CROPS IN MINNESOTA.
1nresning Machine Figures---Reports Bet
ter THAI, Expected.
Jackson Republic, Aug. "A: Threshing Is
progressing and wheat is generally averaging
full better than was expected, though the
grade is nothing to boast OF. ga
Currie Murray county, Pioneer, Aug.
%: Several of our farmers have threshed,
and report the yield of wheat varying from
twelve to twenty. bushels per acre.
Saint Charles CWinona county, Times,

has threshed LOO bushels of wheat, the
yield being about twenty bushels per acre of
No. wheat.
Dundas Rice county, Neaos,< Aug. "a:
Wheat in this vicinity will average fourteen
bushels to the acre, and grade No. and 3.
There are ten or fifteen Thousand bushels of
old wheat, held by farmers in this section.
Elk River (Sherburne county Star, Aug.
%: Mr.. Frye says the wheat crop up at
Clear Lake is very good this year, and so
far as threshed has yielded from eighteen to
twenty-three bushels per acre and mostly
No. I.
Fairmont (Martin county, Sentinel, Aug.
%: Wheat is turning out much better than
expected. We hear of several pieces which
yielded from twelve to twenty bushels to the
acre. Oats are going all the way from forty
to seventy-fve bushels to the acre.
Cambridge City, (Isanti county, Press
Aug. 22 Two farmers have threshed in this
vicinity, S. S. Bunker and D. Hone. The
formers wheat averaged seventeen and three
fourth bushels to an acre, and the latter's
twenty and half. All grading No. 1.
Howard Lake Wright county, Peoples
Adcocate, Aug. %: Threshing is in prog
ress, with better results than was anticipated,
in many instances yielding twenty-five bush
els to the acre, grading No. 2. Dave Nc
Daniel threshed Cos bushels from twenty
acres.
Lanesborough Fillmore county, Journal,
Aug. "a: Farmers are pretty nearly through
with their stacking, and the hum of the
threshing machine is heard in the land. Ten
to twelve bushels per acre are being realized.
Very little of it will be frst-class wheat in
Fillmore county.
Redwood Falls Gazette, Aug. %: The
wheat in this vicinity is proving to be of
much better quality than it was thought to
be during harvest. Very little has come into
market yet. OF the 612 bushels received at
the elevator on Tuesday SIS bushels went
No. and SO bushels No. 3.
Anoka Union, Aug. a. John Moss, of
Burns, raised 625 bushels of wheat on twen-
ty-tive acres this year-an average of twenty
five bushels to the acre. Jacob Eastman,
harvested Monday 140 bushels of wheat
from six acres, over twenty-thr bushels, to
the acre, and sandy at that.
St. Cloud (Stearns county, Journal Press,
Aug. %: Mr.. Geo. T. Eice, of the town of
Langolia, Benton county, informs us that
the wheat thus far threshed has yielded from
eighteen to twenty buahels to the acre, all
No. 1, and that dressings have mostly been
of grain raised on the ightest soil in the
county, so that still better returns are e1-
pected.
LIE Sueur Sentinel, Aug. %: The reports
from the threshing machines during the past
week show about the same general results as
to the wheat crop. There are some good
yields and an occasional field of good wheat.
The yield, in fact, is not so much subject
of complaint as the poor quality. The wheat
thus far threshed on the small prairie in
this county, near LIE Sueur, runs from 8 to
16 bushels per acre-with an occasional
heavier yield.
Alexandria douglas county, Neus, Aug
%: Good crop-Mr. J. Kolhaus, of Carlos,
had field of forty acres of wheat. Last
| week he threshed the product and got $50
bushels, machine measure-or 2l15 bushels
to the acre. Mr.. Eugene Bolton, of Orange,
threshed some of his new wheat the latter
part of last week. The grain threshed was
| some that was badly tangled and down in
the field, and Mr.. Bolton selected it as being
| some of the poorest that he had. The yield
was eighteen bushels to the acre.
Hokah (Houston county, Blade, Aug. "a:
George Grove, Mound Prairie, left a sample
of wheat at our Office Tuesday, known as the
Golden Drop variety, and it is a good quality
of No. 2. From piece of seven and one
half acres there was yield of 157 bushels,
and this we consider is an excellent turnout.
VIM. Orr, also of Mound Prairie, threshed a
! field Of White Amber which averaged seven
teen bushels per acre. Chris. Hammer tells
US that he has fifty acres that will go at least
| seventeen bushels per acre. So it seems as
if the yield in this vicinity is very good.
| Chatfeld Democrat, Aug. "a: Several
farmers in this vicinity who have threshed
out of the shock are more than agreeably
disappointed at the result. DR.. D. Jacobs,
| from twenty-five acres, reports 40 bushels,
| machine measure, or twenty-five bushels to
| the acre of No. wheat. DR.. A. "a. Trow,
vut0 rfoi,, ,1,o&1
not to cut ninety acres, informs US that he
is not yet through thrsshing, but figures up
at about twelve or thirteen bushels to the
acre of No. 2. Ed. Blakesly, of Elmira,
| Olnsted county. from fifty acres reports
| twelve bushels to the acre. No. 2.
Rochester. (Olmsted County, Post, Aug.
%: Mr.. S. b. Daniels has been grinding
quantity of new wheat at his steam mill in
this city, and furnishes US with some items
in regard to the yield and quality of flour.
Mr.. w. D. Hurlbut's wheat makes twenty
five pounds of -four to the bushel-sixty
pounds. Wheat raised by MI. Robert At
kinson, Oronoco, yields thirty-eight POUNDS
of -four to the bushel. Mr.. Daniels reports
the average for the new wheat at thirty
pounds of good merchantable -four to the
bushel- much better showing than has
OOOA o1tACIpotCu, duu Which, uoluOuStfdIOS
that the wheat crop is not an entire failure,
nor SO near dead loss as it might have
been.
Rochester (Olmsted county, Record and
Union, Aug. %: Mr.. S. 81. Daniels, pro-
prietor of the steam feed mill, says he has
experimental somewhat extensively in grist-
| ing from the new crop of wheat, and finds
that the average yield of -four per bushe
will be considerably above what was general
ly expected. The samples gristed yielded
from twenty-five to thirty-eight lbs. per
| bushel, and he thinks that on an average it
will yield about thirty lbs. of -four. It
would seem from this that the fears of those
who predicted that the new wheat would be
good for nothing for gristing are not likely
| to be realized. A quantity of wheat from a
field just east of the city gristed only twenty
three lbs. of -four to the bushel, while a
bushel of No. will yield thirty-six lbs.
