bushels of wheat in one year. He now
has under cultivation over 500 acres of
land. About a year ago he built a

exhibit itself in line rainient and os-

acres. He has grown the enormous
amount of 10.000 bushels of wheat in
one year. During the past year Mr
-Sterling has erected some very fine
buildings on his farm and tt *visit to
this place will convince aeyone of the
great possibilities of this country. kir.
Sterling is worth today $14.000 and
