The Alert particularly desires
every man in the county to show
enough interest in our reputation
to bring in correct and reliable re-
ports Of the wheat yield as soon

have underestimated our yield, and
there seems a probability now that
the average in the county will ex-
ceed twenty bushels per acre, of
No. 1 hard wheat, worth to-day
about 81 per bushel. Goodbye
