(Contributed by Ontario Department of 3 Agriculture, Toronto.) ] Following is a digest of Bulletin No. 878 of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture. Marquis wheat! was originated by Mr. Charles Saunders, Dominion Cerealist, Ottawa: That Marquis wheat is the leading variety of eommon wheat for grow- ing in the Northern Great Plains is the conclusion reached by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture as a result of varietal Experiments with spring wheat con- ducted at 11 field stations in the northern half of the Great Plains area chiefly in co-operation with the state experiment stations. Details of the experiments, including discus- sions on the principal varieties, how and when they come to the region, and t to distinguish them, are contained in Department Bulletin 878, Varietal Experiments with pring Wheat on the Northern Great Plains, issued by the department. Introduction to the United States. Marquis wheat was first introduced 'nto the piled States from Canada in 1813, but is now more widely grown than any other variety. It is shorc-sirawed and early maturing, which characteristics sometimes en: able it to escape rust and drought. =| resistanee to disease was developed in the Great Plains by severe losses which have cccurred racently; due pri ally lo drought and rust. mes been low, land values have continued to increase in about the same pro portion as in other sections. This i has increased the gost of produetion and, with a return to lower prices a £55 0 for wheat, ii is essential that the poorly adapted varieties be e¢lim- inated. . Hundreds of foreign varieties of wheat have © by the department and teste preliminary nursery experiments many of them did not show them- gelves fitted for culture in the semi- arid sections. These varieties were rejected and only the more promising ones were sclected to be grown in t plat experiments. * The Question of Yield. 5 In Bulleiin 878 the annual yields of the spring wheat varieties grown during sven years, from 19813 to) n for each station. ng common Sp been included in year.

Dear Lditor.--I read in the article un- der the pen name of ("Hired Man") and I think by his writings he must be a little gbove the average, and he gives his opinions with a little more skill than one would expect from such quarters as pen name denotes, anyway, | his remarks call for the utmost con- sideration, means whereby the farmer in these districts shall have a market for their produce. Our local store- keeper do their utmost in buying all they possibly can, but each year we ind that farmers are growing in ex- ess of what they can dispose of. Se as se distriels are comeerned, only way that I can see is Dy co- peration; It is the one big theme terated and reiterated throughout the lth and lenght of Canada espec- in the larger and more scttle' istricts. In our sparsly settled dis- viet we have not heard so much about this method of disposing of our pro- Never in the history of Canada have the agricyltural producer faced such a crisis as at the presen' time. During the war prices were high, when the war was over we expected a drop n prices covering all - conditions Lut never expected such a drop in prices of produce.

Simply by co-operat co-operative marketing, any body thal reads market quotations knows that Butter dropped 50 per cent in six | weeks, most people knew that this flucuati n of prices was due, at least t to the result of a mounoply of the market. I maintain the Covern- ment should do everything in its power to stop this gambling in food produete, and I do most earnestly atk the farmers to stick together. There s nothing too big for the farmer to in par t | tackle; if they do, I do not care how the combine or how big the rng, e of their production they can beat combine or ring in the world. Govern ments can do little by passing laws; get into the association whereby you can protect 'yourselves, such an as- sociation that would take your pro- duce and market it for you.

They have faith; if they have not who has? They have faith in our Canada; they have shown it when prices were falling and hardly knew to make a living; know not how > this depression will last but io mind the farmer who will come ough best is the farmer who hangs on--hangs on to his caitie; don no v give it away so that others make exhorbitant profits; hang to. everything, fight he combines.
