Some farmers are debating with them
selves about this time Of year whether
they had better SOW wheat or not. II is
quite an important question, for flour
comes at so cheap rate from the west
that it seems to be less expensive to buy
than to raise ones flour. But the numner
OF growers of their own bread in Maine
has been increasing Of late years and
probably will continue to increase. No
man is so independent as the farmer who
raises what he consumes.
