Samples of spring and winter wheat
which was harvested last week and
was brought to Cedar Rapids by B. H.
Knouf, d farmer residing near Norway,
show that drouths, floods, and storms
may come. but Iowa will have some
kind of a crop, and especially that Iowa
is coming back as a wheat state, and is
coming back to stay. Mr.. Knouf har-
vested a large acreage Of winter wheat,
and reports that the yield will average
thirty-five bushels to the acre at least
This beats the famous wheat states.
The winter wheat is not very large In
grains, but it is clean, has the finest
kind Of color, in short, 1t is first class
wheat. and will bring top prices. The
spring wheat, Mr.. Knouf says, will
WELD an average of twenty-av hnshc !:
to the acre. The grains are large,
clean. and have the desired color.
