Sanaa Sept. IMS -DENTON RCCOKU-CEXONICU! g.2 WheatPlanting Time Nears In Denton County With planting time for wheat: the old Strains of Mediterranean drawing near, the problem of such as Denton wheat and "Blue- variety to plant poses a major Stem" Mediterranean. Austin Was problem lor wheat farmers. Using selected from crOss between Mediterranean and Hope, a rust resistant variety of spring whea.t. Vigorous Groirta Austin produces an upright, vig- and winter growth makes It desirable for a winter pasture variety but is less wlnterhardy than Mediterranean 1 ourous the present year's figure as a basis, here's how the problem chapes up.

These figures and information were suppled by the Denton Ex-. omml periment Station and Dr. I. M. I hich Atkins, agronomist.

The highest yieldng wheat in Denton during the past season has been Comanche. average yield has been 26.2 bushels to the acre. In 1946 the wield was slightly higher with an average of 31.5. In 1945 most of the wheat was caught by late freeze and the low that year was 13.4. The Comanche variety has maintained a 25.2 average over the 10 year periou.

Oro tai Tenmarq Comanche wheat was developed from a crosa of Oro and Tenmarq. In general characteristics it Is similar to Tenmarq, but differs in being a week earlier in maturity, more resistant to leaf rust, resistant to smut and produces higher yields of higher test weight grain. It produces flour of very high quality suitable for commercial bakeries, or for blendlnff with soft wheats lor family type flours. It should replace Tenmarq. where- ever that variety is grown.

The best quality wheat is the hard wheat, in that it brings a higher price from the miller, but the area around Denton doe? not produce this hard wheat. In an article by Keats E. Soder, director oi the Texas Oklahomi Wheat Improvement Program, he atates: Difficult to Sell "drain buyers and brokers in Fort Worth, say that they have had a very difficult time selllnc Texas wheat to Texas mills, and even more difficulty in nelling io buyers outside the area. In fact, the only sale that ran be depended upon, they tell me, is to the government for export. Accordingly, the Fort Worth Grain Exchange has passed a resoluton and is looking for someone to undertake the Job of analyzing lor variety every carload of a shipped into their local market They want to be able to sell at least a part oi the wheat to local markets." wheat in Denton County are Mediterranean and Austin.

Austin is a fairly new rust-resistant variety of soft winter wheat developed fo the blackland area of Central Tex- The United States annually his as. It is recommended to replace more than 175,000 forest fires. li vestock Men Plan Barbecue Friday Night Plans for the membership barbecue to be given by the Denton County Livestock Association are progressing, H. G. ftjrlander, sec retary treasurer of the associa tlon, said Saturday.

barbecue will be held at the Country Club Friday at 7 p.m. The association now has 220 members, and new members as well as old members planning to attend the barbecue are urged to notify Rylander by Tuesday, so the arrangements committee and the foods committee will know how many to plan for. Fred Freeman, Demon, was ap pointed general chairman i charge o( the barbecue at dl rectors meeting Sept. 2, and "ne In turn appointed Dr. Jack Skilcs anc Earl Foreman, both of Denton, to serve on the arrangements com' mittee.

Another particular favorite in Denton County with good i records is the Westar variety Westar wheat was developed (ron a cross involving Kanred, Ha Federation arid Tenmarq. It to is similiar to Tenmarq in genera' characteristics but produces high er yields and higher test weghts especially in the Panhandle Plains area. It is highly resistant to lea: rust but very susceptible to stem rust.

Westar produces flour of excellent baking qualities. Leaf, Stem Rusts Wheat disease also plays a big part In high production. Leaf rusi (red rust) and stem rUst (black Stem rust) are the Important diseases of wheat in Texas. are fungus diseases which are spread by tiny red spores anc are favored by frequent rains anc 1 heavy dews. Leaf rust attacks the leaves and leaf sheaths of the 1 1 plant producing small, round, sal a mon red pustules or spots which later turn black as the overwint- ering spores are produced.

The rust may occur in the fall, re ducing the value of pasture, or the spring when it destroys leaf tissue and reduces yield. The only practical control, the Experiment Farm is through the growing of resislani varieties such as Austin, Comanche and Westar. Stem rust attacks all parts of the plant bul especially the stems and leaf mid ribs where it produces long, narrow brick-red pustules or spots The red spores stage is the in fectious destructive stage i spreads from plant to plant: the same pustules later turn black as the overwintering stage Is produc ed. The only practical control is through growing resistant varieties such as Austin. Plant Your Fall Legumes NOW! We are prepared to take core of your planting needs for fall crops.

He worked hard oh rounding his farm into shape and he spent may long hours on necessary repairs to the farm buildings. Then last spring a freak twister hit his place end completely demolished his barn. Now he's going Ui have a brand new barn, built by the members of the vocational education class to which he belongs. The boys are nil young fellows just like Jackson, and they're all pitching in to give him. a helping hand.

They ask no pay, just the experience. And the time they spend on the project goes on the 13 hours month shop requirement. Eager to Learn There are classes like this all over the State of Texas. Young men eager to learn a vocation, eager to do something with their hands, and they're being offered that op. portUnlty by these vocational agriculture classes.

The men are all war veterans and they attend class twice a week. Each class is of two hours duration. In addition to this regular class lecture and discussion period, the veteran gets six and one half hours of demonstration teaching. In the case of Jackson, there are about 22 men helping on the barn.

Bicfc In depression days when thft market price on fat hogs was four cenU pound, as compared with th present 2t-cent market, the Jones brothers kept their interest In purebred hogs and-continued to reftsler their animals when many other were forced out of business by the light demand for purebreds. Zl Yean Jinks Jones' record as Poland China breeder started 27 years ago when he brought Lula Williams to his farm as a bride.

A white friend Of the bride's family gave her a registered Poland China Ollt already The following year Emory and Jones bought a registered boar and since that time Texas hog misers have always been able to buy a good foundation animal from one or the other of the brothrrs. Emory has confined his interest to Poland Chinas during the intervening years. Jinks has in addition to maintaining herd of registered Polands. tried nearly every other standard breed of hogs, but In recent years has eliminated all but the Polands, both black and Spotted. As well'as being outstanding hog breeders, the Jones family his made a name as show men.

Start- Ing In 1994 At the state fair nnd the following spring at the fat stock show. Jinks has -not missed phowlng in either of the major shows. Emory failed to Show in FOrt Worth one year only. Both have managed to show first prize winners In some class at nearly all of the shows. Emory last year showed the champion boar and the chamnlon junior sow In Port Worth.
