farms near Ardmore

Mullen said:
The farming interest in particular
and the public in general will watch
with eager interest the growing Of
this wheat in this latitude
1T comes at a time when the world
Is especially in need Of this cereal
because it is conceded by all econom.
lists that corn and wheat, since the
dawn OF time are of all grains the
greatest benefit to the race, and since
wheat is the more paatable it is there
fore more valuable than corn from
the standpoint of human consumption ."
Mr.. Mullen will make an effort to
Introduce more of this grain in Garter
