ONE WHEAT Grain IS
NOW 1000 BUSHELS
Wisconsin Expert Has State
CIamOring For It.
MADISON, Aug. IA.

MADISON, Aug. IA.
the privilege Of growing the new pure
bred Wisconsin hard winter wheat.
More than 100 banks in scattered
sections of the state have filed appli-
cations for consignment of the pedi
greed grain and this week George
Bartlett, secretary of the Wisconsin
Bankers association, announced it
may be necessary to cut down
amounts requested by many banks. 1t
is probable that far more than 1000
farmers will be growing the new
grain.
1--WE will have more than 100000
bushels for seeding when the crop
from this years quota is threshed,"
said Mr.. Bartlett. Farmers in every
part of the state are anxious to try
the grain which under four-year
test averaged 38.5 bushels to the acre
Other winter wheats, doing well, aver
age only about twenty bushels to the
acre. The new wheat is especially
adapted to Wisconsin growing cOndl-
tons and with a favorable season
should make a remarkable showing"
Professor r. A. Moore Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, is responsible
for the remarkable grain. The 1000
bushels available for seeding at this
time are the product of single seed
selected by him ten years ago After
battling against all odds, Professor
Moore this year offered the 4,OOO
bushels for distribution by the Wis
consin Bankers association.

 We have been reliably informed that since February 26, 1917, there has been shipped out of this copimun- ity and surrounding territory, hogs and cattle to the amount of $7,25O by one man; and by another, since March 10, 1917, amounting to $12,900, We believe ready market could be found here for these hogs and cattle, and we think it behooves every farmer, before shipping his cattle to other states, and tb other cities, to use ev- cry effort to dispose of them in Hot Spring county. At this rate the county will surely have hard time feeding herself Keep your cattle and hogs at home, as a time may come when the county will be called upon to take care [of her Citizens, and if the farmers have plenty of stock, and raise plenty Iof foodlstuff, we can live without the outside world.
