A large area Of the land in several

spring seeding was a success. The
demand for the seed has now become
so great that one of the largest seed

chase large block of land in that
country for the purpose of growing the
grain themselves. They will devote

necessary for fresh importations every

the same experience may follow the
growing of Western Canada wheat. In
fact it is quite probable and the Ohio
farmer will find it necessary to import
every two years.
