New Courses Popular.

A new course at the West Central
School of Agriculture which is being
given by p. e. Miller, superintendent
of the school, is, proving to be one Of
the most popular and interesting
courses at the school. The course was
started with the beginning of the
present term and has large number
of students enrolled.
The new course deals with farm
marketing and includes the thorough
study of marketing conditions as vital
to the farmer. The class has taken up
the study of the U. s. Grain Corpora
ton and the marketing of grain as
done by the Chicago Board of Trade.
A study will also be made Of the CO.
operative marketing of potatoes and
dairy products Of the farm. In the
course the present privately owned
organizations are studied
as we'll as the cooperative enterprises
The strong and weak points of each
are compared and the solving Of the
various problems in connection left
to the students. Mr.. Miller is in
charge of the class.

Foresee Rust Proof Grains.

In their warfare on the black stem
rust of wheat, University of Mime
sofa scientists are doing much more
than trying to arouse public senti-
ment for the eradication of the COM
mon barberry.
AS a second string to their bow, the
plant breeders and plant disease spe-
cialists of the university are carrying
on experiments and investigations
which point to the early development
Of rust resistant or highly IMMUNE
spring wheats. DR.. H.. K. Hayes, of
the plant breeding section at Univer-
sity Farm, stated in recent address
before body of scientists at Wfnni-
peg, that the day was coming when
rust proof varieties of spring wheat
would be developed by the university
plant breeders for the use and ad-
vantage Of spring wheat growers.
THE discovery of biologic forms Of
stem rust of wheat" say DIR. Hayes,
has placed the problem of breeding
rust resistant wheats on a definite
scientific basis. Further studies are
necessary to determine the number
and prevalence of these forms. When
this is done, they can be used in de-
finite attempts to build up wheat var
ieties which are resistant to all forms
of wheat stem rust"
DR.. Hayes points out that many sue
cessful attempts have already been
made by scientists to control plant
diseases through plant breeding. For
the various wilt diseases, he says, Sc
lection Of resistant plants has. fire.
quently given very valuable results.
The early work of Bo1ley in North
Dakota, who produced wilt resistant
fax by selection, is well known. By
the selection of seed from resistant
individual plants it has been found
possible to obtain resistant races
which will give good yield on wilt
sick soil.
