HALLS HARVEST IS BoUNTIFUL
Has Gathered One Thousand Bushels
Of Oats.

When planting time came, and far
mers generally figured on planting
cotton, Bruce Hall, young farmer
four miles from Americas, laid out
twenty acres for an oat crop.
The land was rich and the oats grew
luxuriantly.
A prett1er field was meyer seen in
Sumter, and the yield was even be-
yond Halls expectations.
From the twenty acre field he has
gathered one thousand bushels, or so
bushels per acre. Two hundred bash
els were kept for his stock, while the
remainder will be sold.
In fact, the 800 bushels, or the
greater part of it, has been sold al
ready at 70 cents per bushel.
At this figure Mr. Halls surplus
crop from his twenty acre field will
bring him $3.50. A good net yield
from twenty acres of land.
Mr.. Hall brought in yesterday morn
ing four wagon loads of his oats for
delivery to H. L. Mize, the Cotton
Avenue merchant, who will handle
the larger portion of this very fine
oatscrop.
Oats are scarce and very high this
year, and farmers who raised them
are strictly in it.
