SECTION 1 PAGES 1 193 ! LARGER ACREAGE or FALL WHEAT; UV us uvo . vvy - That more fall wheat should be`, sown this year is directly accounted} for by the fact that it has been the` surest crop for the past three years and the best the farmers have had. It is the only crop" there is anyv money in, was the way one farmer put it. It is a crop that_ yields` quick returns because it sells for cash, and; besides, other crops have made a poor showing in the last while. One farmer in the Minesing district has already bought over one hundred bushels for seed for forty-ve acres of land. ' VJ lCIl|\Io Harvesting .in some districts, is nished entirely; in others oats are being harvested. By the end of this week the bulk of the grain will be in.
