While large portion Of the wheat will pan out
poorly, it is gratifying to know that there is a
| good portion about here that will thresh out
| from twelve to fifteen bushels to the acre, and
some that will exceed even this amount.

season has been so rapid that it has been i'm
possible to take care of it in time to save waste

In a few more days the grain will be all safely

the acre will not be as large as it was last year.
Faribault Republican, Aug. Z: The weather

are making good progress In harvesting. Inc

Hastings Ne,v Era, Aug. 6: Many pieces OF
wheat in this county will remain uncut, the

st. Peter Tribune Aug. Z: The more closely
the wheat is examined the more certain 1T be-
comes that the yield will be very light in this

(, The wheat will not grade better than No. 8.
Sank Rapids Denton Coz Press, Aug. 6: The
CROP is much more than an average one and the
nrosnects of fair prices incite a feeling of JOY
and hope for better times during the coming
autumn and winter. The past week we have

Lake City (Wabashaw county, Sentinel, Aug
