Nant which will yield an average OF
forty bushels to the acre of grain

Although the wheat crop of the
United States is greater than that of
any other nation. the average yield 10
the acre has always been compare
lively small. Some years ago il did
not exceed twelve bushels. Taking
into account what Mr.. Burbank has
done in the matter of potatoes, apples
and plumS. to say nothing of flowers,
as 10 which he has almost wrought
miracles, we may easily accept at face
value whatever he has TO say in re-
gard 10 cereals.
Wheat flour has become so vital as
a food Of civilization that strenuous
efforts have been made to extend the
acreage and by more careful methods
