commun-
ty. Victory oats last year far ex- :,
eeded the expectations in the west
rn part of the county in one par
ocular community. 1t will be ex-
to the other communities and T,
future demonstration gives it SUI
erior quality it will be pronounced
standard oats for this community.
Corn Demonstration r.
Many demonstrations in corn will
Ike place this year, more especially
18th the dent varieties which seem
be the best all around crop for ~
lis country providing it can be made
mature. Most crop project lead
s are planning on getting a bushel
so of the best selected seed Of -
lie of the three recommended dents
orthwestern, Rustler White, Min
13 and have them put on fair Er
st within the community.
