More Wheat Than Ever. - Reports
from many parts of the county indi,
cate that Morris county farmers are
preparing to SOW more wheat than
they have sown for many years.
Farmers who have sown wheat the
past four years have made money by
doing it. Last year and this have
been especially profitable. Of course
dozen years ago wheat raising fiz-
zled out in this county with great
fizzle but that is no indication it will
not do to try it now. And again 1t
may be that there are several years
just ahead when the wheat business
will not pay, but it does not cost much
to try and the thing may work all
right. Morris county ought to have
100000 acres of wheat sown this
year. ~ T7s.,-l. H. ,ss.a 49,
