Show PLANT TURKEY RED WHEAT. The College Pure Food company is in receipt of the following letter from the Inter-Mountain Milling company. As it contains a business proposition which it may be well for mill wheat growers of the valley to look into, we offer it for their consideration refer ringthem for further information to the company at Salt Lake City. ' Salt Lake City, Utah, June 25, '08. College Pure Food Company: Gentlemen. We expect to ship a car of Turkey Red wheat from- Kansas Kan-sas which we will sell or exchange with farmers at actual cost. We are particularly anxious to get this grade of wheat started in Utah and Idaho for a number of reasons. In the first place there arc large quantities of Kansas flour shipped to markets that Utah mills should supply, sup-ply, simply because of the quality of the wheat that the Kansas flour i- manufactured from. This Turkey Red wheat can be growtt successfully in this country as a number of farm- j crs have and arc growing it and arc very much pleased both with the quality and the yield. Bcsid'cs this Jt j is highly recommended 'by the Agricultural Agri-cultural College. I Perhaps the strongest argument in favor of this wlrcnt is that mills in Kansas and other eastern states that grind the Turkey Red wheat arc able 1 to ship their flour into all western markets where the local flour is made from white or soft wheat and they .always .al-ways com mn lid much higher prices. Three things arc essential for good crops: First. Ground well prepared: Second. Good, clean seed. Third.. Rotation of crops. These Hire things, if practiced, unremittingly un-remittingly will assure good results. This car of seed we are shipping from Kansas will be of the very bests quality and wc cannot urge too strongly the importance of farmers in this section growing this kind of wheat. This will enable us to shut out the flour that is shipped in from Kansas and other eastern points which will not only he a henefit to in but to the fanners in this section. Wc cannot name you a price on this wheat at present but will furnish it to you at actual cost to us, and if you docidc to sow any of this seed this full kindly advise us, as this is strictly strict-ly a fall wheat. The earlier sown thc better. |
