SUCCESS WITH WHEAT
GROWN IN THE TARANAKI
63 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE
That Taranaki can successfully grow and harvest wheat has been proved by Messrs L. H. and K. A. Andrews, Okato, who for many years have been growing it on upwards of 100 acres between Okato and Oanui. This year they threshed 27 stacks, averaging 63 bushels to the acre. This was the third successive crop of wheat on land that was formerly waste, full of stumps and covered with gorse and blackberry.
