There is a great demand for an in
crease in the acreage of wheat
and a just demand. Every farmer
no matter how small should plant at
least five acres of fall wheat. Flour
is nigh and will go higher. The de-
mand is greater than the supply,
therefore it is important that the
farmers make preparation now for
the planting of a wheat crop.
