distances, but is still q remarkably high aver

Judge Chandler, of the Milwaukee road, is
back from his visit to the wheat regions of
the northwest in company with the Wiscon-
sin state officials. Judge Chandler is an old
Wisconsin young man himself, aud that is
how he happened 10 be with that excursion.
He knows some thing about grain, as does
also the executive officer of the state of Wis
consin. Gov. Rusk used 10 be farmer, and
he proved it by driving the four mule team
which pulled the excursion party out into
the harvest field on The Lsrimore farm That
was wonderful sight, even to party of ex-
sgricullurist The golden sheaves lay about
so thickly that the team had to be driven right
over them. 1t didn't seem to matter, though.
There was such an abundance the destruction
caused by making one wagon track did not
seem to excite any notice. Judge Chandler
cav fields Of oats that would produce 100
bushels to the acre, at low estimate. He
saw wheat that would produce thlrty-five or
forty bushels to the acre. Mr.. H G. DAVIS
brought tack some samples of wheat in the
stalk, showing as high as sixty-dve heads
grown from one grain of wheat. Judge
Chandler was especially impressed with the
Larimore farm which has $4,000 acres. Upon
that farm, at a distance of eighteen feet from
the surface, a bed of clean gravel has been
struck and low of as clear and pure water
as any one ever saw. The farm is owned by
Mesers. Larimore & Booth, two of the bright
est business intellects In st. Louis.
