other sections Of the country, where they
manufacture flour from winter wheat.
/ There is kind of wheat in the neigh
borhood of Pattevile, known blythe name
/ Of Parks Wheat" In The town Of Ellen
bero, it is known by the name of Ben
net Wheat y and in some other places
called Snowflake.'' IRA w. BkUNsoN, of
Millvile, has some of the same kind, and
possibly he has given it another name; but
Lit is all one kind of wheat, and it will ri
pen from six to ten days earlier than the
Club, which as general thing, the earlier
| the wheat the less likely to rust
| | will place the names Of the wheat
first, which think will make the best
-four. The Parks wheat, the Bald or Met
calf wheat, the Red River, and the Canada
Club. ANY Of these kinds Of wheat, that
will weigh from 81 to 81 lbs. per bushel,
and properly harvested, and taken care Of,
will make good superfne -four, that will
stand inspection in St. Louis, which place,
4 believe) will generally be the market
for our surplus flour. @
There may not be enough Of these kinls
Of wheat, Of a good plump berry, to supply
the demand for seed. If there is not
enough, don't SOW the shrunken, damaged
Canada Club; bullet every farmer who
has the means take his team and 90 to
Dane Sank, or Richland counties, or any
place hat has sandy soil, and buy the
/ best Can ada Club for his seed wheat
This suggestion can be carried out by a
majority Of The farmers, which will secure
a kind of wheat that we all know to be
good and will make good flour. If You
desire to try new kind, sow small guam
titles until you know that,it is good. In
