Mill, gets 366 bushels of rent from the
100 acre wheat field belonging to him
and mentioned last fall as having been
sowed down by number of parties on

XThe York Drug Stores bicycle con-
test, which has been in progress during
the past few months, came to close
last Saturday, when the wheel was
awarded to Miss Rose Lindsay, of
Yorkville. Miss Lindsay received Il
1862 votes, and her nearest competitor,
Miss Louise Lowry, received 1850.
In all, about 1000 out of nearly 10,-
600 votes given out, were cast in the
contest.
Over II Bushels to the Acre.
A fraction over II bushels to the
acre Is the yield of the wheat crop
that Captain J. R. Lindsay raised on
the "Dr. J. F. Lindsay place" on the
outskirts of Yorkville this year. The
wheat was threshed last Saturday. As
nearly as can be estimated, there were
80 acres of it, and the yield was 51S
bushels. Taken altogether it was an
unusually fine crop of wheat. A por-
ton of it yielded over 25 bushels to
the acre, and some of it, of course,
fell lower. The average for so large a
patch is very good.
