MARTON EXPERIMENT PLOTS.

CONCERNING THE WHEAT.

"The wheats at the experiment plots at Marton have nearly all ripened," says the Jhuiawatu correspondent of the "'Farmers' Union Advocate." "To see them now is a complete answer to whether the Marton land is wheat land or not. Given certain conditions, there is no reason why very heavy crops of wheat should not be p-oivn. The question of which wheat is best must be decided after complete experiment haa i?;cen made. I was much taken with the Swedish pearl wheat," adds the correspondent. "It is later than the others, but has very long well-filled heads. The Red Fife is smaller than most of the others, which nre not vet cify; the Canadian Amber and Granadier (ft'Svalof wheat) look the lest. The IIL-nchcn barley, the man in charge says, has been most admired of all the crops; this is also one of the Svalof srrain*. It has a thin, graceful head, and each one exactly like the other. There is a good crop and tli« Blenheim farmers who make barley such a speeialU- should procure Hinie sned. Federation wheat looks ii railly food crop in the slook. The Comeback is lighter. Tht |>eas and fodder crops are looking really well."

To stand all the knocks and bumps vonr c;ms get ou their journeys to and from the factory, there must be no flaws in the making. The bottom especially --lionld be solid, i'.nd the lids must bo rain and dust-proof. The cans I innkn fulfil all these requirement-, and every lid fits every can.
