Wheat of ancient men mikes large grain for Slough
Seed from a Utah cliff dwellers' wheat variety was brought to California by U S Blough from Ed McKevitt, a Waterloo man now in the sunshine state. The wheat, grown in a small garden patch, shows exceptionally large heads and kernels though weather has been unfavorable. Seed was planted on several farms, with mixed success due to drought. Next year all seed will be saved at the Sierlof farm for replanting as Black Hawk county observers monitor yields.
