CULTIVATION OF WHEAT.

lay ard his labor. Our mountain streams afford
mill-seats-and tho perfec. IS fitness Of things
show at once that this is intended to be a milling
country. Several years back, the complaint among
the farmers was, that it useless 10 make wheat
when there not mills sufficient to bolt their
grain. The time has arrived that such complaints
can no longer be urged. Every mountain branch
has It's mill, where the wheat of nearly every
neighborhood can De ground. And although the
wheat crop increases Annually, there is machinery
enough in operation TO meet all its demands Our
enterprlsing townsman, Captain PENNYwIr, has
put In operation, in Van Buren,, magnificent
Steam Merchant Mill, which is capable of grinding
the entire crops of Crawford, Washington, and the
surrounding counties, without the help of tho nu-
merous water-mills scattered through the country.
that is to say, such crops have been heretofore
made. Our hill lands, whether hickory or post
oak-barrens champaign, it is now well known,
are the best kind for raising wheat. We possess
one advantage in Arkansas, over the " upper
country wheat growers. The wheat crops here
mature by the first of June, and our new flour can
be sent off to market a month earlier.
Our farmers could all better their condition, if
they would turn their attention. part to the cul-
tivation Of wheat sale crop. We can assure
them that the increase Of the wheat crop in this
State, unless very extensive indeed. cannot equn,
The home demand. In 1917 the wheat crop of
Arkansas was 900 600 bushels, which was shor,
257 600 bushels of the homo consumption. The
wheat crop has increased each year since, but not

lation. There is still deficiency Of near 800 900
bushels for home consumption; and there is no
limit 10 the market abroad.
Every farmer ought to raise some wheat-let
him experiment. He will see that in the cultiva-
ton of this grain, he will realize more actual pro.
fit for the same labor than can be realized in any
other way with the same amount of land and la
Dor. If every farmer would try the experiment,
the whole country would experience a correspond
