Wheat In Highland.

1t will be short crop it is true
"a very short crop. The term
used by most farmers for express
ing it s-"faiIure." Yet we can
hear of some good wheat in the
county. Mr.. John J. Lockridge
of the Bullpasture has a very fine
crop, as good as can be found in
the county, if not the best. Maj
John T. Byrd of that section a. g
has fine wheat we understand. But
anywhere in this or the western
portion Mr.. E. A. Dudley takes the
lead on wheat. Several years age
Mr.. Dudley found in his field two
heads of wheat, remarkably large
and well filled, and he at once rec
ognized them as being different
from any he had ever sown. By
saving the yearly yield from these
two heads he at last had enough
to SOW his entire crop which is tire
present one. Thirty-four heads OF
this wheat, now at this office, weigh
four ounces. This wheat yielding
so we'll in a bad season speaks wei
for the new seed that MIR. Dudley
used such care in saying.
