Eirly Bart Wheat Proves its Worth
On a recent visit to the Echo
country. W. I.. Rubbins found that
the Early liart wheat has more than
justified the hopes of those who
have introduced this variety. Al
though Echo has had the worst Ma
son in 20 years, there are fields of
Early Bart which promise yields of
15 to 20 bushels, while the old va
rieties are almost a complete fail
ure. Marquis wheat, which has
been largely planted in the Nolin
neighborhood, is also sijccessfut.
George Ott, a Weston farmer, has a
field of Early Bart on the breaks of
the Columbia, overlooking Me
Comas island, which looks to well
that he expects it to yield 20 bush
els per acre. If his hopes are real
ized this grain will have proven
itself a boon to the ,ight land
farmer in a dry season. That it
will also do well on heavier ground
is indicated around Weston, where
some of it is being tried. ;
