MAY BE AD AITED TO ALASKA
The Daily Alaskan has just re
ceived from the State Grain Inspec
tion Department at Minneapolis,
Minn., a sample package of Marquis
wheat, a wonderful new hard spring
variety that was recently developed
by l)r. C. E. Saunders of th© Cen
tral experimental farm, Ottawa, Can
ada. It is the result of crossing
an Indian wheat with Red Fyle. It
has been most thoroughly tested
out during the past four seasons in
the various experimental stations
in Western Canada and also by a
number of the leading farmers in
Saskatchewan and Alberta, and all
report It pre-eminently the best
wheat yet raised, yielding very heavy
crops and maturing at least ten days
earlier than Red Fyle, Preston or
any of the hard spring wheats. An
other characteristic which is of
great advantage to the farmer is the
fact that the berry clings to the
husk much more tenaciously than
any other variety of wheat, thus
saving the loss In handling which
is apt to occur in any thoroughly
dried wheat.
The first notable competition in
which Marquis wheat was entered,
was at the New York show last
year, when it won the one thousand
dollar prize given by Sir Thomas
Shaughnessy for the best wheat
grown on the continents of North
and South America.
On October 23rd, 1913, at the'
Int. Dry Farming convention held
in Lethbrldge, Alberta, H. Holmes
of Raymond, Alberta, was awarded
| the first prize on Marquis wheat
I in open competition with the world,
j This congress having the largest exr
i hibits of grains ever held on the
continent and Marquis wheat was
awarded the prize over all varieties
of wheat exhibited from Argentine,
Australia, India, Palestine and all
portions of the United States and
Canada. The uncertain climatic con
ditions of the Northwest compel
every wheat grower to insure Ij's
crop as far as ossible by growing
varieties of the earliest maturing
and heaviest yielding quality.
And the tests made of this re
markable variety have proven it to
be far superior to any other known
wheat in its enormous yield, and
adaptability to the soil and clim
atic conditions o* the Northwest.
A movement is now on foot to
experiment in its cultivation in Nor
thern British Columbia, Yukon Ter-?
ritory and Alaska and it Is within
the bounds of possibility that its
introduction into this northern > re
gion nay demonstrate that it. iUa.w
be successfully and profitably grown'
here, its early maturing taken in
connection with its proved hardl-.
ness furnishing grounds for the be->
lief that the summer seasons, xho'
short, may still be of sufficient
length to insure of Its being in con
dition to harvest before their close.

@ 1913, by American .» V
Press Association.
By LINDLEY M. GARRISON. Secretary of War
IT is absolutely essential for any;
nation today to maintain suffi
cient force to secure the carry
ing out of its decrees. We all be
lieve that the tendency of the
American government is toward
RIGHTEOUSNESS; that we have
no desire for aggrandizement, for
oppression or for taking away from
any one or any nation that which
rightfully belongs to it. But we
also know that it takes TWO TO
KEEP THE PEACE and that we
cannot safeguard the interests of
our people without the force con
Btantly ready to maintain and se
cure it.
FOR ONE THING, I THINK
THE PEOPLE FAIL TO DISCRIMI
NATE BETWEEN THEIR ABSO
LUTE HATRED OF BLOODSHED
AND WAR AND THE FUNCTION
OF THE ARMY IN RESPECT
THERETO. FOR THE FIREMAN,
THE PHYSICIAN, THE ENGINEER
AND FOR THE CLERGYMAN,
NONE OF l|S HAS WORDS OTH
ER THAN OF PRAISE AND EN
COURAGEMENT, AND YET FOR
THE SOLDIER, WHOSE VERY
PRESENCE IS A PROTECTION

FORTS IN OUR BEHALF, WHEN
FORCE IS USED AGAINST US,
ARE ESSENTIAL TO OUR DE
FENSE, The PEOPLE HAVE
EITHER A NEGLIGENT ATTI
TUDE OR VERY OFTEN ONE OF
DISAPPROVAL. I CANNOT ON
ANY REASONABLE GRIOUND AC
COUNT FOR THIS.
If it were true that the officers
and men of the army were SWAG
GERING BULLIES, seeking to
engage in war for war's sake, or
UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS who
brought disgrace upon the ui form
and the country, there wou 1 be
reason for this public attitud
But exactly the contrary is the
case. The army, both officers and
men, never was of higher tone than
today nor as high, in my opinion.
No eane man possibly can think
that a nation situated as is the
United States, with respect to the
world, could do WITHOUT ANT
ARMY. All stable government
rests upon the 'possibility of
USING FORCE to secure obedi
ence to its decrees. And so it must
be with nations until another day
has dawned and many of the ,attri
butes of men which now guide their
conduct have been changed for oth
er and different ones.
