WHlAr.-Wheat is beginning to
come in At the Elevator rather. more
freely. About 5000 bushels were t.
ken in the past week, and about N
equal amount, We presume, 1t tho "
rious mills. Tho quality average,
quite poor, not more than one bushel in
twelve coming up to tho standard d
No. l. The grades and prices have
ranged as follows: No. l, 81 80; No. 2
1920, No. 8, $l,l5; and for rejected,
IS cents to $l,10. ...:
From conversation With our millers
we learn that the experinece Of the
present year is al in favor Of the early
sowing Of wheat. The ground should
be plowed in the fall and the seed sown
sufficiently early in the spring to secure
its gcrmination aud roofing strongly
before the dry weather comes on. De
lay in this business is apt to cost the
farmer dearly. In this, rs in Other
matters pertaining to agriculture, the
institution Of Farmers' Clubs, for the
discussion aud mutual comparison Of ex'
perienoe aud results, would be found
very advaatayeous'-Fari6aun Re
