JEFPERsoN.-The acreage of wheat in
this county is 10 to 20 per cent greater
than last year. The yield will be abund-
ant, some farmers claiming an average
yield OF twenty-five bushels to the acre,
but the more cautious think eighteen or
twenty bushels will be the outcome. The
recent rains, coming as they did just when
wheat was in shock, caused 1t TO sprout
somewhat, but not enough to do any seri-
Gus injury. Oats looked bad until lately,
when the rains caused it TO brighten up,
and q fair yield Is anticipated. Hay is
very poor, land the crop will be small.
Potatoes are yielding we'll; no trouble ex-
perienced from bugs. Apples and peaches
will be plenty.
