CERES BEST WHEAT IN
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA

Ceres is the best yielding wheat for
southern Minnesota, among the var
ieties recommended for this state,
and Marquillo is the most productive
for northern Minnesota. These two
facts stand out clearly in the results
of yield trials carried on for the last
six years at the University Farm,
Waseca, Morris and Crookston ex-
pertinent stations.
Grand averages of yields at all
four stations for the six years, 1926
80 inclusive, show that Marquis yield
ed "a bushels, Marquillo 26.8, Ceres
26.7 and Mindum 3O.5. At the Uni
versity Farm and Waseca stations,
in the southern part of the state,
Marquillo was outyielded by Ceres.
Marquillo yielded 27.9 at University
Farm and % at Waseca while Ceres
yielded 80 and Is at the same sta
tions, more than 2 bushels higher in
each case. In northern Minnesota,
the results were reversed, the yields
of Marquillo being 24.S bushels at
Morris and 31.4 at Crookston, while
Ceres produced 1928 bushels and 28.8.
The difference at these two stations
was slightly more than bushels in
favor Of Marquillo.
DR.. H. K. Wilson, University Farm,
one of the agronomists in charge of
the trials, calls attention to the need
for treating Ceres seed with copper
carbonate to prevent sinking smut or
bunt for which this variety shows
susceptibility. The treatment is also
advocated for the other varieties,
none of which are entirely immune.
Yield trials on Hope wheat, which
has received considerable notice from
farmers of the state, were carried on
at the four stations named during
1929 and 1880. The results show that
Hope is inferior to any of the recon-
mended varieties, being out-yielded
even by Marquis. Hope yields aver
aged 25.2 bushels for the years,
while Marquis averaged 26.5, Mar
quillo 27.1 and Ceres 27.S.

KNOW YOUR VITAMINS
By Miss Inez Hobart.

By Miss Inez Hobart,
Extension Nutritionist, University
of Minnesota.
"Store teeth" are a great invention
but-wouldn't you rather have your
own?
Some foods require force of 100
pounds for chewing, but the normal
adult has a good margin of pressure
and can exert ITS pounds with his
own molars. What are you doing to
keep the teeth Nature gave you? Re-
cent research proves that Vitamin C
is most essential in the growth and
maintenance of sound teeth.
What Vitamin C Does:
Promotes good health.
Promotes vigor.
Aids in keeping teeth in good con-
dition.
Prevents scurvy.
Lack of Vitamin C Causes:
Lack Of appetite.
Loss in weight.
Loss Of energy.
dlnQcrS CROWN.
Fleeing pains.
Teeth defects decay and pyor-
rhea).
Irritability.
Sallow, muddy complexion.
Lowered resistance.
Scurvy results when there is very
little Vitamin C in the diet.
Foods Rich in Vitamin C:
Canned or raw tomatoes, oranges
pineapple, strawberries, grapefruit
raw cabbage, and carrots are richest
in Vitamin C. Other raw fruits like
bananas and apples, and green, leafy
vegetables are good sources.
Very little Vitamin C is stored in
the body. We need to have a fresh
supply each day. 1t is easily destroy
ed in cooking and canning except
when there is acid present.
