Southern One Of the County's
Best Wheat Growers
Mr. J. Alex Southern, of Ger
manton Route 1. was in town a ;
few days ago, and tin Reporter ;
interviewed him with regard to
the wheat crop, which is report
ed short from every -«i-t i >n of
j the county. Mr. Southern, who
jis one of the county's biggest
wheat growers, owning a large,
farm which is peculiarly adapted
to the growth of the cereal,
gives it as his opinion that there
will be less than half a crop of
'wheat harvested. The great
shortage is attributed to the wet
weather of the winter and
spring, which caused rust, and
to the destiuctivi Hessian fly.
which got in its work to an un
usual extent on the present
crop.
As early as last court, which
was the tir-t of May. Mr. South-,
ern predicted the shortage, and
he sees no reason to change lis
figures.
