Higginsville POst:-"If the farmers Of La
fayette county get enough wheat for seed
from the present crop they will be satisfied"
The prospect for wheat in Lafayette county
is bad enough, but 1t is not as bad as our con.
temporary seems to think. There will be
more than enough wheat raised in this
ty to bread it,beside what is needed for seed.
Indeed there will be u little to export. 1t is
true that in some neighbOrhoods there Is very
little wheat, but In others there is q fair crop,
and IN some parts of the county there will be
quite an average one. In the Sni hills and all
along the river where the timber protected
the wheat there are fields that will make very
goods yields. 1t is true, however, beyond
any doubt, that in the winter wheat belt the
crop will be very light. Blu to talk of a coun'
ty which has exported over 5000, 900 bushels
Of wheat only raising enough for seed, means
Almost total failure, and that We will no
suffer. The cool, cloudy, wet weather of the
past two months, while bad for corn has beer
very favorable for wheat.
