Farmers in this section of central Yer.

dations of the food administration by
putting in an acreage of wheat are won
dering where they will get the cereal
ground. Reaping began on a large scale
this week and there are a number of
wheat growers who have their crop all
harvested. The farmers met with vary.
ing degrees of success but the outcome
of the experiment on the whole, tends to
encourage them to plant more wheat
next year. There is mill for grinding
wheat in Burlington, but most of the
farmers hereabouts expected that a mill
would be established nearer home Mont

seat of a wheat mill, but it is understood

equipped themselves as yet. It has been
reported also that farmers might have
an opportunity to take their wheat to
Williamstown for grinding.
