From 200 acres of grain of all kinds,
he threshed about 5000 bushels. He
raised some fine macaroni wheat that
averaged 30 bushels. He likes this
kind of wheat and has saved some ex-
cellent seed. He believes Marquis
wheat is good, but says one wants to
SOW it one the very best of ground, as
it does not go much to straw. This
kind of wheat, he finds, should be very
ripe before being cut, as otherwise it
is hard to thresh. Mr.. Bradwish, like
most of the other farmers, had trou.
BILE with wild oats on field or two
this year. He thinks he has found the
way to get rid of them. He plowed the
land shallow this fall, packed it well
which starts the oats. Next May he
will pillow the field again, going down
e deeper, and will SOW barley. This
e ought to get the field rid Of the wild
t oats entirely, he says.
