Harry Cavill. who lives nine miles
northeast of Modesto, brought some Of
the finest wheat that has been brought
into this town, on Saturday afteroon
last. 1t was volunteer wheat from land
which did not produce much last year
on account Of the drought. 1t was of u
| new variety that arrived from Australia
with some Blue Stem Australia, but is
| of a new variety which he will save fer
| seed wheat The heads are long and
plump and has three and four kernals
! to the mash. He believes that he will
have as good wheat on that piece Of
land as he had in 1880 which was the
banner yield ON the ranch.
