Attention Farmers.
A new and early variety Of Spring
Wheat, called
BLANDlN FIFE WHEAT,
successfully raised on the farm of
James jerks, Clearwater, Mimi, and
after thorough experimenting is now
offered for sale in limited quantities
for seed only. This wheat was exhib>
tied at the great
Minneapolis Fair of 1878
in competition with twenty-six other
one-busbel samples, and was called by
Experts the very Best.
It only missed the first premium on
account of there being one sample that
was harder and nearly as good berry.
It natures in FROM
Six to Fifteen Days Earlier
than other varieties, yields equally as
we'll, and makes
Superior Quality of Family Flour.
By its early maturing the farmer
raising 1t may sometimes avoid the
losses by extreme heat and storms
which cost the State many thousands
Of bushels in the year 1873. Cores
poudence solicited. Circulars &c
furnished on application. Address
JAMES jerks, Clearwater, MINI.
