Perry Cole makes the interesting report that he has eXperimented successfully with wheat raising on his Kasilof homestead this season, says the Seldovia Herald He put 3 2O0-foot square plot into wheat, and the gain thrived excellently, he said, and ripened to fine ma turity.
 This is the first flyer made with Kasilof wheat, and the experiment has been watched with great inter est by MT. Coles neighbors who may locate at Kasilof when wheat growing possibilities are proven.
 The patch of wheat has been cut and stacked, ready for thresh- ing.
 "Oat crops" said MT. Cole, "are considered the regular thing at kasilof, and now that it has been demonstrated that wheat can be successfully grown, why everybody

 Mr. Cole also had something to say about his parden output. His cabbages attained great size and were of firm quality. Beets and rutabagas left nothing to be de- sired. Potatoes were particularly good, he said. Also the onion de- velopment.
