Spring wheat has proven to be a success on Carroll county soil this season. Dr. Z. E. Patrick experimented by having 5 % acres sown in spring wheat, and this' plot produced 132% bushels, or 25% bushels per acre. The wheat is good quality and was harvested a week later than our native wheat. The soil on which the experiment was tried is* a light clay loam. The seed bed was poorly prepared. Blue Stem seed wheat was used. Judging from Dr. Patrick’s experience, there seems to be no reason why the light soil of Carroll county would not produce large yields of spring wheat-—Delphi Journal.
