I HERE and THERE B I I | COUNTY AGENT KELLY g Henry Fossen of Wolf Point told me last week about some things in Valley county in connec tion with sawfly-resistant wheat. He said 400 bushels of Mida wheat is said to have been brought into Valley county and sold as sawfly resistant for seven to ten dollars per bushel. It looks like somebody is getting a poor deal because Mida wheat IS NOT sawfly resistant. It may have some degree of resistance to the Hessian Fly but not to the sawfly. Mida may have possibili ties here as a bearded spring wheat of acceptable milling qual ity. If anyone feels like paying seven to ten dollars for it on that basis, that is his concerp; but it deserves no special consideration for sawfly control. Frank Bertino of Culbertson was in the office this morning and told me of a report that there was some kind of wheat being sold as sawfly resistant in western Richland county. He wasn’t sure what the variety was, but thought it might also be Mida. The wheat now being distributed by the Montana Seed Growers as sociation which has been identi fied as No. 4188, and which has now been named Rescue, is the only wheat in this entire area that has proved resistant to sawfly. Even Rescue was damaged 7 per cent last year in a large number of tests where other wheats right be side it were damaged an average of 67 per cent. There will be 560 bushels of Rescue planted in this WIDE AWAKE Mrs- Axel Grimsrud Friday night many in the com munity attended the lovely wed ding of Miss Margaret Toavs and Thomas Heidner.
