county sowed to wheat, for grain, 44,528
acres; for hay, 81 ,046-an increased acrea. e
of nearly 1000 acres over the previous
wear. There were sowed to barley, for
grain, 40, 147 acres for hay, 81, 924-an in
creased acreage of 1850. To oats there
were sowed, for grain, ATS acres, and 1915
for hay-an increase of nearly 1,OOc acres.
The results of this years crop, as ascer-
tanned from the dealers and producers, are
flattering. The amount of wheat pro-
duced has not been up to that OF former
years, neither has the quality been up TO
our previous standard; still, the crop has
been good. A great deal that was sowed
for grain was cut for hay. Careful estl-
mates place the yield at about 5000 to TO-
600 tons. The prices obtained by our farm
ers have not been satisfactory. 81 % per
GENITAL being about the highest real
lied. The yield of barley has been very
good. Estimates place the crop at about
10000 tons. The quality is unsurpassed.
The cheyalier was unexceptionably good,
while the common was much above the
standard, and some reached as high as 81
pounds to the bushel. Nearly all of the
last crop of cheyalier was engaged early in
the season by English firms. The common
barley being so fine, has been in consider
able demand for the same market. This IS
the first shipment of common barley to
England AS to oats, very little has been
produced except for hay. AS grain it
does not yield SO profitable crop as bar
ley. The same may be said of rye. As to
hay, this season has been very favorable,
and the yield is up to the average. The
prices are fair. There is very little old hay
left over, and the local dealers are feeling
