Wheat Ridge

He helped set up an institute in Mexico aimed at improving wheat and corn production.

In 1205 wheat was worth 12 pence per bushel, which was cheap, as there had been some years of famine previous thereto.

Wheat gives place to Rye about the same time, and the Potato, at first comparatively rare, becomes universal.

With this company he had rendered valiant service in the campaign which ended with the battle of Pea Ridge.

He had the land in Tripp County that was broken into winter wheat, while that in the next county east was rented.

For most of the way the country is flat and fertile, and in good part devoted to Grazing, though considerable Wheat is grown.
