RAISES BIG CROP OP WHEAT.

What is probably the largest crop of wheat ever raised on odo farm in Jasper county was threshed on the Iroquois Farm for Charley Pullin and his son Joseph, 1,800 bushels in all. It is all of the Turkish Red variety, so highly prized for its milling qualities that a premuim of 10 cents per bushel was paid by the Rensselaer millers for the product last year. Mr. Pullin says at present prices this drop is worth just double that of the adjoining crop of oats.
