This is a story of seven men who set sail in a. motor launch for a trip on the lake on Wednesday afternoon The launch named “Oberon,” behaved in a. fashion far removed from the meaning of its name.

Smith, the well-known Ag- ziculture Journalist in Toronto, visit him at his home and write the story. Another man needs to be mention- ed in connection with Marquis-Wheat Dr. AngUS MacKay, Superintendent of the Experimental Farm at Indian Head. Dr. MacKay had been extrem- ely anxious to secure a new variety of wheat with as good milling quali- ties as Red Rye Fyfe but which would ripen a week or ten days earl- ier and so escape some of the dam- aging frosts which semed to arrive a short time before Red Fyfe ripen- ed on the Prairies. LARGE DOGS tsvm or city unless properly and sys- tematically exercised or kept in a yard In 1920, when Marshall was pre- paring an Agricultural publication, he visited Dr. Saunders at his home in Toronto and succeeded in getting from him the only interview which the DoctOr has ever given with re- gard to Marquis Wheat and the part he played in it, nor has Dr. Saunders written anything, at least that has yet been published, witr regard to his work in this matter.

The death of Sir Charles Saunders in the cit . of Toronto the other day naturally recalls the story of Mar- quis Wheat and the contribution made to grain growing particularly in Western Canada by this eminent Agricultural experimentalist. Sir Charles Saunders has lived quietly in the city of Toronto for some- l'ifteen years as he was compelled retire from active work in connect- ion with the Dominion Experimental Farms on account of ill health, and so for some time has not appeared actively in connection with Agricultâ€" ural matters. ftedfar out into the lake before the breeze. “ I don’t think we were in any dan- ger” the orchestra member said “but it certainly wasn’t very nice. At 'the same time all animal lovers who feel sorry for the animals who through no fault of their awn but for lack of training and care become dangerous and a nuisance. There is to the extremist, a parallel in the bring up of children. The Honourable Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture, was acquainted with Dr. Saunders and particularly with the work of the de- velopment of Marquis Wheat on the Western plains. Mr. Marshal] went west in 1905 and it was two years later in 1907 that twenty-three pounds of the newly discovered Mar- quis Wheat was sent to the Dom- inion Experimental Farm at Indian Head 3.: that it might be multiplied on the Prairies. SIR CHARLES SA UN DERS out into the lake before the DOGS ARE MOST DANGEROUS ONTARIO ARCHIVES BOBCAYGEON INDEPENDENT TORONTO be up to quality. It was in 1887 that Dr. Wm Saunders became head of the Experimental Farms and sixteen years later his son Dr Charles E. Saunders, officially entered the ser- vice at Ottawa, but before that time he had been doing a lot of work with his father. As Red Fyfe was the best hard wheat then growing upon Prairies it naturally formed part of the parent ice of practically all they were mak- m: Labiratory tests were somewhat .litficult to make in those days and Dr. Charles Saunders said he had to ise vzry ordinary methods in mak- 'n;: his tests. He began in 1903 to fast the value of the crosses that had been handed over to him by his father. He decided that the best way to test the elasticity of the gummy substance of the wheat was to chew it into gum and then see how far it would stretch. He- declared that in the winter of 1903-4 he chew- more wheat into. gum than all the boys in a dozen rural school sections who, in those days, found a cheap 1nd somewhat satisfactory method )f producing gum. In all the wheat that he thus chewed he found a Val- Eety, which he and is father named “Marquis”, to be the bevsa of the lot, and so they began to multiply the grains of Marguis in a small way as only a few were available. He had al- so then to determine the milling and baking qualities of the new wheat. i order to stem the tide of the dust! storms only to find that the soil was' blown off the roots of the trees and 53 today on this farm these roots. can be seen exposed like so many winding snakes above the ground. To secure a new variety of wheat by crossing is a reasonably simple process and it is also compar- simple p1‘00955 and it is also compar- atively eaSy to make rough selections from the crossings. One of the dif- ficulties, however, is to get a new variety that will not revert to type but will remain fixed and will also early ripenver. and that it stood the gum chewing test better than all the others, they began the multiplication of this wheat, and as before remark- ed, 23 pounds of it was sent to the farm at Indian Head in 1907, and the following year another lot was sent to the Brandon Experimental Farm. Miniature milling- and baking out- fits were built and the greatest p05â€" ;ible care was taken to make the \aking' tests absolutely accurate. In 111 these tests Marquis easily lead he lot, and in some cases the volume )f bread produced from Marquis Wheat was from fifty to seventy- Tivep er cent over the poorer kinds Having thus decided that Marquis would make good bread, that it had high milling qualities, that is was an The story of Marquis Wheat from there on has been one continued ser- ies of successes. At first fears were expressed that it would not remain fixed and that a few years might change it back to some of the waste frrcm which it was produced, but per- haps there has been no wheat pro- duced anywhere in the world that has remained as firmly to its type as has Marquis Wheat. There were early frosts in the west in 1907, 1908 and 1909 and these heavy losses through freezing made everybody anxious to get Mfr- 1uis wheat which would‘ mature from Electric Wiring Bobcaygeon, I am in a position to do all kinds of electrical work, House wiring, Repairs, etc. First class wcrk-Pz-icese reasonale Agent for Washing Machines, Fri- gidaires and Electrical Fixtures Including [Saturday evening until 10 p.m. CRICHTON 45 Kent St. Lindsay Optometric Eye Sight Specialist Fred Aylesbury EVERY DAY in The Office About Your Eyes And GlasSes CONTRACTING See Ontario. a week to ten days earlier than Red Fyfe or other varieties which were being used. Mr. Marshall says he harvested his first crOp of wheat in 1909. }t was fall wheat and it was fozen, and such an experience made it eaSy to understand how everybody wanted to get the wheat that was earliest. Marquis was not~ the only Wheat produced by .Sir Charles Saunders as he has also given to the farmers Prelude Garnet and Reward. Prelude and Garnet produced a somewhat dark flour and, for that reason, have never been extremely popular. Reâ€" ward is a cross between Prelude and Marquis and is a trifle earlier than Marquis and hs very good milling qualities as well. Dr, Saunders ex- pressed the opinion in 1929 that Re- ward would be a very dangerous ri-" val to Marquis. In Eastern Canada the slugs are controlled by dusting the infested plants withhydrated lime in the ev- ening after the sun has gone down and the feeding commenced. Care should ibe given to the upper and_low- er leaves and the soil immediately surrounding the plants. Hydrated lime is effective only when in the form of a light dry powder. If it be- Dr Saunders was retired with a substantial pension which was but little compensation for the greatness of his work, yet, it was all that he desired. If Knighthoods were to be conferred on Canadians at all, that granted to Sir Charles Saunders would be the most highly approved. It has to be kept in mind that Dr. Saunders worked during a time when much leSS was known about ”the scicnce of agriculture than is claim- at the present time, but we usually find that men who worl: out achieve- ments such as he did have operated under more or less adverse circum- stances. It was gratifying that Dr. Saunders, though never in very ro- bust health, lived long enough to see the complete triumph of his work in producing the best variety of hard wheat grown anywhere in the world In any event this practical Agric- ultural Scientist has made the great- est contribution to wheat production of any man who has lived within our time. Garden slugs are always most a- bundant in wet seasons or in moist situations. They emerge at night hid- ing dring the day beneath the sci], and they feed chiefly on the under- surfaces of the leaves of beans, let- tuce cabbage, cauliflower and such like plants. The rasp off the epider~ mis of the leaves and: where the in- festation is heavy severe injury is occasioned. Like all other pests, these animals can be more easily controlled if remedial measures are applied when they are small and few in number. Accordingly the amateur gardener and the ccvmmercial grow- ers whose crops are being attached should give't‘ne matter immediate at tention. _.. ,Wflwc â€"â€"-- GRANTS ASKED 8100 GOVERNMENT AID FOR PENSIONERS, MORTICIANS7 ' PLAN A grant of $100 will (be asked for in order that thep ensioners may be given “a decent burial without the humiliation of pauperization after death, which often faces the relatives of the dead,’ he said Officers of the association wil in- terview Premier Hepburn as the re- sult icf a wire sent by the Premier to all association members asking for “full particulars” regarding alleged irregularities in Ontario hospitals in the releasing of bodies for burial.
