Mr.. Paris Gibson is commencing tt
SOW his 5Oacre wheat field, which is OF
the bench lands, about two miles from
Great Falls. OF this 5O-acre tract, a

this is the first seeding. The other II
acres have been sown in wheat the pas
three years and every year have produced
excellent crops of hard Fife wheat. Mr.
