Whllu perusing your excellent paper, of a
late date, I found an Inquiry as to who the
oommlltee was tliat oxamlned the wheat on
exhibition at tho State Fair of 1B75, signed,
"A Parmer."
In answer to brother farmer, I will state
that be is oorroot about tho wheat being
passed by the oommlUee, tot no'other reason
only, that it was spring wheat fproper)tbougu
ta sample was fall sown grain on a burn",
and 'brushed In. lie is also correct, about
the award at the Centennial. I was awarded
thsArat and highest prlae over all other
exhibitors, and that upon a peok of the same
bushel that the committee at our State Pair
faaeed without any award whatever.' " "
