Now, as stated in the beginning of this
article, In order to meet the growing de-
mand for wheat 1t would not only be nee
essary to improve the sell in the present
wheat belt, but that 1t is also necessary
to bring other soils into the production
of wheat That this can easily be done
there is no question in the mind of the
writer We visit sections where farmers
tell us that wheat cannot be grown. that
there is no use to- try it, etc. This reminds
us of what a Missouri farmer said, while
holding dairy meeting in his town:
You need not come here to encourage
the dairy business The fact is, sir, the
milk from a Missouri COW will not pro-
duce a good quality of butter" We can
cite the reader to a section where the
farmers said: I'VE cannot grow wheat"
Yet one enterprising farmer became so
interested In wheat growing that he set
aside and prepared eight acres. lining the
soil and fertilizing according to the re-
ouirements The result was that he har-
vested 300 bushels of fine wheat from this
eight acre field. So we may not only
increase the yield and quality of the
wheat in the present wheat belt. but we
believe that If farmers in many sections
where wheat is not being grown will fol-
low the instructions here given they will
he able to grow large crops of fine wheat
