  "While 
  San 
  Luis 
  Potosi 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  wheat-growing 
  district, 
  yet 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  certain 
  amount 
  

   of 
  land 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  and 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  capital 
  where 
  wheat 
  is 
  raised, 
  probably 
  yielding 
  

   about 
  200,000 
  bushels 
  within 
  the 
  State. 
  This 
  wheat 
  land 
  extends 
  southward 
  and 
  

   westward 
  into 
  Guanajuato 
  and 
  Jalisco. 
  The 
  varieties 
  of 
  wheat 
  raised 
  are 
  red, 
  white, 
  

   and 
  mixed. 
  Medium-soft 
  red 
  wheat 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  give 
  the 
  best 
  results, 
  and 
  the 
  grade 
  

   produced 
  improves

  district 
  mentioned

  "Seed

  Laranja 
  da

  This 
  variety 
  of 
  citrus 
  is 
  used 
  extensively 
  at 
  Bahia, 
  

   the 
  home 
  of 
  the 
  Bahia 
  navel 
  oranges, 
  as 
  a 
  stock 
  on 
  which 
  to 
  graft 
  this 
  remarkable 
  

   seedless 
  orange 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  so 
  phenomenally 
  successful 
  in 
  America. 
  It 
  is 
  claimed 
  

   that 
  the 
  Bahia 
  navel 
  when 
  grafted 
  on 
  this 
  stock 
  thrives 
  and 
  bears 
  better 
  than 
  when 
  

   worked 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  common 
  citrus 
  stock 
  known 
  as 
  the 
  Laranja

  "There 
  is 
  some 
  doubt

  to 
  whether 
  these 
  are 
  really 
  distinct 
  varieties

  simply 
  

   names
