WHEAT. CROPS
PRICE DOOMED
FOR DROP
Albert A. Ady of Montgomery
Sees New Boom for Farmers;
Garden Club Work Praised

That the price Of wheat in
Montgomery county is doomed to
drop still lower, is the predic-
ton made by Albert A. Ady, as
sistant county agent of Montgom-
cry county, who in his monthly
report, completed today, urges all
who have no use for this grain
to sell Immediately.
Mr.. Ady has been making q
survey of the county and its
mills. The price of wheat, now,
is around so cents a bushel, but
due to the abundance already
harvested, which has overcrowded
the market and which must there
fore be stored, there will be no
place to store the new crop
Garden club work has greatly
increased in the county, Mr.. Ady
declared, especially in suburban
districts. Vegetables that are
easily canned, such as peas, beans
and the root vegetables, predomi-
nate.
Recent rains have enhanced the
possibilities of good crops in this
county, having an indirect in
fluence on the dairy industry.
In the dairy division, one OF
the county's great industries the
condition of the animals, Mr..
Ady found to be, in'all probability
the best for several years.
