"You Can't Raise Winter Wheat in Minnesota."—The deuce we can't! Go out to the farm of W. L. Ames, two miles north of St. Paul, in the neighborhood of Phalen's Lake, and see proof positive of the fact. There is a field of the article growing finely, which cannot be beat in Ohio or Michigan. It was sown the first of October, one month too late for this country, but still it stands thick upon the ground and promises a large yield. We understand another fine field of winter grain, wheat and rye, may be seen upon the farm at the Half-way House, between St. Paul and Stillwater. No man of experience, who resided here through last winter, will doubt the capacity of Minnesota as a great wheat-growing country.
