FIRST WHEAT PREMIUM.
The first premium for one-quarter
bushel of fife wheat was captured by
Baillie Nelson of Valley City, Barnes
county, and the veteran wheat raiser
Wyllie Nelson was in charge to explain
the origin of the variety, the yield, etc.
It was hard wheat, Red Fife, and the
product OF 10 bushel lot that originally
came from Manitoba and which was
awarded the first premium at the
Worlds fair. In 1890 the ten bushels
were sowed on eight acres, and being IN
the dry belt that season only l64 bushels
were the product. This amount was
eowed on 1O3 acres this year and yielded
80 bushels per acre, weighing 81 pounds
to the bushel. 1t is a large sized beau
tiful, hard berry and easily took the
fret honors. Mr.. Nelson was an ex-
hlbitor last year at the fair also, and is
besides practical wheat raiser, intelli-
gently aRitating through the press and
otherwise the policy OF farmers uniting
and shipping wheat direct to London
and Liverpool. Mr.. Nelson claims that
farmers do not get all that English
| markets pay for our grain owing to vari-
Gus causes thai are attrlbutal to our
present marketing syste,n and to the
manipulation at Duluth and Minneapolis
