SMITH'S GARAGE Phone 329 McHenry ' felm St and Riverside Drive Tenmarq, Fair Example of American Type Produced by Hybridization; Pwnmrpfl lty the United States De**rtnMsn t of Agriculture.--WNU Service. Tenmarq, the new high-yielding, excellent quality, hard red winter wheal svhjch made \a good showing tliisv year in spite of the drouth, is a good example of an American variety produced by hybridization from wheats of >ther countries. Tenmarq, produced and tested by the Kansas agricutural • xperinient station and the United States Department of Agriculture, de rives its name from the pedigree nuni her of the maie parent, Ten-sixty-six md the female parent, Marquis. Ten sixty-six is a selection of hard winter wheat made In 1906 from a bulk lot of Crimean wheat introduced from Russia. Marquis Is, the result of ft cross made in Canada in 1892 between «n early ,ripening spring wheat from Calcutta, India, and Red Fife, a high quality- hard"* red spring wheat introduced into Canada In 1842 frojttJ, Dan x.ig, I'rufsia. '• V" Tenmarq also. Is ao excellent example of the procedure followed by the bureau of plant industry in producing and testing new varieties. The first cross of Marquis and .Ten-sixty-six was made in 1918. Several hundred selections of this cross were tested in the plant breeding nursery at Manhattan, Kan., until 1924, when the selection now known as Tenmarq was advanced to field plot tests on the agronomy farm. As It continued to show the ?ood qualities sought, It was tested at experiment stations In western Kansas, and at stations In Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and Nebraska. Tenmarq appeals to the grain trade, millers, and bakers, because It has Inherited many of the milling characters and "baking, strength" of Marquis, its spring wheat parent. Marquis Is considered in the flour markets of the world as a high standard for new varieties. Tenmarq Is superior to Turkey, Kharkof, Kanred, and Blackhull, old varieties of hard red winter wheat in yield, stiffness of straw, earliness, and quality, the characters of primary interest to farmers. It was grown in quantities" this year by 60 Kansas ^farmers and lived up to advance expectations, although the yield was affected by the drouth. Tenmarq is not so winter hardy as Kanred and "Turkey and is not recommended for northern Kansas or states to the north. F0fc SALE FOR SALE--15 Feeder Pifes, weight about 100 lbs. each.

If the process can be stretched out over several weeks they can be removed with little expense or effort. Fire is the agent used but several weeks of treatment are necessary before the entire stump is made Inflammable. The treatment consists of boring several vertical holes into the top of the stump, filling them ivitb saltpeter, and then adding hot water. 'The chemical will gradually be carried to all parts of the stump and as the holes empty they should be refilled. After about four weeks during which time the holes have been refilled about three times, the stump Is* ready to burn. Due to the saltpeter "f-the fire will even follow the deep roots and consume them. DR. HORACE S. BRADLEY . and DB. GERTRUDE a.

LARGER BUDGETS NEEDED Housewives in this vicinity are stretching their budgets in efforts to adjust their incomes to the increase in meat prices which have been noted during the past few weeks and if prices continue to raise it looks like many of us will, of necessity, turn vegetarian. The combination of the government agricultural reduction program and the drouth have brought about a rapid increase in tneat prices, especially pork, according to reports from packing houses and government authorities. . Since summer the prices have been climbing slowly all the way from hogs, beef and lambs alive .to the packers' wholesale price and finished cuts in the market. Packers within the Chicago area say that within a year the condition of over supply of mieat animals ha3 been changed to almost a shortage in many classes of animals. During the first week of January liye hogs averaged $7.50 per hundred, which is an increase of 117, per cent over the 1934 average of $3.49. , While the farmers are happy over the demands of the market because of better prices, consumers are complaining about current prices, after having purchased meat 'sjower prices Until receftt months. • / v ' INOCULATIONS TUESDAY On Tuesday morning, Feb. 5, at 9:30 a. m., toxoid inoculation against diphtheria will be given in the nurse's office at the high school.
