 MORE FINE GRAIN-L- ?. smith. who lives on tho Black CaAyon road. north of Phoenix, brought to the boald of trade room Saturday, some fine grain samples. One that attracted par ticular attention was a sneaf of beard ed wheat over six fcet nign that was planted in December and grown with out any irrigation except a todch of the Cave Creek flood. The remarI-a- bIe thing about this sample :s that the heads are unusually large and heavy. each one of them being stccied like the straw is at the root. Tn other words. where there is one head rhere are two. more smaller ones Jranch'p2 from the same straw and al are of well filled grain so that the yield must be enormous. There is no sign of rust in the field and while Jhere may Ee taller grain in the valley it is doubt ful if any field will return so large yield ;n bushels or pounds of grain. Another .----a brought in by MT. Smith is q sheaf of vOlun te1r oats O, er seven feet tall and in general appear ance better grain than most people get when they plant and try 10 raise #. MT. Smith also furnished two more wheat samples. one is club wheat, which does not grow tall and the other is plain beardless wheat. This spcci- men also has unusually long heads in dicating a large yield.
