About Our Belfast Farmers,

Mr.. David Alexander owns farm within
the city limits, an acre of which was devot-
ed to wheat this year. It was as handsome
piece of grain as could be seen anywhere,
and yielded twenty-five bushels of excellent
wheat. But for the drouth good judges say
that the acre would have produced IS bush
els. The first figures are above the average
i'll what is known as the wheat region of
the country. Mr.. Alexander was raised on
a farm in the days when our people grew
their wheat and had it made into flour for
home use. He thought he would like to
have some bread like that he ate in boyhood.
and taking his wheat To Poor's Mills had it
manufactured into flour. 1t is not as white
as the article turned out by the great -four
mills, but it is sweet and wlolesome and
makes excellent bread, as the writer can
testify, having sampled a baking from this
Belfast flour.
