NORTH DAKOTA. -. .+
Says the jamestown Alert: Several
years ago farmer named Buchan, living
near Splritwood Lake, secured from
some source few grains of hard wheat.
He planted it and cultivated it for seve-
raj years with rather poor SUCCESS, owing
to dry weather. He succeeded in rais-
ing, however, a few bushels of the grain
and in keeping it entirely separate from
other varieties. A year or 81, ago, Agent
George Smith, of the North Dakota Ele-
vator Co., secured few bushels of
wheat. He saved it in the elevator, and
this spring it was planted by John
Minear. a farmer living north of the city.
From three bushels of seed Minear has
raised eighty-seven bushels Of this vari-
city of grain, which as yess has 10 name
given it. The Fife wheat on the same
section OF Minear's farm has only yielded
eight bushels to the acre, while this new
and unknown variety has yielded about
thirty. Tne wheat is number one hard
and is remarkable for being heavily
bearded. The straw is tough and stout
and the berry itself is Of the most beau
tiful, clean and of singularly hard ma
ture. When cut in two it is perfectly
transparent all the way through. In
comparing the yiell and quality Of this
wheat with the ordinary seed, the differ
ence is remarkable Several we'll known
farmers of the county propose to uss
some of the seed hereafter.
