The Asotin Sentinel says: lt is atej that all grain buyer* of this secaon. this year, will class the Jones .-.•d wheat aioug with the bluesiem. ind will pay the same price for it. The Asotin mill concluded last year I.at it was the equal of bluestem, and >aiil as high as eight cents per bushel more lor it than for club wheat and it her varieties. The Jones wheat, straight through his season, will likely briug five etts more than it has sold hereto fore Experienced millers say it makes as high grade of flour as blue- .tem, ana that is what counts. Last year Angus. Gollnlck of Ana- .one. secured a peek of the Minnesota hard wheat and planted it on his place, and from that received about eight bushels, all of which he agaiu planted this year. From last year’s sowing, however, i small volunteer patch came up. and from appearances It is going to prove of a first-class quality. This bit of the volunteer grain is likely to prove a good thing and bring about some beneficial results. The Minnesota bard wheat, in Min nesota. is grown as a spring grain, but if the climatic conditions of this section can convert it Into a good grain to be sown in the fail, and made to yield as good a quality as is grown in Minnesota, it means that more money can be made in the raising of wheat by Eastern Washington farm ers. The Minnesota wheat is rated as the best wheat produced in the Unit ed States, and brings a higher price; and Mr. Barron, the Asotin miller, tavs millers would, aud could afford to pay fully 10 cents more per bush el for such grain, and he Lcqes that a thorough test will be made, now that an experiment ha* been under taken.
