Every available threshing machine has
been brought into use, and drive where
you will you can hear them hum Thresh
ers inform Us that the yield will average
about sixteen bushels per acre in this coun
~, and no fields have yielded less thar
twelve. In Grant county, we learn from
The same source that the wheat will prob
ably average a little better, one piece hav
ing yielded twenty lone bushels per acre
and on the farm adjoining the yield was
only ten. The quality so far is not abov,
No. 2. but what is coming in is from th,
shock and consequently is not fair sam
pie.
We made brief mention last week TO ilit
Effect, that the elevators at this point hat
decided TO receive no more wheat unless
properly cleaned. The large crop ant
consequent extra demands upon time ant
stoflg capacity has forced them 10 adop
this rule. 1t will be apparent to all tina
In order to clean wheat that they must re
ceive some compensation and this has no
heretofore been the case, but the intens
rivalry which existed last season induce,
the elevator agents to resort to every mean
TO secure the larger port on of the crop, q
they received II commission for handling
and the more they handled the more the
made, and as the expense of cleaning cam
out of their commission or salary 1t is cas-
TO see that they were working at loss
which was actually the case. Farmer
will nov have 70 put their wheat int
marketah.c sltape.
