The wheat crop of Sull Y county
taken as whole, rather knocks the
wind out of the "croakers' who have
been predicting all manner of evil.
Some may no doubt be disappointed,
because they have figured on Il yield
higher than the manner in which their
crops were put in and the condition of
the ground would justify, but, every
thing considered, the crop is certainly
very satisfactory.
Within radius of about five miles,
short distance northwest of Clifton,
there are no less than about dozen
self-bindcrs and headers, nearly all OF
them new. Among the number thus
provided may be named }. W. Carpen-

Farmers are now in the midst OF
harvest and rushed with work. The
dry weather has ripened the wheat up
very fast the past few days, so much
so that it is largely coming on in a
bunch, whereas it was expected that
the early sown would ripen in time to
harvest and get out of the way of the
later sown and the Oat crop. Howev-
er, the self binders and the headers
are securing it rapidly, and none will
suffer very much before it can be Sc
cured.
