FuIrx AND CLAwsoS WHEAr.-A miller in
this county recently expressed himself very
strongly against these brands of wheat, stat
ing that they did not make as good flour as
the old varieties. The Pennsylvania millers
seem 10 be of the same opinion, for at re.
cent convention held in Lancaster the follow.
ing resolution was adopted That this so.
eiety will discourage the growing of Fultz and
Clawson wheats. For milling purposes they
are not desirable and have been the cause
Of much of the complaint about our flour.
We suggest Lancaster, Old Mediterranean,
