He has promised to get out of the way and give somebody else a chance, but of course if the electors are bound to have him he will yield to to their wishes. There isn’t as much enthusi- asm over him as he would like, but he will probably succeed in captur- ing the Liberal nomination. He is. however, much weaker among the v0ters than he used to be. One reas- on fer this is that South Grey cher- ished the ambition of being represen- ted by a Minister of the Crown, and in 1896 the doctor assured them that if the liberals won their wishes in this respect would be gratified. He fell down hard on that proposition, and the community thereby acquired the idea that he was a back number. On the other hand Mr. Matthew Richardson, of Flesherton, the Con- servative nominee, is a man of good standing, and well liked. He was in the County Council for many years and enjoys the respect and esteem of all who know him.â€"â€"Mail and Empire. " After life's fitful fever he sleeps well."

VARNEY. 0.. tf THE DURHAM CHRONICLE; In 1893, the Ontario Agrirui;m‘al College imported eleven varieties of winter wheat from Kansas, four from Indiana. one from Iowa. six from Ohio. etc. Ohe Turkish or Turkey Red, regarding which we are hear- ing so much at the present time, was one of the varieties imported that year and has therefore been grown at theCollege in each of the past seven years. We again import- ed fresh seed of the Turkey Red variety in 1896 and sowed both the Canadian and the Western grown seed in the autumn of that year. The results from the two crops in 1897 were slightly in favor of the Canadian grown seed but were almost indentical, there being a difference of less than one peck in the yield of grain per‘acre. . The annual report of the Ontario Agri- cultural College for 1698 gives the average of five years’ results of tests with each of forty-eight varieties in stren th of straw, weight of grain per measur bushel. and yield of grain per acre. It also gives the comparative hardness of the grain of each variety as determined with an apparatus similar to one invented by Prof. N. A. Cobb of Australia. The tabulated results on page 134 are fol_lo_\yed_b}{_a report of about The following are the average results of the field tests tor six years With both the Turkey Red and the Dawson’s Golden Ullafi‘râ€" 3000 words specially dealing with the rela- tive hardness of the grain of the varieties there given, including the Turkey Red, the Dawson's Golden Chafl', and the Early Red Clawson. Rather than recommend any one variety of winter wheat for Ontario, the College publishes from time to time the exact results of practical experiments and then allows those interested to make their own selections. The re it closes with the following remarks :â€" " ' ‘he varieties which the farmers are likely to grow are those which thev can usually harvest With the least amount of labor, and that will pro- duce the greatest financial returns for tneir time and labor in growing the crop. The requirements of the market, however, should be closely watched, and the aim should be to grow those varieties which will give the best results, and at the same time turnish that quality of grain for which there is the greatest demand. A careful study of the results of our experiments with winter wheat will greatly aid in this selec- tion. . \Vork is now being done in the Experimental Department with the object of improving the best varieties of winter wheat by means of careful selection and by cross tertilization.” The College Reports are printed by the Ontario Department of Agriculture Toronto. Ont., and are distri- buted from there to all who apply for them. In the winter of 1898-9, from 85 to 90 percent. of both the Dawson’s Golden Chatf and the Turkey Red varieties were winter killed.

The College Report for 1898 states that the grain of the 1‘urkey Red was harder than that of any other variety in the crop of1896 and that the grain of the Turkey Red and the Pride of Genesee was the hardest of the varieties mentioned for 1888. The Dawson’s Golden Chafi‘ was referred to as a softer wheat, and the Early Red Claw- son, as being the softest of the red varieties. Mr. Robert Harcourt of the Chemical Department of the College has been doing some work within the past two years in de. termining the gluten content and the bread- yielding power of some of the varieties of winter wheat grown in Ontario and as the wor k continues the results are becoming of increased value. Men of long experience in handling wheat differ greatl in their judgment of the value of the awson's Golden Chafl' variety. Within the past week. the writer invited leading millers of' Guelph. Galt, Preston, Berlin, and Bridgeport to pass« judgment upon the comparative value of two varieties of winter wheat for milling purposes. These were the Dawson’s Golden Chati' and the Treadwell. both of which were grown at the College this year. The judgmonts were made separately and resulted in three 01 the millers selectin the Dawson’s Golden Chafi' as the best an the other three selecting the Treadwell as the best wheat. The Treadwell sample must have been a good representative of the old time Treadwell wheat as Mr. S. J. Cherry of Preston, who has been in the milling ;business for many years, stated that he ' never saw a better sam 1e of the Treadwell wheat than the one swwn him. and the Goldie Bros. of Guelph considered it to be of extra good quality and. in fact. the very best of the 36 varieties of white wheats grown at the College this year. In the autumn of 1898. Mr. Peter Shirk. of Waterloo County, imported a car load of seed of the Turkey Red variety of wmter wheat from the State of Kansas, but as the wheat did not reach Ontario until very late only a very small amount was sown that autumn. A somewhat larger amount, how- ever, was sown in the fall of 1899. In order to ascertain the results from growing this wheat on different farms the writer recent- ly went to Mr. Shirk’s place at Bridgeport and was given the names of the ersons residing near Bridgeport and Ber in who had grown at least a tew acres of the Tur- key Red wheat this year. Six growers were called 11 on and the following gives the report ma 6 by each : Peter Shirkâ€"4 acres. very rich land. cro badly lodged. 25 bushels per acre. about 64 l 3. per measured bushel. Richard Quickfallâ€"4 acres, killed ofit badly in spots last winter, very bad straw resembling barley straw, estimated yield 12 or 13 bushels per acre. Moses Betznerâ€"lli; to ll§ acres. excellent wheat land Wthh formerly yielded 50 bush- els of the Fultz wheat to the acre. in 1899 plowed under a crop of clover and also ap- plied farm-yard manure, crop leaned badl , yield of gram this year 425 bushels. weig t of gram per measured bushel from the machine about 63 lbs. Menno Bowmanâ€"3 acres, clover sod, very weak _straw bexpg about ‘ one-half down, total pxeld .of gram 80 bushels. Elias Kplb-i-Q acres. corn ground, not as strong as some varieties, estimated yield 30 bushels per acre J. H. Shephardâ€"3 acres, badly winter killed in spots last winter, straw crinkled like barley. It will be seen from} the fOregoing reports that the results obtained from growing. the Turkey Red variety of wheat in Waterloo County and at tlge . Ontario Agricultural College are very sumlar. â€"â€"'â€"v vu-v 'V'J «IOU “VI-II ' ’ ‘1. l the season hasa much greater influence than the variety in determining the duality of the grain. Ivor instance the weigit per measured bushel of the Turkey Red was 64.5 lbs. in 1898 and 55.1 lbs. in 1897 and that of the Dawson’s Golden Chat} was 61.6 lbs. in 1898 and 53.5 lbs. in 1897. It will be re- membered that in 1897 there was an excep- Kansas Winter Wheat at The On- tario Agncultural College. ‘ We have found from our experimental work mth wmter wheat‘that very frequent- l-- LL- .-..-_-._ L__ A Turkey Red Dawson’s Golden Chafl’. tionally wet harvest and that a large amount of wheat throughout Ontario “as s routed that year. I understand that t iere was a large export trade from Ontario of flour made from the wheat grown in 1897 and this might have something to do with the reputation of our flour in the foreign market. \Vithin the past ten years. a good many varieties of winter wheat have been distri- buted to farmers throughout Ontario who applied for them for testing upon their own farms. Great care has been taken in the selection of the varieties for distribution and some kinds such as. the Jones’ Winter Fife, Bulgarian or Democrat, Pride of Genesee, Diamond Grit, etc... have been sent out owing to their quality rather than their yield of grain. Farmers have found, however, that all varieties would sell for about the same price per bushel and there- tore have grown those kinds from which they could secure the greatest profit, hence the reat p0 ularity of the Dawson’s Gold- en ‘hafl‘ wit the farmers of Ontario. The varieties to be distributed this year have again been carefully selected and two sets will be sent free b mail to farmers appl ring for them who wi lcarefully test the t ree kinds in each set which they choose and will report the results after harvest next year. l‘he seed will be sent out in the order in which the applications are received as long as the supply lasts :â€" Set 1, Dawson’s Golden Chafi', Early Genesee Giant, Stewart’s Champion Red. Set2. Dawson’s Golden Chafi', Turkey Red, Diamond Grit. Much additional information regarding the value .of the Turkey Red wheat for Ontario wrll undoubtedly be secured this year. Not only will it. be tested in the co- operative experiments throughout the Province. but as several millers are im- porting seed from Kansas an opportunity will be afforded the farmers of \Vestcrn Ontario to grow it- in large quantities and the milk-rs can then grind the variety by itself and thus he butter en- abled to determine its value for both the home. and the foreign trade, The results will be watched with interest, by both the miller-s and the farmers.
