FROM CORNFIELD TO TABLE.
The very latest cornfteld-to-table record was made the other day at Walla Walla, a town in the State of Washington. Wheat growing in the field has been cut, threshed, ground into flour, mixed into dough, aud made into rolls within twenty-two minutes. The methods seem to have differed from the ordinary, mainly in the employment of a swift motor-car to carry the wheat to the mill. Those who were privileged to taste the piping hot bread pronounced it delicious. We are assured that this new record has "torn big holes" in the one hp'd by a Minneapolis milling company, which has been boasting for years of performing a similar feat in fifty-five minutes.
