, Likes Gypsy Wheat Best Gypsy, a bearded variety, is one of the best varieties of wheat for the light clay lands of Newton township, in the opinion of C. C. Parbs, who has made a study of three varieties on his farm this yeat. The purpose of the study was to determine the value of Red Rock wheat, a very popular variety in Michigan, with the standard varieties used here. A three-acre field was used in this'trial and one acre each of Red Rock, Gladden and Gypsy were sown last fall under identical soil and cultural conditions. The yields and grades obtained this season are as follows: ' Gypsy—27 bushels per acre; weight per bushel, 57 pounds; 1% dock; grade No. 1; price per bushel, |2.09. Gladden —24 bushels per acre; weight per bushel, 57 3-4 pounds; 2% dock; grade No. 1; price per bushel, $2.07. Red Rock —24 bushels per acre; weight per bushel, 55 pounds; grade No. 4; price per bushel, $1.98. Gypsy outylelded the other two varieties three bushels per acre. Bpth the Gypsy and Gladden were plump and well filled, while the Red Rock was badly shriveled and off grade. Careful observation has coifcvlnced many farmers that the Gypsy is one of the hardiest varieties grown and that it may be depended upon in the low soils of this locality, but tor higher ground, the Poole is to be preferred on account of the absence of beards on the latter variety. Rosen Rye Averages Best In a report tunned in by one of the flhreshermien of the county, the average yield of common ry6 was ?.l bushels per acre. The average yield of Rosen Rye was 14 bushels per acre. While neither of these yields were profitable, they serve to illustrate the value or Rosen over the common type. On account of the ease with which rye, cross-polllnates, the country crops committee suggests that the seed from well protected fields be used this year. Fanners’ Meeting Postponed The North Union Farmers’ club will hold its meeting Saturday evening, September 13, instead of September 6, the regular meeting night./ Bay Noted Spotted Poland China Boar Paul Wood and, P. H. Hauter,

Marion townfchlp breeders of Spotted Poland China hogs, made a trip through White and Tippecanoe counties last week and purchased Rainbow, the herd boar of C. J. Gingrich, ipresldent of the National Spotted Poland China association. This animal is said to be one of the best specimens of the breed and has a long show Record. In a recent sale, his spring gilts averaged |265 per head. • Messrs. Wood and Hauter hope to develop strong herds of this breed, which is becoming very popular in this locality. Heifer Brings Fancy Price O. S. Bell of the Quality Stock farm sold a Polled Hereford heifer last week to an Illinois buyer for S7OO. This herd is coming to the front as one -of the strongest polled herds in the state, and Mr. Bell is expecting to make a decided advancement in the coming year, Including the showing of his animals at the various state fairs.

A heap of on a steamer coming into San Francisco harbor looked so toothsome that a customs inspector lifted one to admire it. Altogether they contained >lO,000 worth of opium.
