About Wheat I :'olonel .loiii II. Wharton, the sena tor from Laurens, in a statesmanlike utterance in The Laurens Advertiser declares: 'Anybody with foresight ca see t hat bread means more to the~ world now than we have ever known before. Why should I leave my chance for wheat bread next year to uncer tain conditions (there are so many ahead of us) when I can be certai about the matter by having some a home of my own raising? The Lau rens county farmer who fails to do his best in land, fertilizer and attention h c'ertainlly very slow to see is plair' duty not only to his country, but to his wyife and children." A. ii.
