The Kansas Hard Wheat Man.

H. T. Lawlor, who claims the honor of having made Kansas hard wheat famous, has been manufacturing flour for half century. The story of his achievement is told in The San Fran cisco Argonaut' in his own words:
 T purchased 35,0o0 bushels of 1t from farmers in Ellsworth County, paying 35 cents a bushel for 1t. Other wheat at the time was selling for 65 and 75 cents. I shipped it to John w. Kauf- man. at Bethalto, H.. who made the four. We guaranteed it to take the place of the best hard spring wheat flour and that it would bake by itself or blended with soft wheat. 1t soon spread. and the Northwest mills took hold and things changed, and Kansas hard wheat became known. But found 1t in Central America as early as 1851. then known as Russian wheat" !" Lewlor lives in New Orleans.
