SHOULD I LEAVE WHEAT TO HARVEST This question has been asked a number of times lately. Due to dry weather last fall until November 1, late seeding, and extremely cold win ter some are wondering if wheat and other small grains (barley & rye) has not been completely froien out A few are asking if grass seed should be sowed in wheat this spring. Dur ing the coldest weather the wheat stand was protected with a blanket of snow. The freeiing and thawing has hurt wheat a little, and in broad casting wheat by hand much of the seed is lost for germination. ; Although tne stand looks poor now I should still give the. wheat a chance to be' harvested yet When it is bin on ihs ground the small grams have a much better chance to stool out. A few invited guests joined the faculty and student body of Mai Hill College at 11:00) o'clock last Monday morning in celebration of the naming of the institution Mars Hill College the name being changed from, the French Broad Baptist Institute, February 17. 1859, fifty-seven years ag,go.
