A despatch from rer Man., BAYS: W. H. , farming three miles south ar rie in cut a field of 26 acres of wheat on July 1g. The wheat is a new bearded variety known as Hungarian red. This year it will-go 18 bushels to the acre, but in an ordinary year will yield 26 to 30 bushels. It has stood the test of drought and the high winds which prevailed this sea- .on in a remarkable manner. Last year this wheat matured in 85 days. I. matured as early or earlier than fall wheat, and was about the same milling quality as Alberta winter wheat, with the great advantage that it goes about 66 pounds to the bushel. Mr. Elford got a small quantity of wheat several years ago from the Argentine Republic: ey See SEEN IN PARIS SHOPS. Turbans are flat and broad.
