Suggests Raising
Uniform Variety
Wheat by Farmers


STAMFORD, Texas, Sept. ia
successful Coleman County farmer
who annually grows a large acreage
of wheat and markets his products
in car lots at 5 TO l0c per bushel
above the general market price makes
the suggestion to the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce that II all
farmers Of a given section would
grow the same variety of wheat, that
the wheat would command better
price in the markets Also it would
find more ready sale. With a
dozen different varieties before him
and not sufficient quantity Of any
certain variety 70 ribs local mill, the
local buyer is often forced to dis
criminate in prices. Also tbs farmer
suggests that cotton farmers in par.
ticular regions should take concerted
action in growing staples Of cotton
of the same variety, since this would
also facilitate marketing, raise the
grades, and stimulate bonus prices
for cotton.
