Fulton, who is farming the ranch OF
Silas Privett, near Kamiac Butte, has
made several experiments in the use OF
considerable wet wheat which he con-
templated using for seed; but in order
not to 90 to all the expense OF planting
and then be disappointed in the result,
he made a series of tests with the wet
wheat. and has decided not to plant it.
He discovered thaj from one-fourth to
one-third OF the wheat never sprouted
at all, but simply rotted away; while
that portion which sprouted was very
weak and unsatisfactory. The pointer
to farmers is a timely one, and should be
needed now. Those who have been
figuring on the availability OF wet wheat
for seed for the coming season owe it to
their best interests to make tests of the
grain, for by this means they may be
saved from loss next year"
