Why Marquis Wheat is Recommended Marquis wheat is the favorite wheat because.it contains plenty of gluten of the best quality for bread making, and Tire is great danger that we may lose our prestige It matures from five to ten days earlier than other @ whents, avoiding that much danger from hot winds and When sown early, it matures early, which is im- portant in a rust year, and it, is not more susceptible to rust than any other good milling wheat. ~ i Marquis does not shell out and waste so badly as, Blue Stem, Fife’ and Velvet Chaff during harvest, even when Marquis is a beardless wheat and easier handled. than wheat with long awns.
