FARMERS TO BE SLOW
IN SELLING wheat
Last Years Price of $l.5O
Looms Up on the
Horizon
SEE ANOTHER
INCREASE SOON

From present indications, New
Castle county farmers are going to be
slow this year in selling their wheat.
The price of $3.50 a bushel received
last winter is fresh in thoir minds and
few will be satisfied with less. The
majority of agriculturists in this vi
cinity will hold their grain for devel-
opments.
Already the market has shown an
upward tendency for the new wheat
The first price of 1915 grain was 90
cents This advanced in a few days
to the dollar mark and then to S102
where the price rested for week.
Prices of S1O4 and s106 are now be-
ing offered for good dry wheat
The threshermen are busy through
out the county and all of the wheat
will be ready for sale before long
but 1t is a safe prediction that only a
small proportion of it will find It's
way within the next few weeks to one
or the other of the warehouses, unless
there should be a sudden and marked
advance.
The cat crop will he heavy and bis
yields are reported from all sides
The oats were taller this year than for
long time and whole fields with the
heads from five and half feet TO siN
feet in height could be seen in almost
any part of the county This will, Oi
course, give an abundance Of straw.
