ToCrow Marquis Wheat
VIM. Bach, Pepperton Pioneer,
Had Gratifying Results

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Bach, we'll
known and highly esteemed pioneer
residents of the town of Pepperton,
took advantage Of the fine weather
Monday to come to Morris to finish
up the years shopping list and 70
spend the day with friends. Mr..
and Mrs. Bach have lived in Stevens
county thlrty-fve years and have one
of the finest farms and farm homes il
Pepperton.
Last year Mr., Bach tried little
experiment in raising marquis wheat
with gratifying success. Like many
of the old pioneers he had grown
partial to blue stem. Last year he
seeded three bushels OF marquis in a
low spot on the fields after having
been urged to do so by a neighbour
The new variety made such good
showing that the coming year he will
not only SOW marquis over a large area
but he will give more acres to wheat.
&" was told by one of the grain
men today" said Mr.. Bach, "that if
I had brought marquis wheat to the
elevator would have received eight
to ten cents more per bushel.

for which received $1.O4 yer bus.
hel."
Many of Mr.. Bach's neighhors in
Pepperton have tried marquis wheat
aud are we'll pleased with it as far as
yield, grades and prices are concerned.
Many of them, however, are turning
to stock and corn and are prospecting
as never before. Since coming here
Mr.. Bach has seen many changes
in the country and farming methods.
He says climatic conditions have
undergone a wonderful change and
notes that the billiards which swept
the prairie in the old days have
been conspicuous by their absence in
the last dozen years. When he came
to Pepperton nobody dreamed that
Stevens county would 80 soon pass
into the corn belt.
