More Miracle Wheat
OUR notice of the "Miracle
Wheat" grown in Virginia,
the grower reports, has caused him lots of trouble answering letters and
returning money sent for small samples. He has shown us representative stalks
of the wheat and photos of its growing in the field, fully corroborating all
that we have published respecting the same. But he refuses to sell any of it
until he has secured a fair stock, which will be in a few years hence. Meantime the matter has brought out the fact that others are also propagating
"Miracle Wheat," as witnessed by the subjoined reports. We advise
farmers to begin at once to inspect their wheat before cutting and cull out for
seed the choicest, fullest heads or most "stooled." Our thought is
that in this natural way God is preparing for the Millennium, when "the
earth shall yield her increase." SEVEN-HEADED WHEAT DISCOVERED W. W. Ward, of Dayton, Washington, has discovered a new variety of
wheat that has seven distinct heads united to a common base. And each head is
larger than the ordinary wheat. Ward figures that the new variety will yield as
high as 280 bushels to the acre, with an average of 200 bushels. Hundreds of farmers have visited the Ward ranch and are intensely interested in
the new wheat. All have asked for a few pounds of the seed, but Ward is
figuring upon further experiments and plans to plant all of this year's crop
next season, enlarging his present area to about three acres. Ward has been experimenting for five years to get a wheat that will yield
bigger crops, but never expected anything like the seven-headed variety.--Sioux City Tribune.
