DOUBLE YOUR PROFIT* FROM WHEAT.

Millers pay more per bushel for high quality wheat than they do for that which only grades number four or five, according to a Chicago Board of Trade Member. Ohio Experiment Station Bulletin 243 shows that high quality wheat and large yields go together, thus giving the farmer double profits. The experlments reported In Bulletin 243 show a yield of 8.45 bushels of wheat per acre with 51 per cent plump and 49 per cent,shriveled kernels, where no fertilizer was used, against a yield of as high as 34.1 S bushels per acre of which 94 per cent of the kernels were plump and but 6 per cent shriveled when the wheat was fertilized.
