VARIETY TEST DATA
COMPILED BY STATION

Twenty-three cooperative nur
series for trying out differenr
spring wheat varieties, were car
ried OF last year by county extern
sion agents under the direction Of
the agronomy department at Mont
ana State college.
The tests were made in the i'm.
portant wheat producing sections
just been compiled by the agronomy
department. Sixteen different vari-
cites were tried in each nursery.
Supreme wheat proved to be the
best wheat for the western district.
The Madison county nursery and
the test plots at the Montana ex-
pertinent station gave an average
yield of sos bushels per acre. The
Sanders, Flathead, and Lake county
nurseries gave an average yield of
23.7 bushels for this same variety,
Sanders county reported a yield of
49.5 bushels for n of it's two nur-
series. Eastern Montana results
were not so favorable to this variety
and Supreme cannot be recon-
mended for use there.
Ceres showed up best in tests
in central and northeastern Mont
ana. In Judith Basin county this
variety averaged 25 bushels; and
in Phillips, Valley, Daniels, Sheri-
dan and Roosevelt counties, 22.3
bushels. Ceres is a variety that
was recently introduced from
North Dakota, and is particularly
suitable where combining is prac-
ticed and where rust is a problem.
While this variety has promise,
there is a possibility that further
testing may locate weakness hith-
erto unsupported. Farmers are
therefore urged to stick to Marquis
for the main crop. So far North
Dakota agronomy men hesitate to
recommend this variety.
Ceres has also proved a good
yielder in central and eastern
Montana tests, but was slightly
inferior to Marquis. Marquis
yields in Saltwater county nur-
sery and the test plots at the
Huntly branch station averaged
27.1 bushels per acre, four bushels
more than Ceres. In eastern
Montana at the Rosebud, Fallon,
Custer, Prairie and Wilbaux nur-
series, Ceres slightly outyielded
Marquis. The Ceres average for
this section was 20.2 bushels.

Editor Visits The
Agricultural Show

The Herald editor enjoyed a
visit last Saturday to the prosper
Gus city of Malta, capital of Phil
lips county. Saturday was the
concluding day of the four COM
bined corn, pure seed, and poultry
shows. Montana corn and grain
shows are the editors weakness,
now and for a long time since.
At Malta the editor had the good
fortune to hear an enlightenlng
talk by M. A. Brannon, the able
and earnest chancellor of the
Motnana state university, also to
visit with and interview him. An
other pleasant feature of the trip
was a call at the office of the
Phillips County News, published
at Malta, one of the best weeklies
in the state, and a visit with Mrs.
Facey, former member of the
legislature, and news writer for
the News, and Foreman Parker Of
the mechanical department.

COMPETITION IN WHEAT

Montana wheat growers may
expect severe competition from
Canada and other wheat producing
centers of the world, according to
information revealed at meetings
held in conjunction with the low
cost wheat production train being
held in northern and central
Montana, and which will appear
at Wolf Point, Jan %. Canada's
status as a competitor is apparent
from figures revealed by Paul v.
Carpenter, extension economist at
Montana State college. who has
made a special study Of the world
wheat situation so that the latest
information would be available at
the Montana meetings.
During the last 20 years, Canada
has increased its wheat production
from 112,0 10000 bushels to 800
600, 900, and nearly every bushel
of this wheat is in direct com
petition with the Montana output,
says the economist. A compari-
son of the United States and
Canada as to exports of wheat
finds Canada passing the United
States and becoming the leading
wheat exporter of the world for
the last three years.
Canada's position as a com
petitor is further enhanced by the
proposed construction of a branch
of the Canadian National railway
to Fort Churchill on the west side
of the Hudson Bay. Docks and
grain terminal facilities are also
being constructed with the hope
of completion of both railroad and
terminal facilities by the end of
1929. This will throw open an
enormous amount of new land with
export facilities equal to that of
growers in the Great Plains area
of the United States.
Mr.. Carpenters study of Argen-
tine wheat production leads him
to believe that country also may
be regarded as a competitor.
A%rgentine's exports for 1927 we're
about 20 per cent of the exports
of the United States, and wheat
production has doubled in Argen-
tine since 1913. This is a rapid
increase but not nearly as signii-
cant as that of Canada
Australian wheat production has
increased so per cent during the
last eight years, but Mr.. Carpen-
ter does not regard Australia as
a serious competitor because of
the severe droughts that strike
the country at rather frequent
Intervals.

awaited with great interest. Mr..
Mellon is a distinguished financier
