The Wheat CROP.

Nick Mayrath called last Friday and
gave us some interesting facts concern
ing grain crops and fruits. He is run
ming binder and has been cutting grain
for himself, G. NJ. Shain and John
GOodwine. He says the yield will be
larger than was at first estimated, owing
to the fact that heads are long, with
three grains to the mesh in varieties
which usually only have two. Then the
berry is plumper than usual. There
were good rains just as it was filling,
then turned dry without becoming very
hot, which filled and ripened to perfect
ion. A noticeable fact is that it takes
fully four pounds of Irvine to bind an
acre of wheat when formerly only about
two and one-half were required. He has
been acting as special reporter for the
agricultural department of the state, is
known to be very conservative, yet gives
it as his opinion that the wheat which
he is now harvesting which was put into
the ground in good condition, will yield
from twenty-five to forty bushels per
acre. 1t was first intended to have the
bound wheat threshed out of the shock
without stacking, but those who have
machines are said to have raised the
price from four to six and One-half cents
per bushel, which has caused the wheat
producers to now resolve to stack their
grain and await the coming of threshers
from farther east.

Frank Ridenour a Bond Holder

The many friends of Col. Frank Ride
nour will be pleased to learn that pen
sion of S12 per month with 1929 back
pay was granted him last week. He is
one of the deserving Grand Army boys
who fought under the stars and stripes,
and is still loyal to the principles repre-
sented by the grand old flag. He wears
the uniform blue, and has ever been a
law abiding citizen. For four years he
has been deputy sheriff and member of
the police force in Trinidad, Colorado,
but failing health called him back to
Ford county where his folks have lived
for eleven years. He will likely invest
his means in improving his ranch in the
Ridenour neighborhood, which is twelve
miles northwest of Dodge. Frank has al
ways been popular among his acquaint-
ances and this will cause him to be none
the less so. May he live long to enjoy
this pension.
