JIow to Qroir a Profitable Crop of Wheat. THE £EW HARVEST ItINq WHEAT. Ii is now in order to consider the next crop of wheat ana devise some plan, if possible to make it a profitable one. To discontinue growing wheat is out of the question. If fewer acres were sown and the yield per acre sufficiently increased the question of profitable wheat growiug may he considered as solved, A little pamphlet which is before us,published by the well known seedsman, J. A. Everitt, of Indianapolis, Ind., entitled “Something to Think About,” appears to oiler a practical solution of the problem for the wheat growers ot Pike county. This house has a national reputation on account of the maov valuable varieties of grain and vegetables they have introduced, and because it is one of the largest and most reliable concerns in the country, They 5 are now in possession of a limited quantity of a valuable new variety of wheat which they have named Harvest King. It is their intention to place a quautity of this wheat in this county, without charge for the seed, on condition that they control one-half of the crop, or will sell the seed to farmers at a moderate price. The object is to grow a large stack of this fine variety for 1895, vrheo they will introduce it generally throughout the countrv. The Joe Pattersou Co, of Petersburg, has been appointed their agents. They will be pleased to explain the the plan, show samples and furnish free to interested parties the book, “Something to Think About.” As only a limited quantity will be placed this year, applications should be made early.
