w. S. Spearman, near Silver Street
sowed new variety of wheat this year
on three acres of land. He harvested
l4s dozen bundles and threshed so
bushels. And yet there are people IN
this country who say we can't make
wheat. This is good crop and we
would like for Mr.. Spearman to tell us
how he cultivated 1t, and how much
and what kind Of fertilizer he used

of wheat planted that made the yield.
The farmers of this country must make
more of their own flour, and such
yields as this will encourage them to
do it.-Newberry Herald and News.
