Profit in Wheat

Farmers complain hat the price they get
for their wheat is less than it costs; but there is a
good profit in good wheat raised under proper
methods. In any event if the bulk Of the wheat
carelessly grown in this natures wonderland, is of in
ferior quality, nobody can be blamed for the lowness Of
the price as long s this mongrel wheat drags down the
market. The easiest way to send clean wheat to the
market is to keep the weed seeds and other dockage
out of the field.
