Notwithstanding wheat is regarded as
a practical failure in this year, there are
some farms which will yield a good pay
ing crop. Thos. Miller, Of Duck creek,
| was in this week, and said he was about
ready to begin TO harvest a crop OF
plump rye and wheat. Sheriff beeson
| will begin harvesting next week, He
estimates his wheat ~ from twenty-five
to forty bushels per acre. We were
somewhat incredulous, and took drive
over there yesterday TO see for ourself.
Seeing was believing, for there, sure
enough. was the field of waving grain,
fast ripening for the harvest. 1t stands
/ thick on the ground. and Is good height
for harvesting. Part Of it has been lrrl-
gated and part had not. Between thai
irrigated and not irrigated the line OF
demarkatiou was clearly defined. mat
not irrigated was yellow with ripeness,
while the other was still green in color.
The former was not quite SO tall as the
latter. Its heads were medium length
and well filled with good. plump grain.
which looks like it would test sixty
pounds, and grade No. =. The irrigated
grain had long heads. just beginning TO
turn golden yellow. We rubbed out
some Of the grain and found it a marvai
of fairness. In fact, the grains were al
most as wide as long. It Is our opinion
this will test sixty-five pounds to the
bushel. Ii is. indeed. encouraging to &C
through This field OF wheat. and see
what deep blowing and thorough prep
arations will do in an unfayorable sea
son. The unirr1gated portion will prob
, ably yield twenty-five bushels TO tbs
acre. while the other will make tifteei
or twenty bushels more.
