Idaho, April 22—Mix A Griffith are preparing a 100-acre tract on the Julia Moore farm, northeast of town, which will be planted to orn wheat, under contract with M J Shields 4 Co., seed merchants, who have orders for a large quantity of seed from farming communities east of the Rocky Mountains. Although considerable quantities of this grain have been raised in the Moscow section, it has never been undertaken commercially before. Small tracts of the corn wheat have yielded as much as 70 bushels to the acre here. and it is confidently predicted that at least 45 bushels an acre can be raised during any aver age crop year.
