County

We originally placed the yield in this
county at an average Of II bushels per
acre. Notes from the thrcshcr in all
parts Of the county, give actual results
far in advance of all our estimates. Ii
Is now safe to say that our average will
be Is bushels. The timber towns have
done so we'll that they have far more
than made up for any other deficiency.
We have actual returns from 20 thrcsh-
ingS, which give an average of over 10
bushels. We therefore fix the average
at Is bushels, which will give this
county, with its planting of 93,7ls acre,
the snug product Of l,GSG,92i bushels.
