Mr.. Marshall Burns is keeping up the
reputation of his late father in wheat rails
ing. Mr. Jas. w. Bane gives us the report
that from 90 acres he threshed l ,575 bushels
of wheat, a frsclion over "a bushels per
acre, in one aud one-half days. This is q
splendid yield for this season, when the gen.
eral average is some eight or ten bushels, as
it is also tip top threshing, being an average
of over 900 bushels per day.
Mr.. Jas. Starr, in passing through town
on Tuesday last with his steam threshor, in-
formed reporter of the Advocate that be
had Just finished threshing l60 acres of
wheat in the western section of the county,
the whole aggregsting little less than 600
bushels This is an average of 81 bushels
to the acre, which is scarcely little more
than the seed sown last fall. Mr.. Starr also
tells us that he sold some of his wheat at 45
cents per bushel, which is below the cost OF
producing it, even with full crop. A few
more years of gold buggery with an occa-
sional drouth thrown in for good measure
and majority of our best farming lands
will be turned out to commons.-AdrOcdte.
few years of drouth and chinch- buggery
would eliminate the currency question so
far as the wheat product is concerned. The
drouth, however, that struck Mr.. Marshall
Burns sixty-five acres will not impoverish
all other things being equal.
